      To clear up what these secrets are: Toggle Jak�s Goatee turns Jak�s Goatee on/off. 

Mirror World reverses everything in the game, for example if something is to your left, in Mirror 

World it will be on your right. Big Head and Small Head Mode do what their names imply, making 

Jak�s head big and small respectively. Scrap Books show drawings of the characters and 

different areas. Scene Players allow you to view any cutscenes from a particular part of the 

game. 
	
      You can also unlock extra gun courses for the Peace Maker and Vulcan Barrel. As for 

the Reverse Races, basically you can go around the tracks the other way. Level Select is 

exactly what its name suggests. You get to start a new game from any mission. 
	
      Unlimited Ammo allows you to continue shooting even after your ammo runs out. 

Unlimited Dark Jak lets you keep using Dark Jak. Note: If you run out of Dark Eco, you will 

change back, but you will be able to change back immediately. Invulnerability makes you 

invincible. However, you can still die if you fall off a cliff, or get blown up while you are in a 

turret. If you fall off a high cliff and land on a platform, you can still lose one piece of health. The 

last secret is Hero Mode, which allows you to start a new game with all of the gun mods. Hero 

Mode is much harder than normal mode and Metal Heads always drop their gems.
	
      The Scrap Books, Scene Player, Level Select, and Hero Mode can all be accessed 

on the Secrets menu on the Title Screen.
	
      Now, with all that being said, happy egg hunting.

94) On the turret of a destroyed tank, near the tower, is the very last orb.

Total:  94 Precursor Orbs 

                                                         Underground Missions
	
      Around the city, there are screens with question marks on them. As you progress 

through the game, some of them occasionally change into a green Underground symbol, on a 

purple background. If you go up to one and press Triangle to talk to them, you get an 

Underground mission. If you successfully complete a mission, you are rewarded with three 

Precursor Orbs. On the map, the missions show up as a green-yellow symbol that looks like a 

triangle with dot over it. There are three kinds of missions; Ring Challenges, Scavenger Hunts, 

and random Special Missions.

__________________________________________________________________________

Ring Challenges (3 total)

      A ring challenge is a race of sorts. You have to go through purple rings before you 

run out of time. If you do run out of time, you fail the mission. Kind of like the blue and purple 

Precursor Ring Challenges in the prequel. Every time you hit a ring you have a certain amount 

of time to get to the next ring. 

Ring Challenge 1

      This challenge appears after you find the valve at the Pumping Station. It is located in 

the middle of the road connecting the two sections of the slums. The path runs south, around 

the small building in the center of the road, and heads back north. 

Ring Challenge 2

      This one appears after you catch the scouts in Haven Forest, and is found at the 

screen to the left of the Hip Hog Saloon. This race runs north past the statue of Mar, past the 

palace, through the Eastern Bazaar, and north through the Industrial sector. In the section of the 

race situated in the Eastern Bazaar, you have to use the jetboard. When you get to the 

Industrial sector, get back onto a zoomer to make things easy. 

Ring Challenge 3

      This appears after you get the Life Seed at Dead Town. You find this one at the 

same place as Ring Challenge 1. Be careful not to blow up your vehicle or start the alarm, or 

you will be slowed down a lot, as most of the rings are in the opposite lane of traffic. When you 

get to the Industrial sector, you have to be good at hopping with a zoomer to get over a lot of 

the gaps. 

__________________________________________________________________________

Scavenger Hunts (15 total)

      In a scavenger hunt, you are shown an image of an orb somewhere in the city. You 

are allotted a certain amount of time and if you can find it within the time limit you get 3 

Precursor Orbs. There is one cheat that works occasionally. If you pick up the orb a split 

second after the timer hits zero, you will fail the challenge but get 3 Precursor Orbs allowing a 

possible total of 289+ orbs. 

Scavenger Hunt 1

      The first orb find is located east of the Fortress and appears after you beat the 

Scatter Gun Course. The orb is in the trench that runs west to east to the right of where the 

screen is. 

Scavenger Hunt 2

      This is located under a ramp in the west section of the Industrial area, and appears 

after you protect Sig at the pumping station. Go up the ramp, take a left, take the next right, and 

take the next left. Go straight and you will find the orb. 

Scavenger Hunt 3

      This challenge is located in the far eastern side of the port, at the base of the bridge 

leading to a tower, and is revealed after you beat the Blaster Gun Course. The orb is near one 

of the Baron�s loudspeakers right before the Yellow Security Wall at the central exit of the port. 

