Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - All Power Cells in Precursor Basin

Mastering Precursor Basin in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy: A Comprehensive Guide

Precursor Basin, following Fire Canyon, presents a seemingly less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, vehicular level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. This guide details how to conquer its demanding objectives and earn every reward.

Herding Moles:

This initial task involves guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Utilize the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns to effectively chase and nudge them towards their homes. Reward: A Power Cell.

Catching Flying Lurkers:

Located in the same area, these creatures require a direct hit from the Zoomer. Strategically intercept their turns to maximize your chances of a successful capture. The final Lurker yields a Power Cell.

Gorge Race:

Beat the 45-second record set by the Gambler in Rock Village. This race demands precision. Utilize Blue Eco for speed boosts, strategically navigate around Dark Eco Crates, and master the hop-turn technique for sharp maneuvers. Successfully completing the race awards a Power Cell, and a trophy for times under 40 seconds. Key strategies include utilizing Lurkers for extra height and carefully selecting the path (risky high-speed route or safer slower route) past the final Dark Eco crates.

Power Cell Over the Lake:

This requires precise driving and timing. Begin from the slope used in the Lurker chase, navigate the narrow bridges and utilize hops to traverse the gaps between islands. A final hop from the elevated position will lead you to the Power Cell.

Curing Dark Eco Plants:

Charge with Green Eco and drive through the purple plants to cure them. Speed and precision are key, as plants regenerate if you take too long. Reward: A Power Cell.

Purple Precursor Rings:

Navigate this ring course before time runs out. The most challenging part involves a ring appearing in mid-air off a natural bridge. A timely hop will carry you through. Reward: A Power Cell.

Blue Precursor Rings:

This more difficult ring course starts near the lake. Master the hops off rocks for aerial rings, and carefully navigate the winding path, particularly around pillars and the crossroads after crossing the lake. Reward: A Power Cell.

Freeing Scout Flies:

Collect all seven Scout Flies scattered throughout the area for a final Power Cell. These are located near mole holes, on elevated areas, across bridges, and near the Blue Precursor Rings.

By mastering these techniques, you'll successfully complete all of Precursor Basin's challenges and unlock all its rewards.
