[top]Roadmap


  1. Beat the game on Hard
  2. Go back in time and collect everything (including the RYNO V) then defeat Vorselon and visit the Museum
  3. Enter Challenge Mode (and collect anything that you might have missed)


[top]RYNO V Locations

While it's not necessary, it is VERY helpful in Challenge Mode or if you get it in Hard. And again, the map you earn from beating the 4th Raritanium Tournament Challenge will show the locations.

By Sector:
  • Phylax Sector: 1 - Vorselon's Ship
  • Vela Sector: 2 - Monolith Fields and Axiom City
  • Korthos Sector: 4 - Krell Canyon, Tombli Outpost, and Agorian Battleplex (2)
  • Bernilius Sector: 2 - Valkyrie Citadel and Nefarious Space Station (2nd Visit)
  • Corvus Sector: 1 - Gimlick Valley

Now once you have it go to Axiom City Spaceport where the Smuggler will create it for you.

This link will give a description on where to go.


[top]Trophies

[top]
The Lombax Triumphant
Collect all trophies in the game.


Collect every other trophy in the game, and this one will be yours as well.

[top]
It Belongs in a Museum
Retrieve Chief Zahn's Zoni Vessel.


Story based and impossible to miss. All you have to do is catch the 3 Zoni on the first planet and the trophy will pop up.

[top]
Rude Awakening
Complete Great Clock, Sector One


Story based and the first trophy you will get. After getting the tutorial with Clank you will attempt and fail from escaping from Nefarious.

[top]
Junior Caretaker
Defeat the Hypersonic Brainware Scrambler


Story based and will be obtained the 2nd time you become Clank. Some tips against him is to hit him throw a time bomb over him so he'll slow down and make sure you avoid his blasts as you don't have much health. Very easy fight.

[top]
Senior Caretaker
Repair temporal damage caused by Dr. Nefarious


Story based and will be acquired after the 3rd time you become Clank. This will unlock after you fix the 3rd planet which would be Terachnos.

[top]
Time Keeper
Unlock the Orvus Chamber


Story based and will be acquired the 4th time that you are Clank. After doing a few puzzles (which you can skip if you want) you will reach a platform where you will enter the chamber and will receive the trophy.

[top]
88 MPH
Defeat General Azimuth and save the universe

Story based and General Azimuth is the very last boss in the game. I would say he's the 2nd hardest boss next to Vorselon so here are a few tips:

  • Keep a Mr. Zurkon up at all times
  • Move around a lot and strafe so you won't get hit
  • Use Groovitrons to stun him and fire away
  • If you have the RYNO V then use it

[top]
Leave no Lombax Behind
Save General Azimuth from Lord Vorselon's clutches


Story based and will be acquired the 2nd time that you are on Vorselon's ship. You're going to have to fight Vorselon again though but luckily he is pretty much using the same attacks he used the first time you fought him so it shouldn't be too hard. Just do what you did before and once you escape the ship the trophy is yours.

[top]
The General's Pupil
Master the hoverboots


Story based and will be acquired after you meet Azimuth at which point he will make you do a few training trials around a course. Once you complete these the trophy will appear.

[top]
Savior of Axiom City
Destroy the VX-99


Story based and will be acquired after you beat the boss on Axiom City. Now at first you will just try to distract him so just dodge his lasers when he fires and wait until you get the opportunity to jump on him.

Once you jump on him you will have to take out 3 bolts while laser beams are chasing you. Just jump around and avoid them and take them out one by one to get to the head.

Now once you get to the head you will have to take out the glass dome around him so you can finally take him out. Have a Mr. Zurkon out to help and so you can focus more on avoiding the lasers. Once you get the glass off, he will be weakened at which point you can just fire away and take him out.

[top]
Apogee Explorer
Find the Obsidian Eye


Story based and found in Krell Canyon. When on the level you will have to go through killing 5 Agorian Riders, 2 Hydra Tanks, and taking out 40 planes on a turret. Once that's through you will go explore some caves which will eventually lead you to the Zoni Temple where you will receive the eye and the trophy.

[top]
Paradox Hero
Confront Dr. Nefarious in the past


Story based and acquired on the Tombli Outpost. Once you take down the Grid you will go back and time where you have to plant 3 seeds in soil. Go back to the present to ride a few vines and acquire oil for the Omnisoaker. Now go back in the past and use the oil on the crank. After this is done you will lower a bridge with a cutscene and trophy soon to follow.

