Hints: Gold Bolt Locations for Great Clock, Sector Three
1. After the second time puzzle, go outside, and look to your right. You will see a broken object. Fix it, and platforms will appear. Follow the platforms, and get the Gold Bolt.
2. Return to the Mnemonic Station here using the teleporter from beating the game. Reenter Clank's subconscious and Orvus will appear. He will ask you if you want to do the challenge that Sigmund has probed. Say Yes, complete the puzzle, and the Gold Bolt behind the doorway is yours. See a guide for the solution to the puzzle.

Hints: Gold Bolt Locations for Great Clock, Sector Two
1. Just before you walk up to the next part of the level with the four rising platforms, dont jump on all of them to get to the top yet. Look to the right side of the building for the Gold Bolt.
2. Return to the Mnemonic Station here using the teleporter. Reenter Clank's subconscious and you will find Orvus asking you to see if you wanted to do a challenging time puzzle. Say yes. Complete the puzzle, and the Gold Bolt behind the door is yours. See a guide for the solution to the puzzle.

Unlockables: Skill Points: Weapon Section
Wrenchmaster:
Easy one. You have to throw your wrench once and kill three enemies. You should get it on your first time playing the game with Ratchet in Zolar Forest.
Round Trip:
You have to defeat an enemy with the Spiral of Death while one spiral is returning. Return to Zolar Forest with all the weak Zyphoid enemies, and do as the skill point says.
The Simple Art of Armageddon:
This will take a while to get, since the holo plans for the RYNO V are well hidden. How you get this Skill Point is to kill 15 enemies without releasing the trigger on the RYNO V. Once again, find Zolar Forest. Find the place where the dozens of Zyphoids are and go crazy with the gun.
Longshot:
Obtaining this Skill Point takes skill (duh) with the Plasma Striker. You have to hit 30 enemies in their weak spots with the Plasma Striker. If you are having trouble hitting the weak spots, use the Cryomine Glove. The higher the level of the glove the more effective it is.
Sonic Assassin:You have to fire the Sonic Eruptor perfectly 50 times. Just stand by a vendor and when the meter at the top is full, fire the gun. When you run out of ammo, just get more from the vendor. Be lucky you do not have to hit anyone to get the Skill Point.
Party Crasher: You have to defeat 50 dancing enemies. Just go to the Agorian Battleplex and do the challenge "Gone in 60 Seconds". Throw Groovitrons everywhere then destroy all of the enemies with your best weapon. (I would choose the Negotiator or the RYNO V)

R u trying to hold a gun?
Shoot the spirl of death and quickly take out your hookshot and it should look like he is still trying to hold the gun (may need to try a few times) you can get the spirl of death at my favorite place THE AGOIAN BATTLE PLEX!

Unlockable: Bancho Ratchet Skin
A new cheat for a skin has been discovered! Pause the game and press up, right, down, left, triangle, square, X, circle, R3. You should unlock the cool, new secret skin!



Thanks :)

Hints: Gold Bolt Locations for Great Clock, Sector One
1. Return to this part of the Great Clock before starting the third sector of the Great Clock using the teleporter. Through exploring, you will eventually see the Planet Jasindu time anomaly game. Complete all the waves and 2 platforms will appear. On the 2nd platform is the Gold Bolt.

Hints: Gold Bolt Locations for Zolar Forest, Planet Quantos
1. When you start out on the level, look to your left. You will see some kind of burnt tree branch on the ground. Cross the branch, and you will see the Gold Bolt around the corner
2. When you are exploring the level, you will see some ramp that is made for Hoverboots, and a Gold Bolt in the distance. Acquire the Hoverboots, (acquired at Torren IV) and ride the ramp. It should take you straight to the Gold Bolt.
3. While exploring the Fongoid Village, climb up the stairway to the Temple of Zahn. When facing the door, look all the way down to the right. There should be the Gold Bolt on the platform. Glide to get it. You have to get the Hoverboots too to glide, otherwise you will fall.
4. When looking for the 2nd child in the swampy area, look for a platform with a big crate on it, and you will see a narrow way, leading to the Gold Bolt.

Hope I helped :)

Hints: Gold Bolt Locations for Great Clock, Sector Four
1. This one is the easiest Gold Bolt to find, as it is at the start of the level. Before getting to the other side, you will notice that a Gold Bolt is resting on the bottom of the spinning wheel. Get it, then get going to where you need to go.
2. After completing the final time puzzle, go outside, and look to your right. You will see a building in the distance, but it is too far away to jump to. Move towards it, and a platform will appear. Jump on it and then another platform will appear, but its distant, and still too far away. But jump towards it, and a platform in the middle will appear, and then you can jump to the next platform. Jump to the building, and go inside. You will have to do a time anomaly mini-game on Planet Fastoon. Complete it, go through the door that opens and get the Gold Bolt. Take the Meteor Pad, which will take you back to your original place.
3. Return to the Mnemonic Station here using the teleporter after beating the game. Reenter Clank's subconscious, and Orvus will appear. He will ask you to do the challenging time puzzle, and say Yes. Complete the puzzle, and the Gold Bolt behind the door is yours. See a guide for the solution to the puzzle.

