Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Planet Veldin: Requires Magneboots. Find an ionized path near Grim's garage on an optional path. The Gold Bolt is at the end of this path.
  2. 2
    Planet Kerwan: After climbing stairs to the train station, look right for large crates. Jump on the one with arrows, then long jump to the wall of crates to find the Gold Bolt behind them.
  3. 3
    Planet Kerwan: Receive this Gold Bolt as a reward for completing the Rangers’ training course. It is located at the end of the course.
  4. 4
    Planet Aridia: On the path with Sandsharks, find a metal gate. Follow the wall to a Sandshark generator in an alcove. Destroy the rock wall with gaps using a Fusion Grenade to access a tunnel with the Gold Bolt.
  5. 5
    Planet Aridia: Located near where you get the Hydrodisplacer gadget at the end of the Swingshot course. After draining the first pool of water and dropping down, the Gold Bolt is underneath the water.
  6. 6
    Planet Aridia: Requires Magneboots and Thrusterpack. In the area where Skidd’s Agent was rescued, use the Magneboots track to reach a Thrusterpack bolt crank. Use it to create Swingshot targets leading to an island with the Gold Bolt in a dumptruck.
  7. 7
    Nebula G34: In the round room with "locked cells" and frog-like enemies on the path to the Blargian Snagglebeast, clear the enemies. High jump to the ledge on the right (from the entrance) to find the Gold Bolt in an open cell.
  8. 8
    Planet Rilgar: Requires O2 Mask. In the sewers section, during a timed rising water event, find a hidden entrance underwater near a ramp and curvy path. This leads to a secret area with the Gold Bolt.
  9. 9
    Planet Rilgar: In the city's maze-like area blocked by barriers, one barrier in a corner remains. On the opposite side of the entrance, jump on a blue pillar to get on top of the maze. Navigate the thin platforms to the corner to find the Gold Bolt.
  10. 10
    Planet Rilgar: During the hoverboard race, on any cup, take the upper path with boost rings before a short tunnel. The Gold Bolt is behind a boost ring just as you enter the tunnel.
  11. 11
    Planet Gaspar: In the upper right corner of the map, a small square island holds the Gold Bolt in its center. Wait for lava eruptions to subside to collect it with the Jetpack.
  12. 12
    Planet Gaspar: West of the brain scientist, on a large island, head north to a small, isolated island. This is the starting point to find the Gold Bolt in an unmarked area at a higher elevation.
  13. 13
    Planet Gaspar: In the southwest corner of the map, near three isolated brains, the Gold Bolt is protected by a barrier. Touch three red pads within 15 seconds to disable the barrier.
  14. 14
    Planet Gaspar: From the Grindboots location, fly to a platform with a Magneboots trail. This leads into a cave with Blargs and Warbots. At the end, hit three switches to lower an elevator and deactivate the forcefield around the Gold Bolt at the top.
  15. 15
    Planet Batalia: On top of a building with a Trespasser puzzle near the start. Wall jump using the entryway to reach the top and grab the Gold Bolt.
  16. 16
    Planet Batalia: Where a bolt crank creates a bridge for Cora, instead of sliding down the icy path, go to the other side and follow the path around the mountain wall to find the Gold Bolt.
  17. 17
    Planet Batalia: In the fort area near the end, high on a ledge. Climb a staircase made of crates in one corner, or jump from an outside ledge to reach it.
  18. 18
    Planet Quartu: During the Clank section, in the final room, the Gold Bolt is behind a metal grate. Use three bots: one as a spring to get on a crate, build a bridge, and place another springbot. Grab a bomb from the previous room to destroy the grate.
  19. 19
    Planet Quartu: In the area where Mrs. Zurkon is fought, the Gold Bolt is behind a barrier in the central structure. Find a room with a switch on the upper west side of the map. Hit the switch, then use the Jetpack to reach the Gold Bolt.
  20. 20
    Planet Quartu: In the same area as Mrs. Zurkon, a Trespasser puzzle door in the upper levels opens to a familiar area from the beginning of the game. Solve the puzzle, turn a bolt crank, and fly to grab the Gold Bolt.
  21. 21
    Planet Pokitaru: Obtained as part of the optional "Top of the Waterfall" objective. The Gold Bolt appears after defeating the Telepathopus.
  22. 22
    Planet Pokitaru: Where you activate a bridge for Felton, jump into the water to the left of the bridge's start. The Gold Bolt is straight down.
  23. 23
    Planet Pokitaru: On a lone island in the ocean, east side of the map, south of the northeastern corner. Climb the island to find the Gold Bolt at the top.
  24. 24
    Planet Kalebo III: On the grindrail section, activate four switches on the track (hit with wrench). The first is after the second short tunnel. Jump to another set of tracks for the second and third switches. The final switch is before a forcefield near the long train car section. Follow the track to get the Gold Bolt.
  25. 25
    Planet Kalebo III: On the normal route, after rotating a room, a Gold Bolt is on a small ledge. Jump from the elevator when it's at the top to a connecting ledge to reach it.
  26. 26
    Planet Kalebo III: During the hoverboard race. Use the first shortcut (pass through three rings). Boost jump off a ramp to the right of the tunnel to find a track with three rings for the second shortcut. At the end of this path is a booster to reach the actual shortcut, where the Gold Bolt is in plain sight.
  27. 27
    Deplanetizer: Wait until your second visit. In Drek’s office (room with small planets), hit a wall switch to lower bars. Climb them, jump across moving platforms to the Gold Bolt.
  28. 28
    Deplanetizer: In the room with two golden Drek statues, climb two rectangular crates with a blue symbol to reach grab bars. These lead to a ledge above. Ride two moving platforms to get the Gold Bolt.
Tips

  • Some Gold Bolts are missable if not collected on the first visit and require specific gadgets to access later.
  • The Deplanetizer Gold Bolts are best collected on the second visit.
