You're quite handy with your wrench...
Clank: Interesting.

Ratchet: (yells)

Clank: You're quite handy with your wrench.

Ratchet: You bet! I built that ship with it.

Clank: Hmmm... currently I am in search of someone who could be of assistance in saving the solar system. Do you know where I might find that fellow?

Ratchet: Well, he's on the radio every week. Other than that, no. Hey, what's with all this save the solar system stuff anyway?

Infobot - Drek's plan
Drek: Hello, citizens of-

On-screen (all caps): Novalis

Drek: My race, the blarg, have a small problem. Our planet has become so polluted, overpopulated, and poisonous, that we are no longer able to dwell here. But I, Chairman Drek, have a solution. We are constructing a pristine new world using the choices of planetary components available. So, what does this mean to you, you might ask? Using highly sophisticated technology, which you couldn't possibly understand, we will be extracting a large portion of your planet and adding it to our new one. Unfortunately, this change in mass will cause your planet to spin out of control and drift into the sun where it will explode into a flaming ball of gas, but, of course, sacrifices must be made. Thank you for your cooperation.

Director: Cut!

Drek: And if you don't like it, you can take your whiny, sniveling, snot nosed populations, form a line behind me and kiss my- We're still on? Well turn it off, you idiot!

The people on those planets are hosed!
Ratchet: The people on those planets are hosed! Well, good luck getting Captain Qwark to help you.

Clank: Actually, you could help me. If you could use your ship to take me to the coordinates contained in this infobot, I might be able to gather further information there.

Ratchet: Even if I wanted to, I can't! I'm missing a crucial component of the ship.

Clank: The Robotic Ignition System!

Ratchet: How did you know that?

Clank: I, sir, happen to be equipped with the latest in Robotic Ignition Systems. My programming allows me to start any ship I choose.

Ratchet: So, I agree to take you to this wherever it is, and you get my ship started for me?

Clank: That is what I'm proposing.

Ratchet: Deal!

This could be a problem
On-screen: Chairman Drek's flagship - Veldin Orbit.

Drek: This could be a problem. Take care of it.

Whoa! This is great!
Ratchet: Whoa, this is great!

Ratchet: So that's where I've been stuck this whole time!

Clank: Please return your appendages to the steering mechanism, sir.

Ratchet: Huh? Oh right, heh, sorry. Oh, and by the way, you can stop calling me "sir". The name's Ratchet.

Clank: Pleased to make your acquaintance, sir.

Ratchet: You got a name?

Clank: My serial number is B54296-

Ratchet: Oops! I'll just call you Clank for short. Hang on!

I will not stand for this!
On-screen: Back on Chairman Drek's flagship

Drek: So you see, it would be most beneficial if your citizens were not in the city when my workers begin removing it.

Mayor: Preposterous! I will not stand for this!

Drek: Unfortunately, you have no choice in the matter.

Mayor: Let's just see what Captain Qwark has to say about that, my good man!

Drek: (laughs)

Mayor: I don't see what's so funny, Captain Qwark could dispatch you without even breaking a sweat! You, you puny-

Drek: You have now officially worn out your welcome, and my patience!

Mayor This is your last chance! Stop this madness now!

Drek: Okay, wait... you're right, I will withdraw my troops!

Mayor: Really?

Drek: No! He's all yours gentlemen! Try not to leave any marks!

On-screen: Entering atmosphere of Planet Novalis

Sorry about that.
Ratchet: Oooomph!

Ratchet: Uhm... Clank... where are you?

Clank: I'm right here.

Ratchet: Oh, sorry about that.

Ratchet: Well, we're not leaving the way we came in.

Clank: Perhaps we could procure a ship from one of the inhabitants.

Ratchet: If there are any left.

Clank: Sir, we're not assass-

Ratchet: Hold on, let's see what he's got.

Infobot - Ad for Al's Roboshack
Qwark: Has this ever happened to you?

Qwark: Hi, I'm Captain Qwark, and believe me, there's nothing worse than staring down a Blargian Snagglebeast — from the inside — and knowing your equipment isn't functioning properly! That's why I come to Al's Roboshack for all my electronic needs. Al has been the exclusive repair shop for my super electro gadgets since I was knee high to a sand mouse! If Al can't fix it, it's not broke, right Al?

Al: Er...

Qwark: You said it pal! So if you're fighting crime, or just fighting grime.. (chuckles) Come to Al's Roboshack in Metropolis for all your robotic repairs. Al's Roboshack, it's Qwarktastic!

