1.2 – Introduction
Hi everyone! This is my fifth walkthrough for gamefaqs.com. As I am
human, I’m sure there will be mistakes in this guide. If you happen to
see any, e-mail me and tell me about them. You will be credited in the
Credits section of the guide. Constructive criticism, questions, and
suggestions are also kindly welcomed. Please, no Spam or anything like
that. Please, no Spam or things like that. Again, my e-mail is
emcain94@comcast.net.
If you use this guide to find all the Precursor Orbs, I suggest
starting
from the very beginning and following it through to the end. They are
ordered in the order that they can be obtained, so it might be
confusing
if you are missing a certain one.
I use Microsoft Word on all of my guides and ever since I’ve updated
it, I can’t seem to quite reorder my older guides. I apologize now for
the messed up formatting in this guide. If anyone can tell me how to
fix it, I would be very grateful!

2.2 – Weapons
Unlike the first game, you gain the use of the Morph-Gun. You can earn
different upgrades and different types of guns to use throughout the
game. There are four types of guns that can be used.
Scatter Gun – The Scatter Gun is rather slow, but a single shockwave
can
damage more than one enemy.
Blaster Weapon – This gun has a laser pointer to show you where you
will
fire.
Vulcan Fury – This gun has a laser pointer also, but it has rapid-fire
capabilities, allowing you to hold down R1 to fire multiple shots.
Peace Maker – Although it can only use 5 ammo (upgraded to 10 later),
when the shot hits an enemy, it will spread to nearby enemies, damaging
them as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3 – Zoomers
There are several vehicles you can use throughout the game, but the
main
ones you’ll be using are Zoomers. There are different types available
throughout Haven City. If you want to use one, you can find one not
occupied or you can hijack a flying one by standing underneath it and
pressing Triangle.
Single-Seat Zoomers – These vehicles can only hold one passenger, but
they can go faster than two-seat Zoomers. However, they can take a less
amount of damage before they explode than the two-seat ones.
Two-Seat Zoomers – These vehicles can hold two passengers, but they are
slower than the single-seat Zoomers. They can take more damage than a
Single-Seat Zoomer.
Krimzon Guard Zoomers – There are two types of these: the HellCat
Cruisers and the single-seat Zoomers. They both can shoot so you don’t
have to use your Morph-Gun, but the HellCat Cruisers are big and slow
while the single-seat Zoomers are vulnerable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.4 – Items
These items will help you out throughout the game.
Krimzon Guard Crates – Break these open to find the item inside. These
can contain Health Packs, Dark Eco, and Ammunition.
Health Packs – The gray boxes with green plus signs on them will return
two bars to your health meter.
Dark Eco – When Jak stores up enough Dark Eco, he can transform into
Dark Jak.
Ammunition – The ammunition provides ammo for the different modes of
the
Morph-Gun: Red – Scatter Gun, Yellow – Blaster Weapon, Blue – Vulcan
Fury, Purple – Peace Maker
Metal Head Skull Gems – These can be traded in to the Oracle to learn
Dark Jak’s abilities.
Precursor Orbs – Unlike the first game, the Precursor Orbs are rare. If
you find enough, you can unlock extras in the Secrets menu.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.5 – Dark Jak
This game introduces the ability to turn into Dark Jak. When the Dark
Eco Meter is full, press L2 to transform. Dark Jak can attack faster
and
hit multiple enemies in the process. Also, if you trade in Metal Head
Skull Gems to the Oracle, Jak will learn different abilities he can
perform while Dark Jak:
25 Metal Head Skull Gems: Dark Bomb (X + Square)
200 Metal Head Skull Gems: Dark Blast (Square + X)
200 Metal Head Skull Gems: Dark Jak Invincibility (no buttons required)
100 Metal Head Skull Gems: Dark Giant (Press L2 while Dark Jak)
Note: You can only obtain the ability if you’ve already gotten the one
before it. For example, you can’t get Dark Blast until you have gotten
Dark Bomb.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.0 – The Walkthrough
Well, here it is! The main part of the guide. I hope it helps you out
in
any tight spot you may have. Enjoy!
