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

Misty Island: A Comprehensive Guide to Jak and Daxter's Perilous Paradise

Misty Island, a location shrouded in mystery and danger, looms large in the early stages of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Its significance – the site of Daxter's unfortunate transformation – makes a return trip understandably daunting for Jak and his friend. However, for those brave enough to face the challenges, Misty Island offers a wealth of secrets and rewards. This guide will equip you with the knowledge and strategies needed to conquer this treacherous island.

Accessing Misty Island:

Before setting foot on Misty Island, you must complete a crucial task: help the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle's river catch 200 pounds of fish. This feat earns you a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat in Sandover Village, your vessel to Misty Island.

The Sculptor's Muse:

Your initial 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, requiring a chase across the island's initial section. Master the roll jump to keep pace, utilizing broken bones as makeshift bridges. Learn the Muse's route, anticipate its turns, and strategically use the roll jump to intercept it. Once captured, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for another Power Cell (best saved for later).

Harnessing Blue Eco:

After retrieving the Muse, head right from the docks to a platforming area with blue eco orbs leading to a Precursor Door. Gather as much Blue Eco as possible, then proceed to the Precursor Platform (see image 3). Activating the platform with a full Blue Eco charge propels you across the gap to a Power Cell.

Confronting Lurkers at the Dark Eco Pool:

Your next Power Cell lies near the adventure's starting point, but a challenging arena awaits. Charge with Blue Eco and enter the Precursor Door. Waves of Lurkers attack, raining explosive shots. Utilize the Red Eco they drop for an advantage and maintain mobility to evade explosives. Victory reveals stairs leading to the Dark Eco Pool and its Power Cell.

Scaling the Lurker Ship:

Exiting the arena, turn right to find a path to Misty Island's Bay and a Lurker Ship, accessible via a bridge. Ascend the ship's right side to reach the top and claim another Power Cell.

Neutralizing the Cannon:

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

Destroying Balloon Lurkers:

Utilize the Zoomer (accessible via the Lurker Ship's opposite bridge) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers patrolling the bay. Master the Zoomer's controls (brakes, accelerator, hop) to navigate mines and target Lurkers effectively. The Lurkers follow predictable routes, allowing strategic attacks. Defeating them yields a Power Cell.

Reaching a High-Flying Power Cell:

Use the Zoomer to ascend 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.

Collecting Scout Flies:

Seven Scout Flies are scattered across Misty Island. The first is accessible during the Muse chase using a seesaw and ground pound. Two more are found near the arena entrance (see image provided). Another is located on cliffs overlooking the bay, accessible via a seesaw. Two more are on the Lurker Ship, one near the bridge and another on a platform halfway up the log-strewn ramp. The final Scout Fly is near the top of the ramp used to reach the final Zoomer Power Cell (see image provided).

With all Power Cells and Scout Flies collected, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village to complete your Misty Island expedition.