Captain Qwark has really sold out.
Clank: Do you know what this means?

Ratchet: Yeah, Captain Qwark has really sold out.

Clank: No, it means Captain Qwark is on Metropolis! We could tell him about this invasion.

Ratchet: If we had a ship.

Mayor: Huh? Uh, a ship? You mean you're not gonna torture me? Well, as planetary chairman I could arrange for you to borrow our courier ship!

Ratchet: Cool!

Clank: You can count on us, sir.

Ratchet: Right, thank you, your chairman shippliness.

Excuse me Captain...
Clank: Excuse me, Captain, but we have more pressing issues. We urgently need your assistance.

Ratchet: Clank?

Clank: Yes?

Ratchet: Do you notice anything unusual about Captain Qwark?

Clank: Well I find the fact that he has a spring where his legs should be to be quite puzzling.

Ratchet: And why do you think that is?

Clank: Possibly an injury occurred while battling evil?

Ratchet: This is't the real Captain Qwark, you numbskull! It's a robot!

Ratchet: Whadaya mean?

Clank: We finished the circuit, ma'am.

Helga: Ya, but it was weak, weak, weak! When I was competing I would devour courses like that for breakfast!

Ratchet: Bet that's not all.

Helga: If it were up to me, you would drill, drill, drill for the rest of the day! But somehow you managed to impress that fool Captain Qwark!

Clank: Captain Qwark knows about us?

Helga: He certainly does. And worst of all, he wants me to give you a prize for that ridiculous performance!

Ratchet: Cool, what is it?

Helga: I'm supposed to give you a Swingshot, so you can sway to and fro like little insects!

Ratchet: Alright, let's see it.

Al: No, actually I build robots. I myself am not a robot guy per se. (chuckles)

Ratchet: Nerd.

Clank: I like him.

Al: So, now that we've clared that up, what can I do for you?

Clank: Well, we saw your infobot announcement. You were with Captain Qwark. We're trying to find Captain Qwark. We thought you could help us.

Al: Your logic is commendable, however I haven't seen Captain Qwark since we shot that commercial. Say, do you run on standard XP-18 sisterboards?

Clank: Version 7.66.

Al: Back at ya! I may be able to help you out after all. How does a Heli-Pack upgrade sound?

Ratchet: Yeah, but if that's the kind of help he's getting, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Clank: You should not underestimate Chairman Drek. He is quite dangerous. We must find Captain Qwark!

Get offa me you idiot!
Ratchet: Oof!

Ratchet: Get offa me, you idiot!

Qwark: (laughs) I love it when a plan comes together!

Clank: What do you mean?

Ratchet: What do you think he means, genius? He's not gonna help us, he's gonna kill us!

Qwark: You catch on quick. Although there is one problem with your hypothesis- I'm not going to kill you.

Ratchet: You're not?

Qwark: No. He is!

Clank: But, why?

Qwark: But, why? It's really not that difficult to decipher! I'm the official spokesman for Drek's new planet. I can't have you two getting in the way of my comeback!

Ratchet: This isn't over, Qwark!

Qwark: No, but it will be soon.

Ratchet: Well right now the thing I wanna do is find Qwark!

Ratchet: How do you start this stupid thing?!

Qwark: Yes! No, well I- I had this plan and I thought-

Drek: You thought! You thought! I do the thinking around here, you slug brained idiot! I simply needed you to eliminate those two nuisances before they could cause any real trouble!

Qwark: But I wanted to-

Drek: Do you still want to be the highly paid spokesman for my planet?

Qwark: Yeah...

Drek: Then the next time I send you to do a job, I want results! Now get out of my sight!

At attention you deserting maggots!
Commando: At attention, you deserting maggots! The next time you soldiers try to go AWOL I'll shoot you myself!

Infobot - Orxon history
Drek (narrating): Hello once again fellow blarg, I hope this message finds you well! As many of you know, our home planet is no longer habitable.

Fortunately, the nearby planets will supply us with all we need to create our new home, which is nearing completion! Once our scientists locate the ideal orbit, our new world will be perfect! So reserve your space now, prime locations are filling up fast. Good day!

Ratchet: I'm a pretty good shot!

Plumber: You? No, I'm gonna lose my job.

Ratchet: Oh c'mon! What's the sense of keeping up a turret if no one's gonna use it? Besides, the blarg chased you off the last planet. Why don't we pay 'em back?

Ratchet: Jet fighter eh? Alright, but you better not try to stiff us!

