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 ofwisecracks. 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 fights off

the lurker with the Precursor artifact but knocks Daxter

into the Dark Eco. Daxter jumps out of the sludge as an


3/41

'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.

4. 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 powercell 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 thatwere 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 several types of Eco in the game. Touching apiece 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)


5/41

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.

Generally, Yellow Eco bursts will travel to the nearest

place they'll be useful. A jump-shot (shooting a Yellow Eco

burst while jumping) will be more accurate than a shot

fired while standing or running.

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 PrecursorBasin; 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 formsabove 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.

Temple to power the Blue Eco platforms and Blue Eco

Launchers to reach the top of the Temple. The Power Cell is

sitting at the very top.

"Find The Blue Vent Switch" - At the top of the Temple,

hit the switch in the middle of the roof to lower the

platform. This leads you to a room with two locked Blue Eco

doors, a capped Blue Eco Vent and a ledge leading to a

tunnel; this is the Temple Central Room. Follow the tunnel

"Open The Locked Temple Door" - There are two methods to

open the door. A) Before breaking the mirror on the Blue

Eco collecting machine, step into the beam. It acts as a

Blue Eco Vent. Run to the locked door at the back of the

Precursor Temple. B) Grab the three pieces of Blue Eco near

the Blue Eco Launcher below the Precursor Temple. Use the

E.v Misty Island - 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 whenapproaching 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 on Misty Island?

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 backbonebridge, 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.

17/41

Q. How do I open the Blue Eco Device in Rock Village?

A. Generally, Blue Eco pieces you have already collected

and have respawned will be automatically drawn to Jak while

he is channeling Blue Eco. What you need to do is grab both

pieces of Blue Eco and let them run out. Then, grab the

piece behind the Geologist and run toward the second piece.

When you see the second piece start moving (it will usually

make a spiral course toward Jak.. you'll see it flash

sideways in your view when it moves), turn toward the Blue

Eco Device; don't wait until you actually get the second

piece. Make a run for the Blue Eco Device and use 1 or 2

rolling jumps if necessary; more than 2 will waste time

while Jak recovers from each to be of any use.

I.vi Boggy Swamp - FAQs

-----------------------Q. Where is the entrance to Boggy Swamp?

A. In Rock Village, go past the Gambler to the first

floating ramada and the pontoon bridge that the Warrior

repairs. You'll arrive at the second floating ramada, which

is right by the Levitator. There is a second pontoon bridge

off the second floating ramada. This leads to a Scout Fly

which is right at the entrance to Boggy Swamp.

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 thePrecursor 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?


22/41

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.

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 thecolumns. 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 lightlasts 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

use the rolling jump. [See Section 3 - Controls]

"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 rockformation, 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


30/41

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

P.v Gol and Maia's Citadel - FAQs

---------------------------------

Q. How do I cross the color tile walkways in Gol & Maia's

Citadel?

A. Use the double-jump & spin to cross these. If you notice

while you're crossing, whatever color tile you land on as

you jump across will disappear. Each walkway consists of up

to 5 colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and brown(uncolored). This means that it is possible to cross each

section successfully in 5 jumps or less. Using the double-

jump with a spin will maximize the distance you can jump

each time. The rolling jump will not help at all on these

sections since you need more time and room to start the

jump than you get on each tile.

Q. The Large Precursor Door

===========================

This is a boss fight but will not give a Power Cell onceit is defeated. See the "Bosses" section below.

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 something surrounded by a bright white light, butwhatever it is isn't shown. Keira will say it's beautiful

and the credits will roll again.

=========

7. Bosses

=========


36/41

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 YellowEco 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 bythe 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 firegreen 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.


37/41

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 Yellow

Eco Cannon 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 and hit Spinkick. 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).

9. FAQs

=======

Here are some questions about the game:

Q. How many lives do I get?


38/41

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, when you capture the Sculptor's Muse, and when you

defeat Gol & Maia's Precursor Robot. You can also manually

save from the Options menu.

Q. Are there any Gameshark codes for this game?

A. For Gameshark codes, please check the official Gameshark

site ( http://www.gameshark.com ); although as of 1-3-02

there are no codes for this game listed there. IMHO, the

only code that would seriously be of any use would be a

code that resets the Precursor Basin Race record to 45.00

seconds for those players who were unfortunate enough tostumble onto the 00.01 second record bug. As a record

holder at the Twin Galaxies official scoreboard

( http://www.twingalaxies.com ), I do not use these devices

during normal gameplay on any of the systems I use nor do I

endorse modifying games.

===================

10. Glitches & Bugs

===================

Here are some glitches and bugs I've noticed and heard of(anything with a - was reported to me, anything with a + I

have encountered myself, and anything with a * was reported

to me and verified):

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. NOTE: While the record reads 00.01, you will

NOT get the power cell if you finish the race in less than

45 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.


39/41

- I have read on the Jak & Daxter message board at the

official Jak & Daxter site that SCEA claims this to be the

result of "a random series of actions" and is unrecoverable.

- Some people who have encountered this bug have been able

to start over ant NOT encounter it their second time around.

- 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. Using the right analog

stick to relocate the camera generally helps correct this.

+ Sometimes reloading from a manual save in Gol & Maia'sCitadel will place you next to the door by the shield

generator for the Green Sage's cage.

- When the glitch that causes Jak to start by the Green

Sage in Gol & Maia's Citadel occurs and the Green Sage is

rescued first, the game may freeze when other Sages are

rescued. {Thanks to PODarkTerrain for this one}

+ At the bottom of the small backbone bridge on Misty

Island is a small invisible ramp that leads from the bottom

vertebra to the ground

+ There are collision detection glitches in practically

every area, most notable are:+ The bottom of the backbone bridge extends farther onto

the platform than the backbone graphics do.

+ The ramp chains on the Lurker Ship's cargo bay make a

"wall" rather than a "window"

* The cliff that borders the gap at the beginning of

Snowy Mountain will let Jak slide across instead of falling

{Thanks to Christopher Beer and David Baranski for this one}

* The Green Eco collector tethers have more mass than

they appear; in many cases, diving into one will cause a

slight pause before sliding down its length.

* There is an outcropping from the wall across theentryway from the first light crystal in the Dark Cave on

the Spider Cave level. Jumping off the ledge onto this

outcropping while the light crystal is off gives the

appearance that Jak is suspended in mid-air. {Thanks to

BoneCollector11 for this one}
