Planet Orxon in Ratchet & Clank is one of the most infamous planets in the game for many reasons. In today's video we will be taking a deep dive into the unsolved mystery of this toxic planet.
Massive thanks to isaki for all the help in the creation phase of the video.
Also special thanks to doesthisusername, onetabloid, nanohologuise, mantodea and everyone else in the community.

i need more
feed me more
There will be more, but they take a while to make 😁
it's you.
@@ThaRixer doing a game design course at university, could you not just build up speed on the elevator using the video clank anim reset?
@@ThaRixer Thank you! All I needed to hear and I'm subscribed and going to patiently wait for your amazing content.
Yassss
Could it be... one of Nature's Mysteries?!
Bruh 😂
Perfect
That cutscene is directly responsible for my terribly sarcastic jokes now.
he was holdin a bananer
@@Alucaidt or maybe it wasn't a banana...
Ngl i thought this video was going to be a deep look into the rachet and clank lore. and what secrets it holds. turns out it was about a speedrun strategy. I'm not dissapointed though
Same XD
I'm kind of disappointed
Well thanks for saving me 19 minutes
I'm not dissapointed either, actually, this was a look into the ratchet and clank speedrunning community, a very tight and close community of people helping eachother in order to reach a common goal.
If that isn't at least a bit interesting and heartwarming then I don't know what is.
Same. I still watched it but this wasn't what I was expecting.
It’s very fitting that Clank would try very hard to skip Pokitaru as he didn’t even want to show Ratchet the infobot for the planet in the first place

I'm not even a speedrunner, but this makes me want to pick up the game just to find a way to get to location 2
Next video will be about how Wes Hansen solved Poki Skip and found location 2
@@ThaRixer I’m curious to see how he did it. If it’s the same idea I got watching this video that’d be quite interesting
@@ThaRixer can’t wait!
@@ThaRixer Sweetness!!
@@dracyo3564 god I hope you aren't actually this dumb IRL
and exactly 3 years later, it was found. crazy!
If there's one type of glitch that I like in video games, it's getting other characters into character-exclusive paths.
@Retendo Why yes, I do.
@Retendo And Sonic 06.
I am glad that og ratchet and clank is still getting love
Imo, it's the absolute best one
The junky aesthetic and themes are never the same on the sequels
@@crangejo I disagree that it’s the best but yeah it has a really distinct art style to the sequels even 2 which if like 2 months apart in the games story it looks a lot more futuristic
@@zapunknown 2 is set in a different galaxy so that kind of makes sense, although 3 is set in the same galaxy as 1 and that looks futuristic as well so... Eh
@@crangejo Mate, you are the only person i've ever seen that agrees with me- I didn't need the validation, but it feels fucking good.
@@zapunknown the worst part is how that escalated so now Ratchet & Clank is just another SciFi piece of media... There's nothing that makes it really distinct anymore
We need Koan's second coming
You know Koan sounds similar to Qanon? Coincidence? I THINK NOT
maybe
@@koan1095 holy fuck he’s real. God bless you, you god

Return of the king
The soundtrack of this game really brings me back. So unique.
Definitely something the new games are missing.
@@broggie123 Yeah. The newer OST's aren't carbon copies of the older ones
Theres just a certain magic to ratchet n clank 1 that ive never seen replicated.
Yeah i feel ya.
R&C2 and 3 just feel to much like shooter games.
This one feels much more like you're exploring a big universe with multiple paths to take.
that's the power of nostalgia my friend. I'm with you though, it's probably the best platformer of all time
The music soundtrack is a big part of it. It's a masterpiece.
it's the detail to the level design...
The sequels might have looked better graphically, but not visually/atmospherically
Yeah I've always felt this way, even though Going Commando is technically a "better" game, it just doesn't have the same vibe.
Something I've noticed about speedrunners is that even when talking, they want to take the least possible time. It's not Pokitaru Skip, it's Pokiskip.
Let alone listing everything else you are also skipping by skipping pokitaru
Speakiskip

