I decided that I should make my first FAQ on R&C:GC because A) R&C is one of my favorite video game series, and B) the Boss FAQ came easily to me. Well, thats enough about me, lets talk about the bosses. Version History I dont like all the space this section takes up either, but it needs to be here. Version 1.0- Just put up on Cheatcodes.com Version 1.1- Fixed a spacing problem, needed to delete My Arsenal feature The Bosses Section This is where youre going to find the help you need. Layout Here is the layout for the boss FAQ: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- ------ Boss Type and # Difficulty (1 to 5) Name of Boss Planet found on Location on Planet Reward: (only on optional bosses) Info/instructions/tips on how to beat the boss easily. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boss 1 .5/5 Swamp Monster 1 Planet Oozla Just before the Dynamo This is the simplest and easiest boss of all. Just strafe (Hold L2 orR2) and shoot it. You will most likely have the Lancer already upgraded. You can also use the Gravity Bomb (Mini-Nuke?) to knock his/her tentacles back so they cant attack, and cause damage, too. Get the 4 ammo crates at the side to replenish ammunition. Strafe, shoot, and dodge your way to victory. If you die, all I can say is. . try again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional Boss 1 1/5 Chainblade Maktar Nebula Battle Arena Reward: Bolts Yet another simpleton. Whip out your Gravity Bomb/Mini-Nuke while hes on the ground. Use your [Heavy] Lancer when, 1) he flies in the air, or 2) you run out of Nuke ammo. Theoretically, you could also use the Chopper, but I didnt. Strafe, dodge, and shoot. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional Boss 2 2/5 B2 Brawler Maktar Nebula Battle Arena Reward: Bolts This guy is just a little bit harder. Strafe around him jumping and shooting (with the Lancer) and avoiding his shots. Side-flip to jump over the leg-spin, and keep shooting. Use the Mini-Nuke to inflict serious damage. DO NOT FALL OFF THE ARENA. If you do, youre pretty much screwed. Have fun with this one! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boss 2 2.5/5 T-4-L Leader Personal Helicopter Planet Endako Before Clanks Apartment If you have the Mini-turrent glove, lay a few down and let them do some of the work for you. Otherwise the Lancer is youre best bet. There is no other good medium range weapon right now. Stay behind the barricades, strafe, shoot, and jump (over rockets and machine gun fire) to sweet victory. Oh, yeah, and be afraid of those electro-balls. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boss 3 2.5/5 Theif Planet Siberius Twice on top of trucks, last on launch pad The Thief is an O.K. boss. Hes not too easy, and not too hard. On the Trucks- use the Lancer or the Seeker/H2KK gun to whittle him down to retreating status. And repeat. Then, when you get to the missile launch pad, repeat. Try to avoid the Megacorp Security Robots, Blade Balls, and ground turrents. Or you could Nuke em all. You could also use your own turrents or Sythenoids to help out. One wrench hit will take out the turrents, so swing your wrench if you want to save ammo. Also, watch out for the shockwave bomb thing he uses. So, strafe, shoot, nuke, swing, and jump. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Giant Clank Battle 1 (required) 2/5 T-4-L Leader Mech v.1 Planet Dobbo Moon Level This is a Giant Clank Battle. You can use punches, missiles, and bombs to destroy the opposing mech. T-4-L Leader will use punches, missiles, and atomic energy blasts (like from R&C 1!). Use punches a lot at close range, mostly missiles at med- long range, and bombs at med-long range to mix things up. At the start, charge him and let the fists fly. Not his, yours. When he runs, chase him shooting missiles. Launch a bomb if you really want to, I didnt. When he flies, and the screen tints red, jump. Then, try and land on him to cause some damage. Then, deck him. The helicopters are a pain in numbers, so destroy them when your health drops a little too fast. Also, destroy the buildings to replenish both health and ammo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional Boss 3 1/5 w/ Mini/Mega Rocket, 2.5/5 w/o Arachnoid Planet Joba Battle Arena Reward: Bolts Go get the mini-rocket tube. Then, blast away. You can beat him without even using up all of your ammo. Dont get too close or hell jump to the opposite end of the cage. When the Nidbots (small spiders) get too much for