Hello everyone! Guess who's back 🥳 Thanks to you all for using my videos and leaving some nice comments! ❤️ I appreciate it! Please SUBSCRIBE to keep supporting my channel
I wish games like this were still hard, because when you finally complete the boss fight you have a big sense of accomplishment. Games these days are too easy
Man the part where ratchet starts walking away from clank making think that clank was just being used as a weapon and when he was broken clank felt that ratchet abandoned him just because he was injured and walking away sadly, until ratchet calls on for him as : hey I don't care if you are a broken bot, your my friend...
Clank looking back when ratchet calls him in the end brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes. They've been through so much together that they're inseparable. What a wonderful introduction to an iconic duo
edward18517 They are probably making some more games based off of the new remake and Nefarious is supposed to be the big villain of the series. Not to mention they didnt have the original Drek voice lol
"Imbeciles, after all the trouble you've gone through you're about to die right where you started. * sniff * It's so poetic." One of the most memorable final boss taunts in gaming history.
Oh Drek, they totally made you completely awful in the new game. :( Here, he's a no nonsense business man. In the new game he's your stereotypical laughing, girly voiced villain. UGH!
The only thing I didn't like about all of the new game's villains is that we barely see them; the game pretty much exclusively follows the heroes, and leaves it to the (fairly mediocre) film to flesh out the villains. Nonetheless, I understand what you're saying about Drek; here he was a ruthless businessman who was willing to poison the entirety of his own race just to get rich, whereas in the remake he's more of a bumbling fool whose genuine aim is to return the Blarg to glory, making him easy to manipulate by Nefarious.
Um, dude, costing 3 other planets to make a new planet is entirely cruel, and besides, Drek said it himself, he was only creating the new world for cash, and lots of it, and that once the inhabitants move in, he will begin polluting the new world, and then the whole starts all over again, so i think the TRUE scumbag is Chairman Drek.
Micheal Kennelly I know. They could have still kept that planet so the forced sacrifices of the other 3 don't go to waste. They could have invited the people who lost their homes to live on the new planet.
Siddiq Ismail But the race of (Insert name of Drek's race here) were evil anyway. Also there were more than 3 planets we just didn't see them. Also since the planet was about to crash into Ratchet's home planet because it hadn't been destroyed yet, causing both planets to be destroyed and 5+ planets that go to waste.
I was inspired by Oneyplays videos of them playing a Rift Apart, so I decided to start at the very beginning with Ratchet and Clank on the PS2 for the first time a couple weeks ago. Today, I just beat the game...It was really fun and very challenging, even as a an adult. I loved the character progression, the voice acting and the cartoony sense of humor. I might pick up the second game too. But for now, I'm going to savor the adventure I just had. Thanks for reading.
Ratchet and Clank is a hell of a series. I think the second game is Going Commando, then Up Your Arsenal, and then I think the Future Saga starts with Tools of Destruction. It's a fairly long series, but so much fun!
What happens if the countdown reaches zero? Does the fight just start again, or do you get to see a cutscene or something like that?! What really is heartbreaking is that Clank thinks he would be simply left alone, but they have become very close and good buddies!
Does anyone have a video of that special fail in the year I was born? Cuz I gotta see that like the mid-air free falling battle with ahmet stabbing me with his dagger in ac revelations on sequence 8.3: end of the road when I failed to defeat him as Mentor Ezio.
+duskfang1998 (im more used to the future games playstyle so this wars hard enough)i was at the robots with lasers on dreks fleet and i jsut said FK IT ima just watch the ending and move on
+Ghoffman91 I beat the game when I was 6, it was the first game I ever played. I love the series to death. I have such nostalgia and joy for the new reboot.
Something I never understood was why did they destroy Drek's new planet? Like I get that he's there and blasting it also finishes him off, and that the planet didn't have any inhabitants yet, and that it was made by destroying other worlds, but why blow it up? A planet is a planet. People could have used that world. It just seems like overkill.
Drek's plan was really stupid: all that machinery, all those mercenaries, and all those experiments could not have been cheap, and the same goes for the pollution. Even if his scheme did succeed, he'd lose more money than he stood to gain.
