Version History
 
13th January 02-Did

Precursor Orbs in the Boggy Swamp area. Now up to the Precursor Basin area,
which I will start updating again tomorrow!
12th January 02-Sorry
about not doing any updating had a whole load of homework due in, like I.T.,
Maths and English. Making up for the 3 day lapse of not doing anything, I have
added all the locations of the Precursor Orbs in the Lost Precursor City and
told you how to get all the Power Cells in the Boggy Swamp area.
9th January 02-Added
how to get the Power Cells in the Lost Precursor City, probably some more
updating will be done tomorrow!
7th January 02-Making
up for the two day lapse of not doing anything, I added all the info on how to
get the Power Cells at the Rock Village area, and got up to the Lost Precursor
City! May do some more updating tomorrow, but probably won’t be able to, as I
have got a lot of homework due in for this week.
5th January 02-Did
quite a lengthy contribution to this document today. Added all the locations of
the Precursor Orbs in the Misty Island area. Also did the Fire Canyon area,
telling you how to get the Power Cells and the Precursor Orbs, so go check the
Walkthrough and look at what I have done. So we are now up to Rock Village! May
do some more updating later on this evening or tomorrow definitely.
4th January 02-Added
all of the info onto the Power Cells on Misty Island, so check the Walkthrough
for it! Also added info down at the bottom of the document and also started the
Secrets/Tips section.
3rd January 02-Robbo
will be going home shortly, so we have done over an hour’s work so far. Just
added all of the locations of the Precursor Orbs into the Forbidden Jungle area
in the Walkthrough expect some more updating either later on tonight or in the
morning!
2nd January 02-Robbo’s
here now with me and we have added all the info on how to get the Power Cells
in the Forbidden Jungle. We will do some more tomorrow!
1st January 02-Happy
New Year everybody! We hope this New Year turns out good for you all. Started
the I’m Sure I’ve Seen That Somewhere Before section, with some of my own
ideas, I’ll get some more of Robbo tomorrow and some of you guys, if you send
them in! Expect a big update on the Walkthrough tomorrow as with all the other
sections as well.
31st December
01-Just started and finished the Mini Games section,
so go check it out if you need any help. Like I mentioned yesterday, Robbo is
sleeping on Wednesday so expect a lot of updating to begin.
30th December
01-Expect a major update to be done on the 2nd
January 02, as Robbo will be sleeping at my house for a few days, so the
document may be finished by the time he goes home. Just finished the Controls
section, and it is quite long so go check it out. About to start on the
Walkthrough again, so I will be off now. Just added over 2 hours worth of
playing time into the Walkthrough, so you should now be able to get up to the
Forbidden Jungle! Also started and finished the Item List section, so go check
it out for all info on the items in the game. This FAQ is a lot easier than our
last one, the Dark Cloud FAQ, which has taken us over 2 months and it still
isn’t finished. Where as this one will probably be finished by the end of the
week. Also added a new section called Mini Games, but haven’t started it yet!
29th December
01-Finished the game well before Christmas but haven’t
really got round to starting an FAQ on it, so now we have. Started the document
with many of the features shown, expect a much bigger update tomorrow and in
the near future.

1.Story
 
This
section is completely made up, and if sounds corny don’t send me stupid e-mails
about it, just try to keep your opinions to yourself, okay!
 
In
this present time, there is a world, a world dominated by elf-like people. The
elf-like people have enjoyed many centuries of peace, but recently that peace
has been threatened. Gol and Maia, two villains, have fallen under the effects
of a destructive substance, known as Dark Eco. If this substance goes into the
wrong hands, then it could spell the end to all life, as we know it!
Well
after many centuries of waiting, a hero has finally been born and the right
time has come to stop this terrible new force, and this young hero is Jak and
is accompanied by his not-so-trusty sidekick, Daxter. Disobeying, the Green
Sage’s words, both Jak and Daxter decide to visit Misty Island, which recently
has been filling up with trouble. Whilst on the island, the two heros discover
about a plot to destroy the villages and take over the world with the Dark Eco.
After a short while, Daxter manages to fall into the Dark Eco and turns into an
Ottsel (half Otter and half Weasel). Now it is up to Jak, to turn his best
friend back into an elf person and to stop Gol And Maia from taking over the
world, with the destructive and mysterious Dark Eco! And this is where your
adventure begins…
