Power Cells Recovered: Misty Island Fully Explored in Jak and Daxter Legacy

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, initially presents a challenge to access. Its significance as the site of Daxter's transformation and the game's pivotal event makes a return understandably daunting. However, for those brave enough to venture forth, Misty Island holds numerous secrets and rewards.

Accessing Misty Island

To reach Misty Island, you must first assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle's river, helping him catch 200 pounds of fish. This task earns you a Power Cell and unlocks the Speedboat in Sandover Village, providing access to the island.

1. The Sculptor's Muse

Your initial task is to recover the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse is elusive, requiring a chase across Misty Island. Utilize roll jumps to maintain pace, strategically breaking large bones to create pathways. Intercept 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

After retrieving the Muse, proceed to the right of the docks to find a platforming area with blue eco orbs leading to a Precursor Door. Collect the Blue Eco and proceed to the Precursor Platform (see image 3). Activate the platform with your Blue Eco charge to cross the gap and obtain a Power Cell.

3. The Dark Eco Pool Arena

Next, return to the Dark Eco Pool, but not before facing an arena challenge. Charge with Blue Eco and enter the Precursor Door. Waves of Lurkers will attack, alongside explosive projectiles. Use the Red Eco dropped by Lurkers to your advantage, and stay mobile to avoid explosions. After defeating the Lurkers, stairs will appear, leading to the Dark Eco Pool and a Power Cell.

4. The Lurker Ship

Exit the arena, turn right, and cross the bridge to the Lurker Ship. Climb the ship's right side to reach the top and claim another Power Cell.

5. The Cannon

Ascend the ramp, dodging logs thrown by Lurkers. Jump over rolling logs and walk under bouncing ones, utilizing platforms for rests. Defeat the two Lurkers near 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 and the Zoomer

Use the Zoomer (accessible via the opposite bridge from the Lurker Ship) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Careful use of the Zoomer's brakes, accelerator, and hop is crucial to avoid mines while targeting the Lurkers. This nets you another Power Cell.

7. Zoomer Power Cell

Ride the ramp (as shown in image 1), turn right, and navigate around the rock (image 2). Accelerate towards the edge, hopping just before launching to collect Precursor Orbs and a Power Cell.

8. Scout Flies

Seven Scout Flies are scattered across Misty Island:

• One is found along the Muse's route. Use a seesaw and ground pound to reach the clifftop. (Image 1)
• Two are near the arena door (before the Blue Eco platform). Traverse the crumbling path (Image 2).
• One is on a cliff overlooking the bay, accessed via a seesaw to the left of the arena exit.
• Two are on the Lurker Ship (one near the bridge, the other on a platform up the ramp).
• One is near the top of the ramp used for the Zoomer Power Cell.

After collecting all Scout Flies and returning the Muse, your Misty Island adventure concludes.