Just a note on how the walkthrough is set up: There will be numbers in
parentheses scattered throughout the guide. These are meant to direct
you to the Precursor Orb Locations box for that section. You do not
have
to find them to complete the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 – Act 1
This section of the walkthrough covers the missions in Act 1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.A – Escape from Fortress
After the intro scene, you’ll be in control of Jak. (#1) From your
starting point, go right and follow the path until your find a couple
of
stacked crates. Jump through the square archway and make your way
through the darkness. Daxter will tell you how to roll. Jump through
the
next archway to set off an alarm. (#2)
After you cross through, look to the left to find more stacked crates.
Use them to get up to the next ledge. Daxter will tell you how to
Double
Jump. Press X and then X again while in the air to get to the high
platform. Cross through the next archway.
In this room, Daxter will tell you about Krimzon Guard Crates. Break
the
crates with either Circle or Square and collect the Dark Eco and the
Health Pack. Jump across the series of platforms and wait for the
moving
one to get down to you. Ride it up and jump to the next ledge. Hold
down
L1 and jump to the high ledge. Follow the path until you meet the
Krimzon Guard. Press Circle or Square to attack him. You will need to
hit him two times to defeat him. Continue along onto the moving
platform
and to the next area after that. (#3) Break the crates for a Health
Pack
and Dark Eco. Next, you will come across a pole jutting out from the
wall. Jump onto it to start swinging. Jump off of it when Jak is in the
top part of his swing. Head onto the next moving platform. Rotate the
camera to see an opening in the wall. Go in there and fight off the two
Krimzon Guards.
When you approach the large gap, Daxter tells you how to perform the
Rolling Turbo Long Jump. (#4) Use the rolling jump to get across the
next two gaps.
In the next room, you will be shot at from below. Just keep moving to
avoid getting hit. You can also hide behind one of the computers to
avoid the fire. (#5) When you make it to the other side of the room,
you
will find a grate you can dive into to break. Stand on it and press X.
While in the air, press Square to fall down to the next area. (#6)
Follow the path and jump into the next room. There are two Krimzon
Guards in this room. They have their backs to you, so attack them from
behind (It’s also fun to listen to what they have to say! :P). Crash
down through the grate and slide down the slide to find yourself in a
room with some water in it. Make your way over to the dry land. (#7)
(#8) Use the stacked boxes to climb up to the ledge on the right wall.
Use another box to hop up onto the last ledge and jump out of the
fortress.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|3.1.A.a – Fortress Precursor Orb Locations                           |
|                                                                     |
|#1 – Start facing away from the chair where Jak was injected with    |
|     Dark Eco. Walk to the right a bit and turn the camera to see an |
|     Orb sitting on top of a ledge. Use the stacked crates to get on |
|     the upper ledge to reach it.                                    |
|#2 – After you learn how to roll and go through the archway that sets|
|     off the alarm, turn the camera to the right to see the Orb up on|
|     a set of shelves. Double Jump or crouch and jump to reach it.   |
|#3 – In the room where you find the first Krimzon Guard Crates and   |
|     Krimzon Guards. After you fight the second guard, you can find  |
|     on top of the blinking computer right next to your location.    |
|#4 – When Daxter tells you how to perform the Rolling Turbo Long     |
|     Jump, fall down the first gap to find the Orb.                  |
|#5 – In the room where Krimzon Guards shoot at you from below, find  |
|     the computer with enough room for you to jump behind. If you can|
|     find it, you will find the Orb.                                 |
|#6 – After you smash through the first crate, search behind the      |
|     columns in the room below to find the Orb.                      |
|#7 – In the room with the water in it, find the two Krimzon Guard    |
|     Crates on the dry ground. Drop into the water right behind them |
|     to find the Orb.                                                |
|#8 – In the room with the water in it, make your way through the     |
|     water and to the other side of the room. You should see an      |
|     alcove high up in the wall. Use the stacked crates to get inside|
|     and grab the last Orb in this area. You probably will have to   |
|     Double Jump and then spin while in the air to land in the       |
|     alcove.                                                         |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.B – Protect Kor and Kid
You will find yourself in Haven City. Follow the path until you meet
Kor
and the Kid. After the scene, Jak has to fight off some Krimzon Guards.
When you defeat the first three, Jak will transform into Dark Jak. Keep
attacking so as to not let the Krimzon Guards get a chance to attack.