>Makes video about it

Ive lost track how many times ive watched this video and the Hoven one. They put me in a cosy nostalgic mood. The soundstracks, the visuals. Its just so fucking good
OMG Crimzon! Me too!
I fu**ing loved the first ratchet and clank when I was a kid. It was the biggest leap in graphics I had witnessed at the time, and the fluid motion in the animation was amazing to me. Great memory from my childhood.
Dude, I’ve been a die hard R&C fan since I got my PS2 in 2005 and played UYA first. It astounds me that there are people who still enjoy this game for what it is and what it means to the community!
Ratchet & Clank's Solved Mystery coming soon
Let's be honest here, is there anything more interesting and fascinating to watch than speedrun documentaries, record history and mechanics investigations?
Absolutely love these channels, Rixer deserves way more subscribers with the quality content he's been putting out.
Thanks man!
UA-camr Bismuth goes REALLY in depth into speedrunning mechanics. I am a casual gamer so it’s easy for me to get lost in the jargon and coding mumbo jumbo but I still find it interesting.
Plot twist: Koan is the developer himself
Themselves
@@JosephQPublic No.
I FOUND POKI SKIP!!!
[Official sources say this claim is false.]
Hope someone gets bored enough by the quarantine
The amount of comments of people saying they found parts of Poki skip(on accident as a child) in here is actually crazy and makes me remember how much I hate liars.
@@CorruptInfinityOfficial no way to verify it the truth of such claims though.
HOW TO DO POKI SKIP:
git gud lul
@J.R. Spingly you're so stupid
Who else had to rewatch this now that the skip has been found?
me
@@Shadow0_0135me
they found the 2nd infobot position??
@@fyeezeyes
@@Shadow0_0135 who posted it
I don't even speedrun and found this interesting. Well edited and narrated video, also glad the original R&C still gets content.
I absolutely love the free cam shots. Amazing work on this one.
I think my favorite type of person is someone who just shows up out of nowhere and solves something or even just posts something funny and just disappears without even asking for anything.
They are absolute saints.
This video gives me chills man, and I dunno why. I feel uneasy watching this, like it's some forbidden knowledge.
i am so happy this ended up in my recommended honestly. i have never done a speed run in my life let alone played ratchet and clank in such a long time. BUT THIS, this is so fascinating to watch thank you!
Glad you liked it!
it took 10 years to solve the mystery
Done.
Ratchet & Clank's Solved Mystery!
koan is like the avatar of the ratched & clank speedrunning community.
He vanished. Will he return?
Wellp it will be 100 years of waiting, it would be better if I was looking for something to do until then
Clicked expecting a lore video. Got a speedrunning video.
Not disappointed.
I'm so happy youtube recommendations brought me here
Me too but I don't think it is enough to make up for the other things the recommendations do
Same
Honestly having a fewest planets save file would be cool
I really want a low% run of RAC
@@ZPixel17well, poki skip was actually done now. Unfortunately only in NG+
@@ZPixel17a low% run would only get the helipack, pilots helmet and the o2 mask. Doing Veldin 2 with only the helipack is brutal, if thats not enough you fight drek with only 40 bombs and your wrench. Ammo only spawns when you have 3 weapons that use ammo and you below 50%. You get the thrusterpack automaticly in the last phase of drek but its not actualy in your inventory.
Not gonna lie, I was expecting a lore or story kystery, not a speedrunning tech video. Still interesting though.
There is a comment right above you that says the same thing. Coincidence?
@@thelostmessenger people often make comments before checking others. Also some may rise up later for one reason or another
Kystery
@@ToxicTurquoise454 aw damn, I've been misspelling that for over a year now? How foolish of me.
Ratchet just sitting in his ship, watching Clank do all those glitch tricks thinking WTF is he doin.
It's done.
:QwarkEye:
I appreciate your passion for this and making such a good and comprehensible video about it
By entering 285 frame perfect inputs, I arrived here early.
I'm still stuck on the "prepare a snack before video" objective.
I love these videos. I haven't watched a speedrun in a year and frankly I've lost my interest, but these videos are so much more than just about speedrunning. It's like watching a movie... You really do make every second captivating and interesting.
ITS REALLLLL
The MGS2 music though.
It fits so well here.
Twilight Sniping can create so many different emotions, such a great track
Well this video aged well
I know I'll never need these speedruns to do myself, but my love for R&C has brought me here. So great to see the R&C community is so active. Oh and the music, such nostalgia!
I absolutely love Channels like you man, so much easy to ingest info and it’s all presented in such an impactful way. You really hyped up the discoveries these guys made :))))
Thank you!
I like how you actually explained everything as if nobody knew what the game was. Really helps you take into account everything that's necessary to know the speedrunning shenanigans in Orxon. These kinds of videos are awesome, this actually makes me wanna go back to speedrunning this amazing franchise.
This was dope! I remember hearing about Poki Skip a while back, and I found it fascinating, but I didn't know any of the details about how to get to any of the positions. I hope to see a human possible version completed someday
Just to know. It has been solved now ✅
OMG WHERE????
WHEN? can you send the link video?
I'd love to see a follow up to this video. Even if they didn't find anything that works yet. Just another look at things that have been tried and why they didn't work.
Koan just showed up and dropped the final solution like a gift from the gods. What a legend.
"Ok so how long did it take you to complete Ratchet and clank"