[top]
Somebody Called for Backup?
Stop the Agorians from destroying Gimlick Valley

Story based and of course in Gimlick Valley. You will go back in time where you have to fight a shitload of enemies and a few Hydra Tanks to save the Chief of the village. Take them out the same way that you have had to before.

Once that's over you have to go around to plant some seeds again at which point you go back to the present to ride the vines back into the past. A boss battle will occur and this one can be a bit tricky as he can regenerate health in this which needs to be stopped immediately. A few tips:

  • Most weapons are ineffective against him so I would recommend sticking to the Buzz Blades
  • Have a Mr. Zurkon out with you
  • If an orange shield goes up, he is regenerating health which should be stopped ASAP by using the tether by pressing and

Do this 3 times and he will be done and the trophy is yours.

[top]
Just Like Old Times
Reunite with Clank


Story based and unlocked at the Citadel. The whole point of this is to track down a boss where you have to get past some "situations" until you can reach her. Once you get to her a fight will ensue. A few tips:

  • Be ready to use your Swingshot to avoid being hit
  • Use a Groovitron to stun her when you can
  • When other enemies appear bring out a Mr. Zurkon so he can take them out so you can focus on the fight
  • Doom Blades and the Constructo Shotgun and Pistol work well

[top]
Party Crasher
Destroy Dr. Nefarious' armada


Story based trophy. You will appear to be Nefarious at which point you can give orders or even kill off some enemies if you wish. Either way your objective is to get to the laser and destroy the ships that you order out by calling Lawrence. After you shoot the ships the trophy will unlock.

[top]
Revenge of the Squishy
Defeat Dr. Nefarious


Story based trophy. During the fight you will need to avoid him while firing back. At some points he will order Lawrence to "turn the heat up" which will require you to use your hoverboots to avoid the heat and wait to attack Nefarious again. Don't worry about dying because after every new sequence you will get a checkpoint. A few tips:

  • Short range or ground weapons don't work so stick to things like the Buzz Blades, Pistol, or Negotiator, etc.
  • Use Groovitrons to stun him and begin to unload
  • When you get on the ship that Lawrence is controlling make sure you avoid the rays while still firing away
  • STRAFE

[top]
Insomniac
Visit the Insomniac Museum


After you defeat Vorselon when you go back in time, it will tell you to visit this Museum where it will teleport you right in front of it. So once you enter the planet and walk around a bit the trophy will be yours.

[top]
My Blaster Runs Really, Really Hot
Score 10,000 points on My Blaster Runs Hot

Quite possibly the most annoying and hardest trophy you will find in this game. My Blaster Runs Hot is an arcade game that you are able to play in the Agorian Battleplex. The object of the game is to just run around shooting down aliens and saving civilians. There's not much I can say for this but I can give you some tips:

  • Try to save civilians as much as possible as they are worth 100 points plus on a rare occasion they will drop a powerup or extra life
  • Staying alive is more important than killing the aliens
  • On the 1st Wave, if you go up to the wall where the enemies come out of and just hold down the shoot button and run around at that wall, you will gain a massive combo and can easily earn 1500 points
  • When the mines start to come out, shoot at a safe distance and try to get some enemies around them as you can get some good combos in there

Now this trophy may seem hard at first, but after you keep trying it will become a lot easier to rack up more points and combos. Took me about an hour to get and that was after I got 9990 points once. So just keep trying and follow those tips and you will get it if you just keep going at it.

[top]
Q-Force Cadet
Complete the game on Casual

Recommended you play this on Hard as the trophies will stack. See Q-Force Champion for tips.

[top]
Bronze Champion
Win the Bronze Tournament


You will unlock the tournaments once you complete the Korthos Sector. You will go to the Agorian Battleplex where you can do the first three tournaments immediately.

Now you shouldn't have any trouble with this tournament as none of them are hard and if they seem hard to you just wait until after you beat the game on Hard, go back in time, change the difficulty to Casual and you will have all your weapons maxed out anyway.

NOTE: This goes for ALL tournaments, if you find yourself having trouble with them in your first playthrough, then wait until challenge mode where you get the Omega guns and you can max out the stats for each weapon. Will make your life much easier for the Gold and Raritanium Tournaments.

