Speedy (Blackwater City, Rilgar): Beat a hoverboard in under 1:35 minutes
I'm still stuck on this so I can't give you a hint
Alien Invasion (Jowai Resort, Pokitaru): Destroy some of the ships above you with the Visibomb Gun.
I think it was only three but I can't quite remember, don't go too high and just follow one around if you catch one!
Buried Treasure (Jowai Resort, Pokitaru): Destroy all the explosives underwater.
I recommend you get the Hydro-Pack before you try this skill point, just swim up to them and swim away!
Sitting Ducks (Gemlik Base, Oltanis Orbit): Destroy all the cargo ships.
Use the visibomb and search and kill
Shattered Glass (Gorda City Ruins, Oltanis): Blast all the street lights in the city.
There are some in the Swingshot area, you can try the Visibomb to get them or go through it, make sure you hit the LIGHT
Blast 'em (Gorda City Runis, Oltanis): Destroy three of those ships that fly around.
Use Visibomb, make sure you have lots of bolts and are near a Gadgetron vendor as this could take a while!
Heavy Traffic (Gadgetron Site, Kalebo III): Go through that grindrail challenge without being hit.
Quite a tough challenge, don't have mirrored levels on. Using your (Gold) Pyrocitor and dodge the traffic best you can, don't go on any of the bonus grindrails!
Magician (Gadgetron Site, Kalebo III): Beat a hoverboard race with over 4,500 points.
I think it's around 4,500, still one I need to work on but don't worry about your position and go for big tricks. You can get ten points by jumping and flipping at any time!
Careful Cruise (Drek's Fleet, Veldin Orbit): Get through the water traversal without getting hurt.
Probably one of the hardest skill points to get, avoid lasers, mines and try and try not to get hit by the blades of the fans
Going Commando (Kyzil Plateau, Veldin): Defeat ten of those elite guards with ONLY your wrench
I'm still working on this, I think the Thruster Pack and Hyper Strike will work best, get the Ultra Nanotech off Planet Orxon before you even try this!
Hope I've helped you, don't hesist to ask me if you run into any other problems!

If I remember rightly, you need the O2 Mask and need to go to Planet Orxon. Go down the route you couldn't go as Clank (since the Clank area should be locked) and when you get to the Gadgetron Vendor, turn left instead of right. Go through that path and you should, at the end, come across a vendor with an N on it.
To get the first boost (Premium Nanotech, boosts your health by one nanotech sphere) you need 3,000 bolts. To get the second boost (Ultra Nanotech, boosts your health by three Nanotech spheres) get the Premium and then pay 30,000 for the Ultra. You should then have double the amount of spheres you had before. Sadly, after you get the Ultra Nanotech, you can't purchase anymore Nanotech boosters.

Game shark is a something you can use for any system. You can get good codes made up of numbers and letters. They are very useful if you want to cheat. I really suggest you buy one at target or anywhere else you can buy video games. I also suggest using a friend with one to help you out.

Restarting the game is fine, you'll still have all your bolts and weapons but you'll only get to keep one gadget (that's your Gadgetron PDA if you were wondering!)
To unlock these cheats, do the actions in-game and NOT on the Goodies menu. Try using the Heli-Pack if they don't work with the Thruster Pack!
Clank has a big head:
Flip Back (hold R1 to crouch then jump while snapping the left analog stick back), Hyper Strike (jump and press square), Comet Strike (crouch and press square), Double Jump (jump then jump again while in midair), Hyper Strike, Flip Left (crouch and snap the stick left while jumping), Flip Right (crouch and snap the stick right while jumping), Full Second Crouch (just crouch until you get the notice that the cheat is enabled).
Enemies have big heads:
Stretch Jump (press X and R1 together when running), Flip Back (you need to do this three times), Stretch Jump, Flip Back (three times), Stretch Jump, Flip Back (do this three times), Full Second Crouch (until the notice comes).
NPCs have big heads (Non Player Characters, example is Al from Al's Roboshack):
Flip Left, Flip Right, Flip Back (do this twice), Comet Strike, Double Jump, Comet Strike, Hyper Strike.
Ratchet has a big head:
Flip Back (do this three times), Full Second Crouch (you need to count a second now), Stretch Jump, Full Second Glide (glide for a full second, After the stretch jump, hold X to glide).
Temporary Invincibility (After collecting Nanotech that makes you full health:)
Comet Strike (you need to do this four times), Flip Back, Full Second Crouch, Flip Back, Full Second Crouch, Comet Strike (do this four times).
Trippy Contrails:
Wall jump (you need to find jumping slots like the ones in the fitness course in Metropolis, Kerwan. Then press X as you reach each wall. Do ten of these), Double Jump, Hyper Strike.

First you must beat the game to buy any gold weapons. Then go to Novolis and there is a place that will teleport you to the gold weapons room that is right by your ship. There is other places where you can buy more gold weapons as well.

Hello everyone, I have just recovered every Gold Bolt in the Galaxy, but...HOW DO YOU USE THEM?!
I'm stuck! What's the use of having all those bolts if I can't use them? I need to know!
Thank you.

