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

Following Fire Canyon, Precursor Basin presents a less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, vehicle-based level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Mastering the Zoomer is crucial for trophy hunters aiming to collect every item. This guide details each objective.

Herd the Moles

This initial task involves guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Simply nudge them towards their holes. Utilize the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns to maintain pursuit. Reward: A Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.

Catch the Flying Lurkers

These creatures flee upon the Zoomer's approach. Chase and ram them. Strategic interception at turns is key. The final Lurker drops a Power Cell.

Beat Record Time on the Gorge

Gorge Race Course

The goal is to complete this race in under 45 seconds. Utilize Lurkers for extra height. Strategic use of Blue Eco speed boosts, found between pillars and in tunnels, is essential. Avoid Dark Eco crates. A precise 180-degree turn after the final crates is crucial. An optional, riskier route uses a Lurker for an additional speed boost. Reward: A Power Cell from the Gambler. A time under 40 seconds earns a trophy.

Get the Power Cell Over the Lake

This involves navigating a series of narrow bridges and gaps. Precise hops and timing are necessary to reach the Power Cell across multiple islands.

Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants

Use Green Eco to charge the Zoomer and drive through the purple plants to cure them. Speed and efficient turns are key, as plants regenerate if you take too long. Reward: A Power Cell.

Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings

Purple Rings

This time trial requires passing through a series of rings before time expires. The most challenging sections involve aerial rings requiring precise jumps off bridges. Completing this earns a Power Cell.

Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings

Blue Rings

This is a more difficult ring challenge. The route includes several tricky jumps, notably one over the lake requiring a rock bounce for height, and another off a hill near the Dark Eco plants. Precise navigation around pillars and across narrow paths is vital. Reward: A Power Cell.

Free the 7 Scout Flies
