1st Vehicle Race
In this vehicle race you are racing in the Rough Puppy. Not all that fancy but it will do. You are racing 4 other drivers in souped up machines. To get a little edge on your opponents get a turba and save it for the numerous mud puddles later in the course. Also try jumping at the peak of the hills and ridges to get a little extra umph!

Free Precursor Orbs
Go to any oracle statue and trade metal head skull gems to start an orb search challenge. Go to the orb and wait for the clock to turn to 00:00. Even though it says 00:00, it takes another second for the time to run out (I.E. 00:00 is really 00:00.100) So wait one more second, and then press Square to dash at the orb as soon as time runs out and the mission failed screen comes up. You will get 3 orbs, and be able to retry!

Outside Haven City Walls
This is one of the hardest things to do and takes time to get it right. When you go to the two towers in the Haven City near the Naughty Ottsel find a zoomer and get to the small ledge on the tower, then find a piece of metal that sticks out jump for it and the next one (you should now be on a thicker ledge). No go around and find another set of pipes, jump to them and you'll get to a place with lots of crates. Now turn to light flight (better if you have infinit light power and invulnerability). Look for the closest wall of Haven City and fly to it, keep turning the shield on and hitting X to keep altitude, (takes a couple of tries) when you get to the edge you will fall to the water (not dying). NOTE: In certain parts you'll sink and the water will turn black. (you die).

Defeating Cyber Errol
Note: The Arc Wielder Robot Shock upgrade is recommended for this level. First, Errol will launch grenades at you. They are very easy to dodge. Keep running and do not stop. Next, he will launch a swarm of KG bots. Take out the Arc Wielder or any rapid-fire weapon to destroy them. He will launch two waves at you. After those two waves, a small robot with a green jewel on it will appear from a blue duct. Take out the Blaster and fire until it falls, then spin kick it into the duct where it came from. The robot will explode and damage Errol. The battle will remain the same, only the grenades Errol launches will emit a shockwave when they hit the ground, and he will launch a flurry of regular grenades, creating holes in the floor. Also, when Errol's meter is red, Dark Makers will come out of the ducts instead of KG bots. Be careful, as they can do a lot of damage to you if you are not careful. Use the Plasmite RPG or Dark Jak Dark strike to take them out. When fighting Errol in the War Factory, he will be on a higher platform than you are, standing over a circle thing in the wall. Defeat all of the enemies that he throws at you that come out of the four holes on the walls. Then, a machine will come out of one of the four holes. Hit the one that is under where Errol is standing. It will take out one fourth of his health. After doing this three more times you will defeat him. When you are fighting Errol in the last mission when he is in the Terraformer. there are two parts to defeating him. One is destroying the things on the legs of the Terraformer. This will require some time, as the legs keep moving. It will throw enemies at you, and you must shoot it while driving around the desert. After destroying the legs, the body of the Terraformer will land in front of Spargus City's gate. From there you will climb the body onto a big platform where you will fight Errol for the last time. He is now using the head of the Terraformer. First, destroy the tentacles that come out of the platform. Then, destroy the enemies. Next, jump over the laser that sweeps over the platform. After that, you will have a chance to shoot at the back of the head. After a few times, his health meter will be at the yellow or red level. Errol will start to smash the head onto the platform. Dodge this and keep destroying and jumping over the laser. Once you make the last shot, you will see an intermission sequence showing Jak shooting the head destroying the Terraformer.

Cannot Switch Hover Zones
When you are in the section of Haven City called New Haven City, go to the sewers to turn on the switch. Go back the way that you came by going up the elevator. After doing this, try to get to the Freedom HQ. You will not be able to. Do not switch hover zones, because you will fall into a deep abyss. After going back into the city you will have to save somewhere else in that the New Haven City section. If you do not do this, it will remain that way.

Defeating The Precursor Robot
First, the robot will use an energy sword to zap you, swinging from side to side. Just jump over it. Next, he will launch little multiplying spider things at you. Do a 360 Rapid Fire Combo with the Beam Reflexor to take them out. Then, he will shoot lasers at the ground, bringing up some pillars. Wait until they cool and jump to the highest one, dodging the blasts that the robot fires at you. You will find some mine carts. Shoot at them until one falls on the robot's head. Repeat this and you win the Arc Wielder and Act 2.

Defending The Naughty Ottsel
In the level where you must defend the Naughty Ottsel in four different areas, the third is probably the most difficult. You must destroy all the robots and protect three people as well. If they all die, you lose. If you are having trouble, keep dying on purpose. Eventually you will get more people, and you will only lose if they all die.

Lots Of Ammo
When you are in haven city, if you go to an area where the guards are fighting KG bots, you can get a lot of ammunition. Most KG bots will give you ammo after you kill them, and they will never stop coming. They usually give you ammo for the gun you kill them with. (they will also sometimes give you health.)
