Mastering Precursor Basin in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy's Zoomer Challenges
Precursor Basin, following Fire Canyon, presents a seemingly less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, Zoomer-based level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. This guide details how to conquer its demanding objectives, essential for trophy hunters.
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 for sharp turns are key to keeping them corralled. Reward: A Power Cell.
Catch the Flying Lurkers
These elusive creatures require pursuit and ramming. Anticipating their turns, particularly at strategic points, maximizes efficiency. The final Lurker yields a Power Cell.
Beat the Gorge Record Time (45 Seconds)
This race demands precision and speed. Utilizing Lurkers for aerial boosts and strategically collecting Blue Eco for speed increases are crucial. Avoiding Dark Eco Crates is vital. A precise 180-degree turn at the pit is essential. A faster time (under 40 seconds) earns a trophy. Reward: A Power Cell.
Retrieve the Lake Power Cell
Starting from a previously-visited slope, navigate a series of narrow bridges and gaps using precise hops and timing. A final, high-speed jump secures the Power Cell.
Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants
Using Green Eco, drive through the purple plants to cure them before they regenerate. Efficient maneuvering and timely Green Eco replenishment are crucial. Reward: A Power Cell.
Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings
This time-sensitive challenge requires navigating a series of rings before time expires. The most challenging sections involve precise jumps off elevated areas. Reward: A Power Cell.
Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings
The Blue Ring challenge is significantly harder. Strategic use of rocks for airborne boosts over the lake is vital. Precise turns around pillars and careful navigation of narrow paths are essential. 
Reward: A Power Cell.
Free the Seven Scout Flies
Collecting all seven Scout Flies scattered throughout the level rewards a Power Cell. Locations range from easily accessible areas to those requiring traversal of elevated platforms and bridges. Reward: A Power Cell.
