Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's Misty Island: A Comprehensive Guide to Power Cells and Scout Flies
Misty Island, a key location in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, presents a thrilling challenge for players. This guide details how to navigate its dangers and acquire all its hidden treasures, including Power Cells and Scout Flies. Getting there requires first completing a task in the Forbidden Jungle: help the fisherman catch 200 pounds of fish to earn a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat.
1. The Sculptor's Muse:
Your initial quest on Misty Island involves retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, it's a quick-footed target. You'll need to chase it, utilizing roll jumps and strategically breaking large bones to create pathways. Master its movements and intercept it during sharp turns for a successful capture. Return the Muse to Sandover Village later for a Power Cell reward.
2. Blue Eco and the First Power Cell:
After retrieving the Muse, locate a platforming area with blue eco orbs. Collect as much blue eco as possible and use it to activate a Precursor Platform, bridging a gap to obtain a Power Cell.
3. Dark Eco Pool Arena and Power Cell:
This Power Cell requires facing a Lurker arena. Charge with blue eco and enter the Precursor Door. Defeat waves of Lurkers, utilizing their dropped red eco to your advantage, while avoiding falling explosives. Once victorious, climb the revealed stairs to the Dark Eco Pool and claim the Power Cell.
4. Lurker Ship Power Cell:
Head right from the arena to the bay and cross a bridge to reach a Lurker Ship. Climb the ship's right side to reach the top and acquire another Power Cell.
5. Cannon Power Cell:
Ascend the ramp, dodging rolling and bouncing logs. Utilize platforms for respite. Eliminate the two Lurkers guarding the cannon at the top for a Power Cell. Use the cannon to break open metal boxes in the arena below for additional Precursor Orbs.
6. Balloon Lurkers and Zoomer Chase:
Use the Zoomer (accessible via a trans-pad near the Lurker Ship) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Precise use of the Zoomer's brakes, accelerator, and hop is crucial to navigate mines while targeting the Lurkers. Successfully eliminating them yields a Power Cell.
7. Zoomer Power Cell:
Using the Zoomer, navigate a ramp and maneuver around a rock to reach a platform. Accelerate towards the edge, hopping just before the launch to grab Precursor Orbs and a Power Cell.
8. Seven Scout Flies:
Locate and collect seven Scout Flies scattered across Misty Island.
- Scout Fly 1: During the Muse chase, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach a clifftop.
- Scout Fly 2 & 3: Before the arena door, navigate a crumbling path and a gap to the left.
- Scout Fly 4: After exiting the arena, use a seesaw to reach a cliff overlooking the bay.
- Scout Fly 5 & 6: On the Lurker Ship and on a platform halfway up the log-laden ramp.
- Scout Fly 7: Near the top of the ramp used to reach the final Zoomer Power Cell.
Once you've collected all seven Scout Flies, and after returning the Sculptor's Muse, your Misty Island adventure is complete!