Scavenger Hunt 4

      The one is in the water slums, near the Pumping Station. This shows up after you find 

the Pumping Station Patrol. The orb is directly below the bridge you are standing on, in the 

water. A quick and simple task.

Scavenger Hunt 5

      The screen for this challenge is in the Southern Gardens, near the path to the Port. It 

shows up after you kill the Metal Head Scouts in Haven Forest. The orb is located behind a pile 

of boulders opposite the Yakow paddock. Use a zoomer to get there before time runs out.

Scavenger Hunt 6

      This one is found at the south of the Eastern Bazaar, west of Onin�s tent. The 

challenge shows up after you intercept the tanker. The orb is in the northwest of the square 

below the tanker. Use the jetboard to get to the spot.  

Scavenger Hunt 7

      Found in the northeast of the Northern Gardens is another challenge, that shows up 

after you kill 30 camouflage Metal Heads in Haven Forest. The orb is near a water turret near 

the Haven Forest exit. Try to have a zoomer ready. The time limit is cramped (you have 12 or 

so seconds), so try to pick up the orb while in the zoomer. 

Scavenger Hunt 8

      This challenge is located near the exit into the industrial area from the eastern bazaar 

and appears after you destroy the Baron�s transport ship at the Drill Platform. This orb is found 

right next to the screen for mission 11. Use a zoomer and go up the raised road. There should 

be a little side exit to the left. Exit and turn into Dark Jak (or if you have it, Dark Giant) and 

punch your way to the orb. 

Scavenger Hunt 9

      This screen is northeast of the smaller tunnel the canal flows through. You can play 

this challenge after you win the Class 3 Race. The orb is close to the bridge nearest  the 

stadium. Use the jetboard to get to it. An easy challenge.                                              

Scavenger Hunt 10

      The challenge is to the south of the Stadium, at the south of the North Town District, 

and is playable after you race Erol to the Stadium. The orb is on the small ramp leading to the 

elevator to the Palace Tower. Use a zoomer to get there before the timer hits zero. 

Scavenger Hunt 11

      This one is found in the southeast of the industrial sector, and you can try the 

challenge after you race Erol to the Stadium. Go up the ramp on a zoomer and jump to the left. 

Jump out of the zoomer. The orb is in the corner. Do you need to be good at hopping on a 

zoomer to get this one? Not necessarily. If you aren�t, jump out of the zoomer at the height of 

your jump. Your momentum should get you to the other walkway. Walk to the orb in the corner.

Scavenger Hunt 12

      Another challenge is found in the south of the Western Bazaar, and reveals itself 

after you protect Samos from the Krimzon Guards in Haven Forest. The Western Bazaar is 

divided into squares. The orb is in the bottom left corner of the square one left and two up from 

your square. Note that you cannot try this mission until after you finish Special Missions 2 & 3.

Scavenger Hunt 13

      Near the Green Security Wall in the Slums area is another challenge, activated when 

you win Class 1 Race. The orb is northwest of the canal to the Stadium. Enter the North Town 

District and when you enter the first big area, enter with a sharp turn close to the edge of the 

last set of buildings to your right. Go straight and the orb is waiting for you.

Scavenger Hunt 14

      This one is on the path north of the palace, and is revealed after you beat the game. The 

orb is near the torch to the left of the entrance to the Tomb of Mar. You will have to fly full 

speed at the torch and bail out at the last second. Your momentum will take you the torch, and 

you just have to pick up the orb.


Scavenger Hunt 15

      The last scavenger hunt. Finally. You people have no idea how boring writing a 

walkthrough is. Anyway, you can find the screen in the southwest section of the North Town 

District. Follow the canal, and the orb is on a ramp next to the second corner you come to.

Special Missions (9 total)

      Special Missions are random missions where you are given a certain task. If you can 

complete it, you get 3 Precursor Orbs.

Special Mission 1

      This screen is located near the first bridge spanning over the smaller tunnel the canal runs 

through. This is activated after you win the Jetboard Challenge Keira gives you. You need to 

collect 20 Green Homing Beacons in less than 2 minutes. There is plenty of time, and in a 

zoomer you should be able to collect them all with 10 or 20 seconds on the clock. Note that 

some are high above the water.

Special Mission 2

      This is located in the south of the Western Bazaar, and you can play it after you find the 

three Precursor Artifacts in the Mountain Temple. You need to get to the Underground Hideout 

from where you are in less than 90 seconds. Go up the Western Bazaar, around the Palace, 

through the road over the Eastern Bazaar, through the Industrial section, and into the Slums. 