...where's that fighter?
Ratchet: We're here, now where's that fighter?

Resort owner: Right there in that locked garage. One tourist crashes a jet and wham! Heheh... lawsuit!

Clank: That lock is unlike any I have seen.

Resort owner: Very astute observation, Mr. Shiny. I can't open it either. I don't trust the tourists, and the board of directors don't trust me, heh. So we have a little problem.

Infobot - Planetbuster plans
Drek: Hello again everyone, Supreme Executive Chairman Drek here to fill you in on our progress. We have now found the perfect orbit for our planet, one which will allow for the optimum temperature, all year round! However, there is a planet now occupying that orbit, and sadly for its few insignificant inhabitants, it must be destroyed. That's why we've created this — the Planetbuster Maximus, a device capable of blowing an entire planet into sub-atomic particles! We're quite proud of it! Here's how it works. We attach the Planetbuster to this ship, fly it into orbit around the planet, and let it go! Kaboom! Heheh, quite ingenious really. Once our trained professionals put the finishing touches on our new planet, everything will be complete! Thank you! Goodbye!

Drek: My fellow blarg, our synthetic world is now fully functional and ready for habitation. However, there is one small obstacle in our way - this pathetic lump of a planet.

On-screen: Veldin

Drek: Due to some blunder of fate, it happens to occupy the Galaxy's most perfect orbit. But no more! Behold, the Deplanetizer, the most powerful laser ever created! Soon we will move the Deplanetizer into place, just above the planet's surface. I will of course be on hand to press the button that will blow this mudball to smithereens! No one will even miss it! See you then!

Are you... alright?
Clank: Ratchet? Are you alright?

Ratchet: He, is going, to pay!

Clank: Excuse me?

Ratchet: It shouldn't have taken me this long to see it! Drek is going to find out what happens when you mess with my home!

Ratchet: What are you smiling at?

Clank: This is the Ratchet I always knew was there.

Ratchet: Okay, if we're gonna do this, we need to get onto Drek's ship. Then we can find out where he set up that laser!

Clank: I will try to make you proud, Mom.

Clank's mother (on-screen text): You already have

Ratchet: This is it Clank! Let's get him!

(After taking out a small portion of Drek's health.) Drek: Hmmm, you might have been useful for me after all. Too bad you chose the wrong side!

So it has come to this.
Drek: So, it has come to this. Once I step on this ignition switch, a countdown will commence, the end of which signals the destruction of your pitiful world.

Clank: There must be another way to make a home for your people.

Drek: You think that's what this is about? Who do you think polluted our last world? I did. This is about one thing and one thing only. Cash, and lots of it! You see, I've been paid for every square inch of my new world. Once the inhabitants move in, I will begin polluting this world as well, then the whole thing starts all over again. Ah, brilliant.

Clank: Uh, yes.

Finale
Ratchet: (yells)

Ratchet: That was close. Thanks!

Clank: My arm appears to be badly damaged.

Ratchet: Ah, you'll be all right.

Investigate crash site
That ship looked like it crashed near here! Find the site where it landed, and perhaps you can learn more about what happened.

Find a new ship
Thanks to your stellar piloting, you're stranded without a ship. Complicating matters is the fact that Tobruk Crater is being invaded by Drek's robot army. Yet with all of that military hardware, there's got to be a ship around somewhere...

Explore the waterworks
These waterworks are one of the things Drek plans to steal from this planet. You should search them thoroughly before they're ripped from the planet.

Buy Infobot from mechanic
(MAP: Buy Infobot for 500 bolts) Good job finding the mechanic. You should seriously consider buying the Infobot he has for sale. It will provide coordinates for a new planet.

Locate Skid McMarx
That distress signal indicated that Skid Mc Marx ejected from his doomed ship. If he's still alive, it would be probably be worth finding him. Maybe you could get an autograph...

Find Skid's agent
That chatty guy in the Infobot must have been Skid's agent. If he landed safely, you should track him down - agents always have useful information.

Help Skid get to his ship
(MAP: Eliminate sandsharks for Hoverboard) Destroy all of the sandsharks and sandshark nests in the canyon leading to Skid's ship. You may want to pick up a Pyrocitor for this - those sandsharks are nasty. Don't forget, there's a Hoverboard in it for you.

Use your Swingshot
The west side of the factory has Swingshot Versa-Targets everywhere. You should explore but you'll need a Swingshot first.

(Upon returning with Swingshot.)

