Can You Beat Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction With Only the Wrench?

[@dylanmanf6427]

1. For the part at the end of the 3rd level when you used weapons, it’s possible to get the flying enemies by using the gelanator gadget. Use it where the enemy is, go on top of it, and throw the wrench 2. For the part in apagee space station with the turret on the top, it’s actually possible to get with the wrench but it’s very tough. You have to keep using the chargeboots and hyperstrike and the right time 3. To get that part on ublik passage wrench only with that enemy on the top, there’s a way you can take that will skip you though that whole section. It’s not hard to pull off

[@davidalbers1143]

Can you explain more about 2.?

[@dylanmanf6427]

@@davidalbers1143 right before you are about to hit that turret on the top, go back a little bit and use your chargeboots to get speed and hyperstrike at the right time

[@Stevemaster67]

There is a way 6:49 you can use the jelly gun to create a platform to reach the it and hit it with the wrench

[@Robintheboywonder4]

There are 3 leviathan souls on Cobalia, and you can use them to get the launch codes for the shuttle without killing any outside the space station

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

I realised that this week! Thanks for sharing!

[@JAYDOG1337A]

If you killed all 3 of the leviathans on cobalia, then kept their souls instead of selling them to the smuggler, you could've kept them and traded them at apogee without having to face any apogee leviathans, I do that all the time, because on cobalia the souls are only worth 2000 bolts, on apogee they're worth 4000, so I trade them there, now on sargasso they're worth 8000, but I use a glitch there on the dinosaurs to get tons of souls by using the groovitron and physically pushing them back into the water, it causes them to release dozens of souls as they die tons of times, sometimes it kills them permanently and sometimes they'll respawn if you die, so it's a somewhat repeatable glitch, using this method is the easiest way to get bolts in both regular and challenge mode.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Thanks for sharing! I usually don't use glitches, unless I randomly find exploits like the battle against Zorthan. On top of that, in this run bolts were almost useless to me😂 Still kept smashing boxes though

[@raraforever8770]

ACTUALLY YOU CAN BEAT the ennemies at 6:55 just to hit in the back ( pretty difficult yes ) but you can , and use the gelatonium for the ship

[@oliverwilliams9851]

Awesome man, I’ve been looking for ages for a channel that will run ratchet and clank, such a good series. I’d love to see you do all the games.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Will post Can You Beat Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus on Legend Difficulty with only the Wrench? In about two weeks!

[@lastlombaxx]

Hall of knowledge stores things like coordiantes of planets and the data of the planets as well.

[@gurnihalsingh6252]

I dont know why but these long videos are somehow rewatchable, I have already watched all of your videos 3 times. Very great stuff, also congrats on 50+ subs.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Thank you so much!

[@melaniemisa2577]

Your content is really high quality with superb commentary. How on earth do you only have 207 subscribers?? I hope more people find your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Thank you! It's really fun to see that the channel is growing. I do have big plans for future video's. Currently recording my biggest run ever

[@ДжокЫвг]

Man you do a great job every time! You absolutely deserve more subscribers!!!

[@OfficialXiaoLing]

I absolutely can't wrap my head around the fact that you only have 88 subscribers at the moment, because the content is absolutely awesome. I watched your video trying to beat ACIT with wrench only, and really thought that this was a bigger channel based only on the editing and content. You definitely deserve more subscribers. Keep up the great content (especially the ratchet and clank content!!!) and i'm sure one day you'll have at least a 100k subscribers!

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Thank you very much!

[@konfapooch]

Bro the save on mukow vs the electric whatever dude was fucking funny LMAO Love this video, watched the crack in time one and loved that too

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@tylerthegamerofficial]

It is possible to defeat the shielded enemies with the wrench, you have to get behind them and then do a hyper-strike or do the wrench-throw at them, also, the Hall of Knowledge is able to be beated by the wrench, you have to get behind the spawned shielded enemies and do the hyper-strike/wrench-throw and then when you reach the flying enemy Drophyds, use the Gelanator to get high enough to throw the wrench at them! So it was possible! So no weapons were needed, it was said that you needed a Gelanator, so do another try and remember what I taught you!

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Yeah, people memtioned that. But still, the big robo pirate hanging at the Ublik Passage is not possible to beat with only the wrench

[@centurosproductions8827]

"Your currently selected weapon is not effective against shielded enemies. Use a stronger weapon." "NO!"

[@M_B_J]

Another great vid. You have amazing patience!

[@theultimatepiemsater]

Just watched this and your ACIT run! I always love challenge runs in games and I love seeing the future games get some love! Would love to maybe see the 2016 reboot or Into the Nexus or perhaps something with the Uncharted games. Keep up the great work!

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

I am planning to do Into the Nexus wrench only and maybe Uncharted without shooting or something in the future. But first, I am working on a big project. A run that is hard, but also very fun. Will keep that a secret for the time being😉

[@CozyGlow625]

It is named "Hall Of Knowledge" since you solely play through a microscopic sequence of it. It is also mentioned in the wiki that the Hall is "strictly off-limits to trespassers".

[@scatered1]

You're a certified genius. The Kerchu construction bot boss was the first part I thought of when I imagined a wrench only ToD run but it goes much deeper than that.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Funny how with the right strategy he isn't such a problem right?

