8. Free seven Scout Flies
-------------------------------------
Lava Tube
1. Cross The Lava Tube
After the spinning obstacle thing you had to destroy, take the path on the right. Don't forget the flies!
2. Free seven Scout Flies
-------------------------------------
Gol And Maia's Citadel
1. Free The Blue Sage
At the start, go over the two bridges on the left, and follow the tricky moving platforms to the wooden one. Then jump to the O shape platform, then to the next. Grab the eco to take the platform. Leap on the bricks before they are toasted, beat two traps, then free the sage by breaking the light on the machine. A cell for your trouble.
2. Free The Red Sage
At the start, go right and down the path across the pie-shaped platforms to a button for the bridge. Go Blue, green, yellow, red. You will then be ambushed, so attack, but keep going forward to the machine making infinite lurkers, smash it up, and deal with the remaining chaps. How across the pie shaped bits to the sage.
3. Free The Yellow Sage
At the start, go left, but take the large platforms instead of the bridge. Navigate some jumping and swinging to a door and the next puzzle. Top up with eco and use the spring pads to get across till you reach the metal again, then give the blender machine a slap for the sage.
4. Free The Green Sage
Do this one last, as the others raise the platform for access, to a pie puzzle, and then to a really tricky jumping puzzle, avoiding the machinery. There's no real trick to it, you just try and try. After that, go right, and break the structure for the sage.
5. Free seven Scout Flies
-------------------------------------
And that's it. Bear in mind that if you get all of these, and all the Precursor Orbs in every level (you can see how many you have left from the pause area), you will complete the game 101%, and open up a special bit, which you will have to see for yourself!
Take it easy,
Slave.

2. Story
========
Here is the story of the world of Jak & Daxter:
Jak and Daxter are two elf-like friends that live on one of a group of islands. As usual with many pairs of friends, they are a truly 'odd' couple: Jak is the strong, silent type while Daxter is a seemingly endless source of wisecracks. Before the game begins, Jak and Daxter sneak over to Misty Island where they witness a meeting of Lurkers with their masters, Gol and Maia. Before they're spotted, they sneak off and find a Dark Eco pool and a Precursor artifact. They're discovered and Jak fights off the lurker with the Precursor artifact but knocks Daxter into the Dark Eco. Daxter jumps out of the sludge as an 'ottsel' (part otter, part weasel). They return to the Green Sage, Samos, and are told only one person knows enough about Dark Eco to turn Daxter back. They also find out that the other sages have been out of touch for some time and the way to reach them is very dangerous. At this point, Samos's daughter Keira offers to help with a modified Zoomer that can resist the heat of the fiery Mountain Pass.
It is up to Jak and Daxter to stop the Lurkers' evil plan and find a way to turn Daxter into his normal elf form.

4. Quest Items
==============
These items are part of your quest:
Precursor Orbs - These appear as mauve eggs with some writing on them. You can trade these for power cells with various characters and the Oracles along the way; generally 90 Orbs per power cell from people and 120 Orbs per power cell from Oracles. Most Orbs are in plain sight, but some are contained in other objects such as Metal Boxes or the Blue Eco Device.
Power Cells - These are your main objectives in the game. They appear as glowing spheres with smaller spheres surrounding them. On the Progress Screen, you can see which of the power cell objectives you have completed and which you have discovered.
Scout Flies - These are small helicopter-like objects that were sent to each area by Keira. They do not begin in plain sight; instead, you need to open the red metal boxes they are in (Handstand Dive, Zoomer, Yellow Eco burst, Flut-Flut Dash). In each location, there are 7 Scout Flies that can be found for another power cell.
============
5. Eco Types
============
There are several types of Eco in the game. Touching a piece of Blue, Red, or Yellow Eco will add it to your Eco Meter. The Eco Meter steadily drains after touching pieces of Eco and the effects (and quantity) of Eco are only for the last color touched. (example: if you have a full meter of Blue Eco and hit a piece of Yellow Eco, your meter will show only one piece's worth of Yellow Eco)
Blue Eco - The effects of Blue Eco are as follows: Jak's movement speed is increased; nearby Orbs and green health crystals will glow blue then gravitate toward Jak; activation of several varieties of Precursor artifacts and devices (Orb Holder Devices, Precursor Doors, Jungle Temple Bridge, etc).
Red Eco - The effect of Red Eco is to increase attack power. Under the influence of Red Eco, Jak can knock down a vertical bone bridge or kill a Skeleton Lurker with one punch; however, his running speed is slightly reduced.
Yellow Eco - When Jak punches, a ball of Yellow Eco power will shoot from his fist. His running speed is reduced. Generally, Yellow Eco bursts will travel to the nearest place they'll be useful. A jump-shot (shooting a Yellow Eco burst while jumping) will be more accurate than a shot fired while standing or running.
Green Eco - When Jak opens most boxes & barrels and/or kill a lurker, small pieces of Green Eco will emerge. Collect 50 small pieces of Green Eco to gain a level back on Jak's health meter; if it's full, you can collect up to 50 pieces in reserve. Occasionally, you will encounter a large piece of Green Eco, it is worth 50 small pieces by itself. In two areas, there are Green Eco Vents (Sentinel Beach and Precursor Basin), these will return your health to full with 50 pieces' worth of Green Eco in reserve. The only time Green Eco affects the Eco Meter is in the Precursor Basin; the Green Eco Vent there is meant for curing the Dark Eco infected plants.
Dark Eco - This form of Eco is toxic. Contact with a box of Dark Eco will cause the box to explode and take 1 unit of health. Contact with the Dark Eco in the Dark Eco pools in various locations will kill Jak.
White Eco - This form of Eco only exists at ONE place in the game, the Gol & Maia's Precursor Robot boss fight. It appears as a small piece of the White Eco cloud that forms above the Precursor Silo; its only use is to deliver the final blow to the Precursor Robot. Its actual properties are a combination of Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green Eco.

