Tools of Destruction skill points

The Skill Point Locations for Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.

Smashing Good Time (10)
Destroy all crates.


 * Destroy every crate and consumer robot in the level. A number of official and unofficial sources state that you only need to destroy the crates and robots in the Spaceport area (where the Smuggler is) and inside the Gel plant only.

I Should Have Gone Down In A Barrel (10)
Go over both of the gel waterfalls in the gel factory.


 * This one is tricky. Sometimes the act of falling down into the gel doesn't register. Try all different manners of falling into the waterfalls, the Skill Point is awful finicky. The way that seems to work best is shooting a gel block onto the waterfall and then going down on that.

Giant Hunter (10)
Kill all 4 Basilisk leviathans in the Cobalia Wilderness.


 * Kill all the leviathans. One appears early in the level, and the other three are in the wilderness behind the spaceport.

Wrench Ninja 3 (10)
Use only the wrench to make it to the robo-wings segment.


 * It can be easier to navigate the first time through the level, but there will be less enemies in a return trip to the planet. You also don't have to kill any enemies for the Skill Point to register.

We Don't Need No Stinkin' Bridges (10)
Cross the tripad sequence using gel cube bounces.


 * There is a section in the level with a donut-shaped platform with three buttons. These buttons normally release a bridge, however to get the Skill Point you must avoid releasing the bridge, and instead jump over the gap with a large Gel cube.

Surface-to-air Plasma Beasts (10)
Take out 3 flying targets using the Plasma Beasts.


 * Kill three flying enemies with the Plasma Beasts.

Been Around (10)
Take-off from every robo-wing pad in Stratus City.


 * The map shows all eleven pads, simply fly to each one and take off without dying. This Skill Point also seems to have some trouble registering.

Collector's Addition (10)
Collect all 10 cargo containers.


 * There are ten triangular shaped containers throughout the level, destroy them all for the Skill Point.

Mine Sweeper (10)
Clear out 10-15 mines.


 * When the ship is piloted into the asteroid field, destroy as many mines as possible.

Whats That, R2? (10)
Barrel Roll 10 Times.


 * Just press L2 or R2 to barrel roll at least ten times during the level.

I Think I'm Going To Be Sick (10)
Ride the ferris wheel 5 times without taking damage.


 * Stay on the ferris wheel for five rotations without being hit.

Fast and Firey-ous (10)
Use the charge boots to cross the bridge to the arena without being burned.


 * There are several strategies to this one. First, the first and second flamethrowers' timing can be altered. It's easiest if both go off at the same time, play around with approaching the bridge to get this. Second, a good way to time everything is standing with the first flamethrower in front of you, then backflipping when it goes off and charging ahead as soon as you hit the ground.

One Heckuva Peep Hole (10)
After recieving the Geo-Laser, retake the path to the arena and blast the wall open.


 * Self-explanatory. After Clank receives the Geo-Laser, take the long route to the Arena, and blast a hole in the wall. The Geo-Laser section is near the second ammo vendor.

Alphabet City (10)
Teleport to each of the six asteroids in Alphabetical order. (Alpha → Beta → Gamma → Delta → Epsilon → Zeta)


 * Just go from each teleporter in the order listed above. Although this isn't realy alphabeticle order

Knock You Down to Size (10)
Hyper Strike on 5 Cerullean Centipedes.
 * Hyper-Strike (Jump then press square) 5 of the long centipedes that appear. There's at least one on each asteroid, so you should be covered.

Dancin With The Stars (10)
Make 5 enemies dance at once on an asteroid.
 * Find one asteroid where there is a group of enemies, Easiest to do in teleporter Gamma. Can also be done in Alpha. Go up to the 'second floor' on Alpha, the plataform on top of the Smuggler, etc. There are at least 5 enemies there.

Taste O' Yer Own Medicine (10)
Destroy all Corsairs with the Combuster.
 * Shoot all the pistol-wielding pirates with the Combuster in the level. A 'Corsair' is defined in this game as 'a pistol wielding pirate'.

Preemptive Strike (10)
Destroy 5 thwogs while they are still sleeping.
 * The best point to do this is when Clank opens the cave area with the Geo-Laser. Right as you walk in, equip a weapon with a large blast radius (Like the Fusion Grenade/Bomb), and throw it at the ceiling where the thwogs are sleeping. Another technique is to use the Predator Launcher. Stand far away enough so as to not wake the thwogs up, then take your time picking 5 of them out; this can be done at a number of points in the cave.

It's a Mutanty Cap'n! (10)
Change 5 pirates into penguins in one shot.
 * Before the first mini-boss of the level, there is a group of pirates that you can use the Transmorpher on quite effectively.

You Sunk My Battleship! (10)
Shoot down at least 75% of the gargoships.
 * The ships that are mentioned are actually the large battleships with the glowing white balls on the sides. Shoot the balls to destroy each ship, destroy at least three-quarters of them to get the point.

Pretty lights (10)
Complete the level without destroying any of the snatchers.
 * The snatchers are the ships that shoot steady energy beams at your ship.

I've Got Places to Be (10)
Kill the boss in less than 2:30.
 * Just shoot the boss quickly and dodge his attacks. It is easier to do this on normal mode, as in challenge mode his health doesn't deplete as quickly. Aiming at the nose of his vessel while moving your ship in circles is the easiest way to accomplish this.

The Consumer Is Not (Always) Right (10)
Destroy 18 consumer bots in the area near your ship.
 * Just smack all the 'civilian' bots in the area near your ship. Any weapon can be used to accomplish this.

Live Strong (10)
Complete the Gyro-Cycle area in under 1:45 without dying.
 * Speed's the name of the game here, just go as fast as you can. You'll likely take damage, but if your health is high enough, you shouldn't die during this. If you do, the Gyro-Cycle area isn't very long, so just complete it, restart and try again.

