About Me:
~~~~~~~~~
Hello, everyone. My name is David DeGregorio and I am a sophomore
in college. I have recently decided to start writing FAQ's for my
favorite games. This is my ninth FAQ to date. If you would like to
read any of my previous FAQs, just click on my username on the previous
page and you will see all of my FAQs to date. I've been on break for
quite a while (almost a year) but I'm back and I will continue to write
strategy guides in the future.
Jak 2 was a revolutionary game for Naughty Dog. It was one of the first
platformers to get rid of the item collection element and focus more on
the game's story. It was also one of the first platformers to add
first-person shooting and sandbox gameplay. Jak 2 used the groundwork
laid by the first game and greatly expanded on it. It is one of my
favorite games on PS2, so it was only natural that I make this guide.
I have done my best to make sure there are no errors in the FAQ. If you
find any, let me know and I will update as soon as I possibly can (and
I'm not busy usually so it won't take long). Also, if you have any
questions, comments, concerns, etc. just email me and I will email back.
I check my email every day. Thank you. Now let's get this FAQ underway.
~~~~~~~~~
Spoilers:
~~~~~~~~~
As usual, I will refrain from using spoilers in this guide. I don't
believe in spoilers. They ruin the story for you, the gamer, and take
away from the experience. So, yeah, no spoilers will be included in any
of my guides. If you see something that looks like a spoiler, please let
me know and I will edit that part or take it out completely. Thank you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Getting Started:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First of all, you will need a copy of Jak 2. Buy it, rent it,
or borrow it from a friend if you have to, however you will need the
game to use this guide. You are in control of Jak. He's gotten
considerably more badass since last game.

Walkthrough:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Escape From Fortress:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the awesome opening scenes, you are finally in control of Jak. He
has gone through a lot since his last adventure. He is a lot less
innocent than he was last game.
When you gain control of Jak, walk to the left and you will find a pile
of boxes. Climb to the top and jump to ledge to your left. Walk to the
end and you will find a Precursor Orb.
Precursor Orbs are used to unlock various perks in the game. If you
press Start and go to the Secrets tab, you can see all of the things
you can unlock.
Return to the pile of boxes and jump into the hole in the wall. Follow
the tunnel to the end and drop down to the floor. Walk over to the
boxes on the left and climb to the top. Double jump up to the next
ledge and turn left. Walk through the hole in the wall.
Walk forward and break the Krimson Guard crates. Turn left and jump
from platform to platform until you reach the one that is moving up
and down. Ride it to the top and jump to the ledge on your left.
Turn right and do a crouch jump to reach the top of the ledge. Walk
forward and turn right. Walk forward and take out the Krimson Guard.
Jump up to the next ledge and walk forward. Jump onto the moving
platform and then jump to the next walkway. Take out the Krimson Guard.
Walk forward, turn left, and walk to the end of the path. Jump to the
pole. Press x near the top of your swing to jump to the next path.
Turn right and walk to the end of the path. Jump onto the moving
platform and turn around. Jump to the next pathway. Take out two more
Krimson Guards and continue onward. When you reach the first pit, jump
into it to find Precursor Orb number four. Jump back out of the pit and
roll jump across it.
Continue down the path and roll jump across the next pit. In the next
room, Krimson Guards will constantly shoot at you from the room below.
If you keep double jumping, they won't be able to hit you.
Use your dive attack to break through the grate. Walk to the end of the
path and turn left. Jump across the pit and enter the next room. Walk
forward and take out two more Krimson Guards. Break through the next
grate and slide down the vent to the room below.
Wade over to the next platform and climb the pile of boxes against the
wall on the right. Climb to the top and jump up to the next ledge. Jump
down to the ground and you are out of the prison.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Protect Kor And Kid:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walk down the street and eventually a scene will take over. Your mission
is to protect these two people from the Krimson Guards. This is a pretty
easy affair. After you kill a couple Guards, you will transform into
Dark Jak and you will be able to kill dozens of Krimson Guards with
relative ease. When they are all dead, another scene will take over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retrieve Banner From Dead Town:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Press triangle to steal a hoverbike and make your way to the
sword-shaped symbol on your map. When you get there, another scene will
take over. Your next mission is to prove your worth to Torn by stealing
the Baron's banner from dead town. Jump into another hoverbike and
follow the symbol on the map to a gate leading outside the city.
