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, vehicle-based level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. This guide will help you master the Zoomer and conquer Precursor Basin's demanding objectives. Trophy hunters, take note!

Herd the Moles

Begin by herding four moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Use the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns to keep pace with these elusive creatures. Reward: A Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.

Catch the Flying Lurkers

Next, chase and ram the Flying Lurkers. Anticipate their turns to intercept them effectively. The final Lurker drops another Power Cell.

Beat the Gorge Record Time (45 Seconds)

Gorge Race Start

This race near Precursor Basin's entrance requires precision and speed. Utilize Lurkers for extra height, and strategically collect Blue Eco for speed boosts. Avoid Dark Eco Crates. A sharp 180-degree turn is needed near the pit. A faster time (under 40 seconds) earns a trophy. Reward: A Power Cell from the Gambler in Rock Village.

Retrieve the Lake Power Cell

Starting from the slope (image 1, familiar from the Lurker chase), navigate the narrow bridge and use hops to cross gaps between islands (images 2-5). Maintain top speed for the final jump to the Precursor Orb.

Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants

Use Green Eco to cleanse the purple plants. Quick driving prevents regrowth. Use the Zoomer's hop for efficient maneuvering and the Green Eco Vent to replenish your supply. Reward: A Power Cell.

Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings

Purple Ring Challenge

This ring challenge is relatively straightforward. The key is to confidently navigate the aerial ring off the bridge and the final ring near the ground-level hole. Reward: A Power Cell.

Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings

Blue Ring Challenge Start

The blue rings present a significant challenge. Use the rocks near the lake to gain height for the aerial ring. Avoid the Zoomer Trans-pad. Precise hops and turns are essential, especially after crossing the lake and navigating the final stretch.

Tricky Blue Ring Hop

Final Blue Ring

Reward: A Power Cell.

Free the Seven Scout Flies