Well the experiments did produce results which could have made a lot the machinery probably made more money then it cost to build and maintain the pollution was probably just a bonus to him having I assume tons of factories on his planet plus he said he was paid for every square inch of the planet even for a bolt that's a lot
this moment warms my heart where he tells Clank its time to fix that arm. meaning the start of a beautiful friendship. so cute. Clank really thought the mission was over he had to leave Ratchet cause he felt like he was there just to help him reach his goal. so wholesome.
The Tesla gun helped me so much in this fight. I had a tough time back in 2002 & a tough time with this boss in 2019 on HD collection on PS3. If you're careful & use the right weapons, he's not too bad. But I remember losing my patience as a kid & getting pissed off, especially after falling to my death because game does not pause in weapon wheel.
Have to say, thought Drek was the most difficult final boss out of original R&C trilogy, beat the Protopet and Dr. Nefarious in other two, but never defeated Drek.
It's a pretty good final boss all things considered. Each stage has new attacks to keep you on your toes. First stage is just the rockets when you are playing as clank. Second stage adds the bombs which require a bit more timing to dodge when compared to the missles that just require you to move. Third stage adds the mines, so you can't just focus all your attacks on Drek. Final stage is the real boss fight with no cuts and the majority of the health. Has those mini agents of doom that you can't just avoid like the mines since these things chase you from the get go. Then he has the charge attack when you stop the planet detonation. When you get his health low enough, he will use long range cannon attack (not used by him here). Then, at the very last sliver of health, he uses those flying dart mines all over the map to give you another thing to worry about. Overall, I think what really is great about this boss fight is all the different ways you have to dodge Drek's attacks, and the options in fighting him. You can use the suck cannon to absorb all of those mines and agents of doom; you can use the tesla coil to easily clear the mines and agents of doom so that your devastator will only hit drek. You can probably do this entire boss fight on the grind rails and not have to worry about most of the attacks, but also be the furthest away from the detotanotor.
I agree with everything you say, but it's very frustrating that I have to replay the first two boss stages when failing in the third one. The third one is by far the most difficult, henceforth I'll most likely die in the third stage. Why the fuck do I have to repeat the first two stages?? It fuckin sucks and they should have included a checkpoint so that the player doesn't have to start all over again. That's just time theft.
Eventually I'm going to be uploading my special playthrough of this game soon, and I manage to beat Drek with only four nanotech, the Acid Bomb Glove (The Gold weapon upgrade, and it returns in Ratchet and Clank Size Matters as a weapon.), the Tesla Claw, and doing the Thruster Pack thrust technique even more than you did Benjamin.
8 attempts so far and I still can't beat this guy! No cash for RYNO or 30k for extra lives (only have 5)...for my sanity I've decided to give up trying to defeat him.
Use devistator and blaster, when the devastator runs low, use blaster, dodge all his attacks, don't waste ammo in his mines and robot things, aim only for him. You'll find after the devisator runs out and you're using blaster that he breaks crates which give you more devistator ammo and more blaster ammo. Its about endurance, when you run out, keep dodging until he breaks enough crates to restock your ammo. Focus primarily on dodging, worry about attacking second, hope this helps.
at least you just gave up. I recently purchased the HD ones off the PSN store since I was feeling nostalgic...overwrote my save file.... I had 30K to use the devastator and PDS for ammo. So mad. I just said screw, I could have beaten him and moved on to going commando lol
yatesy117 Took me a lot more attempts to beat him 8 years ago. But I got through, even without the R.Y.N.O. XD But fuck Drek and that battle. I hate them both so much.
Bladex2105 On Orxon, once running through the Ratchet section, the door to the original tunnel which you go through with clank opens up, inside, if you explore I think there is a path only ratchet can take, you'll find it there. It was a long time ago so I can't remember exactly what it looks like, but its there somewhere. It'll cost bolts though to upgrade health. The upgrade from 4 nanotec to 5 (Premium nanotec) isn't too expensive, but from 5 to 6 (Ultra nanotec) costs a lot. Forgot to mention, it will take the form of a vending machine with a screen on it, center of the screen is a large N.