Dead Town is a pretty apt name for this place. Everything is in ruins
and the water is a murky brown color. If the water touches you it will
deal damage, so avoid it at all costs.
Walk to the end of the path and kill the lizard creature. Jump to the
next sandbar and kill two more. Turn and jump across the platforms to
the next sandbar. Kill the bigger lizard creature and turn right.
Walk across the bridge and kill two more large lizards. Walk forward
and climb the series of ledges to the top. Turn left and walk to the
end of the path. Jump onto the ledge above and turn left. Walk to the
end of the pathway and jump down to ledge below. Kill some more small
lizards and follow the ledge as it curves around to the left.
Take another left and walk forward. Turn right and walk across the
bridge until you reach a four way intersection. Turn right and walk
to the end of the path. Turn left and cross one more bridge. Take out
all of the small lizards.
Climb the pile of rubble in the corner. At the top, you will see
another bridge. This bridge is made of a weaker material and will
fall as soon as you try to cross. Run, jump, or roll across before
the bridge collapses.
Turn right and climb the series of platform. Jump across the gap to
some more platforms. Be careful because the first and third platform
will collapse. Jump the next gap and climb the next series of
platforms. Jump to the pole and swing to the next ledge. Walk to the
end of the path.
The last series of platforms will all collapse underneath you, so you
have to be fast. Jump from platform to platform to pole and swing to
the next platform. Jump the next few gaps and you will reach solid
ground.
Follow the path to the glowing banner and watch the scene. When you
regain control of Jak, you will find yourself on a sandbar. Find the
group of platforms that look like steps and climb to the top. Turn
left and walk to the end of the path. Turn right and walk forward.
Turn right and and drop down to the sandbar. Cross the bridge and turn
left. Jump across the platforms to the next sandbar and turn left. Jump
to the next sandbar and walk back to the city. Return to Torn for your
next mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn The Water Back On To The Slums:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow the symbol on your map to the pump station. Walk forward and
you will meet your first Metal Head. Metal Heads are nasty creatures
coming in various forms and sizes. They are part machine and part beast
and must be destroyed. These first few are easy but they will get much
harder later in the game.
Take out these Metal Heads and they will drop yellow gemstones. These
are Metal Head Skull Gems and can be used to power up your Dark Jak
Form. Gather them whenever you kill a Metal Head.
Jump onto one of the rising pistons and ride it to the top. Jump to
the platform and take out the two small lizards. Turn right and jump
to the next platform. Follow the path as it curves to the left. In
front of you, you will see a hollow metal pipe.
Jump onto it, walk to the end, and jump up to the next platform. Take
out all of the lizards and walk forward. Turn left and you will see a
rotating metal pipe.
It will stop for a second, so make your way across and take out the
Metal Head. Turn right and walk across the next metal pipe, making
sure to jump over the moving electric fence. Walk forward and take
out the lizards and another Metal Head.
Jump onto one of the moving pistons and ride it to the top. Jump to
the platform. Walk to the end of the platform and jump to the next
one. Kill the Metal Head and the large lizards. Walk across the metal
pipe, double jumping over two electric fences. Take out the small
lizards on the other side.
Jump to the next platform and take out the Metal Heads and the lizards.
Walk to the end of the platform and jump to the metal walkway. Take out
some more lizards. Cross the rotating metal pipe and jump to the next
platform. Take out the lizards.
Jump to the next platform and walk until you reach the metal walkway.
Walk up the metal ramp and follow the path until you reach the valve.
Watch the scene. Return to Torn for your next mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blow Up Ammo At Fortress:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your next mission is to blow up an ammo dump in the Baron's fortress.
Follow the red symbol to the fortress and walk inside. You will see a
security tank in front of you. It won't harm you for the time being.
Turn left and walk through the security gate.
As you do so, the security tank will activate. This next part is a
little tricky. You will have to avoid the fire of the tank as you make
your way around the room. The target will show where the tank is going
to shoot. The target will lock in place a second or two before the tank
is about to fire.
The best thing to do here is to take it slow. Double jump often and try
not to rush. You are much quicker than the tank's gun. After you make
your way around the room, you and the tank will be separated by a metal
gate. The tank will bust through and the chase will continue.
