Added dedication in Section 11, added Green & White Eco, added Glitches & Bugs section. ======== 2. Story ======== Here is the story of the world of Jak & Daxter: Jak and Daxter are two elf-like friends that live on one of a group of islands. As usual with many pairs of friends, they are a truly 'odd' couple: Jak is the strong, silent type while Daxter is a seemingly endless source of wisecracks. Before the game begins, Jak and Daxter sneak over to Misty Island where they witness a meeting of Lurkers with their masters, Gol and Maia. Before they're spotted, they sneak off and find a Dark Eco pool and a Precursor artifact. They're discovered and Jak fends off the lurker with the Precursor artifact but knocks Daxter into the Dark Eco. Daxter jumps out of the sludge as an 'ottsel' (part otter, part weasel). They return to the Green Sage, Samos, and are told only one person knows enough about Dark Eco to turn Daxter back. They also find out that the other sages have been out of touch for some time and the way to reach them is very dangerous. At this point, Samos's daughter Keira offers to help with a modified Zoomer that can resist the heat of the fiery Mountain Pass. It is up to Jak and Daxter to stop the Lurkers' evil plan and find a way to turn Daxter into his normal elf form. =========== 3.

Quest Items ============== These items are part of your quest: Precursor Orbs - These appear as mauve eggs with some writing on them. You can trade these for power cells with various characters and the Oracles along the way; generally 90 Orbs per power cell from people and 120 Orbs per power cell from Oracles. Most Orbs are in plain sight, but some are contained in other objects such as Metal Boxes or the Blue Eco Device. Power Cells - These are your main objectives in the game. They appear as glowing spheres with smaller spheres surrounding them. On the Progress Screen, you can see which of the power cell objectives you have completed and which you have discovered. Scout Flies - These are small helicopter-like objects that were sent to each area by Keira. They do not begin in plain sight; instead, you need to open the red metal boxes they are in (Handstand Dive, Zoomer, Yellow Eco burst, Flut-Flut Dash). In each location, there are 7 Scout Flies that can be found for another power cell. ============ 5. Eco Types ============ There are at least 4 types of Eco in the game. Touching a piece of Blue, Red, or Yellow Eco will add it to your Eco Meter. The Eco Meter steadily drains after touching pieces of Eco and the effects (and quantity) of Eco are only for the last color touched. (example: if you have a full meter of Blue Eco and hit a piece of Yellow Eco, your meter will show only one piece's worth of Yellow Eco) Blue Eco - The effects of Blue Eco are as follows: Jak's movement speed is increased; nearby Orbs and green health crystals will glow blue then gravitate toward Jak; activation of several varieties of Precursor artifacts and devices (Orb Holder Devices, Precursor Doors, Jungle Temple Bridge, etc). Red Eco - The effect of Red Eco is to increase attack power. Under the influence of Red Eco, Jak can knock down a vertical bone bridge or kill a Skeleton Lurker with one punch; however, his running speed is slightly reduced. Yellow Eco - When Jak punches, a ball of Yellow Eco power will shoot from his fist. His running speed is reduced. Green Eco - When Jak opens most boxes & barrels and/or kill a lurker, small pieces of Green Eco will emerge. Collect 50 small pieces of Green Eco to gain a level back on Jak's health meter; if it's full, you can collect up to 50 pieces in reserve. Occasionally, you will encounter a large piece of Green Eco, it is worth 50 small pieces by itself. In two areas, there are Green Eco Vents (Sentinel Beach and Precursor Basin), these will return your health to full with 50 pieces' worth of Green Eco in reserve. The only time Green Eco affects the Eco Meter is in the Precursor Basin; the Green Eco Vent there is meant for curing the Dark Eco infected plants. Dark Eco - This form of Eco is toxic. Contact with a box of Dark Eco will cause the box to explode and take 1 unit of health. Contact with the Dark Eco in the Dark Eco pools in various locations will kill Jak. White Eco - This form of Eco only exists at ONE place in the game, the Gol & Maia's Precursor Robot boss fight. It appears as a small piece of the White Eco cloud that forms above the Precursor Silo; its only use is to deliver the final blow to the Precursor Robot. Its actual properties are a combination of Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green Eco. ============== 6.