Afterwards, take Kor’s advice and follow the icon on the city map to
find Torn. The icon is a picture of a sword. You can hijack a Zoomer to
make the trip faster. I personally prefer the lower Hover Zone because
you can avoid traffic. However, if you hit a Krimzon Guard, all of the
guards will come after you. They will try to attack you and turrets
will
appear in different sections of the city. They shoot at you, so keep
moving to avoid any attacks. If you don’t want to hit a guard, quickly
press R2, fly over the guard, and then press R2 again to switch back to
the lower Hover Zone. Find Torn and Tess and watch the scene.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.C – Retrieve Banner from Dead Town
Follow the icon on the map to make your way to Dead Town. Head inside
the chamber and enter Dead Town.
You cannot get any Precursor Orbs yet, so don’t worry about them right
now.
First, walk across the path and take out the green enemy here. Jump
across the brown water and fight the next two enemies. Do no touch the
water, as it will damage Jak. Quickly jump across the two wooden
platforms in the water. The new enemy here requires two hits to take
down, and, after the first hit, it will shoot its tongue at you, so
watch out. Cross the stone bridge and fight the two enemies here. Climb
up the stone ledges to reach the next path.
Follow the stone ledge and jump up the higher one to continue. Follow
it
to the lower ledge and fight the enemies here as well. Break the two
Krimzon Guard Crates and continue along the path, taking out the next
enemy. Go right and then left to find more of the critters walking
around. Take them out and jump up the set of stone ledges.
Quickly cross the bridge to avoid falling down into the muck below. The
next series of ledges are a mix between stable ones and crumbling ones,
so keep moving to avoid falling. You will also have to swing on the
poles here to reach the next platform, so just keep climbing until you
reach the top. Hop up the steps and walk to the banner for a scene.
From your location, hop up the ledges to reach a stone path. Walk off
the path and onto the ground below. Make your way all the way back to
the beginning of Dead Town and enter and exit the chamber to find
yourself back in Haven City. Follow the icon on the map to reach the
Underground hideout. It is hidden behind the section of the wall with
the green circle on it. Go inside and watch the scene to receive your
next mission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.D – Find Pumping Station Valve
Leave the hideout and follow the icon on the map to the Pumping
Station.
Enter the chamber and exit to find yourself in the Pumping Station. In
the first area, you will encounter your first Metal Heads. Defeat them
and collect the Metal Head Skull Gems. (#9)(#10) Ride up the rising and
falling platforms to the high ledge and defeat the two enemies.
Jump over to the sandy ledge and then onto the big, hollow pipe. (#11)
(#12)(#13)  Jump to the next ledge to find three enemies and two
Krimzon
Guard Crates. There is a rotating pipe ahead and you don’t want to fall
to the ground below. Wait until the pipe has finished rotating to jump
onto it. If you are on it when it is going to rotate, jump straight up
(listen for the little shaking sound to know when to jump). Defeat the
Metal Head and head across the bridge, jumping over the moving electric
fence. Fight off the enemies and ride the moving platforms up so you
can
jump across to the next ledge.
Jump to the next sandy ledge to find two enemies and a Metal Head.
Defeat them all and go across the bridge with two electric fences.
