      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.

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 beginning 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

                                City Race

                    Gold                         2:07:00

                    Silver                       2:12:00

                    Bronze                       2:17:00

       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

                    Gold                         2:12:00

                    Silver                       2:17:00

                    Bronze                       2:22:00

      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 should 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.