You use Gold Bolts to get gold weapons. There are ten available for 4 gold bolts and a few bolts!
(Gold Bomb Glove
Gold Pyrocitor
Gold Blaster
Gold Suck Cannon
Gold Glove of Doom) These five are available before you complete the game
(Gold Mine Glove
Gold Devastator
Gold Decoy Glove
Gold Telsa Claw
Gold Morph-o-Ray) are only available AFTER you complete the game and RESTART the game.
All ten are available after you complete the game.
Need more help? Don't hesitate to ask!

1) How can I get the skillpoint speedy, I know that I have to get it in less than 1:35 but its just that I can't get it, how can you cut through corners?
2) Where are the golden weapons in Novalis, I can't find any teleporter to get on!
Can someone please help me?

1) I'm still stuck on this one, sorry I can't help you there!
2) Have you completed the game once and started a new one? If no, go complete it. Have you beaten Captain Qwark on Gemlik Base, Oltanis Orbit? If yes, go back to that runway and look around for a tall tower. Wall jump up and there should be one of those lifts. Take it up and you will find a Gold Weapons room with the first 5 (Bomb Glove, Pyrocitor, Blaster, Suck Cannon & Glove of Doom) gold weapons!

To unlock the cheats you have to complete the game if you are stuck on beating drek on the last level you have to save up to get the Rhino it takes ages but its worth it.
Look on the cheats section of ratchet and clank to get some cheats.

If I remember, there is only one on Oltanis Orbit!
When you go through the part with the green sludge that rises and descends (make sure you have MAXIMUM health) stand on the safer platform in the middle and look around for a hole in the wall to one of your sides somewhere. While the sludge is descending, Glide/Stretch Jump over (Thruster Pack would be better) if you don't quite make it, the green sludge will take one health off you but you should then end up in that room. The bolt is in there!

I am trying to complete the game. I already have all the Gold bolts and Gold weapons. I am having problems with one of the cheats though. I am trying to find out if there is anyone who can help me with sitting ducks. I would love to know how many of the ships do I have to blow up ?
Anyone need help with finding anything just drop me a note.

I remember the ones on Kalebo III, Veldin however is a little more difficult to remember so I'll tell you the ones I roughly remember.
Kalebo III:
Bolt 1 - Go through the first part of the grindrail, press a switch and flip over to another rail and press another two switches to deactivate the forcefield on the rail.
Go over and flip onto another bonus rail which I have a habit of calling "Ratchet's revenge" because of the numourous defeating of enemies you do on that rail. It's on that rail somewhere
Bolt 2 - Get to the end of the grindrail challenge where the Helpdesk Lady was. Stand a few metres (or meters) in front of the door and look down. When there is a platform, jump down there and use the teleporter.
Inside that room there are a lot of chickens and the gold bolt should be in there as well.
Veldin:
Gold Bolt 1 - Eventually, you'll come to an area where when you look around, you see a blue forcefield but no way of deactivating it. There is a way to deactivate and that is to simply use your taunter and a frog inside will activate the switch inside, lowering the forcefield and helping you defeat him. The gold bolt is in there.
Gold Bolt 2 - Just after the last Trespasser puzzle, move on until you get to the area where you have to Swingshot across to move on. Find a platform and jump on it. If it's the right platform, you'll go down a grindrail and the bolt will be at the bottom.
Gold Bolt 3 - Er... all I know about this one is that it is located before the last Trespasser puzzle. I think you have to get onto the roof of something nearby and keep gliding but I'm not too sure how to explain it in a term you'll understand.

You need to go in the opposite direction of where you landed. You should see a big pile of boxes, destroy them. Use the Trespasser on the door, the puzzle is straight forward. After that, glide down to a stone platform and glide across to a platform with a Bolt Crank. Turn the bolt and it should bring a few swinging Swingshot targets down. Swing on them and you'll get to another platform. Turn the bolt crank on that and a few yellow platform-like things will come up. Glide/ Stretch Jump over them (don't worry if you fall, you just start again from the door but the door is already open).
You should then Stretch Jump or Glide over to another platform with a Bolt Crank on. Turn this and two Green Swingshot targets will appear. Walk near (but not off) the edge and use the Swingshot and it should grip onto the further one. Use the Trespasser on the door and he should be in there somewhere.
I don't think you can go to Aridia without Clank, if that's what you mean!

Do you know about that flashing panel that you see when you were grinding out of that tunnel? Well, there are 3 that must be activated to get rid of the blue lazers. To activate them, just swing your wrench at them once your right up to them. The firrst one is ahead of you on the right when you exit the tunnel. The other 2 are on the rail that robot set a mine on after you pass the first panel.
After all 3 panels are actvated, jump on the rail with the blue lazers and get the gold bolt at the end.
I hoped this helped!

You get the Map-o-Matic from the Grindrail Challenge.
To get the Hologuise, you need to survive the Blarg attacks and you'll come across one of the Gadgetron employees (he's a bit like the lizard-like thing you see in the vendors except he's older, much older) talk to him and enter into the hoverboard race. You will receive the Hologuise when you win the race.
If you need anymore help, don't hesist to ask me
