Jak and Daxter Unveil Hidden Power Cells on Misty Island

Navigating Misty Island in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Misty Island, a pivotal location in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, presents a thrilling challenge for players. This guide details how to overcome its obstacles and claim its rewards. Access to the island requires completing a prerequisite task: helping the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle catch 200 pounds of fish, earning a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat.

1. Capturing the Sculptor's Muse:

Your initial objective is retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse is elusive. You'll need to chase it, utilizing roll jumps and strategically breaking large bones to create pathways. Mastering the platforming challenges is crucial to intercepting the Muse's movements. Once caught, 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 filled with blue eco orbs. Collect the orbs, then proceed to the Precursor Platform (as shown in image 3). Activating the platform while charged with Blue Eco grants access to a Power Cell.

3. Conquering the Lurker Arena:

Prepare for an arena battle! Charge with Blue Eco and enter the Precursor Door. Waves of Lurkers attack, alongside explosive projectiles. Use the Red Eco dropped by Lurkers to your advantage, maintaining mobility to avoid the explosives. Victory reveals stairs leading to the Dark Eco Pool and another Power Cell.

4. Ascending the Lurker Ship:

After the arena, turn right towards Misty Island's Bay and the Lurker Ship. Cross the bridge, climb the ship's right side, and reach the top for a Power Cell.

5. Disabling the Cannon:

Climb the ramp, dodging logs thrown by Lurkers (jump over rolling logs, walk under bouncing ones). Utilize side platforms for respite. Eliminate the two Lurkers near the cannon for a Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena for Precursor Orbs.

6. Destroying Balloon Lurkers:

Use the Zoomer (accessible via the Lurker Ship's opposite bridge) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers patrolling the bay. Master the Zoomer's controls (brakes, accelerator, hop) to navigate mines and target Lurkers effectively. This yields a Power Cell.

7. Reaching a Floating Power Cell:

Ride the Zoomer up the ramp (as shown in image 1), navigate around the rock (image 2), accelerate towards the edge, and execute a timely hop to grab Precursor Orbs and a Power Cell.

8. Collecting Scout Flies:

Seven Scout Flies are hidden throughout Misty Island. The first is accessible during the Muse chase; use a seesaw and ground pound to reach the cliff. Two more are near the arena door (using the crumbling path and left gap as shown in image 1). Another is found using a seesaw on the left path after the arena. Two more are on the Lurker Ship (one past the bridge, another on a platform halfway up the log-ramp). The final one is near the top of the Zoomer ramp.

After collecting all Power Cells and Scout Flies, return the Muse to the Sculptor to complete your Misty Island adventure.
