Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's Misty Island: A Comprehensive Guide to Power Cells and Scout Flies
Misty Island, a location central to the plot of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, presents a significant challenge for players. This guide will walk you through obtaining all Power Cells and Scout Flies on the island.
Accessing Misty Island:
Before venturing to Misty Island, you must assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle's river by catching 200 pounds of fish. This reward grants you a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat in Sandover Village, your transportation to the island.
1. The Sculptor's Muse:
Your initial task is retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Locate it near the docks. The Muse is elusive, requiring you to chase it across the island's initial area. Utilize roll jumps and strategically destroy large bones to create pathways, intercepting 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 Platform:
After retrieving the Muse, head right from your starting point. Navigate a platforming section collecting Blue Eco orbs. Ignore the Precursor Door initially; instead, proceed to the Precursor Platform (see image 3). While charged with Blue Eco, touch the platform to cross the gap and obtain a Power Cell.
3. The Dark Eco Pool Arena:
Return to the area where your Misty Island adventure began. Engage in an arena battle against waves of Lurkers, dodging explosive projectiles. Utilize the Red Eco they drop for an advantage. Upon victory, stairs will appear, leading to the Dark Eco Pool and another Power Cell.
4. The Lurker Ship:
Turn right after clearing the arena. Cross the bridge to the Lurker Ship. Climb the ship's right side to reach the top and claim a Power Cell.
5. The Cannon:
Ascend the ramp, dodging logs thrown by Lurkers. Jump over rolling logs and walk under bouncing ones. Utilize the side platforms for respite. Defeat the two Lurkers guarding the cannon at the top for a Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena below for additional Precursor Orbs.
6. Balloon Lurkers:
Use the Zoomer (accessed via the trans-pad near the Lurker Ship, taking the opposite bridge) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Carefully navigate around mines using the Zoomer's hop and sharp turns to target the Lurkers, earning a Power Cell.
7. Zoomer Power Cell:
Ascend the ramp (as shown in image 1), turn right, and maneuver around the rock (image 2). Accelerate towards the edge and hop just before launching off to grab the Precursor Orbs and 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 cliff.
- Flies 2 & 3: Near the arena entrance (before the Blue Eco platform), navigate crumbling paths (see image above).
- Fly 4: Left of the arena exit, use a seesaw to reach a cliff overlooking the bay.
- Flies 5 & 6: On and near the Lurker Ship.
- Fly 7: Near the top of the ramp used to reach the final Zoomer Power Cell (as in section 7).
After collecting all seven Scout Flies and the final Power Cell, return the Sculptor's Muse to complete your Misty Island exploration.