Double Jump to make it over them. Defeat the enemies and continue along
to face more enemies. Jump up the metal ledges and quickly cross the
next rotating pipe. Jump to the grassy/sandy ledge and then on to the
next ledge. You will come across a slanted bridge. Climb up it, follow
the path while defeating the two Metal Heads, and watch the scene when
you find the valve. Walk back across the beach and leave the Pumping
Station to go back to Haven City. (#14) (#15)
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|3.1.D.a – Pumping Station Precursor Orb Locations                    |
|                                                                     |
|The numbers are continued from the previous set of Precursor Orbs.   |
|                                                                     |
|#9 – In the area where you first encounter Metal Heads, look for the |
|     large pipe dripping water. Squeeze into the area to the left of |
|     it to find the Orb.                                             |
|#10 – In the area where you first encounter Metal Heads, go all the  |
|      way to the left on the sandy ground to find in the Orb in the  |
|      water.                                                         |
|#11 – After you ride the first rising platform and jump onto the     |
|      sandy ledge, jump down into the hollow pipe to find the Orb.   |
|#12 – Below the pipe mentioned above, follow the sandy beach to the  |
|      right of the cliff. Stay to the right of the cliff and keep    |
|      along the edge to find the Orb.                                |
|#13 – From the location of the Orb above, swim to the closest island |
|      with the windmill. Climb the rocks to find the Orb.            |
|#14 – After you find the valve, follow the same path you did to reach|
|      it until your reach the slanted bridge. Continue until you come|
|      face-to-face with the two Metal Heads right after it. Fall to  |
|      metal platforms to the right of the sandy ledges. Fight off the|
|      two Metal Heads and jump down to the left of the metal         |
|      platforms into the closed-in pool with some rocks. The Orb is  |
|      there.                                                         |
|#15 – From the location of the last Orb, jump out of the pool and    |
|      onto the beach with all the Metal Heads and other enemies.     |
|      Fight them all off and run across the rest of the beach area to|
|      find a metal ramp. Walk up it and follow the path to the next  |
|      two Metal Heads. After you defeat them, jump down into the     |
|      water to the left of the bridge you’re on (facing the exit to  |
|      Haven City) to find the last Precursor Orb in the Pumping      |
|      Station.                                                       |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you finish this mission, the first Underground Mission in Haven
City becomes available. See the Other Precursor Orb Locations section
for details. (#16, #17, #18)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.E – Go to the Oracle
For this mission, simply follow the icon on the map to the building
with
the Oracle inside. Approach it and watch the scene. Afterwards, leave
the building and follow the map back to Torn. Watch the scene upon your
arrival to receive your next mission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.F – Blow up Ammo at Fortress
Follow the red icon on the map and enter the Fortress. Break the
Krimzon
Guard Crates next to the tank and walk between the two blue poles. This
will activate the tank. You can’t stand still, so keep moving to stay
out of the red crosshairs. Also, stay away from the tank to avoid
damage. In the first area, you must quickly cross the platforms to
avoid
the shots fired by the tank. When the tank breaks through the glass, it
becomes a bit hard to see. Keep moving forward, avoiding any gaps as
well as the red lasers projected by the weapons. If you step into one,
they will shoot at you.
Once you reach the end of the room, head left and jump on top of the
boxes. Use the pole to swing into the next room. The tank will break
through and continue to try to shoot you. Jump onto the rotating
platform and then into the middle to break the glass. Do this with the
next glass to turn off the electric fence. Go into the next room the
fence was blocking.
Grab the Krimzon Guard Crate items and make your way through the room,
jumping across the floating platforms and taking out any Krimzon Guard
that gets in your way. Towards the end of the room, you will encounter
some spikes. Time your jumps according to the spikes to make it safely
across and take out the rest of the guards. Break through the grate (X
+
square).
Ride across the conveyer belt, jump across the moving platforms, climb
the crates, and ride across the last conveyer belt to find another
room.
Enter and watch the scene. You’ll receive the Red Security Pass and
learn a bit about the Baron’s scheme. For this part of the mission, you
have to stand beside the round things jutting out from the cylinder in
the center of the room. This will bring the tank’s crosshairs onto them
so that they will get destroyed. There are four of these on the
cylinder. After all four are blown up, run over to the exit of the
fortress before your ten seconds are up. Just as you exit, the place
blows up. Good job! Follow the map back to the hideout and approach
Torn
to receive your next mission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.G – Make delivery to Hip Hog Saloon
Exit the hideout and hop on the Zoomer in the beam of light. The bar at
the top represents your progress to the Hip Hog Saloon, not the damage
your Zoomer has taken (like I thought at first...). Follow the wine
glass icon on the map. No matter which Hover Zone you fly in, the
guards
will eventually become suspicious and start to chase you. Keep moving!
Continue to follow the rather confusing pathways. On your way, you will
encounter two Krimzon Guard roadblocks. Stay in the lower Hover Zone
and
keep moving to avoid taking too much let alone any damage. Continue
into
the Port. I suggest driving over the water to avoid a lot of Krimzon
Guard vehicles and guards while you make your way to the saloon. If you
are flying above the water, you have to switch to the upper Hover Zone
to reach the Saloon. When you are near the entrance, Jak will
automatically jump off, so watch the scene inside to meet Krew and Sig
and get the Scatter Gun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.H – Beat Scatter Gun Course
You know the drill. Head on over to the icon and enter. Walk towards
the
crates to get a short tutorial on how to use the Scatter Gun. When
prompted, press R1 to fire the Scatter Gun. Put the gun away by
pressing
the up arrow on the D-pad. Take it back out with the same button or by
shooting again with R1. Collect the ammo to get the capacity of the gun
back up to 50. Then, approach the door and press X to start the Scatter
Gun Course.
