Silver Cup - The Mangling | Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart | Walkthrough, No Commentary, 4K

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a visually stunning action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation 5. It continues the beloved series by following the Lombax mechanic Ratchet and his robotic companion Clank as they navigate dimensional rifts caused by the villainous Dr. Nefarious. The game introduces Rivet, a new playable female Lombax from another dimension, and leverages the PS5’s advanced hardware for near-instant loading, ray tracing, and immersive haptic feedback through the DualSense controller. With a blend of platforming, puzzle-solving, combat, and inventive weaponry, Rift Apart offers a fresh yet familiar experience for fans and newcomers alike. Within this rich world lies the Silver Cup, a series of optional combat challenges hosted at Zurkie’s Battleplex in Rivet’s dimension. One of the most demanding Silver Cup contests is “The Mangling,” a survival-style battle where players face five waves of enemies while contending with a formidable mechanical foe known as the Mangler. This hovering, blade-equipped robotic menace relentlessly pursues the player, using sweeping attacks that can be anticipated by orange indicators on the arena floor. Players must utilize quick reflexes and maneuvers like the Phantom Dash to evade its deadly strikes. The waves initially feature agile swarmer enemies called Cutlassies—small, spinning robotic pirates that attack en masse but have low health. Effective strategies include employing fast-firing weapons like the Burst Pistol or electric-based armaments like the Lightning Rod, which can chain damage across groups. Later waves introduce tougher foes such as Shield Pirates wielding titanium shields and Pirate Marauders armed with mortars and heavy melee attacks. Clever players can tactically maneuver the Mangler to damage these enemies by positioning it between foes, turning the mechanical adversary into a powerful ally. Crowd control weapons like the Cold Snap or Topiary Sprinkler help immobilize enemies, making them easier targets. The Battleplex arena is a dynamic environment featuring platforms, energy barriers, and dimensional rifts that aid in movement and evasion. Zurkon Jr., the arena's proprietor’s son, provides lively commentary, enhancing the atmosphere. Successfully completing “The Mangling” rewards 4,000 bolts, valuable for purchasing upgrades and weapons. As a mid-tier Silver Cup challenge, it serves both as an intense test of combat skill and a rewarding experience, embodying the game’s hallmark blend of fast-paced action, strategic depth, and inventive design.
