On Zanifar, Ratchet uses a time portal created by Sigmund to travel back in time and attempt to rescue Orvus, who is being tortured by Nefarious for information on how to enter the Chamber, the central control room of the Clock. Ratchet and Azimuth find the Eye and use it to communicate with Clank, who brings them up to speed about Orvus' plight and implores them to go to planet Zanifar to save his father. The General plans to change what happened by using the Clock to rewrite history, allowing Ratchet the chance to get his family back. Whilst searching for the Eye on planet Lumos, Azimuth hesitantly explains that he was indirectly responsible for the near-extinction of the Lombaxes when he gave Tachyon their technology and was exiled for his crimes. In the Clock itself, Clank learns from an eavesdrop on Sigmund that the real Orvus disappeared two years ago after agreeing to meet with Dr. Azimuth guesses that Clank has been taken to the Clock based on his own research and the Lombaxes decide to team up to find another Obsidian Eye in the hopes of being able to talk to Clank. He is revealed to be another Lombax left behind when the race fled Tachyon's vendetta and was a good friend of Ratchet's father Kaden. On planet Torren IV, with some intel from Qwark, Ratchet tracks down Azimuth.

He reveals that he is Clank's true creator and that he now leaves the Clock in his care. Clank also meets Orvus, a Zoni and the Clock's designer, who converses with the robot as a digital program in his subconsciousness. Sigmund helps Clank learn more about the Clock's function, to maintain temporal normality across the universe, and also asks for his help in repairing the temporal damage across multiple planets caused by Nefarious. Meanwhile, Clank is revived by Sigmund, the Junior Caretaker of the Great Clock. Realizing that Azimuth could be a potential ally, he decides to track him down. After both the Fongoids and Qwark are captured, Ratchet repairs his ship with help from the Zoni and journeys to Vorselon's warship to rescue the hostages. Lord Vorselon, Nefarious' personal assassin, launches an attack on the planet's Fongoid population in search of someone named Alister Azimuth, mistaking Ratchet for them. He is eventually cornered by Nefarious, who reveals that he has been taken somewhere called the Great Clock, a Zoni construct designed to keep time and located in the center of the universe ('give or take fifty feet'), before being immobilized.Р”Р„t the same time, Ratchet and Captain Qwark are struck by a mysterious anomaly and crash-land on the planet Quantos in their search for Clank. When the Zoni deny him access, Nefarious betrays them and chases them away with his robotic forces, inadvertently allowing Clank to escape. In truth, the doctor is using the partnership as a front to find the key to a room called the 'Orvus Chamber' from Clank's memories. Nefarious has been assigned by the Zoni to repair Clank. Each weapon can be modified with additional features and altered in appearance to make a weapon unique to the player.Р”Р‡ollowing the events of Quest for Booty, Dr. These fall into three main categories shotgun, bomb, and pistol. The game also has new weapons known as Constructo Weapons. The ship's blasters, missiles, and armor can also be upgraded by obtaining additional Zoni.

In a noticeable departure from all previous games in the series, Ratchet can now fly his ship freely between planets on a two-dimensional ecliptic in various zones, going to small moons and completing optional challenges, earning special items such as Zoni, gold bolts, and weapon mods in the process. In addition to gadgets like the Swingshot and Gravity Boots from previous games, Ratchet has a pair of hoverboots, allowing him to move more quickly around planets and moons. These holographic Clanks can help to solve puzzles. Up to four copies of Clank can be recorded at a time. By using special 'time pads', Clank can also record up to a minute of his actions and then a holographic Clank replays them, while the real Clank does something else. This device may also be used like Ratchet's wrench, to fight off enemies.

One such mechanic involves the Chronosceptor: A staff that repairs broken objects when you hit a broken object with it. See also: Common gameplay elements in the Ratchet and Clank seriesР”Р„ Crack in Time game features both returning and new gameplay mechanics to the Ratchet & Clank series.