[@scatered1]

@@obscurevideogameruns6250 It's technological magic. Look forward to seeing what else you have in store and of course take as much time as you need.

[@zachw1950]

Currently playing the game wrench only and no armor, haven’t had any troubles, you might wanna look up some guides or speed runs next time cause it didn’t feel very thorough on your end. Looking forward to a crack in time though.

[@literalcharlie4171]

You deserve so much more credit for doing this without running back to an ammo vendor for free health at every opportunity. I can’t even imagine the patience you must have especially for Talwyn’s ship since the vendors were right by the turrets that you struggled with

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

I feel like that would be cheating and isn't as fun

@@obscurevideogameruns6250 It probably is haha. Great video though. I had no idea the kerchu boss would’ve been so easy or the electrified slag

You should do a wrench only run of quest for booty and nexus

[@KingpinCarlito]

Right. He should do a wrench only for each R&C entry

great video man! was looking forward to this

[@stealth8309]

these videos are too good bruh

[@hhstark8663]

Would be great to know if you can beat the following items using only the wrench: "Ratchet & Clank quest for booty", "Ratchet & Clank: All 4 one", "Ratchet & Clank: Qforce"

[@Stevemaster67]

I did a similar run only using the Razor blades then the Lighting wipe

[@tylerthegamerofficial]

Quest of Booty should be next then A Crack in Time then Into the Nexus.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Into the Nexus is now up on my channel. Don't know if you've seen that already

[@MintyDude]

You should try some out of bounds stuff if you can, I say that mostly because I don't really know how this game deals with out of bounds stuff and how the collision is

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

I know that you can use the Shock Ravager to skip many things in this game. But I always prefer beating the game "normally". Unless I figure out something crazy like the battle with Zorthan :)

[@MintyDude]

@@obscurevideogameruns6250 yeah, that was prtty exciting, I also prefer playing the game the way it was intended, I only sometimes go out of bounds or skip stuff, if the circumstances call for it

[@TheRealGameCompany]

Ooh ratchet and clank 1 wrench only, drek is EXTREMELY difficult and ratchet and clank ps4 is doable but nefarious takes 6 hours according to tealgamemaster, i just stopped when i got to neffy

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Sounds horrible. Might be interested

Awesome watch, thanks.

[@AlexxxMYLSince2013]

17:15 you can aim upwards with the wrenck.

Welp, guess I'm here to stay! Enjoy a new sub! Awesome vid!

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Glad to have you!

[@numbug1234]

Does this game have a first person mode, or a way to zoom in first person like the classic entries? If yes, have you tried the wrench throw in first person? If it's like the classics, it'd let you throw the wrench upwards in first person. If it's not, then rip.

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

It has a zoom in mode, but it works quite different from the first trilogy. So unfortunatly that's no option

[@numbug1234]

@@obscurevideogameruns6250 That sucks. But I hear it's actually possible, so I take back that "rip".

I beat it with just the wrench twice! My favorite game of all time!

[@fionali4502]

You should do a wrench-only run and hammer-only run on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart next (if you have a PlayStation 5). In the meantime, there is an indie Ratchet & Clank-esque platform-shooter/Metroidvania game called Iconoclasts but I'm not sure if a wrench-only run is plausible. The main character of Iconoclasts is also a wrench-wielding mechanic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJWrnqWggthsm9k

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

If I will ever get my hands on a Ps5, I will consider that 😉

[@3DHDcat]

please re do this properly, the stratos city one in map room you had to glitch the gelenator from cobalia,then use gel to create a platform and throw the wrench

Can you beat Burnout Paradise without crashing?

[@vanilla2pac597]

What about a GTA minimum crime run?

[@sollumi3014]

i rewatched this run and ahh it made me start my own run. Not wrench only, just the starter weapons only. And oh my, this gane is really unbalanced. i realised it might be one of the gardest ratchet game, after ratchet 1 and ratchet 2 (ratchet 1 is now easy to me, but generally its much harder gane than other ones)... the amount of damage you take even in first levels of the game is just unbelievable (and this was designed to be the base difficulty of the game, for most players... abd it feels worse that hard difficulty in crack in time, that i played like last week i think, or something like that) anyway, lvl 5 combustor is already not that effective on apofee station... abd you die in 2-3 hits from enemies. in other ganes i was able to use starter weapons decently well but... thus game is really bad for it bit oh well, not sure if i will continue it soon, as i was in the middle of doing the 100% run, bit wanted to try how hard it is... it was hard i cant believe how much patience you had to do wrench only.....

Are you Dutch?

[@obscurevideogameruns6250]

Yes

[@huaq3]

👏👍

[@ben8698]

Spoiler: You can beat every ratchet game with only the wrench including the new entry Rift Apart

[@numbug1234]

Actually, Deadlocked is completely impossible. The tutorial won't even let you move unless you shoot a guy, and there's two challenges where your weapons are automatically determined that won't let you use the wrench to even deal damage, both of which are mandatory to complete.

[@superrittna6453]

@Ben I am pretty sure All for one is also impossible wrench only. The first level forces you to use weapons against the target practice things right after you have to buy the first weapon to be able to continue and the game also forces you to use weapons against the first boss. So unless someone can find some glitches that can make one skip those sections, that game is impossible wrench only.
