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 vehicle section in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Its difficulty stems from the intricate objectives required for completion, especially for trophy hunters aiming for 100% completion.
Herding Moles
Begin by gently nudging the moles in the initial area towards their burrows using the Zoomer. Utilize the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns to effectively guide them. Returning four moles to their holes rewards you with a Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.
Catching Flying Lurkers
These elusive creatures also inhabit the mole area. Chase and ram them to complete this objective. Strategic interception during their turns proves highly effective. The final Lurker drops another Power Cell.
Conquering the Gorge Time Trial
The Gambler challenges you to beat a 45-second record on the Gorge race track, located near the Basin's entrance (hug the right wall). Utilize Lurkers for extra height and strategically grab Blue Eco speed boosts. Avoid Dark Eco crates and master the hop-turns, especially the 180-degree turn at the pit. A sub-40-second time earns a trophy.
Retrieving the Lake Power Cell
Starting from the slope (Image 1, familiar from the Lurker chase), navigate the narrow bridge and utilize hops to traverse the islands (Images 2-5). Maintain top speed for the final jump to the Precursor Orb.
Healing the Dark Eco Plants
Use Green Eco to revitalize the infected purple plants. Efficient driving and the hop maneuver are crucial to complete this before they regrow.
Navigating the Purple Precursor Rings
This ring challenge requires quick reflexes. The most challenging segment involves a mid-air ring off a natural bridge. A precise hop is needed to successfully navigate this section and complete the course.
Navigating the Blue Precursor Rings
The blue rings present a significantly tougher challenge. Master the hops off rocks for the airborne ring over the lake. Careful navigation around pillars and precise timing are essential.
The tricky hop off the hill near the Dark Eco plants requires precise timing. The final stretch demands careful maneuvering on narrow paths.
Liberating the Scout Flies
Collecting all seven Scout Flies yields a final Power Cell. Their locations are strategically scattered throughout the area, often requiring exploration of previously traversed paths. Remember to check the locations mentioned in the text above.
