Mastering Precursor Basin in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Precursor Basin, following Fire Canyon, presents a seemingly less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, Zoomer-based level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Its difficulty stems from the intricate objectives required for completion, especially for trophy hunters. This guide details how to conquer each challenge.
Herd the Moles
This initial task involves guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Strategic maneuvering and skillful use of the Zoomer's hop function are key to efficiently herding them. Reward: A Power Cell.
Catch the Flying Lurkers
These elusive creatures require a chase and direct impact with the Zoomer. Anticipating their movements and cutting off their escape routes is crucial for successful captures. Reward: A Power Cell.
Beat the Gorge Record Time (45 seconds)
This time trial demands precision and speed. Utilizing Blue Eco boosts, strategically avoiding Dark Eco crates, and employing skillful hop-turns are vital for achieving the target time. Mastering the use of Lurkers for extra height is advantageous. Reward: A Power Cell; a trophy for sub-40 seconds.
Retrieve the Lake Power Cell
This involves a series of precise jumps and maneuvers across narrow bridges and islands. Timing and careful navigation are paramount. Refer to images 1-5 for the optimal route. Reward: A Power Cell.
Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants
Use Green Eco to cleanse the infected plants. Efficient driving and timely Green Eco replenishment are key to completing this objective before the plants regenerate. Reward: A Power Cell.
Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings
This ring challenge requires speed and precise timing. The most challenging sections involve aerial rings requiring calculated jumps. Successfully navigating all rings before time expires is essential. Reward: A Power Cell.
Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings
This more demanding ring challenge demands exceptional skill and precise control of the Zoomer. Several tricky sections, including aerial rings and tight turns, require careful planning and execution. Avoid the Zoomer Trans-pad to prevent premature termination. Refer to images for critical points. Reward: A Power Cell.
Free the Seven Scout Flies
Locating all seven Scout Flies yields a Power Cell. The image above shows the location of one; the others are strategically placed throughout the level, often requiring exploration and precise Zoomer control to reach. Reward: A Power Cell.
By completing all these objectives, players can fully conquer Precursor Basin and reap its substantial rewards.
