The Decryptor is a gadget in Tools of Destruction. It is a hacking device that allows the user to move an electric spark pass through a circuit gate, and unlock the security device it was used on. This is used to deactivate energy shields or open doors. The electric spark automatically follows the available circuit paths, must has to be moved from one path to another through a bridge connected, which is guided by the player either using the SIXAXIS wireless controller's tilt function or the analog stick.

The Decryptor was a favored gadget amongst thieves, criminals, and hackers. It was also capable of playing MP3s, snapping pictures, and doing homework during the users' sleep.[1] The Smuggler granted it to Ratchet and Clank during "Trade Souls for the Decryptor" in Outpost L51 on Sargasso. He traded it for three leviathan souls, seeing an opportunity to obtain souls from them after the Robo-Wings launch pad was not active.[2] It was then used to hack devices during missions on Sargasso, Viceron, Igliak, and Fastoon.

In challenge mode, the Decryptor puzzles are harder than in the first playthrough.
