Jak and Daxter Discover Hidden Power Cells on Misty Island
Navigating Misty Island in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Misty Island, a key location in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, presents a thrilling challenge for players. This guide details how to overcome its obstacles and collect all its rewards. Reaching the island itself requires completing a prerequisite task: helping the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle catch 200 pounds of fish. This unlocks the Speedboat in Sandover Village, providing access to Misty Island.
1. Securing the Sculptor's Muse:
Your initial objective is to retrieve the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse is elusive. Players must chase it, utilizing roll jumps and strategically breaking bones to create pathways. Mastering the Muse's route and timing roll jumps are crucial for capture. Return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for a Power Cell (save this for later).
2. Utilizing Blue Eco for a Power Cell:
Return to the Muse's initial location, turn right, and navigate a platforming section with blue eco orbs. Collect these orbs and reach a Precursor Platform. Activating the platform with a full Blue Eco charge grants access to a Power Cell.
3. Conquering the Lurker Arena:
This Power Cell requires facing a Lurker arena challenge. Charge with Blue Eco, enter the Precursor Door, and battle waves of Lurkers while dodging aerial explosives. Utilize the Red Eco dropped by Lurkers for an advantage. Victory reveals stairs leading to the Dark Eco Pool and another Power Cell.
4. Scaling the Lurker Ship:
Proceed to Misty Island's Bay and cross the bridge to the Lurker Ship. Climb the ship's right side to reach the top and claim a Power Cell.
5. Disabling the Cannon:
Ascend the ramp, dodging rolling and bouncing logs thrown by Lurkers. Use platforms for respite. Eliminate the two Lurkers guarding the cannon at the top for a Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena below for additional Precursor Orbs.
6. Eliminating Balloon Lurkers:
Access the Zoomer trans-pad near the Lurker Ship. Use the Zoomer to ram into the Balloon Lurkers in the bay, avoiding explosive mines. Precise use of the Zoomer's controls (brakes, accelerator, hop) is essential. Defeating five Balloon Lurkers rewards a Power Cell.
7. Reaching a High-Altitude Power Cell:
Using the Zoomer, navigate the ramp, turn right, and circumvent a rock formation to reach a specific area. Accelerate towards the edge, performing a hop just before launching to collect Precursor Orbs and a Power Cell.
8. Collecting Seven Scout Flies:
Seven Scout Flies are hidden across Misty Island. Their locations are as follows:
- One is accessible during the Muse chase by using a seesaw and ground pound to reach a cliff.
- Two are located near the arena entrance, requiring precise platforming along a crumbling path.
- One is found on cliffs overlooking the Bay, accessible via a seesaw.
- One is on the Lurker Ship, past the bridge.
- One is on a platform along the log-strewn ramp leading to the cannon.
- One is near the top of the ramp used to reach the final Zoomer Power Cell.
After collecting all seven Scout Flies, return the Sculptor's Muse to complete your Misty Island adventure.