you, nuke em. Strafe and jump around the electro-spheres he sends out. If you somehow run out of rocket ammo, switch to Lancer. Too easy if you ask me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional Boss 4 3.5/5 Megapede Planet Joba Battle Arena Reward: Bolts I came back after I finished Planet Gorn. First, use the [mini/mega rocket] tube to bring down the sections of him, and then use the Lancer, Blitz, H2KK, or tube to destroy the turrent it turns into. You could also nuke it twice. When he gets low in health, he will stop losing sections when you hit him, but hell release more of those bomb thingies. NOTE: This is #1 of 2 bosses where I think strafing doesnt help. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boss 4 4/5 T-4-L Leader Mech v.2 Planet Snivelak End of Level Do you remember that mech on the Dobbo Moon? Well, that was Little Boy, this is Fat Man! Your biggest gun couldnt even put a dent in that thing, so you are going to need to use the Plasma turrents conveniently located on top of the residents houses. Basically, just shoot and continue. If youre a good shot, you can take out the homing missiles on their way to you. If your not, just shoot Mech until the missiles get close, then shoot them. Jump out of the turrent when . A) Mech gets close or B) he flies high. Youre jumping out because . Aa) smash the turrent with his fist, Ab) destroy the turrent with a laser, Ba) throw a car at the turrent, or Bb) lob bombs at the turrent. Really, just shoot and continue. NOTE: The R.Y.N.O. II is the only weapon that even dings him (and still only a little!). NOTE II: This is boss #2 of 2 where strafing doesnt help. PalmerD1 found another way to beat the giant creep: "Just get the Heavy Bouncer, the RYNO II, and the Zodiac and use one or two turrents and the T4L Robot is history." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional Boss 5 2/5 Swamp Monster 2 Planet Oozla In the secret area up the gravity boot path Reward: Box Breaker Basically, just shoot long range weapons while running. Here are her attacks= close- tentacle sweep, big claw smash, bite; long- acid ball. Learn to side-flip and back- flip perfectly so you can be retreating and shooting at the same time. Sometimes shell go under water except for her eye. Dont waste any ammo. Shell come up near you. I have 3 words for you NUKE! NUKE! NUKE! Nuke her while you RUN! Its not that hard really. The biggest danger is drowning in the muck. It may help to use the Shield Charger or Synthenoids. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Giant Clank Battle 2 (optional) 4.5/5 U.F.O. Planet Damosel Moon Level Reward: Mapper First of all, I HATE this boss!!! Punch the walkers to get health and to get them out o the way. Go crazy on the ship when it lands to release more walkers. It has a force-field around it when it is flying. The walkers electro-attack HURTS, so kill them fast! When the mother ship gets down (in health), it will go to a set position and create an electric field around it. Itll fire a green energy shot at you, so walk (strafing) back and forth on the girders and fire missiles and bombs. Go back and destroy buildings to get ammo (and health). It wont move. It will, however, release walkers. Kill them and repeat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Boss (5) 0/5 with RYNO2, 5/5 w/o Mutated Protopet Planet Yeedil End of game/level You can do 1 of these things- A) use your RYNO II, B) go berserk and hit him with any and everything youve got, or C) do this Equip Tesla Barrier and Kilonoids, stock up on ammo, and swingshot in to start the fight. 1st Floor- First use ALL of your Bouncer (no alternative!) ammo. Including ammo pick-ups. Before you run out, the protopet should be able to break the floor. The Barrier and Kilonoids are for taking care of the little protopets. NOTE: DO NOT LET HIM EAT THE AMMO CRATES!!! VERY BAD NEWS! He pukes it back up as his version of the weapon that goes with the ammo in the crate. 2nd Floor- Your Kilonoids can take care of the troopers, but to help them along, use the tube. 3rd Floor- Use the tube and kilonoids to destroy the tanks and troopers. NOTE: DO NOT LET HIM EAT THE TRACTOR BEAM BOMBS!!!! VERY, VERY BAD NEWS!! Get to em first and use them to damage him. Then, get back to Bouncer and the Beast. If you get lucky, the Big Pet will roll over and kill some of the troopers. Hopefully you dont run out of Bouncer ammo. If you do, resort to any long-range weapon you have (Lancer, H2KK, ect.).