This part is even more tricky. In addition to the tank's massive gun,
you have to watch out for four other smaller guns. On each gun is a
moving motion-detector laser beam that sets of the gun. As you double
jump and avoid the tank's fire, be very careful to jump over the beams.
It takes a few tries to get it right but you'll get it eventually.
After you pass the four smaller guns, follow the hallway as it curves
to the left. Continue to avoid the tank's fire and jump onto the crate.
Wait for the tank to fire again, then jump to the pole and swing to the
hallway above. Walk forward and turn right.
The tank will follow you into the next room but its much less
threatening now. Walk to the end of the walkway and turn left. Walk to
the end of the next walkway. To your left you will see some rotating
platforms. Wait for one to move near you and jump onto it. In the center
of the rotating platforms is a glass tube glowing blue. Jump to that
platform and destroy the tube. Jump to the platform with the second blue
tube and destroy that as well. This will deactivate a security gate.
Jump onto one of the rotating platforms and walk through the deactivated
gate. Walk forward and turn left. Jump across the moving platforms and
take out some Krimson Guards. Follow the path as it curves around and
walk forward. Jump across some more moving platforms and take out more
Guards.
Turn around and jump across more moving platforms to reach the next
walkway. Take out the Guards and follow the to the left. Wait for the
spikes to retract into the ground and dash past them. Take out some
more Guards and turn left.
At the next set of spikes, wait for the nearest row to retract into
the ground and walk forward. Wait for the middle set to retract and
walk forward again. When the final set of spikes retracts into the
ground, dart forward and take out the next wave of Krimson Guards.
Follow the path to the end and break through the grate in the floor.
Walk down the conveyor belt and jump to one of the moving platforms.
Jump the gap to the next ledge. Climb the series of ledges and walk
down the next conveyor belt. Walk through the door and watch the scene.
After the scene, another security tank will activate. You are trapped
in the room, so it looks like you have to fight the tank. Instead, you
will have to run from the tank and force it to destroy the ammo and the
missile coolant systems. It's much easier than it sounds, trust me.
Just run around the giant missile in the middle of the room and the
tank will do the rest.
After everything is destroyed, a door will open and you will have six
seconds to get out of there before the place blows up. Run to the door
and watch the scene that follows. Return to Torn for your next mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make Delivery To Hip Hog Saloon:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For your next mission, you will have to make a delivery of eco to the
Hip Hog Saloon. Head outside and walk to the glowing zoomer. It's time
to finally leave the slums.
Hop into the zoomer to start the mission. The bar overhead shows how
close you are to your destination. Now, follow the wine glass symbol
to reach your destination.
For the first part of the mission, the Krimson Guard won't bother you
(provided you don't bump into one of them). However, as you head
through the red barrier, the Krimson Guard will be alerted to your
presence, setting up roadblocks and chasing after you.
My suggestion for this mission is that you stay in the low hover zone
for most of the mission. In the low hover zone, you can run over
Krimson Guards with ease and roadblocks won't pose much of a threat.
Snake your way through the city until you reach a large body of water.
Here, switch to the high hover zone and head straight for the glowing
circle. As soon as you reach the Hip Hog Saloon, switch to the low
hover zone and fly into the glowing circle. You will automatically jump
out of the zoomer.
Walk inside and watch the scene.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beat The Scatter Gun Course:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Head outside and follow the symbol on the map to reach the gun course.
Walk inside and Sig will give you a tutorial on the scatter gun.
Afterwards, press x to start the scatter gun course. It's pretty
straightforward. Shoot the Metal Heads and avoid shooting the
pedestrians. You get points for each destroyed Metal Head but points
are deducted if you shoot pedestrians. Get 3000 points to beat the
scatter gun course.
It's pretty easy to get 3000 points but if you're having trouble,
here are a few tips. Try to get two Metal Heads with each shot
because the scatter gun has a wide area. Always hit the gold targets
first because they're worth a lot. The spin kick attack works well
if you want to avoid pedestrians, considering you are still awarded
full points. Also, you can use the spin kick + R1 combo to shoot
rapid fire and hit fast targets. There are points in the course
where a target will be in front of you and one will be behind you.
Stand in the middle of them and use the rapid fire combo to rack
up points and get quick kills.
