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 of wisecracks. 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 '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 power cell 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 that were
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 a piece 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)

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 Precursor Basin; 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 forms above 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.

N. Spider Cave
==============
Power Cells: 8
Orbs: 200
 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 the columns.
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 light lasts 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 rock formation, 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 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 the platform connected to one of the
columns.

 "Free The Blue
Sage" - From the entrance, cross the spinning platform and head left. Continue
to the wooden platform at the base of the Precursor Robot's cage and follow it
around to the path off to the left that continues as a color tile walkway.
Cross this and through the door is a set of two moving platforms leading to a
rotating block. Use the next to moving platforms to reach the next rotating
block with the fire vent over it. Drop down to the wooden platform and jump to
the donut-shaped spinning platform. Use the last moving platform to reach the
Blue Eco Vent. Get the Blue Eco and this will cause a stairway of floating
platforms to rise. Quickly cross here and get through the floating tiles that
move around under more fire vents. These lead to the door by the shield
generator for the Blue Sage's cage. Breaking the shield generator will cause
the power cell to pop out.
 "Free The Red Sage" - From the entrance, cross the
spinning platform and head right. Cross the color tile walkway and cross the
wooden walkway to the partial spinning platforms. Climb and cross these to find
another color tile walkway. Cross this and fight through the lurker-infested
hallway then smash the three generators in the room at the end to open the
door. Cross more partial spinning platforms to reach the shield generator for
the Red Sage's cage. Breaking the shield generator will cause the power cell to
pop out.
 "Free The Yellow Sage" - From the entrance, cross the spinning
platform and head left. Cross the Pacman-shaped spinning platform to the two
partial spinning platforms. These lead to a small hallway. Through the door at
the end of the hallway is a Blue Eco Vent and a series of Blue Eco Launchers.
Guide Jak's descent from each launcher's boost so he will land on the next
launcher safely, gathering Blue Eco pieces if needed along the way. After the
launchers is the door that leads to the shield generator for the Yellow Sage's
cage. Breaking the shield generator will cause the power cell to pop out.

"Free The Green Sage" - Once the other three Sages are freed, a set of floating
platforms will appear leading up to a ladder of partial spinning platforms.
From the wooden platform at the top, jump across the platforms that rotate on
arms above the Precursor Robot's cage to reach the wooden platform at the top
of the inner portion of the Citadel. At the end of the wooden platform is the
shield generator for the Green Sage's cage. Breaking the shield generator will
cause the power cell to pop out.

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


Q. The Large Precursor Door
===========================
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, but whatever it is
isn't shown. Keira will say it's beautiful and the credits will roll
again.


=========
7. Bosses
=========
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
Yellow Eco 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 by the 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 fire green 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. 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:

A. General Game
FAQs
====================
Q. How many lives do I get?
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 to stumble 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.


B.
Specific Area FAQs
=====================
Q. How do I get to the Oracle and
Scout Fly in Sandover Village?
A. Using the right timing, you can get across
all of the rock formations using the double-jump w/ spin. The rolling jump
works as well. [See Section 3 - Controls]

Q. How do I power the Blue Eco
Launcher in Sentinel Beach?
A. There is a capped Blue Eco Vent right by the
Blue Eco Launcher. You'll need to go through Forbidden Jungle and activate the
Blue Eco Vent switch to turn on the capped vent.

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 when
approaching 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 backbone
bridge, 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.

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.

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 the Precursor
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?
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.

Q. What is the seventh Power Cell in the Volcanic Crater?
A.
There is a strongbox with no visible means to open it near the tunnel to Spider
Cave. In Spider Cave, you need to go across the Dark Eco pool with the two
spider webs then climb to the small floating platform area to get to a Yellow
Eco vent (it's just above and left of the entrance as you go in). Use the vent
and make a mad dash back up the tunnel to the box; either a jump shot or a
quickly aimed shot will break the box (you'll have maybe 1-3 seconds before the
Eco runs out). {Thanks to RyanB for the info}

Q. How do I get across the gap
at the start of Snowy Mountain?
A. Using a double-jump w/spin will get you
across to hang from the other side if done right. The rolling jump is useful to
get across it also. In addition, there is a glitch in the collision detection
with the mountain wall that will let Jak simply slide across if he jumps onto
the rocks on the cliff. {Thanks to Christopher Beer and David Baranski for this
one}

Q. Where is the last Dark Eco Crystal in the Spider Cave?
A. I have found
all five Dark Eco Crystals (this information is the same as section 6.N.iv): 

1- The top of the main columned cavern
 2- Near the Dark Eco pool in the tunnel
between the columned cavern and the Lurker Mine cavern.
 3- Near the Dark Eco
pool in the cave near the Yellow Eco vent at the top of the columned cavern.

4- In the bottom of the water pool in the dark cave area.
 5- In the bottom of
the water pool across the platformless Dark Eco pool from Crystal 3. Use the
roll jump to get across as the double-jump w/ spin won't make it. {Thanks to
RyanB for the info}

Q. Where is the Dark Cave in Spider Cave?
A. Near the top
Yellow Eco Vent in the main columned cavern area of Spider Cave is a smaller
cavern containing: a large Dark Eco pool with 4 floating platforms in it, a
raised ledge with Dark Eco crystal 3, and two ledges on the other side (one of
the floating platforms moves in between them). The right ledge leads to Dark
Eco crystal 5 (in the water across the Dark Eco pool). The left ledge leads to
the Dark Cave area (which contains Dark Eco crystal 4, a power cell, and Scout
Fly 7).

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.

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.
 - 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's Citadel
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 the entryway 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}