The west side of the factory has swingshot targets everywhere. You'll need that swingshot of yours to explore.

Bring prize to agent
(MAP: Talk to agent after winning race) The agent mentioned that Hoverboard races are being help on Planet Rilgar. If you win the grand prize, you should bring it back to him as proof of your prowess. Perhaps he'll give you something useful in return. Better make sure you have a Hoverboard before you enter the race.

Explore the rest of the city
In a city this big, there must be something interesting you can find!

Visit Al's Roboshack
Captain Qwark starred in the commercial for Al's Roboshack. Maybe Al knows where he is.

Buy Heli-Pack from Al
(MAP: Buy Heli-Pack for 1,000 bolts) Al will sell you a Heli-Pack upgrade, which should improve Clank's abilities.

Explore the rest of the city
Al's got a storage area behind his shop. Perhaps it leads to another section of the city...

Ride the Robot Train
The train used to provide scenic tours of Metropolis but after the Blarg invaded, things changed. It's still worth taking a ride...

Complete fitness course
Finish Captain Qwark's fitness challenge and you may get a prize

Buy Swingshot from trainer
(MAP: Buy Swingshot for 1,000 bolts) The trainer is demanding money for the Swingshot. Buy it, you're sure to need it later.

Confront robot lieutenant
Track down Drek's right-hand robot. He's got to have some useful information.

Explore the mills
With all of these robots running around, there's probably some good hardware available...

Explore the space station
The Infobot for this station showed a lot of new hardware being crated. Perhaps if you look hard enough you'll find some.

Journey outside the airlock
There's no air outside the space station, so Clank's got to explore by himself.

Explore the Blarg warship
The Blarg shut down this warship after it was overrun with mutants from the labs. It's still fairly new so maybe they left something behind.

Destroy the warship
(MAP: Destroy the warship) Strike a blow against Drek and activate the ship's self-destruct sequence.

Buy Grindboots
(MAP: Buy Grindboots for 2,000 bolts) This is definitely a worthwhile purchase. Grindboots are rare but very useful.

Rilgar
(MAP: Buy R.Y.N.O. for 150,000 bolts)

Win the hoverboard race
(MAP: Race for Zoomerator) Captain Qwark is presenting the grand prize for the race. If you win the race, you've got proof that you're a pro!

Locate Captain Qwark
Since Captain Qwark is here for the races, it would be a good idea to track him down and ask for his help.

Bribe the bodyguard
(MAP: Bribe Bodyguard with 4,000 bolts) The bodyguard won't let you in unless you grease his palm with some bolts

Survive Qwark's gauntlet
Qwark may help you if you can get to the inner chambers of his fortress.

Destroy the Snagglebeast
(MAP: Exterminate the Snagglebeast) Qwark has betrayed you! The only way you're going to be able to track him down is to get past his pet Snagglebeast.

Find a new ship
Now you need to find a way off of this planet. Maybe Qwark has an extra ship in the garage attached to this cave...

Scout the area
If you can break away from the battles, it would be a good idea to explore the quieter areas of this world.

Meet the Commando at city
The Commando needs your help. Meet him at the platform before the city.

Ride the grind rail
These transport rails look like a great place to try out a pair of Grindboots.

Buy Deserter's Infobot
(MAP: Buy Infobot for 2,000 bolts) Even though this guy is a coward, the Infobot he has could be crucial to tracking down Drek.

Explore the walled city
To get to the walled city, you'll have to climb the ventilation shaft using a pair of Magneboots

Destroy the bombers
(MAP: Destroy the bombers) These guys need someone with good aim to operate the turret outside the city. Shoot well and you may be able to help stop the invasion. Talk to the Waterworker on the bluff outside of the city.

Find the Pilot's Helmet
That testing area you saw in the Infobot must be somewhere on this base...

Search the laboratories
Clank will have to take care of this one. The deserted Blarg laboratories are in the caves and probably contain some useful items.

Traverse the wilderness
Beyond the laboratories lies a hostile environment where Clank will need his Gadge-Bot buddies to survive.

Explore as Ratchet
There are some Blarg troopers stationed in the factory along with the mutated wildlife. If you can get through the hordes, you could find some useful tech that the Blarg left behind. Ratchet needs the O2 Mask for this.

Catch the Infobot
Catch this Infobot. But watch out, it's fast!

Buy the Premium Nanotech
(MAP: Buy Premium Nanotech for 4,000 bolts) Premium Nanotech will boost your overall health. It's definitely a worthwhile purchase.

