Gold Bolts in Ratchet & Clank
Ratchet & Clank’s bolts aren’t the only currency in town. There are also special Gold Bolts that you can find. These are much rarer and aren’t used for weapon upgrades at all. They’re actually used in a special part of the menu.
In order to get Gold Bolts, you’re going to need to go through areas you normally wouldn’t go through. This often times will mean backtracking, opening up combustible walls, heading through unbeaten paths, and even swimming through some depths with your O2 mask. Gold Bolts will be absolutely everywhere and it’s important to keep your eyes peeled for areas that are accessible, yet don’t coincide with where your objective wants you to go.
A very good gadget to have is the Map-O-Matic in this regard. It will highlight on your map any points of interest or collectibles you might not have gotten. This includes Gold Bolts. In order to get the Map-O-Matic, you must fully ride the grindrail on the Kalebo III planet and hit all four switches. At the end of your ride will be the container holding your Map-O-Matic. Enjoy!
Where to Use Gold Bolts in Ratchet & Clank
In order to use your Gold Bolts, you simply have to get them. That’s right. Any and all Gold Bolts earned will be applied to different unlockables within the Extras menu. Head over there by hitting Options and scrolling to Extras. You’ll see Image Galleries, Appearance Settings, and Cheats. Each one can be chosen and has a plethora of different options. You’ll unlock them the more Gold Bolts you find and using them up to buy one setting won’t change that you’ve gotten them, by the way. You’ll be able to get every single one in one go, provided you find all 28 Gold Bolts in the game. Image Galleries are exactly as they sound, Appearance Settings change anything from the filter on the world to the head on Ratchet, and Cheats are exactly that.
Enjoy your wacky new options and get those Gold Bolts!