[top]
Silver Champion
Win the Silver Tournament


The 3rd and 5th challenges may give you a little trouble but again, none of these are extremely challenging. And if they are challenging to you, just beat the game on Hard, go back in time, change difficulty to Casual, and beat it with your maxed out weapons.

NOTE: This goes for ALL tournaments, if you find yourself having trouble with them in your first playthrough, then wait until challenge mode where you get the Omega guns and you can max out the stats for each weapon. Will make your life much easier for the Gold and Raritanium Tournaments.

[top]
Gold Champion
Win the Gold Tournament


I would recommend for this tournament waiting until you are farther in the game or after you have beaten it so your weapons are a lot better.

Untouchable, Endangered Species, and Double Jeopardy may give you some trouble.

For Untouchable: Have a Mr. Zurkon out at all times, try using a Groovinater as much as possible, Strafe like a motherfucker, and watch out for the Agorians who will throw things at you.

For Endangered Species: Keep moving around from side to side and watch out for flying objects. Once the enemies spawn in the middle start using a Groovinater and Zurkon or Rift Inducer to take care of all of them so you can focus on the outside enemies chucking objects at you.

Double Jeopardy: It's not very hard if you have good weapons which is why I suggest waiting until you are farther in the game or even after you beat it. Since you've faced these bosses before, you should know what takes them out faster and what is more effective. I would recommend the Doom Blades as they give out a lot of damage at a fast rate.

NOTE: This goes for ALL tournaments, if you find yourself having trouble with them in your first playthrough, then wait until challenge mode where you get the Omega guns and you can max out the stats for each weapon. Will make your life much easier for the Gold and Raritanium Tournaments.

[top]
Raritanium Champion
Win the Raritanium Tournament


You will unlock this tournament near the end of the game around the 4th Sector. This tournament can be very challenging and I would try to have all the guns necessary for this maxed out. Ones that may give you trouble:

Fire Proof: What I would do is just not stray too far from the barrier. Just hold a line at the first pair of ammo crates so it won't be easy for them to get past you. Now I would wait to do this challenge until you have all the constructo mods for the shotgun so you know which ones will be most effective.

Toxic Engagement: Not as hard as it looks, just get hits in as often as you can but when he's about to swing at you jump back or to the sides to dodge it.

Battery Bots on the Battlefield: Keep killing things until a new bot spawns which is about every new wave. Pull out a groovinater and Zurkon to slow down the enemies so you can look for the bot and put it in a socket.

Overkill: The first 10 waves are pretty easy, 11-15 are doable, but 16-20 will probably give you some trouble. More enemies will start to spawn on you but it's honestly nothing you haven't handled before. Just have out Mr. Zurkon at all times possible and use that Groovinater as much as you can.

NOTE: This goes for ALL tournaments, if you find yourself having trouble with them in your first playthrough, then wait until challenge mode where you get the Omega guns and you can max out the stats for each weapon. Will make your life much easier for the Gold and Raritanium Tournaments.

[top]
Fastoon Warrior
Upgrade one weapon to level 5


Very easy trophy. Just find a gun that you like and keep using it until it gets to Level 5. It will happen faster than you think. Will get this at least by the 3rd Sector if not sooner.

[top]
For a Rainy Day
Collect 10,000 bolts

See Thrifty.

Greed is Good
Collect 50,000 bolts

See Thrifty.

Q-Force Hero
Complete the game on Medium

Recommended you play this on Hard as the trophies will stack. See Q-Force Champion for tips.

Zoni Collector
Rescue all Zoni


NOTE: I will say this for all collecting trophies but after the 4th Challenge in the Raritanium Tournament, you will win a Treasure Map that will show you where every Zoni, Gold Bolt, Constructo Mod, and RYNO V schematic is.

Once you spot a Zoni just chase it until it stops in which point hit it with your Wrench to catch it. It is very easy as they aren't in some hidden area like the Gold Bolts or Constructo Mods. I will break this down into Sectors of where all 40 Zoni are:

  • Phylax Sector: 6
  • Vela Sector: 10
  • Korthos Sector: 14
  • Bernilius Sector: 7
  • Corvus Sector: 3

Bolt Collector
Collect all gold bolts

NOTE: I will say this for all collecting trophies but after the 4th Challenge in the Raritanium Tournament, you will win a Treasure Map that will show you where every Zoni, Gold Bolt, Constructo Mod, and RYNO V schematic is.