(Buy Ultra Nanotech for 30,000 bolts)

Check out the resort
Looks like the Infobot for this planet was a little misleading. The Blarg ships dumping toxic waste have turned the seas into mutant breeding grounds. Since all of the tourists have been scared away, this would be a good time to do some exploring.

Navigate the sewers
Welcome to the Jowai Resort sewer system! It's certainly one of the cleaner systems on this planet. Maybe there's something down here that Ratchet can use.

Bring Raritanium to Inventor
(MAP: Trade Raritanium for Persuader) The Inventor needs some Raritanium. Maybe you can find some on another world.

Help the resort owner
(MAP: Help owner for O2 mask) The resort owner needs your help to get to his escape jet. Clear out the enemies along the path.

Buy Thrusterpack from Bob
(MAP: Buy Thruster-Pack for 2,000 bolts) If you're going to open the jet fighter garage, you should stop by Bob's Roboshack. Bob may have something to help you out.

Destroy the Blarg ships
(MAP: Destroy Blarg ships for O2 mask) Now that you've got the Thruster-Pack, you can open the Jet Plane garage and blow those Blarg out of the sky! And don't forget, if you succeed, you'll get an O2 Mask!

Explore the Icy Wastes
Before Drek's commandos arrived, the factories in this level were well-known for refining Raritanium. There must still be plenty of high-tech equipment around worth finding...

Destroy the Planetbuster
Drek's planetbuster bomb is about to be lifted off-planet. You've got to stop it or some unfortunate planet's gonna be blown to bits.

Buy Hydro-Pack from Ed
(MAP: Buy Hydro-Pack for 2,000 bolts) With this Hydro-Pack, Ratchet can travel more quickly underwater. Get it, you'll need it.

Explore base
Even though you missed Drek, this base may have a ship fast enough to catch up with him. You should look around.

Shoot down Captain Qwark
(MAP: Shoot down Captain Qwark) This is your big chance to exact revenge for what Qwark did to you. Find a ship and shoot him down!

Find survivors of the Blarg attack
Even though most of the city's residents have fled the Blarg attack on the planet, there are probably a few still left. They might have some information to help you stop Drek.

Search the destroyed city
It would be worthwhile to take a look around here. There may be some useful equipment left behind in the remains of the city.

Buy Infobot from scrap merchant
(MAP: Buy Infobot for 2,000 bolts) This Infobot may contain valuable information to help you stop Drek. And at half-price, how could you pass it up?

Purchase Gadgetron PDA from 'Steve'
(MAP: Buy Gadgetron PDA for 1,000 bolts) The Gadgetron PDA will let you purchase ammunition at any time. This would definitely be a big help when away from a Gadgetron vendor.

Find out more about the Ultra-Mech
The Ultra-Mech looks like a powerful piece of weaponry. There must be someone around who knows more about it.

Explore the coolant system
The factory's coolant systems are the very latest in Blarg technology. It would be a good idea to look around and see if they've left anything interesting in there.

Infiltrate the secure area
Clank escaped from the secure inner areas of this factory! If you could somehow sneak in, you could find out more information about Drek's whereabouts.

Destroy the Ultra-Mechs
(MAP: Destroy the Ultra-Mechs) Destroying these Ultra-Mechs would throw a wrench into Drek's plans. They're too big for Ratchet, but Giant Clank could take them out.

Find new equipment
There's got to be all sorts of great equipment here at Gadgetron Headquarters. That Hologuise you saw in the Infobot movie could be really useful. Someone at Gadgetron Headquarters must have one...

Get past the Blarg
Drek has sent his commandos after you. They've triggered the Gadgetron automated defenses and things have gone haywire. Find someone in charge to warn about the Blarg!

Ride the Grind Rail
You can use your Grind Boots to speed along Gadgetron's transportation system. But watch out for moving cars!

Win the Hoverboard race
(MAP: Race for Hologuise) Win the Hoverboard race and Ratchet could be Gadgetron's newest star. You might even get some Gadgetron equipment as a bonus.

Find the coordinates for Drek's laser
The location of the laser to destroy Ratchet's planet should be listed somewhere on Drek's ship. Get to the command ship and find out where it is so you can stop him in time.

Swim through the water tanker
This huge tanker is hauling water for Drek's new planet. There may be interesting technology inside, but you'll need to use your Hydro-Pack to get through something this big.

Save Ratchet's planet
Drek's laser is set up to destroy Ratchet's home planet! Destroy the laser and foil Drek's plans.
