Uncover All Misty Island Power Cells in Jak and Daxter

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's Misty Island: A Comprehensive Guide to Power Cells and Scout Flies

Misty Island, a location central to Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's plot, initially presents a challenge to reach. This guide details how to access the island and conquer its various challenges to collect all Power Cells and Scout Flies.

Accessing Misty Island

Before venturing to Misty Island, you must assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle's river, catching 200 pounds of fish. This task rewards you with a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat in Sandover Village, your transportation to Misty Island.

The Sculptor's Muse

Your first objective on Misty Island involves retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse requires a chase. Utilize roll jumps and strategically break large bones to create pathways, intercepting the Muse during its turns. Once captured, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for a Power Cell (save this for later).

Blue Eco and the First Power Cell

After acquiring the Muse, locate a platforming section with blue eco orbs near the docks. Collect these orbs, then use the charged Blue Eco to activate the Precursor Platform, bridging the gap to a Power Cell.

Conquering the Lurker Arena

To obtain the next Power Cell, return to the area where your Misty Island adventure began. Enter the Precursor Door, leading to an arena where you'll face waves of Lurkers. Use the Red Eco they drop to your advantage, and stay mobile to dodge aerial explosives. Victory unlocks a path to the Dark Eco Pool and its Power Cell.

The Lurker Ship and Cannon Power Cells

Proceed to Misty Island's Bay and access the Lurker Ship via a bridge. Climb the ship to obtain a Power Cell. Next, navigate a ramp, dodging thrown logs (jump over rolling logs, walk under bouncing ones), to reach a cannon. Defeat the two Lurkers guarding it for another Power Cell; then, utilize the cannon to break open metal boxes in the arena for additional Precursor Orbs.

Zoomer Challenges and Power Cells

Use the Zoomer, accessible via a trans-pad near the Lurker Ship, to defeat five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Master the Zoomer's controls (brakes, accelerator, hop) to navigate mines and effectively target the Lurkers. This earns you a Power Cell. Finally, use the Zoomer to reach a higher platform, requiring a well-timed hop near the edge, to collect another Power Cell and Precursor Orbs.

Collecting the Seven Scout Flies

Seven Scout Flies are hidden across Misty Island:

1. During the Muse chase, use a seesaw and ground pound to reach a clifftop Scout Fly Box.
2. Before the arena door (near the Blue Eco section), navigate a crumbling path and a gap to find two more.
3. After the arena, use a seesaw to reach a cliff overlooking the bay for another Scout Fly Box.
4. On the Lurker Ship, find one just past the bridge.
5. Another Scout Fly Box is located on a safe platform halfway up the log-strewn ramp.
6. The final Scout Fly Box is near the top of the Zoomer ramp.

Once all Scout Flies are collected, and after returning the Sculptor's Muse, your Misty Island adventure is complete.