Once you are finished, head back to Krew's bar for your next mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Protect Sig At Pumping Station:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the scene, head back outside and return to the pumping station.
It's time to toast some Metal Heads.
As soon as you get to the pumping station, you'll meet up with Sig.
He's ready for action. Follow Sig and take out the lizards and metal
heads on the beach. Ride the pistons to the top and jump onto the
platform. Take cover as Sig toasts the giant tank.
Walk down the new path and take out two more Metal Heads and some
lizards. Sig asks you to drop the bridge, so walk over and hang
off the side to lower it. Walk across and kill more lizards as Sig
charges the Peacemaker. When they're all dead, Sig fires the lethal
shot. That's one down, four two go.
Follow Sig down the ramp and onto the beach. There are a bunch of
Metal Heads waiting for you, so take them out and move forward.
Kill some more lizards as Sig charges the Peacemaker again. It
takes a bit longer this time but there are less lizards than
before. That's two down.
Walk over to the metal walkway and climb the steps to the top.
Take out some more Metal Heads, then lower the bridge for Sig.
Walk to the end of the walkway and then kill some more lizards
while Sig charges the Peacemaker again. It takes even longer this
time. Make sure you pay attention to both sides of the walkway.
That's three down.
Follow Sig to the end of the metal walkway. Jump across the platforms
and you will be on another beach. Toast some more metal heads. Kill
more lizards while Sig charges the Peacemaker. They come from both
sides of the beach so watch out. That's four down.
Follow Sig across the river and take out some more Metal Heads.
Sig's gun will jam, so protect him from Metal Heads until he fixes
it. Follow Sig to the end of the beach to reach the final Metal Head.
Take out a last swarm of lizards while Sig charges the Peacemaker a
final time. That's all five down. Good job, cherry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go To The Oracle:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Head back to the city. By now, you should have at least 25 Metal
Head Skull Gems. This means that an orange-ish symbol will appear
on your map. Head to the symbol to see the Oracle. The Oracle will
give you a new dark power: Dark Bomb. This can only be activated in
Dark Jak mode. Press x to jump then square to activate this awesome
new power. Exit the Oracle's hut and return to Krew for a new mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destroy Turrets In Sewers:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the hilarious scene, head outside and follow the symbol
to reach the entrance to the sewers. Brace yourself. It's gonna
be a dirty job.
Head down into the sewers and walk forwards. Take out the lizards
and step on the light switch. Walk to the end of the tunnel and
look around the corner. Here is the first gun turret. The turrets
are powerful but they are low in defense. One hit will destroy them.
Turn the corner and head towards the turret, double jumping over the
gunfire. As long as you keep jumping the gun can't hurt you. Take out
the first turret.
Jump across the platforms to reach the next pathway. Turn left and
walk to the end. Jump to the next walkway and take out the Metal Head
behind the fence. Walk to the end of the walkway and turn left. Jump
across the platforms to reach solid ground. Take out the lizards and
turn right.
Step on the light switch to reveal three large Metal Heads. Take them
out and move forward. Take out some lizards and turn left. Walk forward
and hug the right wall. You will see the next turret up ahead. It is a
little trickier to get to but still manageable. Double jump over the
gunfire and take it out. That's two down.
Turn around and walk back across the narrow walkway. Walk forward and
step onto the metal walkway. It will collapse, sending you down to the
level below. Follow the path around the corner and step on the light
switch. There are a lot of Metal Heads in this room. Switch into Dark
Jak mode if you can. If not, keep using rapid fire combos, aerial
rapid fire combos, or just keep shooting until they're all dead.
Head to the back of the room and look at the left wall. There are
platforms jutting out of the wall. Climb them to the top and walk
forward. Take out the lizards and turn right. Walk to the end of
the walkway and you will hear gunfire.
To reach this turret, you will have to jump across four small
platforms, while double jumping over gunfire. It's best to wait
for the turret to fire and then jump to the first platform so you
have time to jump over the next gunshot. Take out the turret.
That's three down.
Turn left and jump onto the next platform. Climb the steps to the
next path and turn on the light switch. As you walk forwards, the
lights will go out and three Metal Heads will run at you. You can
still see the Skull Gem, so take them out and continue forward.
