Get to the Space Station, Make a Trade with the Smuggler, and Sell Your Souls are missions in Tools of Destruction, taking place in the Nundac Asteroid Ring surrounding the Apogee Space Station. Ratchet and Clank learned from an infobot recording leaked by Captain Qwark that Emperor Tachyon believed the Lombax Secret might be hidden on the station, and decided to set out to find it before him.

Walkthrough[]

After landing and taking a few steps, a cutscene will trigger where you reunite with the Smuggler. This will start the mission "Make a Trade with the Smuggler," wherein you are required to trade at least three leviathan souls with him in exchange for the launch codes to the shuttle that will take you to the station. You can also engage in dialogue with him to learn more about the history of the lombaxes.

To the left of the Smuggler, there is a weapons vendor, although there are no new items available for purchase. If you haven't already acquired the Tornado Launcher, you can buy it now; it is somewhat effective inside the station, but less effective in the asteroids surrounding it. Among the various raritanium ugrades, the Predator Launcher will be the most beneficial in this location.

Traversing the asteroids around the station has a unique mechanic. Each asteroid is equipped with a teleport cannon, labeled Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta. Each asteroid area features at least one miniboss, the Basilisk leviathan, and sometimes two, totaling eight leviathans. You will also encounter common enemies like Cerullean swarmers and Cerullean centipedes. These enemies are relatively easy to defeat with any weapon, but the leviathans may fly too far to be effectively targeted by close or medium-range weapons. The Predator Launcher is the best choice as it can hit up to four points on a leviathan. The Shard Reaper is a viable alternative, and if you have already upgraded it, the Magma Combustor can also be effective (though using it means missing out on experience points).

As you explore, you can collect raritanium from small crystals on the ground. If needed, you can visit additional vendors for weapons and devices on the Delta asteroids. One of the Delta asteroids also hides a holo-plan piece. In the Epsilon asteroids, you'll come across a Gelanator receptacle that allows you to reach a raritanium chest.

Once you have gathered at least three leviathan souls, return to the Smuggler to trade them for the launch codes, completing the trade mission and enabling you to proceed directly to the "Navigate the Gravity Cube" mission (the conclusion of which also includes the "Get to the Space Station" mission). Before heading to the station, you have the option to sell your additional five souls to the Smuggler for 4,000 bolts each, which concludes the "Sell Your Souls" mission. It is worth noting that you can choose to keep the souls for later when their value increases.
