No, there are no checkpoints. That's what makes him so hard.
,When it's time to cross the platforms, Drek will back off. This gives you time to ready the Swingshot. Also, orient the camera angle so that you are looking ahead. It's hard to jump these sideways.
,Don't be afraid to pause the game. Sometimes it helps to pause and re-assess where everything is.
,Make sure to use Clank's rocket pack. This lets you cover more distance in the air before hitting a satellite dish. You want to come down on the far edge if possible before jumping. There's not a lot of room for dawdling and loitering. Watch the timing of the falling dishes. Get a feel for when they are about to drop.
,The final platform Drek will fight you on looks different than the rest. It isn't made of rock. It's a nice looking professional platform. It looks nothing like the others.
,And watch out for the very last jumping dish before you reach this final platform. It will prematurely drop for no reason while you're in the air. Ignore it. You will never be able to land on it. Pretend it's not there. Jump over it and go straight for the main platform.
,Good luck.

,Okay, folks, your advice helped and I beat Drek on Saturday. Then I made the wrong choice to not start a new game and it time-warped me to the beginning of the level which is severely lame, in my opinion.,,So is the idea that you're supposed to finish everything else you want to finish (ie. getting a bunch of Gold Bolts) before you go to fight Drek? Wish I'd known that. Thought it might be like Jak & Daxter: T.P.L., where you can fight the last boss and then go back and finish anything else you needed.,,What happens after you beat him and start a new game? Do you keep your Gold Bolts for the new game? Do you start over with only your wrench?

,Ok, that's actually encouraging because it sounds like maybe I am almost there. I did a "falling-platform" section, then went a round with Drek. Then another section, and another round with Drek. Once, I actually reached the third section with Drek and got killed right away. But it was a smooth metal platform like Dr. Gadget said. So is that the final area where I fight Drek and try to drain the last four parts of his health? I hope there is no more of that stupid jumping involved. Yeah, I was having trouble with that very last platform you mentioned. I thought I was doing something wrong. Maybe I can actually beat this game.,,Should I just use the R.Y.N.O. while fighting Drek? (It seems to work wonders so far). Thank you!!!!

,Yes, I think you should use the R.Y.N.O. because it makes the fight go alot faster. After you beat the game once, the Golden Tesla Claw is incredibly powerful. Good Luck

What bolt trick? The one on Quarty, the one on Rilgar or is there another one? Just wondering.
