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

Misty Island: A Comprehensive Guide to Jak and Daxter's Precursor Legacy Treasure Hunt

Misty Island, a location central to the plot of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, initially presents a challenge to access. However, its rewards – numerous Power Cells and Precursor Orbs – are well worth the effort. This guide details how to navigate Misty Island's obstacles and claim all its treasures.

Accessing Misty Island

To reach Misty Island, you must first complete a task in the Forbidden Jungle: help the fisherman catch 200 pounds of fish. This earns you a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat in Sandover Village, your transportation to Misty Island.

The Sculptor's Muse

Your first objective on Misty Island is recovering the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse is elusive. You'll need to chase it, utilizing roll jumps and strategically breaking large bones to create pathways. Mastering the Muse's route and timing your jumps is key to capturing it. Return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for another Power Cell (save this for later).

Blue Eco and the First Power Cell

After capturing the Muse, locate a platforming section with blue eco orbs. Collect these orbs and activate the Precursor Platform (see image 3) with your charged Blue Eco to cross the gap and obtain a Power Cell.

Conquering the Lurker Arena

To reach the next Power Cell, you'll face a challenging arena. Charge with Blue Eco and enter the Precursor Door. Waves of Lurkers attack, alongside falling explosives. Utilize the Red Eco they drop to your advantage, and stay mobile to avoid the explosive barrage. Defeat the Lurkers to reveal stairs leading to the Dark Eco Pool and its Power Cell.

Scaling the Lurker Ship

Head right from the arena to Misty Island's Bay and the Lurker Ship, accessible via a bridge. Climb the ship's right side to reach the top and claim another Power Cell.

Disabling the Cannon

Ascend the ramp, dodging falling logs (jump over rolling logs, walk under bouncing ones). Utilize the side platforms for respite. 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 to collect more Precursor Orbs.

Defeating the Balloon Lurkers

Use the Zoomer (accessed via a trans-pad near the Lurker Ship) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Carefully maneuver between mines to ram the Lurkers and claim a Power Cell. Their predictable flight paths make this task manageable.

Zoomer Power Cell

Utilize the Zoomer to reach a final Power Cell. Follow the ramp (image 1), turn right, and navigate around a rock (image 2) to reach the launching point. Accelerate, hop just before the edge, and grab the Precursor Orbs and Power Cell.

Collecting the Seven Scout Flies

Seven Scout Flies are scattered across Misty Island:

1. During the Muse chase, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach a high cliff.
2. & 3. Before the arena door (see image above), navigate crumbling paths.
3. After exiting the arena, use a seesaw to reach a cliff overlooking the Bay.
4. & 6. On and near the Lurker Ship.
5. Near the top of the Zoomer ramp.

After collecting the final Scout Fly and Power Cell, return the Sculptor's Muse to complete your Misty Island adventure.