When you enter, you will hear Sig tell you about the different targets.
There are two score-giving targets: the blue robots and the gold
robots.
Shoot the gold ones for extra points. Also, the large, blue robots that
look like they have horns coming from their heads take two hits to
kill.
DO NOT SHOOT THE CIVILIANS, as points will be deducted from your score.
You could even physically attack the targets by punching them or
spinning them. You still get points! Be sure to complete the course
with
a grand score of at least 3000 points. If you score 8000 points or
more,
you can get 3 Precursor Orbs. However, in the unlikely event that you
score more than 10,000 points, you can get another 3 and likewise if
you
score more than 12,000. (#19-#27) (See the Other Precursor Orb
Locations
section for more details.) Note that the faster you hit a target, the
more points you’ll be awarded and if you hit certain targets, the gold
ones will appear.
Completing this mission will activate another kiosk in town, allowing
you to earn more Precursor Orbs. (#28, #29, #30) See the Other
Precursor
Orb Locations section for more details on this challenge.
After you have finished the course and anything else you may have
wanted
to do, follow the icon back to the saloon and watch the scene for your
next mission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.I – Protect Sig at Pumping Station
Grab a Zoomer and drive all the way back to the Pumping Station. Enter
to find Sig already waiting for you. Take out the first group of
enemies
on the beach area. Follow Sig up the rising platforms and finish off
the
next two. He will charge the Peacemaker. When he’s done, he will blast
a
way through the large metal... thing blocking the way.
For the next two Metal Heads, Sig will stay behind. Watch out for their
red electricity beams. Either shoot them or just physically attack
them.
Go ahead of Sig and lower the bridge by just jumping on it. Fight off
any of the enemies that Sig didn’t take out yet. Once you cross the
bridge, you will find the first Metal Head for Sig to kill. He will
charge up the Peacemaker. Your job is to keep the enemies back until he
is finished. If you shoot the enemies just as they start to jump, they
should fall back, making you only use one shot.
Continue across the next beach area, fighting off any enemies. Do not
let them attack Sig too much, or else his health will run out and you
will have to start the mission all over again. At the end of this area,
you will have to protect Sig once again as he charges up the Peacemaker
for another Metal Head. Keep the enemies back and follow Sig when he’s
done.
Sig will stay behind to fight off some enemies. Go forward along the
path and lower the next bridge. Help him out if it is needed, and press
forward. A short walk will bring you to Sig’s next target. Protect him
again so he can shoot this one down. Follow him across the platforms
and
to the next beach area. Fight off the enemies here and continue forward
to reach the fourth target.
Follow Sig again to find some more Metal Heads. Halfway through this
wave, the Peacemaker will jam, leaving you to defend yourself and Sig.
After this little battle, Sig will lead the way to the final target.
Protect him once more to finish the mission.
If you did not grab all of the Orbs during the first visit, see section
3.1.A.a for their locations. Also, after you complete this mission, the
next Underground Challenge becomes available. See the Other Precursor
Orb Locations section for more details. (#31, #32, #33)
Once you are ready, leave the Pumping Station. If you have 25 Metal
Head
Skull Gems or more, go to the Oracle. If not, (you must’ve missed some
or not collected them) go back to Krew.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.J – Go to the Oracle
After completing the Protect Sig at Pumping Station mission, you should
have at least 25 Metal Head Skull Gems. Follow the Haven City Map to
the
Oracle. Once inside, a scene will play. Afterwards, use X + Square to
activate Dark Bomb. When you are finished, head to the Hip Hog Saloon.
Go inside to receive your mission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.K – Destroy Turrets in Sewers
Head through the Industrial District and enter the Sewers. Ride the
elevator down. You can’t grab the Orb in the Sewers just yet, so take
out the three enemies in the first area. Step on the light on the floor
to turn on the lights for the next room. Walk across the side of the
room to find out you’re being shot at. To take out the turret, keep
jumping while moving in a zigzag pattern. When you are close enough,
shoot the turret to destroy it.