E.v Misty Island - FAQs
-----------------------
Q. How is Misty Island different in the game as opposed to the demo?
A. In the full game, you start the area on the boat instead of the beach. Daxter gives an extra comment when approaching the starting beach about getting the creeps. Catching the Sculptor's Muse does not teleport you to the platform at the top of the long backbone bridge; you need to return to Sandover Village and speak to the Sculptor to get the power cell.
Q. How can I catch the Sculptor's Muse on Misty Island?
A. This is what I have found to be the easiest: Pay attention to the Muse's route. There are a couple places where he can be caught relatively easily. On the stairstep platforms at the top and bottom of the long backbone bridge, the Muse takes his time to hop on every step. By skipping steps or hopping down on him from above, you can catch him or get close enough to make a quick dash after him with the Punch button.

G.v Rock Village - FAQs
-----------------------
Q. How do I open the Blue Eco Device in Rock Village?
A. Generally, Blue Eco pieces you have already collected and have respawned will be automatically drawn to Jak while he is channeling Blue Eco. What you need to do is grab both pieces of Blue Eco and let them run out. Then, grab the piece behind the Geologist and run toward the second piece. When you see the second piece start moving (it will usually make a spiral course toward Jak.. you'll see it flash sideways in your view when it moves), turn toward the Blue Eco Device; don't wait until you actually get the second piece. Make a run for the Blue Eco Device and use 1 or 2 rolling jumps if necessary; more than 2 will waste time while Jak recovers from each to be of any use.

2. Story
========
Here is the story of the world of Jak & Daxter:
Jak and Daxter are two elf-like friends that live on one of a group of islands. As usual with many pairs of friends, they are a truly 'odd' couple: Jak is the strong, silent type while Daxter is a seemingly endless source of wisecracks. Before the game begins, Jak and Daxter sneak over to Misty Island where they witness a meeting of Lurkers with their masters, Gol and Maia. Before they're spotted, they sneak off and find a Dark Eco pool and a Precursor artifact. They're discovered and Jak fights off the lurker with the Precursor artifact but knocks Daxter into the Dark Eco. Daxter jumps out of the sludge as an 'ottsel' (part otter, part weasel). They return to the Green Sage, Samos, and are told only one person knows enough about Dark Eco to turn Daxter back. They also find out that the other sages have been out of touch for some time and the way to reach them is very dangerous. At this point, Samos's daughter Keira offers to help with a modified Zoomer that can resist the heat of the fiery Mountain Pass.
It is up to Jak and Daxter to stop the Lurkers' evil plan and find a way to turn Daxter into his normal elf form.

