Defeat the mothership

Explore the moon is an optional mission in Going Commando taking place in Lunar City in the Damosel orbit. Using an Ultra-Mech Pad, Clank was able to transform into Giant Clank to explore the moon, where he fought the Mothership. After defeating it, him and Ratchet obtained the Mapper.

This mission can be replayed at any time, but offers no specific rewards for doing this.

Walkthrough
You control Giant Clank throughout the entire mission. Like the previous mission, the objectives are mostly the same; destroy the minions and buildings to recover health and ammo, while focusing on the boss, which is the Mothership. However, the strategy is different due to the different nature of the boss.

There are two stages to this mission. In the first stage, the Mothership is invulnerable, surrounded by a forcefield, until it lowers to the ground to deploy four of its robot minions at a time. The minions can deal melee damage, while the Mothership itself fires a laser cannon. The Mothership will only deploy robot minions when there are few already on the ground. This means that it is best to destroy the robot minions, using the bombs or melee attacks, while staying close enough to the Mothership to catch up with it when it descends and becomes vulnerable. As it does, walk towards it, firing the missiles, and hopefully land as many punches as possible as these deal by far the most damage to it. Make sure to destroy buildings to replenish health, and to destroy robot minions as soon as they are deployed.

The second stage begins when it loses two thirds of its health. At this point, it will move to a central position around a circle of bridges, generating electricity around it meaning it is unsafe to use melee attacks. It will fire green blasts at you, making it important to strafe around on the bridges to dodge, and also fire missiles. One effective way to kill it is to jump on it repeatedly, while still firing missiles. This will do the most damage, and destroy it fastest. During this time, it will occasionally let off blue explosions, though these can still be dodged by jumping at max range to avoid them before they explode.
