9 for 10 - 'Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One' Quiz

Answer: Wigwump

Utilising the Jet-Packs to slow their descent, the quartet find themselves echoing the words of Status Quo as they go down, down, deeper and down into the depths of the Deadgrove. At the very bottom awaits the Wigwump, a giant worm-like monster with a rather xenophobic attitude. Anything and anyone invading its burrow suffers the wrath of the Wigwump. Fortunately, the quartet are able to dodge its surprise attacks on the way down and its volley of fire and debris on the cavern floor. Once the dust settles and the Wigwump is no more, the group return to the surface and continue on to the Northern Extraterrestrial Sorting Terminal.

Answer: Aldaros Plains

The Aldaros Plains were once joined together but with the arrival of the Gravity Bots, the area was transformed into an aerial archipelago of floating islands. Such is the influence of the Gravity Bots that the change in gravity also affects sentient creatures that enter their range. For the quartet, this means they are able to jump to much greater heights than normal and access areas that were previously unreachable.

The Aldaros Plains are home to the Tharpods, a race of peaceful, nature-loving aliens who seem very inconvenienced by the effects of the Gravity Bots.

Answer: Reflector

The Reflector generates an opaque digital screen in front of the user and can reflect high-energy lasers as well as some enemy projectiles. The gadget comes in particular use when the quartet venture to the orbiting Phonica Moon and attempt to break through the various security defences.

The heavily fortified Uzo City also features laser traps only surmountable using the Reflector. Contrary to its name, Captain Qwark's Quantum Deflector does not offer the same protection as the Reflector, focusing instead on absorbing enemy fire rather than reflecting and redirecting dangerous beams of energy.

Answer: Mr. Perkins

Mr. Perkins is a seemingly unique version of a Tank Minion who defends a particular section of the N.E.S.T. facility with his high-capacity shield and dangerous volley of rockets. As ever, taking down Mr. Perkins requires cooperation, with two Mortar Slams required to activate buttons and temporarily power down the shield. Once vulnerable, the team has limited time to get their attacks in before the shield is restored and Mr. Perkins is protected again. If the team uses their Critter Strikes and transforms Mr. Perkins into a tiny critter, they'll complete a skill point.

Answer: OmegaTech Frost Cannon

Much like the CryoMine Glove from 'Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time', the OmegaTech Frost Cannon has the ability to freeze enemies in their place and leave them vulnerable to a shattering. Unlike the CryoMine Glove which allows Ratchet to throw proximity mines, the OmegaTech Frost Cannon goes for a more direct approach and shoots a beam of ice at the foe unlucky enough to be around. Multiplying the effects of the gun by having several beams aimed at the same enemy will create a frosty burst of sub-zero power, hurting nearby enemies as well.

Answer: Nevo Binklemeyer

Initially, the quartet believe Nevo Binklemeyer to be the mastermind behind the Ephemeris project; this is later disproved when they discover Binklemeyer is only a puppet in a much larger, much more catastrophic scheme. Effectively enslaved by the Loki Master of Toranux, Binklemeyer worked to modify the Ephemeris to travel to other planets and collect the most dangerous beasts in the known universe.

When the quartet reach the Ephemeris in the centre of Uzo City, they discover the Loki Master's true intentions: to utilise Dr. Croid's Protomorphic Energy Extractor to transfer the Loki Master into these beasts so it can conquer the universe.

As the quartet face a difficult final battle with the Loki Master possessing a Grivelnox from Rykan V, they manage to separate the spirit from the beast. Without a host to survive inside, the Loki Master dies and the threat is quelled.

Answer: Glob Lobber

As an Agorian invention, the Glob Lobber utilises a special substance that clings to special plates and weighs them down. In some areas, this causes bridges to lower and small islands to temporarily overcome the low-gravity conditions in which it resides.

The Glob Lobber also works on enemies and can slow them down, giving the quartet a quick advantage in the heat of battle when facing oncoming foes.

Answer: Ephemeris

A collaborative effort between the two great Tharpod scientists Nevo Binklemeyer and Frumpus Croid, Ephemeris' original purpose was to track down Binklemeyer and Croid's cat, Mr. Dinkles, after the two disappear in suspicious circumstances along with Croid's Protomorphic Energy Extractor.

However, Ephemeris is modified by Binklemeyer (at the Loki Master's request) and it sets out to scan for and capture the most dangerous beasts in the universe. One such beast is the Light Eating Z'Grute which, at the beginning of the game, tears up Luminopolis when Dr. Nefarious lets it loose on the city. Ephemeris comes to the rescue and scoops it up, though Ratchet, Clank, Captain Qwark and Dr. Nefarious are also caught in its wake and end up imprisoned in the Magnus Detention Facility.

Answer: Rooftop Amphitheatre

Yet again bent on doing in Captain Qwark, Dr. Nefarious unleashes a Light Eating Z'Grute on the city of Luminopolis on the planet Igliak, but reluctantly teams up with Ratchet, Clank and Qwark to help stop it when things turn pear-shaped for the robotic madman. Grindrails, hover taxis, weapon certification tests and a running commentary by broacasters Kip Darling and Pepper Fairbanks are just some of the features of the game's first stage.

The Z'Grute's rampage comes to an end atop Zogg Tower, as the quartet make use of turrets to take down the beast from afar.

Answer: warmonger

Developed by the Terraklons, the Warmonger is a bit of a hit-and-miss weapon in comparison to the other weapons on offer. Its small ammunition capacity (six rockets, to begin with) and its slow firing rate doesn't make it a particularly great choice, but it does come into its own against some of the tougher enemies in the game.

Its high-power and high-velocity rockets can turn the tide of battle, and the Elite version packs even more of a punch. The Warmonger is first available when the quartet reaches Orthani Gorge in the Deadgrove, and costs a mere 6,000 bolts.
