Magnus was a large planet with varied terrain, ranging from rocky cliffs deep canyons and vast oceans. It was located mysteriously somewhere within the Polaris Galaxy. After Ephemeris the Creature Collector captured Ratchet, Clank, Qwark, and Dr. Nefarious, it transported them to this planet. Magnus was populated by a vast amount of differing creatures, but it was known to be inhabited by Tharpods, the sentient lifeforms who were in tune with nature and were known to have small critters as pets.
The planet was orbited by the Phonica Moon.
Geopgraphy[]
Aldaros Plains[]
The Aldaros Plains was home to the Minion Training Centre. However, surrounding the centre were segments of the plains floating in the air, apparently caused by the Gravity Minions. It also contains a small tharpod village. It was known for gravoid and an Octomoth.
The Deadgrove[]
The Deadgrove was a forest-like canyon in which the Minions were mining at the bottom. The heroes had to fight through the area against Magnus grove beetles, dreadgrubs, and a massive wigwump. After defeating the wigwump, they found the first Holo-Diary, and then set out to find Commander Spog at the N.E.S.T.
N.E.S.T[]
The N.E.S.T seemed to be located somewhere near the Aldaros Plains, attached to a high rocky cliff where Commander Spog was located. The area was noted for containing a factory that created new minions and cataloged and sorted new creatures to Magnus, including weevoids. The heroes defeated Commander Spog, but his voice modulator was damaged. Clank got Dr. Nefarious to fix it, and Commander Spog told them that Ephemeris was at Terawatt Forest beyond Octonock Cay.
Octonok Cay[]
Octonok Cay was a shipwreck junkyard containing a Tharpod fishing village that Ratchet, Clank, Qwark, and Dr. Nefarious had to cross using a raft. The area contains a lighthouse as well as a W.A.S.P., which the heroes had to disable. It was known for the slorgs, flabberfishes, and sepiads.
Terawatt Forest[]
Terawatt Forest was a deep and mysterious forest with plants and animals mutated by a strange comet crash that occurred there eons before the present. It was also the last known location of Dr. Croid, who knew about the Creature Collector. There were also several huge Guardians here that served to protect the Hall Of Paradoxology. Other creatures included anthropods, shard beasts, and razormoths. Terawatt Forest was home to the Frumpus Croid Exploratorium of Scientific Wonderment, an interactive science exhibit created by Dr. Croid.
Polar Sea[]
Polar Sea was an icy polar sea in which the heroes crash-landed after being hit by the Creature Collector. With its freezing temperatures, it had naturally occurring ice slopes, thin ice sheets and high cliffs. The area was known for the grungoths and flabberfish.
Uzo City[]
Uzo City was a Tharpod city ravaged by Commander Spog. It contains a charging station for the Creature Collector. Ratchet, Clank, Qwark, and Nefarious had to defeat the Loki Master in Uzo City with some help from Dr. Croid and Nevo Binklemeyer before he wreaked havoc across the galaxy.
Other locations[]
The Creature Collector's Vault is a location on Magnus where 8-bit Mini Mayhem takes place.
Totem Fi and it's meadows are mentioned, as well as the Bluffs of Vendros, and Fiords of Rank-Arun.
Behind the scenes[]
Almost the entirety of Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One took place on Magnus, with the exception of the Luminopolis invasion on planet Igliak and the Phonica Moon which orbited around Magnus.
"Magnus" is Latin for "big."
This planet bears many similarities to the real world Earth such as the horizon displaying features that our world has, limited-distance technology like the Prototype Ornithopter, a single moon and sun, a fisherman's cove, and other Earth-related features. Also while this might be a coincidence, there was even an enemy drinking from a Water Dispenser which no other planet in the series has.
