Mastering the Zoomer in Jak and Daxter: Precursor Basin: A Comprehensive Guide
Precursor Basin in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy presents a significant challenge despite its seemingly less hazardous environment compared to Fire Canyon. This guide details how to conquer every objective within Precursor Basin, essential for trophy hunters.
Herd the Moles: A Simple Start
This initial task involves guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Strategic use of the Zoomer's hop maneuver for sharp turns allows efficient herding. Reward: A Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.
Capture the Flying Lurkers
These elusive creatures require skillful pursuit and ramming with the Zoomer. Intercepting their turns proves highly effective. The final Lurker drops another Power Cell.
Conquer the Gorge Time Trial
The Gorge race challenges players to complete the course under 45 seconds. Strategic use of Blue Eco boosts, acquired by navigating between pillars, is crucial. Avoid Dark Eco crates and utilize Lurkers for extra height. A successful run yields a Power Cell from the Gambler and a trophy for sub-40 second times.
Retrieve the Lake Power Cell
Beginning from the slope near the Lurker chase area, navigate a series of narrow bridges and gaps using precise hops and timing. This requires skillful Zoomer control and precise jumps across several islands. Reward: A Power Cell.
Heal the Dark Eco-Infected Plants
This objective involves using Green Eco to cleanse the purple plants. Efficient driving and timely Green Eco replenishment are key to completing this before the plants regenerate. Reward: A Power Cell.
Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings
This time trial involves passing through a series of appearing purple rings. The most challenging sections involve precise jumps off natural bridges and avoiding a hole in the raised track. Completion grants a Power Cell.
Master the Blue Precursor Rings
Significantly harder than the purple rings, this challenge starts near the Lake Power Cell area. Key sections include navigating around pillars, utilizing precise hops for airborne rings over the lake, and carefully maneuvering through a series of tight turns and jumps. The final ring hangs precariously at the top of a slope. Reward: A Power Cell.
Collect the Seven Scout Flies
Locating all seven Scout Fly boxes rewards players with a final Power Cell. These are scattered throughout the level, some requiring access via bridges, slopes and even dropping through holes.
By mastering these techniques and strategies, players can fully explore and conquer all the challenges Precursor Basin has to offer in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.
