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

Navigating Misty Island in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Misty Island, a significant location in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, presents a thrilling challenge for players. Its importance, as the site of Daxter's transformation, makes a return somewhat daunting, yet rewarding for those willing to brave its perils. This guide details how to access and conquer Misty Island's secrets.

Accessing Misty Island

To reach Misty Island, players must first assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle, catching 200 pounds of fish. This earns a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat in Sandover Village, the key to reaching the island.

The Sculptor's Muse

The initial task on Misty Island involves retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse requires a chase, utilizing roll jumps to navigate the terrain and strategically intercept it. Breaking large bones creates bridges, facilitating pursuit. Once captured, the Muse must be returned to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for a Power Cell reward (best saved for later).

Blue Eco and the Precursor Door

After obtaining the Muse, a platforming section with blue eco orbs leads to a Precursor Door. Collecting ample Blue Eco and activating the Precursor Platform (as shown in image 3) grants access to a Power Cell.

Conquering the Lurker Arena

The next Power Cell lies within an arena guarded by Lurkers. Utilizing Blue Eco, players enter the arena, battling waves of Lurkers while dodging explosive projectiles. Exploiting dropped Red Eco aids in combat. Victory reveals stairs leading to the Dark Eco Pool and the Power Cell.

The Lurker Ship and Cannon Challenge

A Lurker Ship, accessible via a bridge in the bay, houses another Power Cell. Climbing the ship's right side reveals the reward. Further upward, a ramp challenge involves dodging rolling and bouncing logs to reach a cannon. Defeating the guarding Lurkers earns a Power Cell, and the cannon can be used to destroy metal boxes in the arena for Precursor Orbs.

Balloon Lurker Showdown

Using the Zoomer, players must eliminate five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Careful use of the Zoomer's controls, including hopping for sharper turns, is crucial to navigate mines while targeting the Lurkers. Success yields a Power Cell.

Zoomer Power Cell and Scout Flies

A final Power Cell is reachable via the Zoomer, requiring a ramp ascent, a right turn around a rock, and a well-timed hop to reach the Precursor Orbs and Power Cell.

Seven Scout Flies

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

1. Along the Muse's route, using a seesaw and ground pound to reach a cliff.
2. & 3. Near the arena door, requiring precise jumping along a crumbling path (as shown in image 1).
3. Left of the arena exit, utilizing 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.

Collecting all seven Scout Flies completes the Misty Island challenge. Returning the Muse to the Sculptor finalizes the island's exploration.
