Mastering the Zoomer in Jak and Daxter: Precursor Basin – A Comprehensive Guide
Precursor Basin, following Fire Canyon, presents a seemingly less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, vehicle-based level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. This guide details each objective to help you conquer Precursor Basin and claim every trophy.
Herd the Moles:
This initial task involves guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Simply nudge them gently with the Zoomer, using its hop function for sharp turns to keep them moving towards their homes. Reward: A Power Cell.
Catch the Flying Lurkers:
Located in the same area, these creatures require a more aggressive approach. Chase and ram into them to complete this objective. Strategic intercepts at turns are key. Reward: A Power Cell.
Beat Record Time on the Gorge:
The goal is to complete this race in under 45 seconds. Utilize Lurkers for extra height, and strategically collect Blue Eco for speed boosts. Avoid Dark Eco Crates. A sharp 180-degree turn at the pit is crucial. Consider a risky Lurker-assisted jump for additional Blue Eco or opt for a safer, albeit slightly slower, route. Reward: A Power Cell and a trophy for sub-40 seconds.
Get the Power Cell Over the Lake:
This requires precise driving and timing. Navigate the narrow bridges and utilize hops to traverse gaps between islands. The final jump to the Power Cell requires top speed.
Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants:
Charge with Green Eco and drive through the purple plants to cure them. Speed and precision are essential to prevent regrowth. Reward: A Power Cell.
Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings:
This time trial involves passing through a series of rings before time runs out. The key is to make a daring jump off a bridge to reach an airborne ring. Completing this course awards a Power Cell.
Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings:
The blue rings present a significantly more difficult challenge. Precise driving and skillful use of hops are crucial, especially when navigating the pillar and airborne rings over the lake.
Careful navigation around the Zoomer Trans-pad is essential. A tricky hop off a hill is required to reach another airborne ring. The final section demands precise maneuvering through a series of tightly spaced rings.
Reward: A Power Cell.
Free the 7 Scout Flies:
Collecting all seven Scout Flies rewards a Power Cell. Their locations are spread throughout the level, some requiring exploration of elevated areas and hidden paths.
By mastering these techniques, you'll be well-equipped to conquer Precursor Basin's challenges and reap its rewards.