THANK U so much for posting this boss battle walkthrough. I wasted so much time trying to beat Drek how they suggest in the 'official' Prima guide, which didn't work. Then I tried to resort to 'cheating' trying to get that hover race glitch to work, which didn't. I was going to quit this game on the LAST level rather than spend hours trolling the planets for bolts "the old fashioned way" to buy the R.Y.N.O. when all I had to do was use the weapons/techniques you did in this video. KUDOS + THUMB
For those who can't finish this level!!!! Use a devastaor, visi bomb or the blaster, when those have run out buy more using the gadgetron Pda its a shop where you can buy more weapons where ever you are, without the need of the shop near your ship . You will find it in one of the planets finish all your missions for goodies!!!
Man. The days of 8 Nanotech and no strafing. Nostalgic, but also a couple of the few things from those days I don't hold dear. I replayed the game a few years ago and this took me about an hour to beat, probably. Not the first time I played it either, I beat it a few years after it originally came out. This boss is a tough one for sure (Also I only now saw I commented on it a couple years ago too)
wow, i just remembered a memory for the first time. me and my sister were young kids trying to beat this boss together for hours on ps2 and eventually did it.
(Music Fix) "For Drek boss" After you have beat Drek as giant clank go through the teleport pad back to ratchets ship and go through the level until you get to the part with the button you have to thruster slam it. Now you must go back to the teleport pad and teleport to the platform were you fight Drek as giant clank reverse through the entire level until you find the teleport pad near the ship. Then teleport to the part were you fight Drek as giant clank again the music will still play but if you reverse to the middle of the platform were you fight Drek as clank it will reset back to the normal theme.
These PS2/PS3 era sony exclusives were something else. There's really nothing like it these days I'm glad the PS2 was my main console as a child, my original fat console is still going strong and I never got rid of any saves I need to rivisit some of my older saves and see what I did 15 years ago, something about loading a save like that and continuing like nothing happened sounds cool to me
Pootis Mun Good point, but staying on course and avoiding asteroids while he lobs mines at you can get a bit scetchy. I've beaten the game so many times, that it has little to no effect on me. However, when I was a beginner, I had more trouble beating Quark than Drek.
I finished this boss last night and took 3 hours to get 150,000 bolts for the R.Y.N.O but the most scariest thing happened while fighting him. when he spawns the microbots I would use the suck cannon to suck them up and shoot them back at him, then get stuck like that and some orange thing will be stretched across the screen and i can't see THEN there will be one microbot chasing me. It turns invisible and when i get close it turns light red with dark red wires all over it's body that look like veins and it won't die!!!! oh my god i was scared for life, has anyone else encountered this ungodly glitch?
I'm glad SOMEONE was able to defeat him, i don't have nearly enough bolts for the thunder weapon and realized there ain't enough weapons that can shoot so i got stuck
Wait... you can use the thruster pack in the middle of a jump?! I knew you could use it right after a high jump, but I never knew you could do it durring a standard jump! After all these years of playing the game, I'm still learning something new... XD
I gave up after thinking there is no chance and then watched this video and returned to it and smashed it so easily. Just jump, shoot as much as possible and predict where his next shots are coming, and then it's easy.
Wow, thanks for the info! I have that Gadgetron PDA, but I need to get more bolts. I have one upgrade for the Nanos so I can take like 5 hits. Apparently there is no Nano Health anywhere when fighting Drek . That Tesla Claw will help me a lot once I get it because I used it in Ratchet and CLank 2 and it was awesome. Good accuracy. I'll be glad once I can beat Drek so I can get those upgraded weapons.
Use the gadget to turn into a robot(idk the name) then go into the hoverboard race, everyone will disappear. Go to a set of boxes and use the sound gun to break them while you cannot see them on your screen, the boxes will keep respawning, just tape down the circle button for an hour, then buy the RYNO. Hope this helped.
Hell, I got the HD collection and I'm still on the boss on the first Ratchet and Clank! I'm thinking about going back to my childhood and playing through all the games, even the ps3 ones.
