Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's Misty Island: A Comprehensive Guide to Power Cells and Scout Flies
Misty Island, a location central to Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's plot, initially presents a challenge to access. However, its secrets and rewards are well worth the effort for those prepared.
Unlocking Misty Island:
First, assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle 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 Misty Island docks, the Muse requires a chase. Utilize roll jumps and strategically break bones to create pathways, intercepting its 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 First Power Cell:
After retrieving the Muse, locate a platforming area with blue eco orbs. Collect the orbs, then use the charged Blue Eco on the Precursor Platform to cross the gap and obtain a Power Cell.
Conquering the Lurker Arena:
Next, return to the area where your adventure began. A Lurker arena awaits. Defeat waves of Lurkers, using their dropped Red Eco to your advantage, while dodging falling explosives. Victory reveals stairs leading to the Dark Eco Pool and another Power Cell.
The Lurker Ship Power Cell:
Proceed to Misty Island's Bay and cross the bridge to the Lurker Ship. Climb to the ship's top to claim a Power Cell.
The Cannon and Precursor Orbs:
Ascend the ramp, dodging rolling and bouncing logs. Eliminate the Lurkers guarding the cannon at the top for a Power Cell. Utilize the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena below, revealing Precursor Orbs.
Balloon Lurker Challenge:
Use the Zoomer (accessible via a trans-pad near the Lurker Ship) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Careful maneuvering between mines is crucial. Defeating them rewards you with a Power Cell.
Zoomer and the Final Power Cell:
Navigate the Zoomer up a ramp, around a rock, and accelerate towards an edge, performing a hop to reach a platform containing Precursor Orbs and a Power Cell.
Collecting the Seven Scout Flies:
Seven Scout Flies are scattered across Misty Island:
- During the Muse chase, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach a clifftop location.
- & 3. Two are near the arena entrance, requiring precise jumping across a crumbling path. (See image 1)
- Use a seesaw to access a cliff overlooking the bay.
- & 6. These are located on and near the Lurker Ship. (See image 2)
- Found near the top of the Zoomer ramp.
After collecting all seven Scout Flies and delivering the Sculptor's Muse, your Misty Island adventure concludes.