Snowy Mountain - Power Cells --------------------------------- "Find The Yellow Vent Switch" - Jump across icy ledges and floating platforms while dodging Precursor machines that will push you off to reach the switch. The entrance to the cave is behind a stand of trees near the iced waterfall. "Stop the Lurker Glacier Troops" - Use Red Eco to defeat the Glacier Troop Lurkers that use shields and fireballs. There are three of these Lurkers who operate the glacier battering rams. "Deactivate The Precursor Blockers" - There are 13 Precursor Blockers (barrel- shaped objects with blue aurora-like shields around them) in this area. Use double-jumps (with spinning sometimes helps) to jump over the blue Eco Shields around the blockers to hit the buttons on top. The last blocker will spit out the Power Cell. "Open The Frozen Crate" - After opening the Yellow Eco vent switch, use the Yellow Eco vent in the pass-through cave to blast the frozen crate in the wall. "Get Through The Lurker Fort" - Climb onto the structure in the middle of the Lurker Fort courtyard to get to the platforms around the inside of the Lurker Fort walls. at the end of the trail is the Power Cell.

Spider Cave ============== Power Cells: 8 Orbs: 200 N.i. Spider Cave - Power Cells ------------------------------ "Use Your Goggles To Shoot The Gnawing Lurkers" - In the columned cavern, use the first person view to aim Yellow Eco bursts at the Centipede Lurkers that are gnawing on the columns. Once all of the Centipede Lurkers are destroyed, the Power Cell will fall out of the base of one of the columns. "Destroy The Dark Eco Crystals" - There are Dark Eco crystals in the columned cavern, an alcove on the path between the columned cavern and the Lurker Mine structure, a pool of water in the dark cave, across a Dark Eco pool in a cave above the columned cavern, and in a pool of water across another Dark Eco pool in the same cave. "Explore The Dark Cave" - In the dark cave, you need to hit the grey crystals to light them up green. The light lasts only for a while, but it's generally long enough to get to the next crystal with time to spare. Follow the path from crystal to crystal to find the Power Cell and an elevator that will take you back down to the beginning of the dark cave. To get across the Dark Eco pool, you need to roll (walk then hit L1/R1) and then hit jump. Jak will do a longer jump than even a double-jump with spinning will go. "Climb The Giant Robot" - The Lurker Mine structure surrounds the Giant Robot. The quickest way up is to take the ramp by the Blue Eco piece, jump off the ramp onto the rock formation, jump from the rock formation to the next level of the structure, jump back onto the top of the rock formation, across to the elevator, across the unstable platforms around the side of the structure, then up and across the poles and platforms until you reach the top where the Power Cell is. The rotating platform is a red herring. "Launch To The Poles" - Near the Lurker Mine structure, there is a piece of Blue Eco, which will activate the Blue Eco Launcher in the pit next to it. The Launcher will send Jak to a set of poles, which have Orbs and more Blue Eco pieces around them. If done right, there will be Blue Eco left to activate the Blue Eco platform at the end of the set of poles. The Blue Eco platform will take Jak to the Power Cell. "Navigate The Spider Tunnel" - from the bottom of the Lurker Mine structure, use the spider webbed craters to jump across the Dark Eco to the Yellow Eco vent. Use the Yellow Eco to blast a path through the spiders into the tunnel. The Power Cell is at the deepest part of the tunnel, near a piece of Blue Eco and a Blue Eco Launcher. "Climb The Precursor Platforms" - Use the floating platforms in the columned cavern to reach the Power Cell on the platform connected to one of the columns. "Free 7 Scout Flies" - Appears after the 7th Scout Fly is located. N.ii Spider Cave - Orb Locations -------------------------------- Total: 200 46 Orbs: In the columned cavern (including those dropped by Centipede Lurkers) 2 Orbs: In the lower tunnel from the