RaC2 All Plats info:

what's this category:
-this is all platinum bolts, AKA "all plats". the objective is collect all 40 platinum bolts and then beat the game.

how are you doing those really big jumps when charging?

-when you use the charge boots you can longjump, double jump or sideflip out of them in a variety of ways. the 2 main methods used in all plats are:

doing a ground wrench attack while charging and then jumping out of it, very similar to whip jumping in Ratchet 3; usually used for big distances
throwing a decoy when charging which lets you cancel the charge and jump much earlier than wrench jumps; usually done for smaller gaps and jumps

how are you clipping through walls?
-going into first person and throwing a decoy at a precise downwards angle makes me go inside the decoy which i can use to push me through walls. it's by far the most used thing in this entire run besides the chargeboots.

do you need regular bolts at all in this run?
-yes. for all plats we do need bolts but not too often throughout the run. the only uses for bolts are for buying gadgets or weapons:
buying the levitator in joba
buying the shield charger in snivelak
buying the decoy glove in barlow
buying coordinates for a handful of planets
buying ammo all over the place during the run

the only weapons we buy are the shield charger (in order to not get one hit killed by everything in the endgame) and the decoy glove for clipping through walls and doing decoy jumps. the only other weapon we get is the sheepinator, which we get by clipping into its room in todano anyways so no bolts are required.

what the fuck are you doing with the sheepinator and the bosses in snivelak/yeedil?
-for the snivelak boss i am clipping through the wall and to where the boss is and i stand behind him without triggering the cutscene that starts the fight. i then use the sheepinator on him until he turns into a sheep, i hit him once and then activate the cutscene. but because i sheepinated him, the game considers that he died and so i instantly win the fight as soon as it starts.

for the protopet in yeedil it's a little different. I stand on the egde of the arena to lure the protopet into ramming me and doing a certain attack in which he eats an ammo box that spawns on the arena and then starts barfing out smaller protopet enemies. as soon as the ammo box spawns i snipe it and destroy it, and so the protopet starts flinging smaller enemies immediately, however since i am standing at the edge and so is he, the protopets he spawns fall off and instantly die, and since his attack never stops until a certain amount of protopets are alive, he will continue doing that attack off the edge forever in which i can then shoot him with my heavy lancer a bit and then use the sheepinator on him until he dies, making for a very easy and cheap boss kill, since it would be practically impossible to beat the protopet through regular means.