The next turret is just around the bend to the left. This one is
actually easier than the last one. To reach it, you need to jump
across three large platforms, while jumping over gunfire. It's much
easier with large platforms. Take out the turret. That's all four down.
Turn left and take out some lizards. Walk to the end of the hall and
turn right. Take out two more Metal Heads and jump down to the level
below. You are back where you began. Turn right, walk to the end of
the hall, and ride the lift back to the surface world. Return to Krew
for your next mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beat Blaster Gun Course:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Head back outside and return to the gun course. Here you will find the
blaster mod. Sig will give you a tutorial on the blaster.
After that's over, it's time for another gun course. This is very
similar to the first one. The only difference is that for the blaster,
you need to make 4000 points. Use the same tactics as before and you
should have no problem making four thousand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rescue Vin At Strip Mine:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Head outside and you will see two symbols on the map. Looks like Torn
has some more missions for you. Return to Torn's hideout and watch the
scene.
Looks like one of the rebels is in trouble. Head back outside and head
towards the new symbol on the map (the lightning bolt). Walk into the
house and use the warp gate at the back of the room. You will be
transported to the strip mine.
Ok, here's where the fighting starts to get more intense. The strip
mine is filled with pools of dark eco and that attracts lots of Metal
Heads. Avoid the dark eco at all costs. It will kill you instantly.
Walk forward and a bunch of scorpion Metal Heads will rise out of the
sand. Take them out with your favorite type of gun. Continue forward
and take out some large Metal Heads. Follow the path as it curves to
the left.
Continue forward and a new type of Metal Head will appear. These
flying types will shoot beams of dark eco at you. Take care of them
with the blaster. As you enter the large area with the conveyor belt,
you will be attack on all sides by various types of Metal Heads. Be
on your guard and try not to waste your ammo. It's best to use rapid
fire combos and watch your back at all times. When they're all dead,
continue forward.
A bunch more Metal Heads will pop up as you follow the path. The
scorpions will pop out of the ground at random, so be cautious.
They will try to sneak up on you but as long as you keep your finger
trained on the trigger, they shouldn't be a problem. Continue to
follow the path as it curves around to the right until you reach
a conveyor belt going upwards.
Ride the conveyor belt and kill the Metal Head at the top. Ride
the next belt and kill some more Metal Heads. Hop onto one of the
moving platforms and ride it over to the other side. On the way,
flying Metal Heads will assault you. They shouldn't be too much
of a problem at this point, though.
On the other side, kill a scorpion and a large Metal head and
walk towards the metal door. Watch the scene that follows.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destroy Eggs At Drill Platform:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After you come out of the warp gate, walk towards the computers for
another scene. Vin has a mission for you at the drill platform. Jump
back through the warp gate when you're ready.
Walk forward and you will see a new type of Metal Head. These are
like living buzz saws. Shoot them from a distance to avoid them
swarming you. Kill all of the buzz saws and continue forward.
Kill some more buzz saws and walk to the end of the path. Turn
right and walk onto the square in middle. It will take you to
the level above.
Get into the gun pod by pressing triangle. Your primary task here
is to destroy all of the eggs on the drill platform but first you
have to take care of some large flying Metal Heads. Once they are
all dead, take out all of the eggs. On the right side of your
screen, it will tell you how many eggs you have left to destroy.
When they are all gone, exit the gun pod and ride the elevator down
to the bottom floor. Turn right and walk forward. Turn left and jump
onto the ledge. Turn right and jump onto the next ledge. Turn right
again and ride the conveyor belt. Turn left and walk towards the hole
in the wall.
Here there is a Metal Head with a large shield. Wait until it attacks,
then shoot it with your blaster. Continue forward and kill all of the
buzz saws. When they are all dead, walk to the left side of the area.
There is a small stack of eco barrels here. Jump onto the barrels and
then jump onto the larger stack next to it.
From here, jump to the next platform. Watch out because platform with
the metal grille will spout fire every few seconds. Wait for the fire
to recede and walk to the end of the platform. Jump to the next
platform and wait for some more fire to recede. Walk to the end of
the platform.
Spin kick the red switch to make a new platform appear. Jump onto
the new platform and jump to another walkway. In front of you is a
conveyor belt moving towards you. As you walk down that conveyor belt,
keep your gun at the ready because four buzz saws will attack you at
the bottom. Take them out and walk to the end of the walkway.