Man,this is the most epic boss in ratchet anc clank series,Nefarius its unbalance AF and you can only kill him with megacorp weapons,Lord vorzelon its also hard when playing brutal,Vox from deadlocked its also hard but Drek doesn't have difficult changes,its just the way he is
Hello everyone! Guess who's back 🥳

This boss made me rage as a kid because of how hard it was.
hard what the fuck, this boss hard xD
I wish games like this were still hard, because when you finally complete the boss fight you have a big sense of accomplishment. Games these days are too easy
A_S996 get alifr bro hard games r for losers
Noah Thomas the new games are so easy 😒
FMJ'sHD making it where u have barely any ammo isn’t hard that’s just straight up bullshit
Clanks face when Ratchet calls to him gets me everytime
I like how Drek kinda uses your own weapons against you.
a moment of silence for those who fought drek for the first time w/o the RYNO
Ahhh, 2002. This, Attack of the Clones and The Two Towers. What a great year
T'was a good era for entertainment.
Man the part where ratchet starts walking away from clank making think that clank was just being used as a weapon and when he was broken clank felt that ratchet abandoned him just because he was injured and walking away sadly, until ratchet calls on for him as : hey I don't care if you are a broken bot, your my friend...
I love how hard the final boss is in this game because when you finally beat it is so satisfying.
I think r&c2's final boss i the hardest tbh
MrCandyKingGames nVlogs
Yeah.
+MrCandyKingGames nVlogs Going Commando's boss was so disappointing. I literally killed the Protopet with Heavy Bouncer in less than 1 minute.
+Mace Hussain wheras i killed it with the ledge just before the boss with the vendor on it.
HASEnoncorperated Ikr, using the Tesla Coil makes it so fast to beat
Clank looking back when ratchet calls him in the end brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes. They've been through so much together that they're inseparable. What a wonderful introduction to an iconic duo
Final cutscene was trying to be all heartwarming, but I couldn't hear the characters over all the BOINGBOINGBOINGBOINGBOINGBOING!
So...why did they need to shove in Nefarious again and nerf the original villain?...
edward18517 They are probably making some more games based off of the new remake and Nefarious is supposed to be the big villain of the series. Not to mention they didnt have the original Drek voice lol
misterjdog still kinda sad for the Guy that
said: this is about one thing only
Cash ("cling") and tons of of it

Because it was a retelling by quark and quark loves nefarious.

Oh Drek, they totally made you completely awful in the new game. :( Here, he's a no nonsense business man. In the new game he's your stereotypical laughing, girly voiced villain. UGH!
+Gamelover254 i agree. the new drek is NOWHERE near as good as this one. i hate how they made him in the new game!
+Paden Lee Yeah... spoilers but i would of thought (somehow) he would return and be a huge threat like as a sheep/transforms back.
same here.
I think he's fine, not nearly as good as the old game, but I guess they wanted to make Nefarious the villian, give him more of a origin story
The only thing I didn't like about all of the new game's villains is that we barely see them; the game pretty much exclusively follows the heroes, and leaves it to the (fairly mediocre) film to flesh out the villains.

4:49 You know that you're a big bastard when a calm and polite guy like Clank angrily tells you that you're evil.
I beat the final boss without RYNO thumps up if you do it also.
I beat him without the RYNO in the first palythrough. And with the RYNO in the second.
That or Novalis in the other palythroughs.
I think everyone did, getting the RYNO first play through would be sooooo tedious.
Yep. There'sjust not enough time to gather that many volts.
The Boss is easy^^

Finally downed this guy today. Part at the end cutscene where Clank got all sad had me tearing up, love this game
it has so much heart for an action game.
Drek was really tough! But once you get the RYNO, he's easy.
even without ryno he is easy.
What happens if the countdown reaches zero? Does the fight just start again, or do you get to see a cutscene or something like that?! What really is heartbreaking is that Clank thinks he would be simply left alone, but they have become very close and good buddies!
You see a cutscene where a laser hits ratchet's planet and yes you have to start the battle all over again.

