Mastering Precursor Basin in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Precursor Basin, following Fire Canyon, presents a deceptively challenging Zoomer vehicle level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. While less perilous than its fiery predecessor, its intricate objectives demand skillful navigation. This guide outlines the strategies needed to conquer each challenge and claim every reward.

Herd the Moles

This initial task involves guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Strategic maneuvering and skillful use of the Zoomer's hop function are key to herding them efficiently. Completion rewards a Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.

Catch the Flying Lurkers

Located in the same area, these elusive creatures require pursuit and skillful ramming. Anticipating their movements and cutting off their escape routes will prove effective. The final Lurker drops another Power Cell.

Beat Record Time on the Gorge

This timed race demands precision and speed. The 45-second target is achievable by mastering the Zoomer's controls, utilizing Blue Eco speed boosts strategically placed along the track, and skillfully avoiding Dark Eco Crates. A sub-40-second time earns a trophy. Completing the race rewards a Power Cell from the Gambler.

Get the Power Cell Over the Lake

This objective requires precise driving and timely jumps across several islands. Utilizing the Zoomer's hop function across gaps and navigating narrow bridges is crucial. Successful completion grants a Precursor Orb.

Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants

This relatively straightforward task involves using Green Eco to cleanse the infected plants. Efficient use of the Zoomer's hop and Green Eco replenishment points ensures swift completion, rewarding a Power Cell.
