Search the Gel Facility is a mission in Tools of Destruction, taking place in an underground gelatonium facility on Jasindu. Ratchet and Clank had the option to explore a gelatonium facility after landing near Kerchu City.

Walkthrough[]

To access the underground facility, use the elevator platform adjacent to the landing pad of the Aphelion. Remember to fill the Gelanator at the receptacle pump to traverse through the gate, granting entry into a spacious cavern. At this stage, the Cerullean swarmers and kerchu pyroguard present minimal threat. Exploit the Gelanator's cubes to reach raritanium chests and crates that are beyond your immediate reach. Progress across the pool and proceed to the subsequent gate, which opens upon stepping on a pressure pad. Exercise caution and strategically place a cube on the pad before proceeding through the gate.

This particular pathway follows a straightforward trajectory and introduces a limited number of new mechanics. The tumfoids will attempt to consume your gel cubes, but you can temporarily immobilize them by encasing them in a cube, stun them with a swift strike from the OmniWrench, or divert their attention with a decoy cube. In the next room, there is a time-limited electric fence that destroys your cubes. Hence, it is crucial to quickly place and stack them before using a cube as a means to reach the ledge above. Additionally, throughout this section, you will need to employ bolt cranks repeatedly to open various gates.

Continue navigating through different rooms containing gel pools, locked gates, tumfoids, swarmers, and a faster electric fence (which can be disregarded). You will also encounter another pyroguard, safeguarding a bolt crank, and a wall-jump segment. Progress until you reach another pressure pad. Deactivate the tumfoids and activate the pad to pass through the gate, obtaining the Box Basher 2000. This item automatically breaks any destructible objects (crates, chests, random breakables) in your vicinity when executing a Hyper Strike.

Empty the Gelanator into the nearby receptacle and employ the teleporter to return to the surface. Continue with the "Fight Your Way into the City" mission if not already completed; otherwise, proceed to the Ublik Passage for "Infiltrate Slag's Fleet".