40 Gold Bolts to get, recommended that you wait until after you go back in time as you will then have all the necessary requirements to get them all. Also, for one of the gold bolts in Great Clock Sectors 2, 3, and 4, you have to go back into his memory to do a challenge puzzle to get them. There will be a video for each one in the spoiler under it. I will break this down by each sector:

  • Phylax Sector: 6
  • Vela Sector: 9
  • Korthos Sector: 9
  • Bernilius Sector: 5
  • Corvus Sector: 3
  • Great Clock Sector 1: 1
  • Great Clock Sector 2: 2

The Gunsmith
Collect all Constructo modifications


NOTE: I will say this for all collecting trophies but after the 4th Challenge in the Raritanium Tournament, you will win a Treasure Map that will show you where every Zoni, Gold Bolt, Constructo Mod, and RYNO V schematic is.

There are 21 Constructo Mods to collect and they aren't too badly hidden but they can be easy to miss. By sector:

  • Phylax Sector: 2
  • Vela Sector: 4
  • Korthos Sector: 10
  • Bernilius Sector: 4
  • Corvus Sector: 1

The Samaritan
Complete all space missions


Space missions are the missions where when you are flying around in space, they will appear as a yellow triangle or as a Green Square usually indicating the Depot of the sector. If you are unsure of what missions you need to complete to get this trophy, then check this link here.

[top]
Retirement Fund
Collect 250,000 bolts

See Thrifty.

[top]
Terraklon Assassin
Vanquish Lord Vorselon


Probably the hardest boss in the game to most people. The only way you can get this trophy is after you beat the game, go back in time and collect all the Zoni (I would recommend collecting everything else or at least the RYNO V), at which point his ship will appear in the Corvus Sector and you can go fight him. Now since he is so hard there is a trick you can do where since you beat the game already, just change the difficulty to Casual as it has no outcome on this trophy. A few tips:

  • Mr. Zurkon and Groovitron at all times to distract him
  • Strafe and move around
  • USE THE RYNO V IF YOU HAVE IT
  • If he turns invisible run around until you have the option to use the tether ( and ) to pull it out so he will become visible quicker.

[top]
Preferred Customer
Purchase all GrummelNet weapons


You will in this as you progress though the as each new weapon is unlocked. Just use the bolts that you have to buy a weapon when you get a chance. You will easily get this before you beat the game.

NOTE: This does not include the RYNO V or Chimp-O-Matic

[top]
Thrifty
Collect 1,000,000 bolts


This is a very easy gold to get. I say that because you will naturally get this throughout the game. Doing all 4 of the tournaments alone will get you halfway there and just as long as you keep up your combos without getting hit you will be racking up a ton of Bolts.

NOTE: This is accumulative so you don't have to have 1,000,000 in your possession at once.

[top]
Q-Force Champion
Complete the game on Hard


Hard isn't very challenging in fact if you've played a Ratchet and Clank game before. Even if you're new to it, it shouldn't give you too much trouble. Some tips to get through it quicker:

  • Strafing is your friend
  • Even if you've upgraded a gun to level 5, if it's good use it
  • Keep a Mr. Zurkon at your side for every important fight

[top]
Glutton for Punishment
Complete a Challenge Mode playthrough

Challenge Mode is just pretty much New Game + as you get to keep all your weapons and you stay on whatever difficulty that you beat the game on. However, there is a trick that you can do where you can beat the game on Hard but end up playing Challenge Mode on Casual.

When you beat the game, go back in time and just collect everything and get the other trophies out of the way. Now while you are doing the collecting, you should have the Q-Force Champion trophy, so now all you have to do is back in time is go to change difficulty and change it to Casual. This way you already have the trophy and when you go back and beat the game again, it will be MUCH easier, even fighting against Lord Vorselon or doing the Tournaments.

But if you decide to to do Challenge Mode straight from Hard, you will definitely want the RYNO V before you start it. If you need tips for this, just look up at Q-Force Champion and apply the same tactics, plus now you can fully max out your weapons to level 10 with Omega.