Very tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it shouldn't be hard.

Special Mission 3

      This one is at the same place as Special #2, and you can play it after you rescue 3 Lurkers 

for Brutter. This challenge is exactly like the mission where you Shuttle Underground Fighters 

for Torn. As long as you don't sustain too much damage, this should be as easy as pie. 

Special Mission 4

      The screen is found to the north of the section of the North Town District directly north of 

the Palace. After you destroy the 5 Hellcat Cruisers, this mission becomes available. Your task 

is to gather 50 Green Eco sparks (like the ones in the prequel). If you have Invulnerability, use 

the Jetboard throughout the mission. If not, go on foot and use the Jetboard whenever possible. 

However, the mission is bugged. For some reason, the Green Eco sparks take some time to be 

absorbed. And if that wasn't odd enough, half of the Green Eco sparks don't even show up on 

the map. Conveniently, the eco is always on the edge of walkways.

Special Mission 5

      At the south of the Western Bazaar, this screen appears after you rescue another 6 

Lurkers for Brutter. This is another Blast Bot mission, this time much easier. The Blast Bots are 

simply terrorizing the city and not attacking a certain place, so there is no time. The strategy I 

used was to get on a zoomer, fly towards the Blast Bot, bail out at the last second, and shoot it 

to death with the Vulcan. Repeat for the other two Blast Bots, and you will be rewarded with 3 

Precursor Orbs.

Special Mission 6

      In the northeast area of the Northern Gardens is yet another challenge, one that appears 

after you have defeated Metal Kor at the Metal Head Nest. Try not to have Dark Jak at this 

point. If you do have Dark Jak, use it up. If you have unlocked Unlimited Dark Jak, turn it off. 

This mission is exactly like the Green Eco mission. This time you need to collect 30 Dark Eco 

Sparks. As long as you do not have Dark Jak, the sparks will be attracted to you. Use the 

Jetboard, look at the map to find the Dark Eco Sparks, and you should finish with approximately 

20 seconds to spare.

Special Mission 7

      The screen is at the dead end road to the left of the main exit out of the Stadium sector, 

and appears after you complete Keira's Jetboard Challenge. This screen allows you to replay 

any of the Stadium events and the Reverse Races.

Special Mission 8

      This one is to the left of the Hip Hog Saloon, now owned by Daxter, and is available after 

you race Erol to the Stadium. See under City Race.

Special Mission 9

      This last one is found at the same place as Scavenger Hunt 3. After you win the Class 1 

Race, see under Port Race.

                                                               Gun Courses

      Including the Scatter Gun Course and Blaster Gun Course, there are two other gun courses 

you can unlock in the Secrets menu, the Vulcan Barrel Gun Course, and the Peace Maker Gun 

Course. In each gun course, you can win a gold, silver, or bronze medal. For each medal you 

earn, you get three Precursor Orbs. The amount of Precursor Orbs you can win for each course 

is 9. If you get Bronze, you will have three Orbs. If you get Silver, you will have six Orbs. And if 

you win Gold, you will accumulate nine Orbs total. To get the points to earn the medals, you 

need to shoot targets. There are 5 kinds of targets. 

1. Regular. 

      Regular targets take one hit to kill, and the quicker you kill them, the more points you get.

2. Tough.

      Tough targets take two hits to kill, and the quicker you kill them, the more points you get.

3. Strong.

      Strong targets can only be destroyed by the Peace Maker.

4. Golden.

      Golden targets take one hit, but give you more points. If you shoot certain targets in a 

certain amount of time, these show up.

5. Civilian.

      Civilian targets are to be avoided altogether. If you hit them, you lose points.

                                                           Scatter Gun Course 

                                                    Gold                            12000

                                                    Silver                          10000

                                                    Bronze                          8000

      This course requires practice. I would aim for Gold after you get the Scatter upgrade and 

Unlimited Ammo cheat. 

                                                            Blaster Gun Course

                                                     Gold                           13000

                                                     Silver                         11000              

                                                     Bronze                         9000               

This course has a secret to it. Just keep doing the 360 Aerial Rapid Fire move(X+O+R1) and 

you will automatically aim at the targets and not the civilians. Try to have the ammo upgrade.