"well so far we're up to 19 years, but we're hopeful to finish this last glitch"
That MGS music though.. man this entire video takes me back years.
I've actually always wondered about this myself since I was a kid. I had no idea efforts were being made to find the elusive poki(W) skip
Great video as always Ricky, looking forward to more!
Awesome video man, really enjoyed it.
I seriously cannot fathom how people figure this shit out, but I always love watching speed runs to see how my favorite games can be broken
Thank you for reminding me how amazing the soundtrack for the first game is....... also very detailed and well made video in it's own right once again, Rixter!
Great vid, always appreciating the uploads mate :D
I think the key might be in position 3's tower. Maybe theres some iffy collision that might be used for a proxy, or maybe some invisible collision higher up that would let you big jump and glide there.
Edit: I have an idea with the elevator! Right when you're about to get launched, just punch! Clank gets a small speed boost, although it would have to be perfectly timed, as it takes a bit of wind up, and, let's be real, it probably wouldnt send you far enough, but it would at least make that part faster and potentially safer if you get the timing down.
I think that somebody should make a mod that highlights all pieces of collision. I dont know if this is commonly used, but modders could use that to find the spots where theres invisible or unpredictable collision, then apply that knowledge to speed running.
Videos like this show how speedrunning is a beautiful collaboration of gamers with a shared passion to finish a game (potentially) faster
Other people: Man, can't wait to find something out about a game I have nostalgia for
Me: Man, can't wait to get really into something I had no contact with as a kid because someone else says there's mysteries unsolved in it
Never too late to join in the fandom, friend
The algorithm brought me here despite having never played this game, it was an enthralling video nonetheless
The moment I saw the cloudy green orb, heard the music.
Nostalgia swept over me.
Dude ive wanted to know more about this strategy for years, thanks for making this vid
Your dedication is really absurd, and your videos are so great that even if i don’t belong to the world of speedrunnig, i kinda cannot stop to watch. Keep it goin’, and all i have to say is, thank you for your products!
Where's Touval, he'd figure this out in a day or two, tops.
I was looking at the comments making sure nobody else said that first cuz I was gonna comment it
Honest shit:
I started watching your chanel because of Jak speedruns, both that game and R&C have been the games of my childhood. I still remember just how it felt turning my ps2 on after homework to play these masterpieces, and after about 5 years of watching your videos from time to time I still love them, I still thank you for what you do and most importantly for breaking the shit of my childhood most fav games. Keep up the good work man.
Also, has all this been tried on ps2, both pal and ntsc? Since it's already slower it might be worth a look into if not done so already.
PLEASE keep breaking down mysteries, new strats, and historical moments in speed running- i love the concept and i could never do it myself, but im DESPERATE to know more. Watching GDQ stuff is fun, but having the history and the how and why explained gets me so hype. You explain things and show them in ways that are so so interesting, and makes it make sense even when ive never even PLAYED the game. I love it!
This is definitely your best video! It's informative, engaging, nicely presented, succinct and well researched. Thank you for the effort you put into this! If you keep this up, I'm certain you'll go far.
Well this aged well lmao
I really appreciate the metal gear solid 2 soundtrack being included, really is a perfect fit for a video like this👌
I thought this was gonna be involving lore but I left more satisfied than I ever expected from a speedrun based mystery
I love u for still bringing this game in the radar. Always been my childhood series of games
Once I saw Orxon, I knew what you were going to talk about.
Right? Never even made it to the first info bot location. But I know we all tried whenever we'd been through the game and knew how it worked.
god this is so cool, amazing work
i love ratchet franchise it's one of my first and best games from childhood alongside with jak, ur content just pop up out of nowhere on my yt and i can't stop watching this stuff, grate work mate
I’m so stoked I had no idea there were people as obsessed with this game as I am. I sort of was afraid to check because I know communities exist for other games but I was worried I would check and there would be no community, speed running or otherwise
30 Seconds in can already tell this is a good vid
I have never cared about speedrunning really
But the sheer presentation value of this video ...
Man I seriously got goosebumps all over when the koaN video hit
It seriously felt like he saved the fucking world.
great video, cheers
Another amazing video Ricky! You never cease to amaze me. One thing I love is the camera work you do for the panoramic shots in your videos. They are sooo pretty and just a pleasure to look at as you explain all the details.
I really wish you success here on UA-cam and on Twitch. It's clear that you are very passionate about all this and let me say it, you are insanely good at it! So I truly mean it when I say it, my man!
Your one of those few channels that I've discovered and instantly went video to video watching them all day :) Amazing stuff man I'm subscribing and keeping up to date as soon as your next masterpiece is done :)
This video got me into rac speedrunning, I now have optimised the PS4 run by 35 seconds. Thanks ricky B)
I love how accessable you make your videos to new and old audiences alike whilst still keeping the content interesting and engaging, amazing work!

