Jak and Daxter: All Precursor Basin Power Cells Found!

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's Precursor Basin: A Zoomer Driving Challenge

Following Fire Canyon's intense Zoomer level, Precursor Basin offers a comparatively less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, driving experience. Mastering the Zoomer is crucial for completing all objectives and securing every trophy.

Herding Moles

Begin by gently nudging the moles in the initial area with the Zoomer, guiding them back to their holes. Use the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns to keep up with their erratic movements. Returning four moles to their burrows rewards you with a Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.

Catching Flying Lurkers

These elusive creatures in the same area as the moles scatter upon the Zoomer's approach. Chase and ram them. Strategically cut them off during turns to increase your chances of success. The final Lurker drops a Power Cell.

Gorge Race

Beat the 45-second record on the Gorge race track near Precursor Basin's entrance (hug the right wall to find it). Utilize Lurkers for extra height and strategically collect Blue Eco for speed boosts. Avoid Dark Eco Crates by sticking to the center of the track. A precise 180-degree turn after the pit is key. A faster time (under 40 seconds) earns a trophy. Completing the race rewards a Power Cell from the Gambler.

Lake Power Cell

Starting from the slope used for chasing Lurkers, navigate the narrow bridge and use hops to cross gaps between islands. A final 180-degree turn and hop leads to the Power Cell. (Refer to images for visual guidance).

Dark Eco Plant Cure

Charge with Green Eco and drive through the purple plants to cure them. Quick, precise driving is essential to prevent regrowth. Utilize the hop for sharp turns and the Green Eco Vent for refills. Completion grants a Power Cell.

Purple Precursor Rings

Navigate the appearing rings before time runs out. The most challenging parts involve aerial rings requiring precise hops off elevated areas. Completing this earns a Power Cell.

Blue Precursor Rings

This more demanding ring course starts near the lake Power Cell location. Key challenges include: a high ring over the lake (use rocks for a boost), a tricky hop off a hill near the Dark Eco plants, and precise navigation around pillars and across narrow paths. (Refer to images for visual guidance). Successfully completing the course yields a Power Cell.

Scout Flies

Collect all seven Scout Flies scattered throughout the area for another Power Cell. Their locations are detailed in the images and accompanying text.

By completing all these challenges, you'll not only master the Zoomer but also unlock numerous Power Cells and trophies, enriching your Jak and Daxter experience.