columned cavern 6 Orbs: In the metal boxes in the lower tunnel from the columned cavern 16 Orbs: In the spider tunnel 3 Orbs: At the bottom of the Lurker Mine structure 50 Orbs: On the first wooden platform level of the Lurker Mine structure 12 Orbs: In the lower corner of the Lurker Mine structure 4 Orbs: On the second wooden platform level of the Lurker Mine structure 29 Orbs: On the third & fourth wooden platform levels of the Lurker Mine structure 18 Orbs: On the poles above the Blue Eco Launcher near the Lurker Mine structure 3 Orbs: In the upper tunnel from the columned cavern 6 Orbs: In the metal boxes by the upper Dark Eco pool 5 Orbs: In the dark cave N.iii Spider Cave - Scout Fly Locations --------------------------------------- 1- Near the Yellow Eco Vent by the entrance 2- Across bridge from main structure in the columned cavern 3- On the Lurker Mine structure near the bottom 4- On the Lurker Mine structure near the top 5- Near the Yellow Eco Vent by the top of the main structure in the columned cavern 6- Across the Dark Eco pool in the cave by the top of the columned cavern 7- In the dark cave N.iv Spider Cave - Dark Eco Crystal Locations --------------------------------------------- 1- The top of the main columned cavern 2- Near the Dark Eco pool in the tunnel between the columned cavern and the Lurker Mine cavern. 3- Near the Dark Eco pool in the cave near the Yellow Eco vent at the top of the columned cavern. 4- In the bottom of the water pool in the dark cave area. 5- In the bottom of the water pool across the platformless Dark Eco pool from Crystal 3. Use the roll jump to get across as the double-jump w/ spin won't make it. {Thanks to RyanB for the info} O. Lava Tube ============ Power Cells: 2 Orbs: 50 O.i. Lava Tube - Power Cells ---------------------------- "Reach The End Of The Lava Tube" - Fly the Zoomer through the Lava Tube area to reach the end near Gol & Maia's Citadel "Free 7 Scout Flies" - Appears after the 7th Scout Fly is located. O.ii Lava Tube - Orb Locations ------------------------------ Total: 50 7 Orbs: On the first bridge 5 Orbs: On the right embankment after the bridge 4 Orbs: On the left embankment after the bridge 21 Orbs: In metal boxes and in the open on the right side of the path of the second bridge 13 Orbs: On the path between the second bridge and the Precursor door-lock room O.iii Lava Tube - Scout Fly Locations ------------------------------------- 1- Shortly after the first bridge 2- In the middle of the second bridge 3- On the left path after the Precursor door 4- In the upper Mine & Dark Eco conveyer area 5- In the upper Mine & Dark Eco conveyer area 6- In the lower Mine & Dark Eco conveyer area 7- In the lower Mine & Dark Eco conveyer area P. Gol And Maia's Citadel ========================= Power Cells: 5 Orbs: 200 P.i. Gol And Maia's Citadel - Power Cells ---------------------------- "Free The Blue Sage" - "Free The Red Sage" - "Free The Yellow Sage" - "Free The Green Sage" - "Free 7 Scout Flies" - Appears after the 7th Scout Fly is located. P.ii Gol And Maia's Citadel - Orb Locations ------------------------------ Total: 200 - 200 Orbs: To Be Added - P.iii Gol And Maia's Citadel - Scout Fly Locations ------------------------------------- 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- P.iv Gol And Maia's Precursor Robot ----------------------------------- This is a boss fight but will not give a Power Cell once it is defeated. See the "Bosses" section below. Q. The Large Precursor Door =========================== Once the credits finish rolling, you'll have your attention brought to the large Precursor Door at the top of the Citadel. Here's what happens: - Less than 100 Power Cells: Keira tells you that you need at least 100 Power Cells to open the door and then gameplay control is returned. - Return with 100 or 101 Power Cells: All the Power Cells will jump into spots on the door and it will open. Inside is somethng surrounded by a bright white light, but whatever it is isn't shown. Keira will say it's beautiful and the credits will roll again. ========= 7. Bosses ========= A. Dark Eco Plant ================= This one is relatively simple. While the Dark Eco Plant's head is down, stay out of the area near him (try to stay out of the circle on the floor). While dodging the plant, kill the Hedgehog Lurkers that come at you. When the Dark Eco Plant raises its head and sprouts the two stair-step leaves, climb up and hit its head. Repeat this until he's dead. B. Klaww ======== This one's a bit harder since the lava is instantly fatal. Klaww will send a number of boulders at you. Jump between the three platforms on the lava until the last boulder cracks to reveal a piece of Blue Eco. Grab the Blue Eco, which will build a bridge across where Klaww was to two pieces of Yellow Eco. Grab the Yellow Eco and fire Yellow Eco bursts at Klaww until he forms a glowing bounder over his head and it falls. The boulder will strike Klaww's head and bounce over to & roll along the bridge, breaking it as it goes. At this point you will be back to the first three platforms. Repeat this until Klaww gets hit for the third time (there's pieces missing from the bridge the second and third time it forms). C. Gol & Maia's Precursor Robot =============================== Once the four sages are free, enter the Precursor door by the Samos's shield generator (you'll be right next to it by the time you're able to free Samos). This will take you up outside the Citadel tower which is next to a nearby Precursor Silo. Take the Blue Eco Platform to the silo and gather the Yellow Eco. Fire Yellow Eco bursts at the robot while jumping; the bursts will target the blue laser Gol and Maia are using to open the silo. Once the laser is destroyed, they will send out a Mine Drone. Use the reactivated Blue Eco Vent and Blue Eco Launcher to safely get out of the Drone's range when it blows up. On landing, the silo doors are open slightly and the Robot will fire green bursts into the Dark Eco inside. Grab the Yellow Eco to shoot at the Dark Eco Monsters that jump out. After they're gone, another Mine Drone will come out and the Blue Eco Vent will be on again; just launch to safety and land again. The doors will open a little more and the robot will fire out about 5 or 6 Red Eco Mines. When they explode, they send out shockwaves that you'll have to jump over. Grab the Yellow Eco and fire at the robot some more. When the next Mine Drone comes out, launch to safety and land. This time the robot will fire large yellow bursts, so you just have to dodge them and return fire. After the last Mine Drone explodes, the four towers around the silo will light up with each of the Eco colors and generate a White Eco cloud. Dodge the robot's fire and simply grab a small White Eco cloud when one falls. Sit back and enjoy the ending cinema and the credits. (Be sure to watch all the credits, there is a second cinema about the large Precursor door on the top of the Citadel afterward). ============= 8. Mini-Games ============= Mini-Games will always give you a "Do You Want To Play" prompt. Though you may play them as many times as you want until you win, once you win you can't start them again. A. 'Catch 200 Pounds Of Fish' ============================= Location: Forbidden Jungle Referee: Fisherman Description: You will control the net that Jak is holding off the bridge over the river between the two waterfalls. You need to catch 200 pounds of fish by catching the 1 pound fish and 5 pound fish. Game Over: If you catch one poisonous eel or miss 20 pounds of fish. B. 'Protect Farthy's Snacks' ============================ Location: Boggy Swamp Referee: Boggy Billy Description: Using the first-person view, shoot Yellow Eco bursts at the Rat Lurkers as they approach the snacks so the Boggy Billy's hog Farthy can return. Game Over: If a Rat Lurker reaches and steals a snack. ======= 9. FAQs ======= Here are some questions about the game: A. General Game FAQs ==================== Q. How many lives do I get? A. In the game, there are unlimited lives. You start out at the nearest starting point to where you last died. Since I'm not mapping the game, there's no point in finding all of the starting points for each