Turn left and walk to the end. On the platform ahead, there are bunch
of buzz saws waiting to attack you. Kill them from a distance using
the aerial rapid fire combo. Spin kick the red switch to create a
new platform. Jump to it and jump to the platform where the buzz saws
were moments ago. Kill any remaining buzz saws.
Turn right and drop down to the platform below. Cross the bridge,
watching out for the gunshots of the large flying Metal Head. On the
other side, kill all of the buzz saws and ride the elevator to the
level above. Kill a couple more buzz saws and hop into the gun pod.
Kill the large flying Metal Heads and then take out the eggs.
Exit the gun pod and ride the elevator down to the level below. There
are a bunch of buzz saws waiting at the bottom, so keep your gun at
the ready. Kill all of them and walk forward. Jump onto the eco
crates and then jump onto the ledge above. Go through the hole in the
wall and take out another shielded Metal Head.
Walk to the other side and drop down to the platform below. There is
a series of platforms here leading to the other side of the gap. They
will all collapse underneath you, so you have to be fast. Jump to the
first platform and then to the first pole. Swing to the next platform
and then jump to the next pole.
Swing to the next platform and then jump from platform to platform
until you reach solid ground. Turn left and kill some more buzz saws.
Ride the elevator to the top and hop into the gun pod. Kill the large
flying Metal Heads and destroy all the eggs.
Exit the gun pod and ride the elevator to the bottom. Kill two more
buzz saws and follow the path until you reach the warp gate. Jump
through it and you will be back at Vin's place.
He doesn't have any more mission's for you at the moment, so return
to Torn's hideout for your next mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Find Pumping Station Patrol:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the scene, hop into a zoomer and return to the pumping station.
Apparently, the pumping station patrol went missing, so it's your job
to find her.
When you get to the pumping station, you will see how bad things have
gotten there. Those crab Metal Heads Sig toasted earlier have overrun
the place, so you'll have to take them out. Avoid their gunfire and
blast them. It should take 4 or five hits to kill them.
Take out the crab and walk over to the pistons. Ride them to the top
and turn left. Walk down the path and kill two more Metal Heads. Turn
right, walk across the bridge and turn left. Run down the ramp and
walk out onto the beach. Kill all of the Metal Heads here and follow
the beach as it curves to the right.
Climb the steps onto the metal walkway and kill two more Metal Heads.
Walk to the end of the walkway and turn right. Jump across the
platforms to reach the beach. Take out the three crabs here. Turn
back around and walk back towards the platforms. Jump onto the first
platform and then jump onto the platform on the right. From here,
jump onto the lowest spinning platform. Jump from platform to platform
to reach a metal walkway.
Ride the leftmost piston to the top and jump to the ledge above. Fill
up on ammo and follow the path to the end. Take out the Metal Heads
and walk forward for a scene. You will be bombarded with Metal Heads
now. I would suggest aerial rapid fire combos and Dark Jak. Do your best
not to get hit and try not to get too close to the crabs and you should
be alright. After the long fight, watch another scene. Return to the
city.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Find Lens In Mountain Temple:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that you have the yellow security pass, you have access to the rest
of Haven City. Head towards the tent-shaped symbol on the map for your
next mission. Walk inside the tent for a scene.
After the scene, walk back outside and make your way towards the rock
shape symbol on your map. Walk up the long ramp and exit the city.
In the next area, turn right and walk over to the warp gate. Jump
through the gate to reach the next area. Walk to the end of
path and turn right. Shoot the floating platform to flip it over.
Jump to the platform and then jump the gap to the ledge. Walk onto
the circle at the end of the path. This is an elevator. Ride it down
to the path below. Take out the Metal Heads in front of you and walk
forward.
Take the path to the left and take out a shield Metal Head. Walk
forward and kill some frog-like Metal Heads. Climb the grassy steps
and use the platforms to get across the water. Walk to the end of
the path and drop down into the trench.
Here you will be assaulted by a Rhino Metal Head. It cannot be
damaged initially because it is covered in armor. However, if you
dodge it long enough, it will rear up on its hind legs, exposing
the weak spot on its belly. It will take 6 or 7 shots but eventually
it will go down.
