Follow the Road to Kerchu City and Fight Your Way into the City are missions in Tools of Destruction, taking place in Kerchu City on Jasindu. Ratchet and Clank went looking for the Dimensionator, which was hidden in Kerchu City according to the IRIS Supercomputer, while at the same time fighting off an invasion by space pirates looking for the same device.
Walkthrough[]
"Follow the Road to Kerchu City" is completed as soon as you land and gain control of Ratchet after the cutscene showing the pirate invasion. Before proceeding with the next mission, head to the Aphelion and access the elevator behind it to enter an underground gelatonium facility and begin the mission "Search the Gel Facility". Once you conclude this mission, you will acquire the Box Basher 2000, which greatly facilitates the destruction of nearby crates.
Visit the weapons vendor and purchase the Razor Claws for 125,000 bolts. These powerful weapons deal high damage but have limited range, requiring skill and close proximity to enemies. If they are not affordable at this stage, "Soul Searching" and "Fight for Cash Prizes" are great sources of bolts.
Fight Your Way into the City[]
Follow the designated path through the area, eliminating any Cerullean swarmers you encounter along the way. Eventually, you will encounter two corsairs attacking a kerchu pyroguard. These enemies are tougher than before. Use weapons like the Shard Reaper, Buzz Blades, and Pyro Blaster against the corsairs, while the Alpha Disruptor and Negotiator are good against the pyroguard.
As you enter the open area behind the pyroguard, a large group of both hardy and regular buccaneers will approach. Simultaneously, be wary of a ship that drops off another group of hardy buccaneers closer to the entrance of the area (possibly behind you, if you advanced too far). Utilize the Negotiator's blast range to quickly dispatch the grouped up enemies, especially the shielded pirates. Additionally, the assistance of one or two Nano-Swarmers hives can prove beneficial. Before proceeding further, destroy the two raritanium chests located on your right and eliminate any remaining corsairs and hardy buccaneers blocking your path.
Inside the building around the corner, you will be ambushed by a swab, along with more buccaneers and corsairs. To access additional raritanium chests, pirates, another swab, and a gold bolt, climb the building by taking the left path leading upwards when exiting through the rear. Return to the building with the zipline and confront the three pirates near the ship, prioritizing the turret operator. Hop aboard the ship and stay alert as a few pirates will emerge onto the deck (note that the Pyro Blaster will have limited effectiveness while the ship is in motion). Continue until you reach Kerchu City itself, marking the start of the next mission, "Survive the Kerchu Onslaught".
