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

Following your Fire Canyon adventure, Precursor Basin presents a less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, Zoomer-based level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. This guide outlines strategies for completing all objectives, essential for trophy hunters.

Herd the Moles

This initial task involves guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Strategic bumping and skillful Zoomer maneuvering (utilizing the hop for sharp turns) will efficiently steer the moles home. Reward: A Power Cell from the Rock Village Geologist.

Catch the Flying Lurkers

These elusive creatures require chasing and ramming. Anticipating their turns, particularly at strategic points (as illustrated in the images), allows for efficient interception. The final Lurker yields a Power Cell.

Beat Record Time on the Gorge

Gorge Racecourse

The Gorge race challenges you to a 45-second time trial. Mastering the Zoomer is key. Utilize Lurkers for extra height, strategically collect Blue Eco speed boosts, and carefully navigate the course, avoiding Dark Eco Crates. A precise 180-degree turn after the pit is crucial. A sub-40-second time earns a trophy. Reward: A Power Cell from the Gambler.

Get the Power Cell Over the Lake

This Power Cell demands precision driving and timing. Starting from a specific slope (as shown in Image 1), navigate a narrow bridge and utilize hops to traverse gaps between islands (Images 2-5). A final high-speed jump secures the Power Cell.

Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants

Charge with Green Eco and drive through the purple plants to cure them. Speed and careful maneuvering are essential to prevent regrowth. Reward: A Power Cell.

Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings

Purple Rings

This time trial involves passing through a series of appearing purple rings. The most challenging sections involve timed jumps off bridges and precise maneuvering to avoid obstacles. Completion yields a Power Cell.

Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings

Blue Rings

The blue rings present a significantly harder challenge. Strategic use of rocks for air boosts over the lake and careful navigation of narrow paths are vital. Note the tricky hop off a hill near the Dark Eco Plants (Image 2) and the crossroads section (Image 3). The final ring hangs precariously at the top of a slope. Reward: A Power Cell.

Free the 7 Scout Flies

Scout Fly Location

Collecting all seven Scout Flies grants a Power Cell. Their locations are scattered throughout the level, some requiring careful exploration and strategic Zoomer use to reach. Locations are detailed in the text, referencing previous images.
