Complete walkthrough for the Lava Tube, the final Zoomer level in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Includes tips for collecting Power Cells, Scout Flies, and Precursor Orbs.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To enter the Lava Tube, you need at least 72 Power Cells. The entrance is opposite the Spider Cave; follow the railroad tracks in Volcanic Crater.
  2. 2
    The Lava Tube is a race against time. The Zoomer explodes if its temperature exceeds 800 degrees. Use coolant balloons (blue) and Blue Eco speed boosts to manage temperature and speed.
  3. 3
    This level features branching paths and more jumps than previous levels. Pay close attention to where you land to avoid lava pits. Restart points are available.
  4. 4
    About halfway through, you'll reach a circular chamber with a locked door. Destroy the spinning device in the center by powering up with Yellow Eco and hitting the red-orange balls.
  5. 5
    After destroying the device, careful jumping is crucial. You will then enter a minefield; use Yellow Eco to blast explosives and clear a path.
  6. 6
    Reach the end of the tube to complete the level and earn a Power Cell.
Tips
  • Wait until you've completed the Lava Tube once before attempting to collect Scout Flies.
  • Scout Fly 1: Near the beginning, after a cooling balloon, between a stone column and the right wall.
  • Scout Fly 2: In the middle of the path, after the first big jump.
  • Scout Fly 3: Just after destroying the spinning machine, on the railway to the left.
  • Scout Fly 4: Keep an eye on the ground in the first minefield.
  • Scout Fly 5: At the very end of the first minefield, just before the jump.
  • Scout Fly 6: At the very beginning of the second minefield.
  • Scout Fly 7: About halfway through the second minefield, after a Dark Eco mine.
  • If you are short on Precursor Orbs, replay the level and try different branching paths. Explore thoroughly.
  • Hit the teleport switch at the end to activate a cutscene with Keira and prepare for the final level.
