Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal/Qwark's Hideout

Find Captain Qwark

PDA

From the beginning, instead of crossing the moving platform, there are stairs to your right. Follow them up and around back to a Gravity Boots funnel. At the bottom, your progress will be saved at a Continue Point.

Titanium Bolt

From the beginning of the Gravity Boots surface, you jump over a single arc, then two arcs in an X configuration. Ahead the path will turn left. Instead, look over the edge to see the Titanium Bolt on a small platform. Proceed along the path until you are much higher in the room then walk off the path and glide to the platform.

Follow the path jumping over the arcing electricity until you reach a Gravity Boots surface ring at the end. Walk off the surface, and defeat the small enemies while continuing on the path, avoiding the electricity defenses. You will reach another Gravity Boots surface so follow it. At the end is an area defended by Qwark robots. Destroy the bots, avoid the laser defenses and walk onto the Gravity Boots surface on the other side. Continue past even more laser defenses until you reach a room at the end. You can purchase the PDA here for 250,000 bolts and use the teleporter to return to your ship. If you can't afford it now, the

As soon as you land, Slim Cognito will inform you that the Bouncer has arrived. There is an Auto-Vendor ahead. Time your jump and use the moving platform to get to the other side. On the other side, four small enemies will attack. You will need the Warp Pad to pass this next section. Step onto the elevator at the end and attack to the Warp Pad on it. Go back and stand on the button until the elevator is at the top, then use to warp to the top.

Ahead, there is a cannon shooting out more small enemies. Behind that is a set of barriers you can use as temporary cover, as they are destructible. A Qwark Robot will come out of the room just behind it, and once defeated another will spawn in its place. There are another pair of Qwark Robots on the right, and four more behind a barrier. As you defeat the robots, check the rooms for crates of ammo, health, and of course bolts.

There is a raised platform behind, at the end of which is another Warp Pad. Set the destination, collect the crates and step on the button to deactivate the forcefield. Warp to the pad and proceed through the field before it re-materializes. There are a few small enemies on the other side. You can recharge at the Auto-Vendor here.

Grab the zipline and when you land, there will be some cover and three Quark Robots who will attack you. As they die, three more will come to replace them. There is also a Jackpot crate in the stack of crates where you land, and the floor is slippery. Once they're all defeated, climb up the ladder.

Skill Point: Break the Dan

Once you've cleared out the Qwark Robots on this platform, on the right side will be a small space between the building you're connected to and the next. Double jump to the side of the other building, don't glide as you can't wall jump after, and wall jump between the two buildings to get to the top. Destroy the snowman ahead to get the skill point.

To the left will be a large gap and on the other side you will see a laser scanning back and forth. Use the Hypershot to get across. When you arrive, there will be four Qwark Robots waiting for you, with two more in reserve. Defeat them while avoiding the sweeping laser.

There is a small pool of frozen water, with small icy platforms on it. You can jump to the first and use the Hypershot to pull yourself to the end, or double jump to the second platform and then jump to solid ground. There are two small enemies on this platform; be careful not to get knocked into the freezing water. Looking over the edge, you will see two Qwark Robots and a rotating laser. Take the Qwark bots out from a distance before gliding in. Be sure to land on the solid ice platforms. When you do land, two more Qwark Robots will come out, and two more after they die. There are crates in the area behind them.

Captain Qwark Trophy

Search the two rooms where the reserve robots were coming out of. The one on the left contains the trophy.

On the raised platform to the left is one visible Qwark Robot, and as you approach three more will jump out. Five more will come out after they are defeated. After they've all been defeated, enter the door at the end. It will slam behind you and your progress will be saved at the Continue Point. You'll need to have Clank continue without you since you're boxed in.

As Clank, destroy the crates and move ahead. Two small enemies will attack and icicles will fall from the ceiling creating a path across the water. Continue and you will reach a large room with three paths. Get close to the Gadgetbot down the right path and order him to follow. Step on the button in the left passage and order the other bot to follow as well. Have them take out the fan in the middle path then enter the receiver to lower the forcefield.

Carefully avoid the lasers in the passageway and destroy the console to disable the three horizontal lasers. There is a large room full of freezing water ahead. Use the icy platforms on the right to get to the next platform. More icicles will fall from the roof when you reach it, creating a path to the next platform. Here the monkey will join you and you'll get a Continue Point.

Use the monkey to distract the light as you get past. Jump and glide to the other side of the gap. Use the monkey to distract the other light while you get past, then shoot a banana to the button on the other side to extend the bridge. In the big room ahead, there is a cannon shooting out small enemies. The monkey will distract them while you take out the cannon. From this room, you will have 4 corridors to follow, the path leading south requiring a few gadgetbots to unlock.

Completing each of the corridors counter-clockwise from the top, watch the pattern of the lasers which go in a wave formation, allowing you ample space to pass through. Destroy the console at the end to disable all the lasers. For the second, ride the elevator up and defeat a number of small enemies to reach the bot. Have the monkey distract the light to get to the third. Have the three bots enter the receiver to disable the field.

Get past the next set of lasers by watching the timing and sticking to the sides. Destroy the console to disable the lasers. Step on the button in the centre to deactivate the forcefield that was blocking Ratchet, and you will return to him.

As Ratchet, enter the room and approach Qwark for a cutscene. Then use the hovercraft outside to return to your ship. When you enter your ship, another cutscene will play.

Get to the bridge

When you arrive, four ninjas will be attacking and the layout of the ship will be slightly different. Your quarters will be inaccessible and the weapons vendor will also be gone. In the next area there will be a few zapbots and four more ninjas. As you get to the end, two more ninjas will attack. Through the door to where the shuttle to the bridge used to you will drop down into the area below, where four more ninjas will attack. A new path has been revealed to the right. Jump up into the corridor and a number of zapbots will attack, with backup from four ninjas shooting shurikens from long range. Use the Hypershot to get across quickly, and defeat the ninjas.

Jump up to the ledge on the left, and across a small gap will be 3 ninjas. Two more will be on the platform behind them. Use the consoles for cover and take them all out. On the other side, defeat the ninja on the raised platform in the back, and you can use the laser there to take out all the crates, uncovering the sensor to open the door. Some ninjas will also appear in front of the door.

On the other side of the door is a small room with a breakable glass floor. In the next room another set of ninjas are waiting to attack. Be careful when fighting them, as a very large enemy that shoots laser blasts is to your right. There is also a jackpot crate and lots of bolt crates in the area. Take out the ninjas quickly, then focus some very powerful weapons on the big guy, his laser shots can do a lot of damage.

As you approach the doors to the bridge, they will open and six ninjas will come out. Defeat them and enter the bridge for a cutscene. You will then receive the coordinates to Koros and the mission Get inside command center
