Jak & Daxter: Precursor Basin Power Cell Locations

After conquering Fire Canyon's intense Zoomer level, *Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy* offers a breather—the seemingly less perilous Precursor Basin. However, despite the reduced danger, this level presents arguably tougher challenges than its fiery predecessor. From record-breaking races to ring-collecting and eco-based gardening, mastering the Zoomer is crucial for those seeking to complete Precursor Basin and claim every Trophy.

Herd the Moles into their Holes

A straightforward start: guide the blind moles back to their burrows using the Zoomer. Simply nudge them with the vehicle, using the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns to keep them moving towards their homes. Once four moles are safely nestled, return to the Geologist in Rock Village for a Power Cell. But don't rush off just yet—let's complete the other tasks in this area first.

Catch the Flying Lurkers

These elusive creatures share the moles' habitat. Chase and ram them with the Zoomer—their flight paths are winding, so anticipate their turns to intercept them effectively. The final Lurker yields a Power Cell.

Beat Record Time on the Gorge

The Gambler needs your help to beat the 45-second Gorge race record. This short but tricky course is near Precursor Basin's entrance (hug the right wall to find it). Utilize Lurkers for extra jumps, and strategically collect Blue Eco for speed boosts. Avoid Dark Eco Crates, and master the hop-turn for sharp corners, especially the 180-degree turn at the pit. A sub-40 second time earns you a trophy! Beating the record nets you a Power Cell from the Gambler.

Get the Power Cell Over the Lake

This Power Cell requires precise timing and driving. Start from the slope (familiar from the Lurker chase), navigate the narrow bridge and gaps using the Zoomer's hop, strategically using ramps to reach the final islands and claim your prize.

Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants

A relaxing change of pace: charge with Green Eco and drive through the purple plants to cure them. Work quickly to prevent regrowth, utilizing the hop for maneuverability and the Green Eco Vent for refills. Completion rewards you with a Power Cell.

Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings

This ring challenge involves swiftly passing through a series of rings before time runs out. The most challenging sections involve airborne rings; trust your instincts and use the Zoomer's hop to navigate these tricky spots.

Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings

The blue rings present a more demanding challenge. Master the use of rocks for airborne jumps, carefully navigate the winding paths, and time your turns precisely to successfully complete the course.

Free the 7 Scout Flies

Collecting all seven Scout Flies awards a Power Cell. These are scattered throughout the level; utilize the map and descriptions above to locate them all.
