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

Following Fire Canyon's intense Zoomer section, Precursor Basin offers a comparatively less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, vehicle-based level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. This guide details how to conquer Precursor Basin's demanding objectives and earn every available reward.

Herding Moles

Begin by guiding four blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Strategic use of the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns will help maintain pursuit. Reward: A Power Cell from the Geologist in Rock Village.

Catching Flying Lurkers

In the same area, chase and ram into the fleeing Flying Lurkers. Their unpredictable flight paths require anticipating their turns to effectively intercept them. Reward: A Power Cell from the final Lurker.

Gorge Race

Beat the 45-second record on the Gorge race track near Precursor Basin's entrance. Utilize Lurkers for extra height, and strategically collect Blue Eco speed boosts. Avoid Dark Eco Crates. A sharp 180-degree turn is crucial near the pit. A faster time (under 40 seconds) earns a trophy. Reward: A Power Cell from the Gambler in Rock Village.

Power Cell Over the Lake

Retrieve the Power Cell floating over the lake. This involves precise Zoomer control, utilizing hops to navigate narrow bridges and gaps between islands. The final jump requires top speed.

Dark Eco Plant Cure

Recharge with Green Eco and drive through the purple, Dark Eco-infected plants to cure them before they regrow. Efficient use of the Zoomer's hop and the Green Eco Vent is key. Reward: A Power Cell.

Purple Precursor Rings

Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings before time expires. The most challenging section involves a mid-air ring off a natural bridge, requiring a precise hop. Reward: A Power Cell.

Blue Precursor Rings

This more difficult ring challenge starts near the Power Cell over the Lake. Key maneuvers include a high jump over the lake using rocks for momentum, a tricky hop off a hill, and precise navigation around pillars and through narrow pathways. Reward: A Power Cell.

Scout Flies

Collect all seven Scout Flies scattered throughout Precursor Basin. Their locations are shown below. Reward: A Power Cell.

By completing all these objectives, players will fully master Precursor Basin and reap its considerable rewards.