                                                       Vulcan Barrel Gun Course

                                                     Gold                          15000

                                                     Silver                        13000

                                                     Bronze                      11000

      You should do this course after you have the Unlimited Ammo cheat. Once you have 

Unlimited Ammo, well, let her rip. If not, try to shoot in small bursts, and save ammunition for the 

final leg of the course, because a lot of Golden targets appear for a short amount of time.

                                                      Peace Maker Gun Course

                                                     Gold                         15000

                                                     Silver                        13000

                                                     Bronze                     11000

      The secret to the Peace Maker course is to try to take out as many targets as possible in 

each shot. The sheer power emanating from the Peace Maker allows you to achieve the Gold 

record very easily. 

                                                            Jetboard Course

      The Jetboard challenge initially given to you by Keira is still available through Special 

Mission 7. You can return to the course and obtain up to nine Precursor Orbs.

                                                     Gold                     120000

                                                     Silver                     90000

                                                     Bronze                   50000

      To get Silver and Bronze, you need to get as much airtime as possible and put together all 

those tricks for 7000+ point combos. As for Gold, all I can say is, Button Bash!


                                                             Stadium Races

                                                              Class 1 Race

                                                      Gold                      2:13:00

                                                      Silver                    2:18:00

                                                      Bronze                  2:22:00

      There are two shortcuts you need to take advantage of every lap, one right at the begining 

and another near the end. If you use these every lap, you have a chance at winning Gold. 

                                                               Class 2 Race 

                                                     Gold                     2:10:00

                                                     Silver                   2:15:00

                                                     Bronze                 2:20:00

      The Class 2 Race has one shortcut in the tunnel section. Don't take it, or you will probably 

be damaged. In this race you need to rely on turbos more than shortcuts.

                                                               Class 3 Race

                                                     Gold                     2:19:00

                                                     Silver                   2:24:00

                                                     Bronze                 2:29:00

      The Class 3 Race also has a shortcut at the tunnel section. Hop, pull the left analog stick 

back and use a turbo to get over the pit. Note that some of the other racers will attempt this as 

well. Some will die, but for safety reasons, try to be far ahead when you make the jump. Use 

this every lap, but be careful. 

                                                            Reverse Races

                                                           Class 1 Reverse 

                                                     Gold                      2:20:00

                                                     Silver                    2:25:00
 
                                                     Bronze                  2:30:00

      This one is the only reverse track that has shortcuts. Use them well and use many turbos. 

No other advice here, as I haven't done these myself. 

                                                           Class 2 Reverse

                                                     Gold                     2:25:00

                                                     Silver                  2:30:00

                                                     Bronze                 2:35:00

      This is much harder, there are no shortcuts and you need to take every turn perfectly. 

                                                           Class 3 Reverse

                                                    Gold                     2:48:00

                                                    Silver                   2:53:00

                                                    Bronze                 2:58:00

      You just need skill. This is, undeniably, the hardest reverse race. 

                                                        Haven City Races

                                                    Gold                     2:07:00

The City Race is the same race as when you race Erol to the Stadium, except that your 

opponent is much tougher. You have to hit all of the rings, and make it within the time limit to get 

the Precursor Orbs.

                                                                Port Race

                                                    Silver                  2:17:00

      The Port Race is much easier. You don't need to get all of the accelerator rings and the 

opponent is not to be seen for the duration of the race. However, you can fail if you fall into the 

water. Getting Gold should be a breeze. 

                                                                Onin Game

      You can get 3 Precursor Orb by returning and getting 1000 points in the Onin Game. To get 

this high score, you shoudl try to make combos by clearing all of one symbol. 

                                                                      Tips

      After you have beaten the game, some of the areas require special entrances to get to. 

      To get to the area of the Prison Fortress where you first go through, you need to work your 

way through the Fortress like when you saved your friends at the Fortress. 

      To get to the Strip Mine, you need to go through the warp gate in the cell block room in the 

Fortress. 

      To get to the Dig Site and Weapons Factory, you need to go to the Pumping Station. In the 

north area, there is a rail to a small island and another rail to a passageway. Follow the path to 

the landing site, where you can go back to Haven City, go to the Dig Site, or go to the Weapons 

Factory.

      The only area you can�t access after you defeat Metal Kor is the Metal Head Nest, so you 

need to get all 7 orbs the first time through.

                                                                   Cheats

      There is one cheat that occasionally works. If you pick up the orb a split second after the 

timer hits zero, you will fail the challenge but get 3 Precursor Orbs allowing a possible total of 

289+ orbs.
