Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart All Gold Bolt Locations

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart has 25 Gold Bolt Locations. Finding all Gold Bolts unlocks various Cheats, including Infinite Ammo, Infinite Health and Gold Weapons. For trophies you only need to find 5 Gold Bolts to get trophy Nooks and Crannies, so not all of them are required.

They are a type of Collectible that gets marked on the map when you go near it. They look like golden shining bolts. You can keep track of your progress via the Collectible Menu and also via the World Map.

There are 2-3 Gold Bolts per Planet (9 Planets in total). None of the Gold Bolts are missable, you can still get all of them after the story by resuming the game from the title screen and it will put you back before the endboss. Then you can backtrack to all their locations. You get a spaceship after the 2nd planet and then you can fly back to old planets any time.

Planet 1: Corson V

Gold Bolt #1
After you meet the Ms. Zurkon weapon vendor in the market area, head to the right and go up the magnetic boot ramp, follow the path to reach the factory entrance that has an optional objective marker on it. From where you enter the factory, look straight ahead and go to the assembly line at the end of the room where boxes go up a ramp and disappear behind a laser grid. On this assembly line are some big moving boxes. Jump on the side of one such box when it passes by the last “balcony” in the room. Then “wall jump” from the side of the box to the balcony above it. You only have a short time window because the box is moving, but you can simply wait for the next box if you miss. It’s easiest when you are standing on the production line behind the box, facing in the direction it’s moving in. Now that you’re on the balcony you should see a wall with blue hexagon patterns on it, you can wall-jump up there. Once at the top, turn around to see the bolt (before going into next room). You can jump on the production lines at the top of the room and glide around the big boxes that are coming your way until you reach the bolt at the end.
