Defeating Otto Destruct

To defeat Otto (the final Boss), you need four weapons: The Optical Maser Array, Electro Rocket (with shock and Lock-on mods), Shield Barrier and the PDA. Put up a shield and use the Optical Maser Array to lower his shield. Then, blast him with the Electro Rocket. Keep repeating this until you defeat him. Use the PDA if you run out of ammo. Note: This is when you and Otto are the same size, not for the Battle Ratchets, Giant Otto or the Giant Clank Battle.

Easy bolts

• In Challenge mode, get as high of a bolt multiplier as possible. Enter or reenter the dream realm. You should appear on a small island. Break the boxes and the small shack to get about 5,000 to 10,000 bolts (50,000 bolts in Challenge mode). Go to the second island and kill the birds that fly through the wall, then destroy the two shacks and boxes on the island. From that you should get about 30,000 to 40,000 bolts (120,000 in Challenge mode). After for Normal mode, jump in the water and get eaten by a fish and do it again. In Challenge mode, go to the white portal on the first island (which should be there after completing the Dream Realm). Exit the Dream Realm through it, then reenter and repeat the strategy.
  

• Play in a Challenge mode game. When you get your Polarizer Gadget, go back to Metalis. Next to your ship is a grid in the wall. Use your Polarizer on it then go through the level to get your Titanium Bolt. Then, use your teleport to get back to your ship. Continue until you get to Dayni Moon. Try not to finish this level. You will need the boxes at the start. First, try to get your bolt multiplier up as high as possible without getting hit. Try going on the Clank platform over from the ship and use the Titan Deadeye Mine weapon to kill anything that moves. Then, get in the ship. Go back to Metalis. Use the teleport to go where your bolt was. Get the boxes. One hyper strike should do it. Then, teleport back to your ship and go to Dayni Moon. Get the boxes at the start. If you need to do the same thing with the Deadeye Mine weapon to get your multiplier up, do it quickly. Then, go back in your ship and travel to Metalis to repeat the process.
  

• Go to Planet Challax. Near your ship is a pad that will reads "Smash technomight factory". You can go into it multiple times and make money for all the ships you destroy. Use the Rocket blasts when there are lots of ships.
  

Free Concussion Gun

You can get a free Concussion Gun if you wait until Ratchet must escape from the hospital. After getting his weapons taken from him in the hospital, Ratchet picks up the Lacerator then the Concussion Gun. If you have not yet purchased the Concussion Gun you will still pick it up and can keep it after you complete the level. Thus if you have not purchased it yet you will get it for free.

Easy experience

• Use the following trick for easy weapon experience and bolts. After you get to the Clone Factory, Quodrona, go back to Technomite City, Challax. Go through the board with the weapon you want to level up. When you run out of ammo, buy it on the PDA. Afterwards, go to Farming Cooperative, Dayni Moon and do the same thing. Then, go to the Clone Factory, Quodrona and fight through there. However, do not fight Otto. Repeat this process as many times as desired, You will level up once at least each three planet course and get at least 50,000 bolts (500,000 bolts in Challenge mode).
  
• Go to the Clone Factory, Quodrona, then enter the door. Kill the Ratchet Clone and the Mini Guns. After you have defeated them, open the door ahead using the Grind-Lock. You will see two Nurse Bots. Kill them with the weapon that you want to level up, then exit back outside and jump into the lava. When you go back to the checkpoint, enter the factory again with the weapon that you want to level up. This time you can run pass the mini gunners and the Ratchet Clone and enter though the door. Kill the Nurse Bots then let the gunners kill you or the clone to revive. Repeat this until you are satisfied with your experience. When you get Titan, they might take a bit longer to level up, however it is still a very fast way to do it.
  

Easy wins

Glitches

Sumos do not attack

If you have a shield, go to the second planet. Put on your shield and go to the sumos. They will make rapping noises and cannot attack you.

Death by bull

Note: Use the Armoogedon for this trick. Go to any island and change a monster into a bull. Just after you change him into a bull, jump on his back and stay like that. If the bull moves you also have to move. After about seven seconds Ratchet will start screaming as if he fell of something high and die. You will have to start at the last checkpoint.

Unfinished last level

Play the last level all of the way up to the part where you defeat Otto in the Giant Clank battle. Warp back to the beginning and go through the level again (without exiting or loading a saved game). Notice that some walls and floors are invisible. If you try to go through the door into the three minute Ratchet clone battle, you will pass through the door but you will not start the battle. To return to normal, save and reload the game or go through the level back to the beginning.