How do you go from TheGuy to Chloe?
Just found this channel today and it’s great please keep doing this
Ty! I will 😁
Awesome video, not even a speed runner and I really enjoyed. Subbed.
I thought it was going to a dark secret or something. Turns out it was a speedrun video. Not disappointed,
This video was so so intersting, thank you 👍
This is so pleasant to watch, cant wait to see the mystery solved.
Came for a video about R&C Mystery and secrets in development
Stayed for this excellent video about R&C speedrun knowledge, please do more!
The dedication to something that was proven to be useless for it's intended purpose speedrunners are insane
Having known koaN for a long time now i find this hilarious
You gain a new appreciation for the speedrunners of the game after how much they are working to find even the smallest things that can cut down the time.

This is so interesting to me, I always wondered if there was a way to play ratchet's part of the level as clank, but I never would've thought you could do all of this. I kind of want to try and find a way to get to location 2 now lol, that'd be so cool to find. Obviously I wouldn't be able to do it as i'm not a speedrunner but the madlad koaN did it so who knows
Super interesting ! I love your videos on the history of speedrunning
What a great work !!
Love the content. Not even a speedrunner, but you can tell the stories so well
I always loved Orxon in the original, it was so full of mystery
I’m not very familiar with speed running this game, but wouldn’t you need the Pilot’s Helmet to fight Qwark anyway?
They probably wouldn’t have put the need for it in the game because you’re not supposed to progress to there without the helmet anyway
if that happens it will be a bruh moment
Like wait ratchet just has the helmet now 😂 what?
U can skip the fight entirely
If I had to guess, the game probably only checks for the helmet for the first fighter mission. The 2nd and 3rd probably don't cause it's not supposed to be possible to get there without it.
That said, the 2nd and 3rd fighter missions are skippable anyway.
This has always been my favorite planet I remember how excited I was when it returned in deadlocked
my favorite childhood game, literally my number 1, u made this video so interesting and cool and professional, left a like for u fam

Played this planets a thousand times
