Search the laboratories

Search the laboratories was a mission in Ratchet & Clank. Ratchet and Clank received an Infobot from the Commando with co-ordinates for planet Orxon after being unable to continue his mission to explore the walled city. Upon arrival they found the air was so polluted that Ratchet could not continue without an O2 Mask, forcing Clank to travel on his own.

Walkthrough
Enter the passage with Clank, noting a lone toxic crab blocking a route on your left, and deal with any alien swarmers you encounter. Three Gadge-Bots can be freed in this small area, which can help you with some of the swarmers. Command them to enter the teleporters to access different height levels, as they cannot climb on their own. Return to the crab and command them to kill it, followed by entering a bot part to unlock a door behind it. Move along on your own, noting another toxic crab that is not blocking anything, to find two new Gadge-Bots. Use their help to deal with the two nearby swarmers and then jump down to the lowest level to find four more Gadge-Bot, hidden in the nooks and behind crates.

Command your half dozen robots to enter another teleport and bot port to open the gate. Two new Gadge-Bot can be freed, though ignore them for a moment and move around the door blocking them from following you. Step the pressure pad behind it and order them to follow you, where after you must order them to wait on the second pad. Do not forget to free a third nearby Gadge-Bot, which you must also tell to wait, after which you can head through the second door, step on the pad and tell them to follow after you. You must free two more in the next area and have them wait in front of another door after using a teleporter.

Use the nearby machinery to head around this door as well, blowing up the row of explosive crates, and call on your Gadge-Bots to follow you after opening the door using the corresponding pressure pad. A sixth Gadge-Bot and final bot port allows you to enter the laboratories seen in the Infobot recording. Nearby you can find the Magneboots, a new gadget required to continue the mission "Explore the walled city". Clank from here on could either return to the ship or continue to traverse the wilderness.
