Misty Island: A Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Guide
Misty Island, a location central to the plot of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, initially presents a challenge to access. However, for those brave enough to tackle its dangers and puzzles, rich rewards await.
Unlocking Misty Island
To reach Misty Island, you must first complete a task in the Forbidden Jungle: help the fisherman catch 200 pounds of fish. This earns you a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat in Sandover Village, your transportation to the island.
The Sculptor's Muse
Your first objective on Misty Island is to recover 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 key to catching it. Once captured, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for another Power Cell (save this for later).
Blue Eco and the First Power Cell
After retrieving the Muse, locate a platforming area with blue eco orbs. Collect as much blue eco as possible and use the charged eco to activate a Precursor Platform, bridging the gap to a Power Cell.
Dark Eco Pool Challenge
Next, return to the area where your Misty Island adventure began. You'll encounter an arena battle against waves of Lurkers, who attack while launching explosives. Use the red eco dropped by the Lurkers to your advantage, staying mobile to avoid the projectiles. Victory reveals stairs leading to the Dark Eco Pool, where another Power Cell awaits.
Conquering the Lurker Ship
Head right from the arena to find a path to Misty Island's bay and a Lurker Ship, accessible via a bridge. Climb the ship to claim a Power Cell.
The Cannon Challenge
Ascend the ramp, dodging logs thrown by Lurkers. Jump over rolling logs and duck under bouncing ones. Use the side platforms for respite. At the top, defeat the two Lurkers guarding the cannon to obtain a Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena below for more Precursor Orbs.
Balloon Lurker Showdown
Use the Zoomer (accessed via a trans-pad near the Lurker Ship) to engage the Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Carefully maneuver the Zoomer, using jumps for sharper turns, to ram the Lurkers without hitting the surrounding mines. Defeat five for a Power Cell.
Zoomer Power Cell
Use the Zoomer to navigate a ramp and surrounding rock formations to reach a final Power Cell.
Collecting the Seven Scout Flies
Seven Scout Flies are hidden across Misty Island. The locations are as follows:
- During the Muse chase, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach a clifftop.
- & 3. Before the arena door (near the blue eco platform), navigate a crumbling path and a gap to the left.
- After the arena, use a seesaw to reach cliffs overlooking the bay.
- & 6. On the Lurker Ship and on a platform along the log-strewn ramp.
- Near the top of the Zoomer ramp used to obtain the final Power Cell.
Once all seven Scout Flies are collected, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village to complete your Misty Island exploration.
