Navigating Misty Island in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Misty Island, a pivotal location in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, presents a challenge and reward for players willing to overcome its obstacles. This guide details how to access and complete all of Misty Island's objectives.
Accessing Misty Island
Before venturing to Misty Island, you must assist the fisherman in the Forbidden Jungle by catching 200 pounds of fish. This earns you a Power Cell and access to the Speedboat in Sandover Village, your transport to the island.
The Sculptor's Muse
Your first task is retrieving the Sculptor's Lost Muse, a golden creature resembling Daxter. Located near the docks, the Muse requires a chase. Utilize roll jumps and strategically destroy large bones to create pathways, ultimately intercepting the Muse during its turns. Once captured, return the Muse to the Sculptor in Sandover Village for a Power Cell (save this for later).
Blue Eco and the Precursor Door
After retrieving the Muse, locate a platforming area with blue eco orbs. Collect these orbs and activate the Precursor Platform (as shown in the image below) to cross a gap and obtain a Power Cell.

Confronting Lurkers at the Dark Eco Pool
Next, return to the area where your adventure began. A challenging arena awaits, where Lurkers attack in waves, launching explosives. Utilize the Red Eco dropped by the Lurkers to defeat them efficiently. Once victorious, climb the revealed stairs to the Dark Eco Pool and claim its Power Cell.
The Lurker Ship and Cannon
Proceed to Misty Island's Bay and access the Lurker Ship via a bridge. Climb the ship to obtain another Power Cell. Then, ascend the ramp, dodging rolling and bouncing logs, to reach a cannon. Defeat the Lurkers guarding the cannon to earn another Power Cell and use the cannon to destroy metal boxes in the arena for Precursor Orbs.
Balloon Lurkers and the Zoomer
Use the Zoomer (accessible via a trans-pad near the Lurker Ship) to eliminate five Balloon Lurkers in the bay. Master the Zoomer's controls – brakes, accelerator, and hop – to navigate mines and target the Lurkers effectively. Defeating them rewards you with a Power Cell.
Zoomer Power Cell and Scout Flies
Use the Zoomer to reach a final Power Cell located on a high platform. Finally, locate and collect seven Scout Flies scattered across Misty Island. These are strategically positioned, often requiring platforming skills and puzzle-solving (refer to the images below for locations).

After collecting all Power Cells and Scout Flies, return the Sculptor's Muse to complete your Misty Island adventure.
