Destroy the Snagglebeast

Destroy the Snagglebeast was a mission in Ratchet & Clank. After stepping into the Ring of Heroes, Qwark betrays Ratchet and Clank, throwing them together into a pit with a Blargian snagglebeast. After its defeat, completing the mission "Destroy the Snagglebeast", they were stuck inside the cavern, starting the follow-up mission Find a new ship. They managed to find both a new ship, Qwark's tour shuttle, and an Infobot with coordinates to planet Batalia.

Walkthrough
The snagglebeast is powerful, but predictable and its attacks are easy to avoid. Its primary choice of offense is to send fiery shockwaves along the floor, which can be easily jumped over. When too close he can shoot fireballs from his palms, simply move away to avoid these. Thirdly he can shoot a laser if you are too far, said laser is harmless, but draws a line along the ground that erupts into flames. Out of all available weapons, the Blaster and Glove of Doom are the most useful, with the Mine Glove and Bomb Glove being useful in case you run out of ammunition, though there are plenty of ammo crates in the area.

Once one-sixth of its hit points, one part of its health bar, has been removed it will create an impenetrable barrier around it and proceed to follow you directly, meanwhile shooting fireballs. Lure it across one of three bridges, causing it to break and dumping the snagglebeast into the lava. This removes its shielding, dealing enough damage to remove another part of its health bar. The destroyed bridges leave platforms that you can still use to move around. Repeat this twice more, though be careful of an additional ability in the final part of the bossfight, as it will create a gust of wind, removing all your ammo and scattering it in the area behind you.

Once defeated, completing the mission "Destroy the Snagglebeast" you immediately flow into the "Find a new ship" mission, which is easily completed by finding the only exit in the area.
