The Zoni Vessel is a key item in A Crack in Time. A small blue cylindrical device, it is designed to compress and store collected Zoni. The vessel’s primary purpose is to aggregate Zoni, as their collective power is significantly enhanced by their hivemind nature. Once gathered, the Zoni within the vessel can be used to upgrade the Aphelion.
Players are awarded the hidden bronze trophy "It Belongs in a Museum" upon retrieving the Zoni Vessel from the Temple of Zahn on planet Quantos.
History[]
The original Zoni Vessel was brought to this dimension by Orvus and entrusted to the fongoids.[1] To facilitate the capture of Orvus, Dr. Nefarious later constructed his own specialized version of the vessel at his base on Zanifar.
During the events of A Crack in Time, the fongoids granted Ratchet permission to enter the Temple of Zahn and retrieve the vessel during the mission "Search the Temple of Zahn".[1] Ratchet subsequently utilized the device to collect Zoni throughout his campaign against Nefarious, primarily to enhance the Aphelion. On Morklon, after Ratchet and Clank were exiled to the planet, the Zoni within the vessel intervened to save them from a fatal crash.[2]