Take out the Rhino and use your dive attack to hit the precursor
switch in the middle of the trench. This will create a platform
on the left side of the trench. Jump up to the platform and then
jump onto the ledge above.
Take out the shield Metal Head and jump across the gap. Walk to
the end of the path and a scene will take over. Turn around and
jump onto the first floating platform. Wait for the second
platform to move towards you and jump on. Jump to the third
platform and ride it to the top. Jump to the grassy ledge.
Turn right and shoot the platform. Jump to the platform and jump
to the grassy ledge. Walk forward and you will see another moving
platform. Make your way across, double jumping over the two
barricades. Kill some more Metal Heads and wade across the river.
Continue forward and take out another shield Metal Head. Dive
attack the switch to make two platforms appear.
Jump from platform to platform to reach the grassy ledge above.
There is an armada of frogs waiting for you, so take them out
with a few rapid fire combos. Wade across the river and enter
the gazebo. Walk forward for a scene.
After the scene, turn right and exit the gazebo. Jump onto
the floating platform and ride it down to a large temple.
Kill all of the frogs here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Find Gear In Mountain Temple:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn left and walk over to the 'window'. There shoot be a floating
platform in front of you. Shoot it and jump on. Shoot the next
platform and jump on. Shoot the final platform and jump on. Jump
down to the grassy area below.
Take care of another Rhino. Dive attack the precursor switch on
the left to create two platforms on the right side of the area.
Jump from platform to platform to reach the grassy ledge above.
Continue down the path and take out some more Metal Heads. Follow
the path until you reach the end. Drop down to the pathway below.
For this next part, you need to dodge a constant barrage of
boulders while climbing a series of platforms.
The best thing to do is to hang from the edge of each platform
and wait for an opening in the rain of boulders before continuing
forward. For the second part of the climb, you can hide behind the
large rocks to avoid getting hit. After that, it's just a short
climb to the top of the hill.
Follow the path to the end and shoot the platform. Jump onto the
platform and then jump onto the platform in the middle. Shoot the
next platform and jump onto it. Jump to the grassy path in front
of you. Follow the path to the end and watch the scene that follows.
After the scene, walk to the floating platform and ride it down to
the temple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Find Shard In Mountain Temple:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walk forward and go through the temple exit across from where
you came in (the only one you haven't been to). Walk forward
and kill some Metal Heads. Continue down the path and you will
be assaulted by a horde of frogs. Use Dark Jak if you can or
just keep shooting until they're all dead.
Follow the path some more and kill a shield Metal Head. Climb
the platforms on the left to reach the grassy area above. Cross
the moving platform and follow the path until you reach the pool
of dark eco.
You will see several floating boxes over the pool. You have to
hit the boxes in order to make a bridge across the pool. For the
first box, hit it forward, left, forward, forward, left. For the
second box, hit it left, forward, forward, forward, left.
For the third box, hit it forward, right, right, right, forward.
For the fourth box, hit it forward, forward, right, forward, forward.
For the last box, hit it forward, right, forward, forward, right.
Jump onto the grassy platform and climb the steps to the top. Shoot
the platform and jump onto it. Jump to the platform with the Rhino.
Take out the Rhino to clear the way forward. Jump to the new platform
and jump to the ledge above. Walk forward for a scene.
After the scene, turn around and jump back to the platform where you
fought the Rhino. Walk to the right side of the platform and look over
the edge. There should be a grassy area just below. Drop down and you
should see the temple entrance in front of you. Walk to the right and
drop down to the path below. Turn left and walk into the temple.
Walk forward a bit, turn left, and leave the temple. Walk to the end
of the path and ride the elevator to the top. Turn right and walk
forward. Shoot the platform and use it to cross the gap. Turn left,
walk forward, and jump into the warp gate. Return to the city.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go To The Oracle:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By now, you should have at least 200 Metal Head Skull Gems, so it's
time to return to the Oracle for another dark power. Grab a zoomer
and head over to the Oracle's hut. The Oracle will give you the Dark
Blast attack this time. You can activate it by pressing square then
immediately pressing x. Say goodbye to your enemies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beat Time To Race Garage:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now it's time to do some more jobs for Krew. Get in a zoomer and
return to Krew's bar for your next mission. After the scene, head
back outside and jump in the zoomer parked nearby.
