Master Geyser Rock in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy! Learn how to collect Power Cells, find Precursor Orbs, and use Eco with this step-by-step guide.
Alright, welcome to Geyser Rock! After the intro cutscenes, you'll be dropped into this super simple tutorial area. Your first task is just to get a feel for the controls. Run around, jump, and use Jak's basic attacks to get comfortable. Don't worry, there's nothing to miss here!
- 1Find the Cell on the Path: Head forward from where you start, ignoring the sandy areas on the sides. Smash the wooden boxes in front of you with any attack to get some Green Eco. This stuff heals you, so always keep an eye out for it! Keep moving forward and grab any Precursor Orbs you see – these are important for trading later. At the top of some stairs, you'll see a scarecrow; you can practice moves on it, but it's not necessary. There's more Green Eco and some orbs near a spike pit. Grab everything, then carefully go around or over the pit to find your very first Power Cell. Get ready for that celebratory cutscene!
- 2Free 7 Scout Flies: Hop over the next spike pit. You'll see red and gray metal boxes scattered around. These contain Scout Flies, and collecting seven of them in an area earns you a Power Cell. These boxes are tough, though – Jak's normal attacks won't break them. You need to use his dive attack: jump, then press Square in midair. All seven Scout Flies are right in front of you, so start diving into those boxes to get your second Power Cell.
- 3Open the Precursor Door: Continue forward, and Samos will pop in to tell you about Blue Eco. Touching Blue Eco temporarily supercharges Jak, making him run faster, pull in nearby Precursor Orbs, and activate Precursor tech. Touch the two floating chunks of Blue Eco to see this in action. Now, dash along the path, grabbing the scattered Precursor Orbs. You'll reach a strange door in the rock wall. To open it, find the vent on the right that's releasing Blue Eco. Stand in the vent to get a full Blue Eco charge. Quickly run back to the door while powered up, and it'll open right up! Your third Power Cell is on the other side.
- 4Climb Up the Cliff: Jump into the pool below to get a feel for swimming controls, though you won't do it much. Grab the orbs on the pontoons, then climb back onto land. Use the columns to ascend the cliff. You'll find more orbs up there. Cross the bridge, and grab the Green Eco and three Precursor Orbs waiting for you. Cross another bridge, and after Samos's commentary, use Jak's double jump (jump once, then jump again in midair) to reach the platforms leading to the ridge above. Your fourth and final Power Cell for Geyser Rock is up here. Grab it, then use the Blue Eco cluster to power the elevator that takes you back down.
Before you leave: Press Start and check your Precursor Orb count. If you have 50 out of 50, you're good to go! If not, you'll need to replay the level to find the missing ones. There's a small beach area near where the Scout Flies were that's easy to miss on your first run. Once you've got everything, use the warp gate to head back.
- Always smash wooden boxes for Green Eco. It's your main source of health!
- Grab every Precursor Orb you see. They're used to unlock Power Cells later.
- Remember the dive attack (Jump + Square in midair) for smashing metal Scout Fly boxes.
- Blue Eco is your best friend for speed and activating technology. Use it wisely!