location. Q. How do I save? A. The game saves automatically whenever you get a Power Cell and/or when you capture the Sculptor's Muse. You can manually save from the Options menu. B. Specific Area FAQs ===================== Q. How is Misty Island different in the game as opposed to the demo? A. In the full game, you start the area on the boat instead of the beach. Daxter gives an extra comment when approaching the starting beach about getting the creeps. Catching the Sculptor's Muse does not teleport you to the platform at the top of the long backbone bridge; you need to return to Sandover Village and speak to the Sculptor to get the power cell. Q. How can I catch the Sculptor's Muse? A. This is what I have found to be the easiest: Pay attention to the Muse's route. There are a couple places where he can be caught relatively easily. On the stairstep platforms at the top and bottom of the long backbone bridge, the Muse takes his time to hop on every step. By skipping steps or hopping down on him from above, you can catch him or get close enough to make a quick dash after him with the Punch button. Q. What is the seventh Power Cell in the Volcanic Crater? A. There is a strongbox with no visible means to open it near the tunnel to Spider Cave. In Spider Cave, you need to go across the Dark Eco pool with the two spider webs then climb to the small floating platform area to get to a Yellow Eco vent (it's just above and left of the entrance as you go in). Use the vent and make a mad dash back up the tunnel to the box; either a jump shot or a quickly aimed shot will break the box (you'll have maybe 1-3 seconds before the Eco runs out). {Thanks to RyanB for the info) Q. Where is the last Dark Eco Crystal in the Spider Cave? A. I've gone through Spider Cave many times. I have only found four Dark Eco Crystals: 1- The top of the main columned cavern 2- Near the Dark Eco pool in the tunnel between the columned cavern and the Lurker Mine cavern. 3- Near the Dark Eco pool in the cave near the Yellow Eco vent at the top of the columned cavern. 4- In the bottom of the water pool in the dark cave area. 5- In the bottom of the water pool across the platformless Dark Eco pool from Crystal 3. Use the roll jump to get across as the double-jump w/ spin won't make it. {Thanks to RyanB for the info} Q. How do I get into the tar-filled area near where I get ambushed in Boggy Swamp? A. You don't get in there at all. That area is where the Precursor Artifact (a Precursor Robot arm) the Zeppelin is trying to retrieve is located. Once all four tethers are broken, you'll get a cutscene showing the rope on the arm breaking. Q. How do I get the boat to one of the two docks in Boggy Swamp. A. You can't get the Fisherman's boat there at all. It will only ferry you between Sandover Village and Misty Island. The docks in Boggy Swamp are just decoration. =================== 10. Glitches & Bugs =================== Here are some glitches and bugs I've noticed and heard of: A. Precursor Basin Race Bug =========================== Several people have encountered a bug that will set the starting record for the race at 00.01 seconds instead of 45.00 seconds. - Some have been able to leave and work on other objectives then later return to have the record reset to normal. - Some have left the area and returned to have the record still at 00.01. - This bug does not happen all the time to everyone.. I have NOT encountered this bug myself. B. Other Minor Glitches ----------------------- - On Misty Island, punching the Skeleton Lurker by the Scout Fly above the ribcage tunnel will sometimes push him INTO the solid platform and lose the Green Eco pieces he'd drop. - Shifting directions frequently will often leave the camera in awkward viewing angles ========================= 11. Conclusion & Copyright ========================= If you have anything to add or correct (typos, suggestions, etc.) send me an email: [email protected] Special thanks to: - RyanB from the GameFAQs forum for help on the "Destroy The Dark Eco Crystals" Power Cell and confirmation of how to get the seventh Power Cell in Volcanic Crater.