Untouchable (10)
Don't take damage while driving the Gyro-Cycle.
 * Rather self-explanatory.

It Sounded Like A Freight Train (10)
Get 11 anthropods in one tornado.
 * Send the Tornado Launcher at a group of the small bug-like enemies. There are a lot of groups of these enemies.

Head Examine (10)
Land on the head of all 5 Troglosaurs in Sargasso.
 * The Troglosaurs are the very large dinosaurs with the steps on their tails. Just jump onto their backs, then glide to their heads when they stop moving.

Extinction (10)
Kill all the Sargasso Grunthers.
 * The Grunthers are the T-Rex looking enemies with the Leviathan Souls. Just eliminate them all.

Lombaxes Don't Like Cold (10)
Break all the breakable icicles.
 * Multiple users gave me info for this one. The general consenus was to get the box breaker, then to hyper-strike (Jump then press square) throughout the level.

for ease complete the level so no enemies

Mow Down Hoedown (10)
Use turrets to destroy 10 dancing pirates.
 * My strategy would be to walk near each of the turrets, then throw out a Groovitron before quickly getting in said turret. Then eliminate the pirates. You don't need to have all 10 dancing at one time, just have each enemy dancing before shooting them.

Saucy Wrench (10)
Destroy all 4 campfire Cauldrens with the wrench.
 * Just smack all of the campfire pots with the wrench.

Dancin' On The Ceiling (10)
Successfully use a Groovitron while on a gravityramp.
 * Throw out a Groovitron while on a grav-ramp. There's a correction here. The Groovitron DOES need to get at least one enemy to dance for the point to register.

Seared Ahi (10)
Use the Pyro Blaster on 3 Drophyd Creatures after freeing them from their robotic suits.
 * The Drophyds are the fishy looking enemies that come out of the suit upon destruction. Use the Pyro Blaster on three of them, and you'll get the point.

Expert Marksman (10)
Kill 75% of all the enemies.
 * The best thing I can say right now is to practice this level a lot! I was just shooting everything in sight.

Can't Touch This (10)
Avoid making contact with anything before fighting the boss. EXTRA HINT: There is a glitch in the PAL version at least. Let the boss kill you. You'll respawn, as if the whole level except the boss never happened.
 * Don't get hit until you face the boss.

Pyew Pyew! (10)
Complete the level without secondary fire.
 * Don't use the rockets during the entire level.

Dead Aim (10)
Destroy 3 destructible towers while on the pirate barges.
 * Two different users gave me info. One used the RYNO IV and just shot everything that wasn't on the pirate barge.  The other used the Judicator. The other way to get the skill point is to fire the Buzz Blades at the door until they have destroyed all the towers

Fire with fire (10)
Kill 2 Kerchu Pyroguards with the Pyro Blaster.
 * The pyroguards are the large enemies with the flamethrower. Strafe around each enemy to avoid their attacks while lighting them on fire.

Six Gun Salute (10)
Get six pirates in a row to salute to Ratchet while in the pirate disguise.
 * You need to get six pirates to salute Ratchet, but it doesn't have to be six DIFFERENT pirates. Just find two pirates, and press circle three times to get them to salute.

Gotta Catch Them All (10)
Hit all cragmite soldiers with the Mag-Net Launcher.
 * There is an easier way to do this. Beat the level once, then come back before completing the game.  Go up the elevator behind Ratchet's ship, and cross the platforms. There should be a lone cragmite enemy.  Kill him using the Mag-Net Launcher.  Easy as that.

Stay Still So I Can Shoot You! (10)
Use strafe flip 10 times while fighting cragmite soldiers.
 * Just strafe flip 10 times (Strafe to one side then jump).

Now Boarding... (10)
Complete the Gyro Cycle area in 0:55 seconds.
 * Just like the Rykan V skill point, speed is the name of the game. Don't worry about taking damage; you'll just start from the beginning of the Gyro-Cycle area.

Low Flying Owls (10)
'''Fly underneath an electrified barrier in the robo wing segment.
 * Find an electrified barrier and fly below it.

Nowhere To Hide (10)
Destroy every piece of breakable cover.
 * I highly suggest shooting EVERYTHING in the level, and I mean EVERYTHING! Be sure to have a lot of ammo here; you'll run out fast if you're not careful.

All you need to do is break all the concrete looking barricades throughout the level. A few hits with a thrown wrench should do it. It's best to try this after you have made it to the boss fight so there are no bad guys to contend with. Note you will know the barricade is destroyed when it drops some bolts.

 * Buy the Golden Groovitron and play through the game once or twice while using as much as possible and you should get it.

Chorus Line (10)
Get 11 enemies to dance together at the same time.
 * I used the large area when you first enter Rykan V with Cronk and Zephyr. I found a group of enemies

Happy Feat (10)
Get 9 penguins to dance at the same time.
 * Use the Transmorpher on a large group of enemies, then use the Groovitron on the group. I chose to use the same area I used for the Chorus Line skill point.

Disco Inferno (10)
Use the Groovitron followed by the Pyro Blaster.
 * Easy enough, just throw out a Groovitron then use the Pyro Blaster.

 * Just collect 20 leviathan souls and sell them to the Smuggler.

It's Like The South Pole Here (10)
Turn 15 enemies and/or citizens into penguins at the same time.
 * You DON'T need to do it with one transmorpher ball - you can use as many as you need - you just need to have 15 penguins at the same time (they turn back into originals after a few seconds as you probably know). I did it on Saragasso with all those little guys that pop out of the ground.

Say Hello To My Little Friend (10)
Kill 15 enemies with one RYNO IV shot.
