Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - All Power Cells in 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. Its significance as the site of Daxter's transformation makes a return daunting, yet rewarding for those seeking its hidden treasures and secrets. Accessing 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 Sandover Village speedboat.

1. The Sculptor's Muse:

Your initial quest on Misty Island involves retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse is elusive, demanding a chase across the island's initial area. Strategic use of roll jumps and the destruction of large bones to create pathways are crucial for pursuit. Mastering the Muse's route and timing your jumps will allow you to intercept it, ultimately returning it to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for another Power Cell. However, save this for later; more awaits on Misty Island.

2. Blue Eco and the Precursor Door:

Following the Muse encounter, locate a platforming section featuring blue eco orbs leading to a Precursor Door. Collect substantial Blue Eco, then proceed to the Precursor Platform (see image 3). Activating the platform with a full Blue Eco charge allows you to cross the gap and obtain a Power Cell.

3. Conquering the Lurker Arena:

Return to the Dark Eco Pool, but first, engage in an arena battle. Charge with Blue Eco and enter the Precursor Door. Waves of Lurkers attack, alongside explosive projectiles. Utilize the Red Eco dropped by Lurkers to your advantage, maintaining mobility to avoid the explosives. Victory unlocks a staircase leading to the Dark Eco Pool and its Power Cell.

4. Ascending the Lurker Ship:

After the arena, turn right to find a path to Misty Island's bay and a Lurker Ship, accessible via a bridge. Climb the ship's right side to reach the top and claim a Power Cell.

5. Disabling the Cannon:

Ascend the ramp, dodging logs thrown by Lurkers. Jump over rolling logs and walk under bouncing ones, utilizing the side platforms for respite. Eliminate the two Lurkers guarding the cannon at the top to obtain a Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena for additional Precursor Orbs.

6. Eliminating Balloon Lurkers:

Use the Zoomer (accessible via the Lurker Ship's opposite bridge) to eliminate the Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Strategic use of brakes, acceleration, and hops is essential to navigate mines and target Lurkers effectively. Defeating five grants a Power Cell.

7. Zoomer Power Cell Retrieval:

Ride the ramp (image 1), turn right, and navigate around the rock (image 2). Accelerate towards the edge, hopping just before launching to collect Precursor Orbs and a Power Cell.

8. Locating Seven Scout Flies:

Seven Scout Flies are scattered across Misty Island. The first is accessible during the Muse chase using a seesaw and ground pound. The next two are near the arena entrance (see image). Another is found using a seesaw to reach cliffs overlooking the bay. Two more are on the Lurker Ship and along the log-laden ramp. The final one is near the top of the ramp used in the Zoomer Power Cell retrieval (see image).

Collect all Scout Flies and return the Muse to complete your Misty Island adventure.
