List of Jak and Daxter Locations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Throughout the course of Naughty Dog's fictional Jak and Daxter videogame series, there have been many locations mentioned or explored. They can primarily be divided into two categories: the old world, set at the time of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and the new world, set at the time of Daxter onwards.

[edit] The Old World
304 years ago, the world of Jak and Daxter was much more basic. There were no large cities, only small villages. People lived simple, happier lives. The four sages governed the powers of the mysterious substance known as eco, and all anyone had to worry about was their jobs. However, that all changed when Gol and Maia, the Dark Sages, turned mad and tried to flood the world with deadly Dark Eco. A hero from 300 years in the future, Jak, and his best friend Daxter, managed to defeat Gol and Maia, but they discovered a mysterious Rift Gate soon afterwards. Vicious creatures called Metal Heads came into the world from the future, and they essentially destroyed the old world.
[edit] Geyser Rock
This small island was used mostly uninhabited by living things, so Samos used it as a training ground, placing test dummies all over it. The geyser that the island is named for is colossal, and its jets of water can be seen from the coast of the mainland. Before journeying to find Gol so he could transform Daxter back into a human, Jak and Daxter were sent to Geyser Rock to get some practice adventuring.
[edit] Fire Canyon
This canyon, connecting Sandover Village and Rock Village, is filled with lava so hot, it could even melt Precursor metal. The only way across is by A-Grav Zoomer, with a heat shield capable of withstanding temperatures up to 500 degrees. Usually, travellers between the villages chose the easier way and used teleporter gates.
[edit] Forbidden Jungle
This jungle is very dangerous and is considered off-limits by many. At the heart of the jungle lies the Forbidden Temple, which is home to many secrets including the deadly Dark Eco Plant. Ollie the Fisherman often came to the Forbidden Jungle to fish in the river that flows through the area.
[edit] Misty Island
A large island to the far south, which was permanently covered in a thick layer of fog. A massive Dark Eco silo was located here, so the Lurkers maintained a strong presence here and even built a headquarters on the island. Samos strictly forbid Jak and Daxter from going to the island, but they did anyway, and it was where Daxter was transformed into an Ottsel.
[edit] Sandover Village
The largest village seen in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and also the home of Samos, Keira, Jak and Daxter. Samos' hut sat on a plinth of rock high above the waves, and it even managed to survive until the time of Jak II. The village was powered by an eco-powered windmill, which received eco from the nearby Forbidden Jungle. Other inhabitants of Sandover Village included the Sculptor, Ollie the Fisherman, Jak's Uncle, Tweetledov Perch, Mayor Manac, and Farmer Zeb.
[edit] Sentinel Beach
Stretching to the west of Sandover Village, this beach was dotted with ancient Precursor monuments called sentinels, which looked out over the sea. Samos had several Green Eco harvesters to the far west side of the beach, which collected Green Eco as it came forth from Green Eco Vents.
[edit] The New World
300 years after the Metal Heads first entered the world through the Rift Gate, much has changed in the world. The legendary hero Mar built Haven City to protect the people and the Precursor Stone from the Metal Heads, and the world is much more technologically-orientated and crowded. Haven City is almost permanently being fought over between different factions, due to its central location and historical importance.
[edit] Haven City
Main article: Haven City
Built by the hero Mar to protect both his people, and the Precursor Stone from the Metal Heads, Haven City is a bustling metropolis that is at the centre of many important events. Divided into several regions itself, it's like a world within a world, and most of its citizens never get to see what's outside the walls.
[edit] Kras City
A large coastal city, which is famous for being home to several crime bosses and its dangerous combat racing sport. Much of the city is made up of docks and harbours, but the city centre does feature several stadiums, bars, and other places of interest. Mizo and Krew both had strong connections in the city, making it a very dangerous place to live up until Mizo's defeat by Jak in Jak X: Combat Racing.
[edit] Spargus City
Main article:Spargus City
Spargus City is a city full of those banished to the Wasteland by Haven City. It was carved in a mountin, and Damas is the king. Spargus has two landmarks: the Arena of Death (as Pecker describes it), which tests newcomers' abilities, and Damass' Palace, but now it seems that Sig is king. It is in the Wasteland.
