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 eventually destroyed the old world.
[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. Sandover Village is also home to the Oracle.
[edit] Geyser Rock
This small island was 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] 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. The main blue eco switch is located in the main temple.
[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 (in the prologue, Samos referred the duo's first visit to Misty Island as a "small act of disobedience").
[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] 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] Rock Village
Rock Village is the second village in the Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Klaww attacked the village with flaming rocks before he was defeated by Jak after collecting enough Power Cells. This is the second largest and only other village that Jak visits in the Old World. Some of the inhabitants were the Geologist, the Gambler, the blue sage before he was captured, and the warrior. Rock Village is also home to the Oracle.
[edit] Precursor Basin
The Precursor Basin is home to various things. One of the most notable are the lightning moles. These animals are blind and heavily rely on their hearing for survival. A green eco vent is also housed here. Jak will use it to kill some dark eco plants by the request of Samos. The final thing that is located here is a race track. Beat the record for the gambler and he will reward you with a Power Cell.
[edit] Underwater Precursor City
This city is located right in the water of Rock Village. Jak ventures here to raise a chamber. Although the blue sage tries to do this, he never accomplishes this. Jak is successful in doing this using blue eco. After raising the chamber, Keira says, "Wow! you've used eco in ways we've never even dreamt before." This city also contains one of the few dark eco silos in the Old World.
[edit] Boggy Swamp
The Boggy Swamp is located on the outskirts of Rock Village. The lurkers have set up a blimp over top of the swamp. They have four tethers attached to it trying to pull up a precursor robot heart. A hill billy type character lives in the swamp and tells you, " I own these here parts, anything that doesn't sink into the mud that is!" This makes Daxter think that his bathtub fell in long ago.
[edit] Klaww
Klaww is the first three major boss in the game that you must defeat to advance in the game. You go through three rounds with Klaww. All he does is throw rocks at you the whole battle. Yellow eco is used to defeat him.
[edit] Mountain Pass
Look out! This pass is full of explosives. If you hit just one of the big ones, then you are dead. There are three Power Cells in the pass. One of which requires yellow eco to acquire. The mountain pass will lead you to the Volcanic Crater. The mountain pass is also the last area in the Rock Village region.
[edit] Volcanic Crater
The Volcanic Crater is the last village type area before Gol and Maia's citadel. The Volcanic Crater is the hub area to Spider Cave, Lava Tube, and Snowy Mountain. Gordy and Willard are also located in this area. They are in a large tunnel with an even larger diamond. They will give you four power cells for 90 orbs each. There is also a hard to get power cell in this area. You can find it yourself. There is also a lift to the Snowy Mountain here. The Volcanic Crater is also home to the final Oracle.
[edit] Snowy Mountain
The Snowy Mountain is home to the main power switch for the yellow eco. There is a lurker fortress located up here also. To get into it you will need Flut Flut. There are also many switch to deactivate for a Power Cell. The lurkers up here are a different breed.
[edit] Spider Cave
Spider Cave is named correctly. Knowing this, if you are afraid of spiders, then this is not the level for you. There are yellow eco vents everywhere. This also the level which contains the Precursor robot before it is unburied. It is a somewhat difficult level. There is much to do in this level. There are dark eco crystals to destroy, giant bugs to squish, and power cells to collect.
[edit] Lava Tube
This is the final and the longest of the four A-grav zoomer levels. It takes you through a tunnel that takes you underground to Gol and Maia's Citadel. It contains a lot of yellow eco to use, scout flies, and of course lava. It may take some time, but you will eventually get to Gol and Maia's Citadel.
[edit] Gol and Maia's Citadel
Gol and Maia's Citadel is the final level. You will meet all the sages here. That would be blue sage, yellow sage, green sage, and red sage. They have all been captured to power the Precursor robot. You must traverse through three obstacle courses before you can take on Gol and Maia.
[edit] Precursor Robot
This is it. The final fight. You must go through four rounds before you can defeat them. The first consists of them trying to open up the silo. In the second round, some black creatures come after you. In the third round, yellow energy balls are fired at you. In the final round, red exploding energy falls are thrown onto field. Once you advance through all four rounds, white eco makes its appearance. Pick up some of this destroy the robot. Before that happens, Daxter trys to decide whether he should save the world or turn back into a person. You should know what he chose. After all, big things come in small packages.
[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. The "Dead Town" area of the city is partially built on the former site of Sandover Village.
[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 mountain, and Damas is the king. Spargus has two landmarks: the Arena of Death (as Pecker describes it), which tests newcomers' abilities, and Damas' Palace, but now it seems that Sig is king. It is in the Wasteland.