In the next room, do not fall in the water, as a critter inside will
attack you. Jump across the platforms to the wall with the metal
fences.
When you reach the second one, a Metal Head will come from nowhere.
Immediately spin attack it and collect the skull gem. Hop across the
next three platforms and take out the four enemies waiting for you.
Step
on the red light and fight the three Metal Heads. Even more enemies
await you, so keep moving forward and fight them. Go up the ramp to
find
the second turret is already shooting at you. So don’t fall off the
path
leading to it, double jump just as it is about to shoot at you. You can
tell by the mechanical noise it makes just before it fires.
After destroying the second turret, go back across the path and then
into the dark room. The metal flooring will fall. Before you go any
further, turn around and break open the Krimzon Guard Crates. Continue
forward and turn on the light to find a bunch of Metal Heads waiting to
attack. You can shoot them down, fight them physically, or, if you have
it and the eco to use it, the Dark Bomb technique as Dark Jak. Use the
mossy ledges in the corner of the room to climb to the next area.
Follow
the path to find another turret. Use the same method with this turret
as
the second one. Jump to the platforms just as it is about to fire.
Shoot
it when you are close enough. One more left!
Continue along the path and turn on the light. Already, you can hear
the
final turret. However, when you reach the three Metal Heads, the lights
turn off. Use the glow of the Skull Gems to judge where the Metal Heads
are and defeat them. When you find the turret, jump across the
platforms
just before the turret fires. Get close enough to shoot it. Hop up into
the next room and fight off the enemies. Before you leave, two Metal
Heads will drop from the ceiling. Defeat them and drop down into the
water below. Take the path with the circle on the floor to find the
exit. Ride the elevator back up and enter Haven City. Head on back to
see Krew to get your next mission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.L – Find the Blaster Mod
This mission is simple. Just follow the icon to the Gun Course. Break
open the crate in the beam of light to get the Blaster Weapon. Press
the
up arrow on the D-pad to switch to the Scatter Gun. Switch back to the
Blaster. Spin the first target and immediately shoot to hit the second
one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.M – Beat Blaster Course
This mission involves another gun course. Press X by the door closest
to
the Krimzon Guard Crates to start the game. The course has the same
targets as the Scatter Gun Course, but this time around, you have a
laser pointer to aim at the robots. Shoot all the targets as fast as
you
can to get a higher score. The targets at the end will move quickly, so
be ready to shoot the gun as soon as they appear.
As with the Scatter Gun Course, this mission will award Precursor Orbs
if you can beat the top three scores. 3rd place is 9000 points, 2nd is
11000, and 1st is 13000. The score for each place is 3 Precursor Orbs
(#34-#42).
Completing this mission will unlock the next Underground Challenge. See
the Other Precursor Orb Locations section for more details. Also,
another Underground Challenge becomes available. Look in the same
section for details. (#43, #44, #45) Whenever you’re ready, you can
either talk to Krew or Torn. This guide will have Krew’s mission come
first, so head over to the Hip Hog Saloon and watch the scene to get
your next mission and the Green Security Pass.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.N – Beat Time to Race Garage
Step outside and hop on the Zoomer parked on the street. Follow the
icon
to the Race Garage. For the Port section of the city, I suggest flying
in the lower Hover Zone just above the water until you have to switch
to
get back on the road. Just watch out for any of the stationary boats
floating in the water.
Once you are back on the road, stay in the lower Hover Zone to avoid
any
Zoomers that might get in your way. Just keep in the Hover Zone for the
rest of the trip unless you have to avoid an obstacle that will destroy
your Zoomer. If you hit a Krimzon Guard, just ignore the alarms and
keep
going. When you reach the garage, drive into the beam of light and
watch
the scene.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.O – Win JET-Board Stadium Challenge
Even though this mission isn’t next on the Missions list in the menu,
it’s right there so you might as well complete it. Follow the icon and
go inside. Head down the ramp and grab the Jetboard. Press R2 to get on
it and listen to whatever the mechanic has to say. She’ll give you a
quick tutorial on the different things you can pull off with the
Jetboard.
Ride down the ramp and into the judge in the beam of light to start the
game. I suggest jumping in the air and pulling off a bunch of moves by
switching between the two buttons used for tricks (R1 and L1). Keep
pulling off tricks to get at least 15,000 points.
