Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players control Jak, a banished hero, as he navigates a dangerous wasteland and warring cities. Players will undertake various missions, battling enemies and uncovering ancient mysteries to fulfill their destiny.
Story
THE STORY SO FAR...
"I have spent my life searching for the answers that my father and my father's fathers failed to find. Who were the Precursors? Why did they create the vast monoliths that litter our planet? How did they harness Eco, the life energy of the world? What was their purpose? And why did they vanish? I have asked the plants, but they do not remember. I have asked the rocks, but the rocks do not recall. Every bone in my body tells me that the answers rest on the shoulders of a young boy..."
Samos the Sage
One year has passed since Jak and Daxter saved Haven City from Kor and the Metal Head menace. Yet, the city still finds itself embroiled in chaos as three separate groups fight for control of its streets. The people of Haven City have grown distrustful of Jak and his mysterious dark powers.
As rumors spread of his ties with Krew and Kor, the populace targets Jak as the cause for its current unrest. When the palace is destroyed by a surprise Metal Head attack, even Ashelin and Samos cannot protect Jak. The High Council's power broker, Count Veger, banishes Jak for life to the Wasteland outside the city's protective walls.
Flown to the harsh, desolate desert and dropped off to fend for himself, he discovers that Daxter and Pecker have loyally followed him into exile. With Daxter and Pecker at his side, the three begin their next adventure as they wander the vast Wasteland and unwittingly set off a series of events that will propel them headfirst toward their ultimate destiny.
LOCATIONS
SPARGUS CITY
After he is banished from Haven City by Count Veger, Spargus City becomes Jak's new home. This desert oasis is inhabited by the forgotten ones—Haven City's refuse—who, like Jak, were thrown out and left to die. Its walls protect the populace from the lethal elements of the Wasteland.
Unlike Haven City, this primitive community is free of crime and corruption thanks, in part, to Damas, the tough but fair King of Spargus City. Spargus also possesses a gladiator-style Arena where warriors hone their skills, and newcomers, in hopes of gaining admission to Spargus, are tested.
THE WASTELAND
No one can survive the harsh desert environment of the Vast Wasteland for extended periods of time. In addition to the intense, blistering heat, fierce sand storms constantly rage across its dunes, which literally tear the flesh from the bones of those foolish enough to be caught unprepared.
To make matters worse, desperate Marauders roam the Wasteland's plains in off-road vehicles, looking to steal and salvage anything they can from the unsuspecting.
HAVEN CITY
Haven City has changed dramatically since Jak saw it last. Under constant attack from two warring factions—an army of powerful KG Deathbots and a large group of vicious Metal Head creatures—Samos, Torn, Ashelin and the Freedom League are putting forth their best efforts to stem the tide.
If Jak ever does make it back to Haven City, it will be more hostile and dangerous than ever before.
MISSIONS
Accomplishing missions and tasks is the key to survival, redemption, and ultimately, fulfilling your destiny. Unfortunately, each mission becomes more dangerous as Jak progresses, and just about everyone you meet will need you to do something for him or her.
MISSION STRUCTURE
As you progress through the game, new icons will appear on the Map indicating important destinations. Each destination generally has someone waiting for you to send you out on a mission. It's possible to have multiple icons on the Map at one time, allowing you to choose which mission to undertake.
