Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's Misty Island: A Comprehensive Guide to Power Cells and Scout Flies
Misty Island, a location pivotal to the narrative of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, presents a thrilling challenge for players. This guide details how to navigate its dangers and claim all its rewards. Accessing Misty Island itself requires completing a task in the Forbidden Jungle: help the fisherman catch 200 pounds of fish to earn a Power Cell and unlock the Speedboat.
1. The Sculptor's Muse:
Your first objective is to retrieve the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse is elusive. Chase it, utilizing roll jumps and strategically breaking large bones to create pathways. Master the platforming challenges to intercept the Muse during its turns. Once captured, return it to Sandover Village for a Power Cell (save this for later).
2. Blue Eco and the Precursor Door:
After retrieving the Muse, locate a platforming area with blue eco orbs near the docks. Collect these orbs and activate the Precursor Platform (as shown in image 3) using your Blue Eco charge to reach a hidden Power Cell.
3. Dark Eco Pool Arena:
Next, access the Precursor Door (mentioned above) to enter an arena filled with Lurkers. Defeat them using the Red Eco they drop, while avoiding falling explosives. Victory unlocks a path to the Dark Eco Pool, where another Power Cell awaits.
4. The Lurker Ship:
Follow the path from the arena to Misty Island's Bay and cross the bridge to the Lurker Ship. Climb the ship's right side to reach the top and claim a Power Cell.
5. Cannon Challenge:
Ascend the ramp, dodging rolling and bouncing logs thrown by Lurkers. 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 Lurker Assault:
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 the mines and target the Lurkers effectively. Eliminating them rewards you with a Power Cell.
7. Zoomer Power Cell:
Ride the Zoomer up the ramp (as shown in image 1), navigate around the rock (image 2), accelerate towards the edge, and execute a well-timed hop to reach a final Power Cell and Precursor Orbs.
8. Seven Scout Flies:
Locate all seven Scout Flies:
- Fly 1: During the Muse chase, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach a clifftop.
- Flies 2 & 3: Near the arena door (before the Blue Eco platform); navigate a crumbling path (see image above).
- Fly 4: To the left of the arena exit; use a seesaw to reach a cliff overlooking the bay.
- Flies 5 & 6: On and near the Lurker Ship; one is past the bridge, the other on a platform halfway up the log-ramp.
- Fly 7: Near the top of the Zoomer ramp (mentioned in section 7).
After collecting all Power Cells and Scout Flies, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village to complete your Misty Island adventure.