His eyes have changed in the newest ratchet and clank, not sure whether that was overlooked or not
+OmmoGamer A lot of eyes were changed lol
Huh. Doesn't look nearly as rage-inducing as I remember it being as a kid. I'm going to assume that you are actually just really good at this game.
I prefer the 2002 version because I love the classics more, you can never and I repeat NEVER beat the classics.
Unless it's the Resident Evil Remake of the first game...
The remake had less planets and a hopelesly weak story and characters.
@@TheAdekrijger I'm currently replaying Ratchet & Clank(2002) and i agree with you
I miss this game so much
If you have a PS3, you can by the trilogy remastered in HD.
Holy shit, I new they had it for Jak and daxter but I didn't know this too
Well, now you know :) It includes this one, Going Commando and Up your Arsenal.
buy a vita, play it on the go.

+Cheapsunglasses planets are worth a lot, just look at the magratheans: they made so much they could just lay in for tens of thousands of years.
The fact that you can’t strafe really hurts this entire game.
This is where you have to pull out all the big guns and show what you're made of.
Just hearing the music and sound effects bring back so many good ol' memories...
Drek sounds like Gantu from Lilo and Stitch.
That's because he is!
I'M ONE OF THE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU STILL IN ORIGINAL BOX WITH MANUAL ON PS2

Then I tried to resort to 'cheating' trying to get that hover race glitch to work, which didn't. I was going to quit this game on the LAST level rather than spend hours trolling the planets for bolts "the old fashioned way" to buy the R.Y.N.O. when all I had to do was use the weapons/techniques you did in this video. KUDOS + THUMB
For those who can't finish this level!!!! Use a devastaor, visi bomb or the blaster, when those have run out buy more using the gadgetron Pda its a shop where you can buy more weapons where ever you are, without the need of the shop near your ship . You will find it in one of the planets finish all your missions for goodies!!!
Your new planet home is gone, Chairman Drek. You're under arrest for the destruction of the entire planet.
The last level as well as the final boss were so, so hard as a kid! It was just on the line between a satisfying challenge and infuriating!
Once you figure out you can grind on the last platform he becomes incredibly easy.
Man. The days of 8 Nanotech and no strafing. Nostalgic, but also a couple of the few things from those days I don't hold dear.
I replayed the game a few years ago and this took me about an hour to beat, probably. Not the first time I played it either, I beat it a few years after it originally came out. This boss is a tough one for sure
(Also I only now saw I commented on it a couple years ago too)
I want to get this off ebay. Childhood memories keep coming back! Long live R & C!
+Rumpus the Grumpus Just get the HD trilogy on PS3, it's the only way you should play this awesome game
Lol, I wish, but my ps3 holds about as much space as a freaking golf ball dimple ; - ;
Rumpus the Grumpus The save files only take a few megabytes
Really?? I thought it was a crapton of GB. Thanks! I will look into this :)
Rumpus the Grumpus As long as you get the disk version
All you need for this is the Tesla claw then when you have the ryno in challenge mode your pretty much set
Playing the full game for the first time and jfc this dudes no joke
wow, i just remembered a memory for the first time. me and my sister were young kids trying to beat this boss together for hours on ps2 and eventually did it.
I know this is the first game and all but still, it's so weird hearing anyone else but James Arnold Taylor voicing Ratchet.
(Music Fix) "For Drek boss"
After you have beat Drek as giant clank go through the teleport pad back to ratchets ship and go through the level until you get to the part with the button you have to thruster slam it.
Now you must go back to the teleport pad and teleport to the platform were you fight Drek as giant clank reverse through the entire level until you find the teleport pad near the ship.
Then teleport to the part were you fight Drek as giant clank again the music will still play but if you reverse to the middle of the platform were you fight Drek as clank it will reset back to the normal theme.
So many memories, and not good ones. I remember how much i hated the locking and aiming for this game. But, I grew up playing these games
ah, good old days of ratchet and clank 1 and 2...
I am 21 yrs old and man, it took me so many save and load states in the emulator to beat this. I just played it all morning. I have no regrets.
