Help Skid get to his ship

Locate Skid McMarx and Help Skid get to his ship were missions in Ratchet & Clank. Ratchet and Clank found co-ordinates to planet Aridia after buying an Infobot from a mechanic, in which they saw Skid McMarx and Skid's agent being under attack and crash landing. Upon landing they found Skid and his escape pod nearby, promptly completing the mission "Locate Skid McMarx", who then asked them to escort him to his ship as he was unable to due to the sandsharks and a "sprained ankle". In return, he would give them a Z3000 Deluxe Hoverboard.

Walkthrough
The Pyrocitor is recommended if it has not been purchased yet, as the sandsharks dwell underground until you come near, making the Blaster less useful. The Bomb Glove can also be used, but is not very friendly when it comes to fire rate and ammunition cost. The OmniWrench is mainly a last resort, because although functional, it is too easy to become surrounded. There are at least 56 sandsharks and seven spawners, enemies that will create more, up to a set limit, while always surrounded by sandsharks. Sandsharks, as mentioned, dwell underground and will swarm you when you get too close, while any nearby spawner will try and replenish their fallen numbers.

The first batch of sandsharks is located close to Skid, across the tiny mudpool, after which the area splits into two, each direction will shortly after split again, with the outer left and right paths leading to a dead end (Skid's ship being on the left) and the inner right and left paths re-merging to form a loop. The first two spawners are located on both of the split paths, with a third being located at the dead end on the right, and the fourth and fifth on the dead end on the left (at aforementioned Skid's ship). The final two are on top of the rock formation in the center of the loop.

And upon approaching the spot where the two split paths merge together, you will be ambushed by a fairly large number of sandsharks that drop in from above. After fending them off, climb up the steps and take care of the last two spawners and any remaining sandsharks before heading over to Skid's ship to complete the mission.
