Jak and Daxter: Misty Island Power Cells Guide

In Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Misty Island looms on the horizon, a place of both dread and intrigue. It's where the game's pivotal event occurred, resulting in Daxter's transformation into an Ottsel. Despite their initial hesitation, Jak and Daxter can uncover many secrets and treasures on Misty Island, provided they can reach it.

To access Misty Island, players must assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle to catch 200 pounds of good fish. Completing this task rewards you with a Power Cell and the right to use the Speedboat in Sandover Village, your key to reaching Misty Island.

Catch the Sculptor's Muse

Upon arriving at Misty Island, your first task is to retrieve the Sculptor's Lost Muse. If you've spoken to the Sculptor in Sandover Village, you're aware you're hunting for a golden creature resembling Daxter in size and shape. The Muse is near the docks where you land but won't stay still. You'll need to chase it around the initial section of Misty Island, using roll jumps to keep up. Strategically break large bones to create bridges along its path, learn its route, and master the platforming required to catch up. When the Muse makes a sharp turn, use a well-timed roll jump to intercept it. Once captured, return it to the Sculptor in Sandover Village to claim your Power Cell, though it's best to save this trip until after exploring Misty Island further.

Use Blue Eco to Reach the Power Cell

After securing the Muse, head back to its original location and turn right towards a platforming section with blue eco orbs leading to a Precursor Door. Gather as much Blue Eco as possible as you navigate around to the right, bypassing the door for now. Continue toward the Precursor Platform shown in image 3. With enough Blue Eco, touching the platform will transport you over the gap to claim the Power Cell.

Return to the Dark Eco Pool

For the next Power Cell, return to the arena leading to the Dark Eco Pool. Charge up with Blue Eco and enter through the large Precursor Door mentioned earlier. You'll face waves of Lurkers in an arena, dodging explosive shots from above. Use the Red Eco dropped by the Lurkers to fight back effectively and keep moving to evade the explosives. Once victorious, climb the newly appeared stairs to reach the Dark Eco Pool and collect the Power Cell.

Climb the Lurker Ship

Exiting the arena, turn right towards Misty Island's Bay. A bridge leads to a Lurker Ship. Cross it and climb the right side of the ship to reach the top, where you'll find another Power Cell.

Stop the Cannon

Continue upward from the Lurker Ship, dodging logs thrown by Lurkers. Jump over rolling logs and walk under bouncing ones. Use side platforms to rest and find your rhythm. At the top, defeat the Lurkers by the cannon to obtain a Power Cell. Use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena below and collect additional Precursor Orbs.

Destroy the Balloon Lurkers

With the cannon dealt with, it's time to tackle the Balloon Lurkers in the bay using the Zoomer. Find the Zoomer trans-pad near the Lurker Ship and drive out into the bay. Carefully use the Zoomer's brakes, accelerator, and hop to maneuver between explosive mines and crash into the Lurkers piloting the balloons, destroying them in the process. The balloons follow a predictable route, making it easier to plan your attacks. After defeating five, you'll earn a Power Cell.

Use the Zoomer to Reach the Power Cell

After eliminating the Lurker Balloons, use the Zoomer to grab a floating Power Cell. Ride up the ramp shown in image 1, take a right turn, and navigate around the rock to the section shown in image 2. Accelerate toward the edge and hop just before launching off to collect the Precursor Orbs and the Power Cell.

Free 7 Scout Flies

Finally, collect the Seven Scout Flies scattered around Misty Island. The first is along the Muse's chase route, near a seesaw with a boulder. Hop onto the opposite end and use a ground pound to launch the rock, propelling you onto the cliff with the Scout Fly Box.

The next two Scout Fly Boxes are near the arena door where you gathered Blue Eco. One is reachable by running and jumping along the crumbling path shown in the image above, while the other is through the gap on the left in the same image.

The fourth Scout Fly Box is found by taking the left path after leaving the arena. Use the seesaw on the left side of this path to reach the top of the cliffs, where the Scout Fly Box overlooks the Bay.

The fifth and sixth Scout Fly Boxes are on the Lurker Ship in the Bay. The fifth is just past the bridge you used to board the ship, and the sixth is on one of the safe platforms halfway up the log-filled ramp.

The final Scout Fly Box is near the top of the same ramp mentioned in "Use the Zoomer to Reach the Power Cell," accessible while riding the Zoomer in the Bay. With this Power Cell collected, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village to complete your Misty Island adventure.