You will now have about 3 minutes to get to the race garage from
here. You really shouldn't have too much trouble with this. As
long as you take the inside of corners and fly mostly in the low
hover zone, you should make it there with plenty of time to spare.
Watch the scene that follows.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Win Jet-Board Stadium Challenge:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the scene, follow the symbol on the map to the jet board
arena. You will get a tutorial on how to use the jet board and
then you will be asked to get at least 15000 points in the arena.
It's not that hard. Just keep on stringing tricks together and
you should have it in no time. I find it best to grind, then do
a trick, then go back into a grind for an easy string of tricks
to rack up your score.
After you beat the stadium challenge, exit the arena and step
into the glowing circle to put your board away. Return to the
race garage for another scene.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn On Five Power Switches:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the scene, your work here is done. Hop in a zoomer and
head over to Vin's place for a new mission.
After the scene, head outside and steal a durable car. It's time to
take out some turrets. Remember the turret guns you destroyed in the
sewers? Well, there are five of them spread across the city. Each
one guards a power switch that you need to activate.
The trick to this is take out all of the turrets before you hit
any of the switches. Otherwise, the Krimson guards will be on
your tail while you try to deal with the turrets.
So, get in a car and fly to the first turret. Fly into the turret
and have the car block the turrets gunfire. Then take out the
turret with a spin attack. Do the same thing for all five turrets.
Once the turrets are taken out, it's time to press the switches.
Step on the first switch and steal a fast car. Evade the Krimson
Guard and fly from switch to switch until they're all pressed.
If you take your time, this mission should be a piece of cake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ride Elevator Up To Palace:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that the elevator has power, it's time to ride it. Follow
the elevator symbol on the map to reach the service elevator.
Walk inside and ride it to the top. Walk outside and you'll see
you have quite a trek ahead of you.
In order to reach the palace, you have to cross a bridge filled
with numerous hazards. Walk down the steps and start your journey.
First you will have to get past spinning electric fan-blades.
They aren't much of a threat. Just wait for an opening and jump
past both sets of fan-blades.
Continue forward until you see a part of the path that's red.
This section of the path is electrified, so you'll have to go
around. Drop down to the platform on the left and descend the
stairs. Swing across the poles and climb the steps to the top.
When you reach the top, you will be block by another electrified
part of the path. Drop down to the platform on the right and jump
the gap to the next platform. Jump back up to the main walkway.
Watch out for the gun turret in front of you. Jump over its gunfire
and take it out. For the next part, you will have to walk across a
part of the walkway that is constantly rotating. Half of the walkway
is covered in spikes, so wait for the spiked side to rotate and jump
on the non-spiked side. Quickly cross the the walkway before it
rotates on you.
Up ahead is another gun turret. Take it out and continue forward.
The walkway will end up ahead, so drop down to the platform on
the right. Follow the walkway as it snakes underneath the bridge
and then climb the steps up to the main walkway.
Walk forward and you will see a single piece of rotating walkway
followed by more electrified walkway. Wait for the spiked side
of the walkway to rotate and jump on the non-spiked side. Jump
to the platform on the right. Jump up to the next platform and
then jump to the thin platform on the main walkway.
As you continue forward, two cannons will continually fire at you.
You can't destroy them, so double jump over the gunfire as you walk
down the path. As soon as you pass the cannons, they'll stop firing.
At the end of the path, climb the series of platforms on the right
and walk towards the sunroof for a scene.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Defeat Baron At Palace:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn left and follow the path until a scene takes over.
===========
Boss Fight:
===========
++++++++++++++++++++
Baron Praxis: Part 1
++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++
Stage 1: Machine guns
+++++++++++++++++++++
In the first stage, the baron will fire at you with dual machine guns.
In this stage, I would advise using a Dark Blast to end the stage
early. However, if you don't have Dark Jak or just want a challenge,
you can do it the hard way.
Avoid the gunfire by either rolling or jumping. Be quick though,
because the guns fire fast. Use aerial rapid fire combos and well
placed shots to whittle away the baron's health. If you need ammo
there are KG crates nearby. As soon as 1/3 of the baron's health
is gone, the baron will flee.
Chase after him to begin stage 2
+++++++++++++++++
Stage 2: Missiles
+++++++++++++++++
In the second stage, the baron will fire missiles at you. They