As it is with the gun courses, if you beat the three scores, you can
win
a total of 9 Orbs. (#46-54) First place is 50,000 points, second place
is 90,000, and first is 120,000. See the Other Precursor Orb Locations
section for details on this game.
After you’ve finished this mission, the next Underground Challenge
becomes available. See the Other Precursor Orb Locations section for
more details. (#55, #56, #57)
Whenever you’re finished, return to the garage. Put back the Jetboard
and go back to see the mechanic. She will tell you a way that might get
you into the Baron’s Palace. Before we do that though, go to the saloon
and the best scene of the game (in my opinion) will play.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.P – Collect Money for Krew
Head on outside to find a Zoomer waiting for you. Hop on and
immediately
drive towards the first green dot. Almost immediately, the Krimzon
Guard
alert will start. Ignore them and keep moving. You can’t stop for more
than a few seconds or else you’ll come under fire. Just keep an eye on
the green dots on the map and collect each moneybag when it appears.
The
course will actually take you back to the saloon, so go inside and talk
to Krew. The Scatter Gun gets a rate of fire increase and Krew will not
give you a mission, so it’s time to see Torn. Follow the icon on the
map
to the Underground hideout. Enter and watch the scene.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.Q – Rescue Vin at Strip Mine
Follow the icon into the Industrial Section of Haven City. It is
located
on the upper path, so you’ll have to use a ramp to get there. Once
inside, use the Warp Gate. Walk forward to be greeted by some Metal
Heads. Defeat them and continue to find a flying one. Shoot it with the
Blaster and collect the Skull Gem. Fight off any more Metal Heads that
may come to stop you. Ride the conveyer belt to the fork. Take the
right
path and follow it, killing any Metal Head in your path.
Ride the conveyer belt ramp to the rocky ledge and take out the Metal
Head. (#58) Continue up the next one and fight the Metal Heads here.
Hop
onto one of the moving platforms. (#59) Ride them to other side,
shooting down any Metal Heads that come to bother you. Jump off and
head
towards the closed door to meet Vin. Watch the scene and you will be
back in Haven City. If you want to get the remaining Orbs, jump back
inside the Warp Gate before approaching Vin. (#60) Head back to Haven
City and walk over to Vin to watch a scene.

|#58 – After you ride the first conveyer belt ramp to the rocky ledge,|
|      you should see the Orb next to a post.                         |
|#59 – While riding the moving platforms, jump down in between the two|
|      posts supporting them. Go to the one closer to the entrance to |
|      the level. The Orb is behind it.                               |
|#60 – Go all the way back to the room where you found Vin. The boxes |
|      that were originally here are now gone, so you can head        |
|      forward towards the glowing blue fire. Take the first right you|
|      can and search the edge of the platform for the Orb.           |
|As of right now, that’s all the Orbs that you can get. See the Strip |
|Mine Precursor Orb Locations (Part 2) section on the info for the    |
|remaining 4 Orbs.                                                    |

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.R – Destroy Eggs at Drill Platform
Head through the Warp Gate again to find yourself in a different area.
Before you head down to the lowered platform, pull out your Scatter
Gun.
Hop down and shoot all the Metal Heads. Go to the lower platform and
shoot the ones here as well. In the metal area, stand on the square in
the middle to ride to the top. Use the turret. Hold down R1 to
continuously fire. Watch out for the flying Metal Heads (indicated by
the arrows around the circle. Destroy the Metal Head Eggs (the groups
of
yellow circles with a black outlining scattered around the area). There
are 58 in total to destroy with this particular turret. When you are
finished, press Triangle to exit. Ride the elevator down to the bottom
level. (#61)
Climb up the ledges. (#62) Turn right and use the escalator ramp. Here,
you will find a new kind of Metal Head. Wait until it lowers its
shield.
Jump over the projectiles it shoots at you and shoot it with your
Blaster. Switch to the Scatter Gun and stand by the entry to the next
area. Shoot the Metal Heads that come close. When no more are near,
enter the area and shoot any remaining Metal Heads. To the left of the
entrance is a pile of eco barrels. (#63) Climb up onto them and then
jump over to the metal platform. Wait until the fire is out to cross.
