This is the final boss of the game and it isn't too challenging, although it can be long. For the first phase of the battle, it only has a few attacks. One is pounding the ground with one of its claws three times; just stay away from it. When you see it rear back, that means it's going to slam the ground once with its claw, sending out a shockwave.
One last attack in this phase is a sweeping attack with its arm, which can easily be jumped over. The boss has a lot of health, so you're going to be going through your weapons, and every weapon can deal damage, even the Winterizer. Don't forget that there are weapon crates on the platform you're fighting on, so seek them out if you need ammo.
Once you deal enough damage, the boss will destroy the platform and you will need to Grav-Leap from land to land while avoiding its laser. When you get to the last platform, you'll switch to Clank and be in the Netherverse. There's nothing too difficult about this one, although you will need slightly good control of the gravity changes.
At the bottom of the first corridor, make the sure hazard ceiling is up, then go down and to the right underneath it. The next part requires using the block to get in the way of the lasers. The first two are easy, but be careful with the sideways ones. Push the block to block the laser, then jump over and pull it, doing the same with the one on the left side.
Go the rest of the way to meet up with Vendra, who needs some help to break the barrier. The path below will lead to a Nether you can bring back to help Vendra, and it's not difficult at all. It's nothing but the bombs and two sideways- moving platforms should you change the gravity to that direction, so don't. Bring the Nether back to switch control again over to Ratchet.
The second round against the Nether Leader has it still using the attacks from the previous one, as well as gaining a few new attacks. When you see it go back and then forward, with a flash of lightning, it will spawn two Nether generators, so quickly take them out. The other attack has it blocking both ends with its claws, then shooting a tracking laser with its eye.
Once again, when its health reaches a certain threshold, it will destroy the platform and you'll have to Grav-Leap to the end, where you go back to Clank. This is the final and toughest Netherverse segment, with a lot of lasers and hazards. You'll need precise control over changing gravity and will need to utilize the moving platforms as cover twice. Bring the Nether back to Vendra to face off against the boss one last time with Ratchet.
The Nether Leader's final phase is similar to the second, with only one new attack, which is to turn the platform upside down. All other attacks, except the triple pound, sweep and generator spawn, are used when upside down. Keep up the attacks and you'll eventually win the war of attrition with the boss' health.
| Congratulations! You've beaten the game. Once the credits finish rolling you get the chance to start the game over from the beginning with Challenge Mode. Enemies are more challenging here, but you gain access to more powerful versions of your weapons that you can buy with Bolts and Gold Bolts (which can be leveled up to a max of level 6). |
