Segment 12: Gemlik Base (Oltanis infobot)

Gemlik Base was equal to Umbris in time spent looking for glitches. Time to buy the Devastator and start this run proper! I first got the plan not to buy it after abusing the hyperstrike's homing-to-box ability. Some rare times, I would land on the wall and even jump again! It wasted time. I'm thankful that the rafters were solid (no doubt because of the visibomb gun's capabilities) after that S-I and slope-thrust abuse. The longest jump in the game by Ratchet is the jump-pause-flip-pause-thrust-glide-hyperstrike, or JPFPTGH. I don't need the hyperstrike here, or anywhere else in the run. The turrets won't shoot if you're off the edge of the platform, or on the railing. Death abuse for health and some-what-warp.

Stepping on the very edge of the button allows Ratchet to reach the elevator door before it sinks into the floor/ceiling, so I fall off early. That can be used to land back in there right-side-up. Lots of high- and mid- worth bolts.

This Quark battle is something to behold. The way I take out his protecting fleet, the timing of missiles, the actually-fighting-him. Another lucky skip based on a wild goose chase. I decided to see if the Drek ship would be there, invisible, but solid, without fighting Quark. Nothing. I step off the platform onto the runway and the red lights hit! I thought Insomniac would descend from the heavens to congratulate me, or anything as awesome. Even better than that. The light is the burners from Quark's ship taking off in slow-mo. They keep going and are cool to watch cast their glow over the stage. The magic that ensued was I tried to jump back to the rest of the stage, but came short. I died, respawned, then cutscenes started to pour. I had averted another boss. I was so satisfied, I postponed the run another two months. If I was good enough at the game to make it back, I would have never learned to skip him. Who says practice makes perfect?

You land at an angle while holding crouch and mashing jump.

True, the timing of the missiles were vital to you beating Qwark so fast.
