II   Preface
   _______________



This is my first FAQ in English language. I hope you can forgive me my grammar
and spelling mistakes,  at least I hope It's not that bad as most of the other
FAQs around here ;)
If you have any questions or found some really bad mistakes mail me:

    faqs [at] gmx [dot] de

Help for hungry guidewriters ;)

If you think,  this FAQ helped you out, then  please be so  kind and insert the
following url in your browser an click on one of the ads there.

   http://schmutzschild.de/supporte.html

You can't  loose anything by doing so,  except half a minute of your time and I
get some tips  and write more guides!  Even little money  is money!  Thank you!
                                                                 ______________


I though about writing  a FAQ in English for a long time  and as I like JAK and
Daxter very much,  both the Game and the Characters,  I decided to write an FAQ
for this beautiful game. There have already been some complete FAQs and I don't
wnat to hurt  your eyes with my bad english in a full FAQ,  so I chose to write
something very helpfull,  for all of you trying to get  all 2000 Precurser Orbs
througout the Game.
There is  nothing special to earn,  if you collect all of them, except  you may
complete  the game for 100%. I think if you are after  all 2000 Precurser Orbs,
you already have or are trying to get all Powercells, so, its helps you for the
100% completition of the Game. But if you complete the Game 100% you won't earn
anything special, except that you know, that you beat Jak and Daxter - The Pre-
curser Lagacy 100 %.
So lets just get into it,  I assume, you already have collected  all the power-
cells, so I'm refering directions also to powercelllocations. This is no Power-
cell Guide, there is already one on GameFAQs. Check this FAQ or a complete Walk
throgh if you  have Problems  finding Powercells.  After that you collected all
Powercells, come Back.
Sometimes it's hard to explain where some Precurser Orbs are located, but I try
my best :) Let's get it on

 (*) BigBoyScout sent me the following mail concerning this Blue Eco Container:

 >I tried about  25-30 times  using just  the  Blue Eco  by the burning boulder
 because it was a straight shot. I finally accomplished  opening the  Container
 with just that one Blue Eco by using three rolling jumps and a quick extension
 of Jak by hitting the "square"  button.<

Sounds possible,  but I had no time to confirm this by now, feel free to try of
course!
Cool, good to experience, that there are still  people playing this nice little
game, so this FAQ is not for nothing ...

 (*) Addition #2 by Karl

 >I have recently been using your FAQ to go back and collect everything in this
  great game, and in Rock Village,  I also found it possible to get the orbs in
  the Precursor Orb container with only one Blue Eco.  As a matter of fact, I
  got it with one try.  Picked up the Eco mid-way through a roll-jump, did
  another three roll-jumps and I had it with about a second of time to spare.

So you see, it's possible, just try! Thanks for pointing that out Karl. Readers
like you are the best readers.

(*) Some addition by falconesque and according to this topic a hard to find orb
      http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=516509&topic=50189542

 > Yellow eco helps reach this lone orb (annotation by selmiak: the top one of
   the 6 is meant), but you need not wait until the yellow eco vents are opened
   (Snow Mountain, Power Cell 1). Blast the nearby rock to uncover the vent,
   power up with yellow eco, and climb the mushrooms to the top of the wooden
   scaffold. Double-jump (X + X) toward the orb, fire off a shot of yellow eco
   (square), and spin kick (O) to reach the orb. The yellow eco keeps your

IV    FAQs

In this Section I will cover  all the Questions  neccessary and relating to the
Orbs in Jak and Daxter and the Precurser Legacy.
Also Questions sent to me per email that are not already answered in this Guide
will be posted here.  (Only if you want to,  of course, if not,  you better not
ask...nah, just kidding)

_______________________________________________________________________________

    Question:
   ____________

How many Orbs are in the Game?

    Answer:
   ____________

There are 2000 Orbs in Jak and Daxter and the Precurser Legacy!

_______________________________________________________________________________

    Question:
   ____________

Do I need to collect all the Orbs to beat this Game?

    Answer:
   ____________

No, theoretically it would be possible  to complete the Game without collecting
a single Precurser Orb.
But that on the other Hand seems impossible, for further details look at Shiros
No Precurser Orb Challenge Guide also posted at gamefaqs.com.

_______________________________________________________________________________


    Question:
   ____________

What is Orb collecting good for then?

    Answer:
   ____________

You get easy  Power cells  for trading them  for Precurser Orbs  with different
persons throughout the game.
You also need all 2000 Orbs when you want to complete the game 100%. If you are
just missing one single Orbs you can only achieve a maximum of 99%.

_______________________________________________________________________________

    Question:
   ____________

What is a Orb?

    Answer:
   ____________

It has the same Number of letters als the word egg. Coincidence? I don't know!
Actually in this Game it is some kind of currency with which you  can buy Power
cells, which are needed to proceed in the Game.

_______________________________________________________________________________

    Question:
   ____________

Why is Jak not talking?

    Answer:
   ____________

This has nothing  to do with the Orbs but  actually he can Speak,  or at least
scream when falling down from high heights.
The Theories why he's not talking go from a childhood trauma,  over Jak suffer-
ing from SHS, over Daxter just being too fast, or some other stuff.

_______________________________________________________________________________

    Question:
   ____________

What is SHS?

    Answer:
   ____________

SHS ist the Silent Hero Syndrome as known from Zelda or GTA III.

and there you go. Well, some other stupid talk by me is included too of course.


Version 1.10    17.04.2005
------------

Just opened the Faqs Section. You got a question about this Faq, that isn't an-
swered  in the FAQ (which I highly doubt...)  go ahead and  drop me a line, if
your question is good, I can post it in the  FAQ Section of the FAQ and credit
you there. Only if you want to,  of course,  some guys rather  stay annonymous