4. Quest Items
==============
These items are part of your quest:
Precursor Orbs - These appear as mauve eggs with some writing on them. You can trade these for power cells with various characters and the Oracles along the way; generally 90 Orbs per power cell from people and 120 Orbs per power cell from Oracles. Most Orbs are in plain sight, but some are contained in other objects such as Metal Boxes or the Blue Eco Device.
Power Cells - These are your main objectives in the game. They appear as glowing spheres with smaller spheres surrounding them. On the Progress Screen, you can see which of the power cell objectives you have completed and which you have discovered.
Scout Flies - These are small helicopter-like objects that were sent to each area by Keira. They do not begin in plain sight; instead, you need to open the red metal boxes they are in (Handstand Dive, Zoomer, Yellow Eco burst, Flut-Flut Dash). In each location, there are 7 Scout Flies that can be found for another power cell.
============
5. Eco Types
============
There are several types of Eco in the game. Touching a piece of Blue, Red, or Yellow Eco will add it to your Eco Meter. The Eco Meter steadily drains after touching pieces of Eco and the effects (and quantity) of Eco are only for the last color touched. (example: if you have a full meter of Blue Eco and hit a piece of Yellow Eco, your meter will show only one piece's worth of Yellow Eco)
Blue Eco - The effects of Blue Eco are as follows: Jak's movement speed is increased; nearby Orbs and green health crystals will glow blue then gravitate toward Jak; activation of several varieties of Precursor artifacts and devices (Orb Holder Devices, Precursor Doors, Jungle Temple Bridge, etc).
Red Eco - The effect of Red Eco is to increase attack power. Under the influence of Red Eco, Jak can knock down a vertical bone bridge or kill a Skeleton Lurker with one punch; however, his running speed is slightly reduced.
Yellow Eco - When Jak punches, a ball of Yellow Eco power will shoot from his fist. His running speed is reduced. Generally, Yellow Eco bursts will travel to the nearest place they'll be useful. A jump-shot (shooting a Yellow Eco burst while jumping) will be more accurate than a shot fired while standing or running.
Green Eco - When Jak opens most boxes & barrels and/or kill a lurker, small pieces of Green Eco will emerge. Collect 50 small pieces of Green Eco to gain a level back on Jak's health meter; if it's full, you can collect up to 50 pieces in reserve. Occasionally, you will encounter a large piece of Green Eco, it is worth 50 small pieces by itself. In two areas, there are Green Eco Vents (Sentinel Beach and Precursor Basin), these will return your health to full with 50 pieces' worth of Green Eco in reserve. The only time Green Eco affects the Eco Meter is in the Precursor Basin; the Green Eco Vent there is meant for curing the Dark Eco infected plants.
Dark Eco - This form of Eco is toxic. Contact with a box of Dark Eco will cause the box to explode and take 1 unit of health. Contact with the Dark Eco in the Dark Eco pools in various locations will kill Jak.
White Eco - This form of Eco only exists at ONE place in the game, the Gol & Maia's Precursor Robot boss fight. It appears as a small piece of the White Eco cloud that forms above the Precursor Silo; its only use is to deliver the final blow to the Precursor Robot. Its actual properties are a combination of Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green Eco.

E.v Misty Island - FAQs
-----------------------
Q. How is Misty Island different in the game as opposed to the demo?
A. In the full game, you start the area on the boat instead of the beach. Daxter gives an extra comment when approaching the starting beach about getting the creeps. Catching the Sculptor's Muse does not teleport you to the platform at the top of the long backbone bridge; you need to return to Sandover Village and speak to the Sculptor to get the power cell.
Q. How can I catch the Sculptor's Muse on Misty Island?
A. This is what I have found to be the easiest: Pay attention to the Muse's route. There are a couple places where he can be caught relatively easily. On the stairstep platforms at the top and bottom of the long backbone bridge, the Muse takes his time to hop on every step. By skipping steps or hopping down on him from above, you can catch him or get close enough to make a quick dash after him with the Punch button.

Q. How do I open the Blue Eco Device in Rock Village?
A. Generally, Blue Eco pieces you have already collected and have respawned will be automatically drawn to Jak while he is channeling Blue Eco. What you need to do is grab both pieces of Blue Eco and let them run out. Then, grab the piece behind the Geologist and run toward the second piece. When you see the second piece start moving (it will usually make a spiral course toward Jak.. you'll see it flash sideways in your view when it moves), turn toward the Blue Eco Device; don't wait until you actually get the second piece. Make a run for the Blue Eco Device and use 1 or 2 rolling jumps if necessary; more than 2 will waste time while Jak recovers from each to be of any use.

H.i Lost Precursor City - Power Cells
-------------------------------------
"Raise The Chamber" - In the City Chamber room at the bottom of the first slide, use the Blue Eco to charge all 6 spheres. This will open the door to the Chamber. Hit the switch in the Chamber to raise it to the surface between the entrance and the rock formation. The Power Cell will be on the top of the Chamber
"Follow The Colored Pipes" - In the second large room, there are three glass cylinders connected to colored pipes. Hit the switch for the red pipe then climb the stairway of retracting platforms to the open end of the pipe.
"Reach The Bottom Of The City" - At the bottom of the second slide is the Bottom Of The City. This power cell is over a switch in the Bottom Of The City / Slide Tube room.
"Quickly Cross The Dangerous Pool" - This room is across a hallway from the spinning Lurker room near the Center of The Complex, at the top of the first slide. Hit the switch and cross the timed platform stairway to the power cell.
"Match The Platform Colors" - This room is across a hallway from the spinning Lurker room near the Center Of The Complex. Light up all of the metal platforms. Once a platform is lit, jumping on it again will turn it off.
'Climb The Slide Tube" - The platform where the "Reach The Bottom Of The City" Power Cell was on makes Dark Eco fill the vertical tube in that area. Use the Blue Eco vents to activate the Blue Eco Launchers and run up the spiral platform that lines the tube. Riding the third launcher will get you to a small room with a Power Cell.
"Reach The Center Of The Complex" - This power cell is out in the open in the room next to the second large room