OG R&C really IS hard 🥵 GG
I never thought I had to use claw to jump, shoot and change weapons all at once 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Also I think I'm gonna cry rewatching this ending. Dx
These PS2/PS3 era sony exclusives were something else. There's really nothing like it these days
I'm glad the PS2 was my main console as a child, my original fat console is still going strong and I never got rid of any saves
I need to rivisit some of my older saves and see what I did 15 years ago, something about loading a save like that and continuing like nothing happened sounds cool to me
honestly the hardest boss in the series
has everyone else noticed that the wrong music is playing ?
Did anyone else never know how to get more health until the final fight
I'd say Quark was the hardest boss fight in the first game, because you have to fight him in the damn jet fighter.
GodsmackAR69 Yes but yoi could just shoot far away and he wouldn't shoot back
Pootis Mun Good point, but staying on course and avoiding asteroids while he lobs mines at you can get a bit scetchy. I've beaten the game so many times, that it has little to no effect on me. However, when I was a beginner, I had more trouble beating Quark than Drek.
Interestingly, the more you lose to him the easier the fight gets (your missiles do more damage).
Another way to kill drek quickly is with the R.Y.N.O weapon.
I finished this boss last night and took 3 hours to get 150,000 bolts for the R.Y.N.O but the most scariest thing happened while fighting him. when he spawns the microbots I would use the suck cannon to suck them up and shoot them back at him, then get stuck like that and some orange thing will be stretched across the screen and i can't see THEN there will be one microbot chasing me. It turns invisible and when i get close it turns light red with dark red wires all over it's body that look like veins and it won't die!!!! oh my god i was scared for life, has anyone else encountered this ungodly glitch?
I'm glad SOMEONE was able to defeat him, i don't have nearly enough bolts for the thunder weapon and realized there ain't enough weapons that can shoot so i got stuck
With the RYNO is this Boss no Problem
Wait... you can use the thruster pack in the middle of a jump?! I knew you could use it right after a high jump, but I never knew you could do it durring a standard jump! After all these years of playing the game, I'm still learning something new... XD
Yeah only in the first game though it’s really useful
I gave up after thinking there is no chance and then watched this video and returned to it and smashed it so easily.
Just jump, shoot as much as possible and predict where his next shots are coming, and then it's easy.
My childhood
Damn I feel nostalagic watching this! I mean Ratchet and Clank have changed so much since this.
(sorry my bad english)
Wow, thanks for the info! I have that Gadgetron PDA, but I need to get more bolts. I have one upgrade for the Nanos so I can take like 5 hits. Apparently there is no Nano Health anywhere when fighting Drek .
That Tesla Claw will help me a lot once I get it because I used it in Ratchet and CLank 2 and it was awesome. Good accuracy.
I'll be glad once I can beat Drek so I can get those upgraded weapons.
This boss battle is heartwarming and awesome
Use the gadget to turn into a robot(idk the name) then go into the hoverboard race, everyone will disappear. Go to a set of boxes and use the sound gun to break them while you cannot see them on your screen, the boxes will keep respawning, just tape down the circle button for an hour, then buy the RYNO. Hope this helped.
10:57 Who all loved this ending.😂😂😂😂😂
This is where I left off on the game and never completed gosh.... it was such a pain in the ass, then again I was about 11 when I played this.
Hell, I got the HD collection and I'm still on the boss on the first Ratchet and Clank! I'm thinking about going back to my childhood and playing through all the games, even the ps3 ones.
Man,this is the most epic boss in ratchet anc clank series,Nefarius its unbalance AF and you can only kill him with megacorp weapons,Lord vorzelon its also hard when playing brutal,Vox from deadlocked its also hard but Drek doesn't have difficult changes,its just the way he is
You had 2 options as a kid, grind and rage with the weapons you had or grind out the bolts and go by the RYNO and kick his ass in nothing flat.
Who else is watching in 2019? Only 3 years to go until it’s 20th anniversary
Me
I guess it's time for Clank to visit Al's Robot Shack.
The worst part about this boss is, after you die the ammo crates dont always respawn, then i run out of ammo in all the useful guns
This bring backs many memories
