Need help escaping the factory with Clank? Follow this guide to navigate past laser grids, power generators, and Victor Von Ion's attacks in Ratchet & Clank (2016).

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You start off controlling Clank. Make your way down to the other end of the area to reach the next section.
  2. 2
    Grab the BOMB nearby and use it to destroy the VENT blocking your path.
  3. 3
    Next, grab the SPRING BOT and toss it towards the ARROW. Jump on the Spring Bot to reach the platform above.
  4. 4
    Grab another BOMB and use it to destroy the VENT, allowing you to proceed.
  5. 5
    After this, you'll be chased by Victor Von Ion. He has two main attacks during this chase:
    • The Sweeping Laser: This is fairly easy to dodge – just jump over it when it's about to hit you.
  6. 6
    Missile Lock-On: When the targeting reticle turns red, double jump to avoid the incoming missile.
  7. 7
    Keep evading Victor's attacks until he slashes a pipe, releasing water. Use a BOMB to destroy the VENT and continue.
  8. 8
    You'll encounter a POWER BOT. Use it to power up the generator, which will open the door ahead.
  9. 9
    Go grab a SPRING BOT and toss it to the left. Jump on it to reach the area above.
  10. 10
    You'll find another POWER BOT here. Use it to power up the generator and open the next DOOR.
  11. 11
    Hit the switch to extend the bridge, allowing you to cross.
  12. 12
    Use the SPRING BOT on the other side to get up to the higher platform.
  13. 13
    Grab the BOMB and use it to destroy the VENT at the end of the bridge.
  14. 14
    Victor Von Ion will reappear for another chase sequence. His attacks are faster this time, and he gains a new move:
    • Missile Barrage: He'll shoot missiles into the air that land on the ground, leaving trails of fire.
  15. 15
    Just like the first chase, keep evading his attacks until he hits a WATER PIPE.
  16. 16
    Use a BOMB to get through the VENT, and watch the cutscene to end this section.
Tips
  • Pay close attention to Victor Von Ion's attack patterns. The Sweeping Laser is telegraphed, and the Missile Lock-On requires a well-timed double jump.
  • The Spring Bot is your key to vertical traversal. Always look for opportunities to use it to reach higher platforms.
  • Bomb Bots are essential for destroying vents. Make sure you always have one nearby when you see a vent.
