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 aiming for 100% completion.
Herding Moles
Begin by herding four moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Utilize the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns to effectively chase and guide them. Reward: A Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.
Catching Flying Lurkers
In the same area, chase and ram into the fleeing Flying Lurkers. Their erratic flight paths require strategic interception, particularly at turns. The final Lurker yields another Power Cell.
Gorge Race
Beat the 45-second record on the Gorge race track near the Basin entrance. Utilize Blue Eco boosts strategically placed along the course to enhance speed. Master sharp turns and avoid Dark Eco crates. A Power Cell awaits in Rock Village upon success. A trophy is awarded for completing the course under 40 seconds.
Lake Power Cell
Retrieve the Power Cell floating over the lake. This requires precise driving and timing, utilizing hops and ramps to navigate narrow bridges and gaps between islands.
Dark Eco Plant Cure
Use Green Eco to cure the Dark Eco-infected plants. Efficient driving and timely Green Eco replenishment are key to completing this objective before the plants regenerate. Reward: A Power Cell.
Purple Precursor Rings
Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings before time runs out. The challenge involves quick reflexes and precise driving, especially when traversing airborne rings. Reward: A Power Cell.
Blue Precursor Rings
This more demanding ring challenge requires skillful maneuvering through a complex course, including airborne rings requiring precise hops and boosts. Strategic use of the Zoomer's capabilities is crucial. Reward: A Power Cell.
Scout Flies
Collect all seven Scout Flies scattered throughout the area. Their locations vary, requiring exploration of different sections of the level. Reward: A Power Cell.
By completing all these objectives, players can fully conquer Precursor Basin and reap the rewards.