Unlockable: Skill Points: Sector Section
Phylax Sector:
I Think I'm Gonna Be Sick:
This one is just as easy as the Magic Bullet skill point. When in this sector, do 5 U-Turns in 20 seconds. Just pull back on the right analog stick 5 times and you should get the skill point.
Stockpiler:
Easy as pie. Just destroy 20 fighters without shooting a missile. It's self-explanatory, so nothing more need be said here.
Vela Sector:
Chasing Tail:
Fly around the sector and you will soon see a blue comet. You have to stay behind the comet for 15 seconds. Note that you will take LOTS of damage so you will probably need the Polarity Plating which gives you 300 health. You will get the skill point eventually.
No Respect For the Dead:
It will take patience, and time for this Skill Point. Fly around the Vela Alpha and Vela Delta areas. You will see floating parts of ships and stuff in space. You can only shoot the ones that are vertical with your ship. Keep looking for stuff to shoot and don't give up, and you will eventually get it.
Korthos Sector:
The Samaritan:
You have to complete all the missions in this sector. There are lots of places to go so look around the depot, Korthos Alpha, and certain ships that need towing. You will get it if you keep at it.
Bernilius Sector:
Hit and Run: You to ram 10 enemies with the Quantum Reflector and destroy them. Its easy so go for it! Also note to boost towards them too.

Big hint
After completing normal mode once dont go to challenge mode just yet go to the corves sector and fight vlint vorselon after that there should be a new planet unlocked the insomniac museum take a look there and let me know what you think

Unlockable: Skill Points: Destruction Section
Magic Bullet:
This may be the first Skill Point you may ever get. You have to kill 2 enemies with 1 bullet. Simple, and nothing more to be said here.
Shock Therapy:
You have to kill an enemy with the Tesla Spikes---trapped by the Mag-Net Launcher. The higher level the Tesla Spikes and the lower level the Mag-Net Launcher the better.
Regifter:
Once you are Clank, and have learned deflection from Orvus, put your deflecting skills to the test. You have to kill 2 enemies with one deflection. Just like the Magic Bullet Skill Point, but a bit more challenging. The easiest way to do this is when in the Great Clock, Sector Four. Soon you will get to the part when there are 3 or 4 green spitters. (I dont really remember if there was 3 or 4.) They take 3 hits to kill, so hit each one twice. Then the green spitters will get close to each other, giving you your perfect opportunity for the Skill Point. Deflect once,and you should get the Skill Point.
Friend of Fred:
You have to get the monster summoned from the Rift Inducer 5000 to eat 10 enemies in one blast. Start the Welcoming Party challenge at the Battleplex. Get all the enemies in the first wave close together then let the monster grab them all. You shold get the Skill Point by then.
Air Lombax: You will get this one pretty quick if you do the Skill Point right. You have to kill 50 enemies in mid-air. Just kill enemies whilest strafing then flip-jumping to either the left or right, your choice.
Champion Bowler:
You have to kill 10 enemies with one Dynamo. Sort of like the skill point Friend of Fred. Just find Zolar Forest and find the place before you reach the Fongoid village. There will be like 12-14 Zyphoids there. Charge of your Dynamo of Doom, then let loose.
Negative,Ghostrider!:You have to shoot down 5 dropships before they drop off any enemy. The best weapon for the job is the Negotiator, and remember, the higher level the Negotiator is, the better!

Unlockable: Skill Points: Planets Section
Zolar Forest:
Cold Killer:
You have to kill 100 Zyphoids on the planet. If you dont get the Skill Point right away, come back to the planet later and you should get it.
Terrible Tourist:
You have to destroy every breakable thing in the Fongoid village. Note when you destroy everything you see exactly, you are not through. There is also some more breakable things inside the place where the Fongoid said that he had a secret passageway to Ratchet's ship. Destroy those and you will get the Skill point. Remember, swing your wrench at everything you think will break.
Axiom City:
Terachnoid Rave:
You have to get 12 Terachnoids to dance. It doesn't have to be 12 different Terachnoids, just 12 Terachnoids. Use the same Terachnoid(s) if you want, but if you want my opinion, I would choose the four around the vendor so you can get more ammo if you run out.
Baggage Handler:
This Skill Point is just plain annoying, am I right? You have to destroy every piece of luggage in Axiom City. And every time you die, every single, little piece of luggage reappears. So my advice for you is to focus on not dying and every piece of luggage to destroy.
Molonoth Fields:
Spring Cleaning:
You have to destroy every junk pile in the level. There are no junk piles past the Hollow so be lucky there aren't. There is one by your ship but it cannot be destroyed with your wrench, so take out your Constructo Pistol and blast it. The other junk piles can be destroyed with your wrench.
Son of Kaden:
This one is easy. You have to complete the final Hoverboot where you have to collect the flares in less then 45 seconds. You should get it your first time through on the course.
