Navigating Misty Island in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Misty Island, the site of Daxter's unfortunate transformation, presents a significant challenge in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. However, its hidden treasures and secrets are well worth the risk for those prepared. This guide details how to access and conquer Misty Island.

Accessing Misty Island:

First, assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle's river by helping him 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 initial task involves retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse requires a chase. Utilize roll jumps to keep pace, breaking large bones to create pathways. Master the Muse's route and strategically cut it off during sharp turns to capture it. Return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for a Power Cell (save this for later).

Blue Eco and the Precursor Door:

After retrieving the Muse, locate a platforming area with blue eco orbs to the right. Collect the Blue Eco and use it to activate the Precursor Platform (see image 3), bridging the gap to a Power Cell.

Confronting the Lurkers:

Return to the Dark Eco Pool, but first, face an arena challenge. Charge with Blue Eco and enter the Precursor Door. Defeat waves of Lurkers while dodging falling explosives, using their dropped Red Eco to your advantage. Once victorious, climb the revealed stairs to the Dark Eco Pool and claim the Power Cell.

The Lurker Ship:

Proceed to Misty Island's Bay and cross the bridge to the Lurker Ship. Climb the ship's right side to reach the top and obtain a Power Cell.

Disabling the Cannon:

Ascend the ramp, dodging rolling and bouncing logs thrown by Lurkers. Utilize the side platforms for respite. Eliminate the two Lurkers guarding the cannon at the top for another Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena for Precursor Orbs.

Defeating the Balloon Lurkers:

Use the Zoomer (accessible via the Lurker Ship's opposite bridge) to destroy five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Carefully navigate the mines while using the Zoomer's hop for sharper turns and side approaches. This yields a Power Cell.

The Zoomer and a Final Power Cell:

Ascend the ramp (image 1), navigate around the rock (image 2), and accelerate towards the edge, hopping just before launching to grab Precursor Orbs and a Power Cell.

Collecting the Scout Flies:

Seven Scout Flies are scattered across Misty Island. Their locations are as follows:

  1. Along the Muse's route, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach a cliff.
  2. & 3. Before the arena door (near the Blue Eco platform), navigate a crumbling path and a gap to the left (see image).
  3. After exiting the arena, use a seesaw to reach a cliff overlooking the bay.
  4. & 6. On the Lurker Ship and on a side platform halfway up the log-ramp.
  5. Near the top of the ramp used to reach the final Power Cell with the Zoomer.

After collecting all seven Scout Flies and handing the Muse to the Sculptor, your Misty Island adventure concludes.
