Walkthrough[]
The mission begins by talking to the Sous Chef in the Honey Road, on the northeast end of the mining hub. Afterwards, follow the linear path down, defeating toxic crabs, on the way to the waypoint marker, and Chef Tulio will contact Clank asking the two to travel to the Crystal Ridge, located further in the northeast end.
Crystal Ridge is located within the wasp caverns. Goons-4-Less are briefly seen shooting at the wasps to scare them out. Defeat the Goons with weapons such as the Ricochet or Negatron Collider, then progress further inside to reach a chasm. To cross it, hit the blizon crystal and cross the mag surface path to hit the blizon crystal on the other side, returning to the intact dimension, where Chef Tulio will contact Clank again and mention quarry jumpers can be used to climb further. Head behind the crystal (south on the map) to use the spring and wall jump to climb to the top, where Rivet will find Chef Tulio.
After talking to Chef Tulio, she will ask Rivet to defend her device, the VAC-U-SUK, from wildlife attacks, which come in the form of lava puffoids, toxic crabs, and later wasps. Use the hammercrank to warm up the VAC-U-SUK, then defend it from attacks on the left or right. There are two traps activated either side of the VAC-U-SUK activated by a button, and using a Rift Tether towards them will allow them to be activated and instantly kill the puffoids nearby. However, the traps are on a cooldown, meaning that enemies will still need to be defeated in the meantime.
Frequently return to the cliff overlooking the VAC-U-SUK to spot enemies, and use the Rift Tether between the two buttons often. The Topiary Sprinkler is helpful in slowing enemies down if they get past the traps. When wasps attack, they are unaffected by the traps; activate the traps and stop the ground enemies first, while focusing on the wasps with weapons such as the Ricochet. In the final wave, Goons-4-Less also attack, using jetpacks and hoverbikes. Focus on defeating the wildlife first to stop them attacking the VAK-U-SUK, then defeat the Goons with ranged weapons.
After all enemies are defeated and the VAC-U-SUK is secured, a spybot is obtained, and a securi-taxi can be taken back to the mining hub.