Follow the path and jump to the next set of metal platforms. There is
another fire here, so be careful. Spin the red lever to bring up a
platform. Quickly use it to get to the next path. Be grateful the
escalator is going the wrong way as spinning Metal Heads come from
nowhere to attack. Shoot them and go down the ramp. Before you hit the
next lever, kill all the Metal Heads with your Blaster. Jump over and
cross the metal bridge. Be careful of the flying Metal Head as it will
shoot at you. Kill the Metal Heads up ahead and ride the next elevator
to the top. Immediately, shoot the Metal Heads waiting for you. Use the
turret to take out 43 Metal Head Eggs.
Ride the elevator to the lowest level with your Scatter Gun at the
ready. Blast the Metal Heads. Instantly shoot once you reach the bottom
as they will be crowded around the lift. Head forward to the eco
barrels. (#64) Jump on them and get ready to dodge some projectiles
from
the shielded Metal Head. Defeat it and exit the small room. Use the
platforms and pipes to get across. Pull out your Scatter Gun and move
forward to find more spinning Metal Heads. Shoot them and continue to
the final lift. Ride it up and use the turret to destroy 49 Metal Head
Eggs.
Use the elevator and go down to the bottom level. (#65) Shoot the
spinny
guys and climb up the makeshift bridge to the Warp Gate. Use it to get
to the Power Station. Torn gives you your next mission, so head to the
Underground hideout.

|#61 – After destroying the first grouping of Metal Head Eggs, ride   |
|      the elevator down to the bottom level. Turn the camera and the |
|      Orb is right there.                                            |

|      pipe to find the Orb.                                          |
|#64 – This one is behind the set of eco barrels after the second     |
|      elevator.                                                      |
|#65 – The Orb is right next to the third left on the bottom level.   |

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.S – Find Pumping Station Patrol
Grab a Zoomer and head to the Pumping Station. Fight the new type of
Metal Head and use the rising platforms to get to the metal platform.
Go
right (as if you were going to the valve). Follow the path up until the
point where you reach the slanted metal bridge. Use the three moving
platforms to jump up to the ledge above. Keep along the path until the
scene occurs. Pull out either your Blaster or Scatter Gun and fight off
all the Metal Heads. Don’t worry about using up all your ammo as you
can
always get more. Ashelin can handle herself, so just worry about
keeping
yourself from taking too much damage.
After the scene, go back to the entrance of the level and into Haven
City. Whenever you’re ready, head for the lightning bolt icon on the
map. It is covered by the brown tent icon, so follow that until you
reach the Industrial section of the city. Go inside the room and watch
the scene.
After you’ve finished this mission, the next Underground mission
becomes
available. See the Other Precursor Orb Locations section for more info.
(#66, #67, #68)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.T – Turn on 5 Power Switches
Hop on a Zoomer and follow one of the green dots on the map. When you
approach one, a turret will shoot up from the ground. Spin, punch, or
shoot it to destroy it. After it is gone, step on the red button to
activate the power switch Do the same thing with the four remaining. If
you approach one on foot, jump just before the turret fires to avoid
damage. Now that that’s taken care of, before you ride up to the
palace,
follow the brown tent icon to Onin’s tent. The eastern bazaar section
does not allow you to ride a Zoomer, so once you reach it, make the
rest
of the trip on foot to see Onin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.U – Find Shard in Mountain Temple
Leave the bazaar area, grab a Zoomer, and follow the gray mountain icon
on the map to reach your destination. Use the Warp Gate and go
straight.
Turn right and shoot the platform with your Blaster. Quickly use it to
get across to the other side. Ride the elevator down. Fight off the
Metal Heads and enter the large structure. Take the path to the right
(the one with the two large pipes). Fight some more Metal Heads and
continue forward. When you reach the area with a bunch of ledges, a
swarm of Metal Heads will come and attack you. Fight them off while
heading for the top of the ledges. After that, you will come across a
Metal Head with a shield. Jump over its projectiles and shoot it with
the Blaster until it is dead. (#69)
Climb up to the top ledge behind the defeated Metal Head. (#70) Hop
across the Popsicle stick-like platform and go to the lowest grassy
ledge. Here is the formation in which you should hit the series of
boxes
floating above the dark eco pool: (Spin the boxes to get them to open
up)
(Special thanks to Janna for pointing out that I hadn’t said to
actually spin the boxes!)
