Misty Island, a perilous yet rewarding location in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, awaits those brave enough to navigate its challenges. This guide details how to access and conquer Misty Island, unlocking its hidden Power Cells and treasures.
Reaching Misty Island requires 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 first objective: retrieve the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Locate it near the Misty Island docks and prepare for a chase. Use roll jumps and strategically destroy large bones to create pathways, intercepting the Muse during its turns to capture it. Return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for a Power Cell (save this for later).
2. Blue Eco and the Precursor Door:
Near the docks, find a path with blue eco orbs leading to a Precursor Door. Collect the Blue Eco, then proceed to the Precursor Platform (see image 3). Activate the platform with your Blue Eco charge to cross the gap and claim a Power Cell.
3. The Dark Eco Pool Arena:
Return to the Precursor Door, entering an arena teeming with Lurkers. Defeat the Lurkers, utilizing their dropped Red Eco to your advantage, while avoiding aerial explosives. Once victorious, climb the revealed stairs to the Dark Eco Pool and retrieve another Power Cell.
4. The Lurker Ship:
Follow the path to Misty Island's Bay and board the Lurker Ship via the bridge. Climb to the ship's top to obtain a Power Cell.
5. The Cannon Challenge:
Ascend the ramp, dodging rolling and bouncing logs. Utilize the side platforms for respite. Eliminate the two Lurkers guarding the cannon at the top to secure a Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena below for additional Precursor Orbs.
6. Balloon Lurker Showdown:
Use the Zoomer (accessible via the Lurker Ship's opposite bridge) to destroy five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Master the Zoomer's controls (brakes, accelerator, hop) to navigate mines and effectively target the Lurkers, earning a Power Cell.
7. Zoomer Power Cell:
Navigate the ramp (image 1), turn right, and circumnavigate the rock (image 2). Accelerate towards the edge, hopping just before launching to grab the Precursor Orbs and a Power Cell.
8. Seven Scout Flies:
Locate the seven Scout Flies:
- Fly 1: During the Muse chase, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach a clifftop.
- Flies 2 & 3: Before the arena door (near the Blue Eco path, see image above).
- Fly 4: After the arena, use a seesaw to access a cliff overlooking the bay.
- Flies 5 & 6: On and near the Lurker Ship.
- Fly 7: Near the top of the ramp used in step 7.
After collecting all seven Scout Flies and the final Power Cell, return the Muse to the Sculptor to complete your Misty Island adventure.
