Jeffrey Parkin (he/him) has been writing video game guides for Polygon for almost seven years. He has learned to love just about every genre of game that exists.

Part of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart guides

Scattered throughout Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart’s Savali Urfdah Mesa level, you’ll find collectibles like Armor Pods, Gold Bolts, Spybots, Lorbs, and CraiggerBears. In this Rift Apart Savali Urfdah Mesa guide, we’ll show you the location of every collectible in the level with maps and screenshots to make sure you don’t miss anything.

Armor changes Ratchet’s appearance and gives you a stat boost whether it’s equipped or not. Gold bolts put new skins on your weapons and unlock cheats. Spybots have intel about planets, but more importantly, will earn you a special weapon when you collect enough.

On your first visit, there are 12 Lorbs, 6 Armor Pods, 2 Gold Bolts, and 1 CraiggerBear to find in Savali Urfdah Mesa.

Like Corson V Nefarious City and Sargasso Outpost L51, you’re free to explore this level once you’ve finished the story objectives. It’s a little easier to collect everything once the story-based pressure is off.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Lorb locations

There are 12 Lorbs to find in Savali Urfdah Mesa. Many (most?) of them are like little puzzles. If you’re stuck, here’s some general advice for reaching Lorbs (and other things in Savali Urfdah Mesa):

Rocks to jump on. Circle whatever you’re trying to climb looking for rocks to hop up. It’s the simplest solution, so start here.
Ramps. Sometimes there’s a ramp nearby with a speed boosting … thing. See if you can’t ride that up.
Cliffs. Sometimes, there’s a cliff nearby that you can jump off of.
Switches. Occasionally, you’ll find a series of green switches on the ground. Use ratchet to do what Rivet did with bugs on Sargasso: Ride over them quickly. You’ll unlock whatever you need to at the end.
Rifts. Look up there where you can reach for a few seconds, and see if a rift (portal?) doesn’t appear.
Some combination of the above. Sometimes, you have to jump up some rocks, blast off of a ramp, leap over a cliff, and catch a portal in mid-air.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Armor Pod locations

There are six Armor Pods to find in Savali Urfdah Mesa. The first three are rewards for gathering Lorbs.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Armor Pod 1

When you collect your first three Lorbs, return them to the Monk Scholar to get the Wasteland Gear Boots.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Armor Pod 2

Collect seven Lorbs, and the same Monk Scholar will give you the Wasteland Gear Chest.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Armor Pod 3

Finish collecting all 12 Lorbs, and the Monk Scholar will give you the Wastland Gear Helmet.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Armor Pod 4

Over on the east side of Savali Urfdah Mesa, you’ll find this Armor Pod on one of the floating platforms you have to chase down. Capture this one to collect the Robot Pirate Chest.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Armor Pod 5

Look for the Pocket Dimension on the east side of Saali Urfdah Mesa. Inside, you’ll have to navigate some platforms and wall run panels. At the end, you’ll pick up the Lombax Praetorian Boots.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Armor Pod 6

Look for a Pocket Dimension in the southeast of Savali Urfdah Mesa. Inside, navigate another set of wall run panels through to the end. There, you’ll pick up the Captain Starshield Helmet.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Gold Bolt locations

There are 2 Gold Bolts to find in Savali Urfdah Mesa on your first visit.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Gold Bolt 1

This Gold Bolt takes a bit of work to get to. In the north, look for a tree — there is some Raritanium nearby. There is a series of switches along a natural tunnel starting there and leading east (clockwise). Hit all the switches and boosters, and you’ll activate a rift at the end that will lead you straight to the Gold Bolt back in the west. This one unlocks Music Pack 1 for the jukebox in Zurkie’s.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Gold Bolt 2

You’ll find this Gold Bolt on one of the floating platforms to chase down. Watch for it in the southeast. When you catch it, you’ll unlock Rendering Modes Pack 1.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Spybot locations

There is 1 Spybot to find in Savali Urfdah Mesa.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Spybot 1

In the northeast of Savali Urfdah Mesa, look for a series of platforms that lead to a tunnel. Follow that tunnel to find a wrecked pirate ship. You’ll find the Savali Spybot on the deck.

Savali Urfdah Mesa CraiggerBear locations

There is 1 CraiggerBear to find in Savali Urfdah Mesa.

Savali Urfdah Mesa CraiggerBear 1

Off the southern edge of Savali Urfdah Mesa, you’ll go through some trials as part of the “Ascend the Mountain” objective. After your first timed sprint across the floating rocks, take a left. At the end of the short path, you’ll find this CraiggerBear near some pots.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Get to the Archives collectibles locations

Near the end of the game, you’ll return to Savali (briefly) as part of the “Find the Dimensional Map Before the Emperor” objective. When you “Activate the Machinery” to drill a hole, you’ll be able to reach the final Gold Bolt on this planet.

Savali Urfdah Mesa Gold Bolt 3

Down in the hole you drill into Savali, look on the west side for an infected console. Use Glitch to clear out the viruses, and the door will open. Grab this Gold Bolt to unlock Ship Skins 2.
