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

Mastering Precursor Basin in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Precursor Basin, following Fire Canyon, presents a seemingly less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, Zoomer-based level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. This guide details how to conquer its demanding objectives and claim every reward.

Herd the Moles

This initial task involves guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Simply nudge them with the Zoomer, utilizing sharp turns via the hop mechanic to keep them moving towards their holes. Reward: A Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.

Catch the Flying Lurkers

Located in the same area, these Lurkers require a direct hit from the Zoomer. Anticipate their movements and cut them off at turns for efficient captures. Reward: A Power Cell from the final Lurker.

Beat the Gorge Record Time (45 Seconds)

This race challenges you to complete a short but intricate course in under 45 seconds. Utilize Lurkers for extra height, and strategically collect Blue Eco for speed boosts. Avoid Dark Eco Crates by sticking to the center of the track. Master the hop-turn for sharp maneuvers, especially around the pit. A time under 40 seconds earns a trophy. Reward: A Power Cell from the Gambler.

Obtain the Lake Power Cell

Starting from the slope near the Lurker chase area, navigate a series of narrow bridges and gaps, utilizing hops and precise timing to reach the Power Cell across the lake. This requires multiple hops across several islands.

Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants

Charge with Green Eco and drive through the purple plants to cure them. Speed and efficient turns are key, as plants regenerate if you take too long. Reward: A Power Cell.

Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings

This time trial involves passing through a series of appearing rings before time runs out. The most challenging sections involve aerial rings requiring precise jumps off ledges. Reward: A Power Cell.

Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings

A more difficult ring challenge requiring precise navigation around pillars and across the lake. Utilize the rocks near the lake for a high jump to reach an aerial ring. Careful maneuvering is crucial throughout the course.

The final section demands precise turns and jumps to navigate a series of rings on narrow paths and elevated areas.

Reward: A Power Cell.

Free the Seven Scout Flies

Collect all seven Scout Fly boxes scattered throughout Precursor Basin. Several are located in easily accessible areas, while others require careful exploration and platforming. Reward: A Power Cell. This completes all objectives within Precursor Basin.
