Ratchet & Clank Easter Eggs

  1. Inflatable Race-woman

    In Blackwater City, go to the woman who asks you if you want to race on the plaza. Then, while facing her, start doing backflips and frontflips and sideflips for a while. You should notice as you do this, her chest inflates to a tremendous size.

Ratchet & Clank Glitches

  1. Infinite Bolts

    (You will need the hologuise and the Taunter for this glitch to work) After you get the hologuise, go to the hoverboard track in Blackwater City. Equip the hologuise and enter the race. You can now freely walk around the racetrack. Head towards the big jump. Stand under the platform where there is a large amount of crates. Equip the taunter. As long as you hold down the O button, bolts will rain down towards you. Note: this can be done only once per game. So until you beat Drek & start a new game you can't do it again.
  2. Invincibility with Giant Clank

    Go to the Robot Plant on Planet Quartu and beat all of the missions there. Then go turn into giant Clank and destroy all the enemies in and around the stadium. When you destroy all of them, fall off of the edge and die. Now you start by the stadium and no attack can hit you, but you can hit them. This is a good way to get more bolts.
  3. One less racer

    At the racetrack in the Gadgetron Site on Kalebo III, if you know you can't win the race save a rocket until the end and launch it just before crossing the line. Select ''continue'' and a rocket will fly towards and destroy the nearest racer at the start of the race.
  4. Avoid Starship Fight in Drek's Fleet Level

    First you must beat the game once. The start a new game with all of your weapons, health upgrades, ect. Then input the 30 second invincibility cheat and play to the Drek's Fleet level. Go through the electrified water section first and get past with one or no hits. At the very end of this section where you get the Code Bot, make sure the cheat is turned on, get the health crate in that room and jump into the electrified water. Don't worry, you won't die. Stay in for a few seconds and jump back out. Continue with the level and you'll notice that all of the ships are now white. The cannons on the the ship with the magna boot part don't fire anymore. So now you can easily get past that without getting in the starfighter. DO NOT DIE BEFORE GETTING TO THE CANNONS OR ELSE THE GLITCH WILL BE TURNED OFF!!!
