/vr/ - Retro Games

I thing the longest real grind I ever did for a single item was buying the RYNO2 early in Ratchet and Clank 2.

I was just replaying the games on the Vita version and I thought it would be a fun novelty to grind the bolts to get the RYNO2 as soon as it's available. Because the quantity of bolts you get scales depending on how many you have, I worked out that the best way of doing it was to just endlessly replay the 30 second challenge in the first arena since it always rewards at least 500 bolts and only takes like 20 seconds or so to beat. Probably took me like 15 hours or so of just spinning around in a circle with the lancer to shoot every enemy and repeat the mission. (btw the victory counter overflows at 255 so this screenshot was waaay more than 146 wins)

Doing that was incredibly autistic but it was a pretty fun novelty playing through the game just stomping everything with the RYNO on the new save. Literally the only enemy that didn't just get instantly deleted was the Gigantomech (which was a problem)

I want to do this again next time I replay the PS2 version.
