Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - All Power Cells in Precursor Basin

Author : Lillian Mar 21,2025

After conquering the fiery trials of Fire Canyon, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy delivers a slightly less perilous, yet arguably more challenging, vehicle-based level: Precursor Basin. While less deadly, completing all of Precursor Basin's objectives requires serious Zoomer skills.

Precursor Basin throws a gauntlet of driving challenges your way, from record-breaking races to ring-collecting and even some eco-friendly gardening. Ambitious trophy hunters will need to master the Zoomer to collect every last item.

Herd the Moles into their Holes

Start with a relatively straightforward task: guiding lost moles back to their burrows. Simply use the Zoomer to nudge them towards their homes. Utilize the Zoomer's hop for sharp turns to keep them in your sights. Once four moles are safely tucked away, return to the Geologist in Rock Village for a Power Cell reward. But why stop there? Let's clean up the rest of this area first!

Catch the Flying Lurkers

These elusive creatures share the moles' habitat. Chase them down and ram them with the Zoomer. Their flight paths are tricky, so anticipate their turns and cut them off. The final Lurker drops another Power Cell.

Beat Record Time on the Gorge

Gorge Race TrackThe Gambler needs your help to beat the 45-second Gorge record. This short but intense race is near Precursor Basin's entrance (hug the right wall to find it).

Mastering this track involves utilizing Lurkers for extra jumps and strategically grabbing Blue Eco speed boosts. Navigate pillars, avoid Dark Eco crates, and execute a precise 180-degree turn at the pit. A skillful run can even net you a sub-40 second time and a trophy! Returning to the Gambler after a successful run rewards you with a Power Cell.

Get the Power Cell Over the Lake

This Power Cell requires precise driving and timing. Starting from the slope (familiar from the Lurker chase), navigate the narrow bridge and use hops to cross gaps between islands. A final series of hops leads to the coveted Power Cell.

Cure the Dark Eco Infected Plants

A welcome respite from intense driving, this task involves using Green Eco to cure infected plants. Drive quickly and efficiently to prevent regrowth. A Power Cell awaits your successful healing.

Navigate the Purple Precursor Rings

Navigate the Blue Precursor Rings

Blue Precursor Rings - PillarThe Blue Rings present a greater challenge. Key moments include a ring over the lake (use rocks for a boost), a tricky hop off a hill, and precise navigation around pillars near the end. Completing this challenge rewards you with a Power Cell.
