"To wookie or anyone who completed Jak and daxter"

I started playing the game and after 3 hours noticed i had completed the game by 40%. I played it over the weekend and after a total of nine hours play defeated the final boss. I went back to get the final few power cells. After two hours i had them all and unlocked the final door.....so to complete the game fully it took me only 11 hours. Well wookie i thught u said it took u 48 hours? How is this possible....i don't mean to offend u or suggestur lying but how did it take u that long....am i missing something?

Use the 'horizontal launch' jump to get across there easily.

Run forward, hold the crouch button (L1 or R1 by default) and press X.

That jump is pretty hard. I`ve only made it twice in about 50 attempts. The first time was just a very fluky jump, and the second was by doing a double jump, and then doing the diving crush thingy move to finish, and I just made it across.

The answer: X then X, then square.

i think i'm being really stupid here....but on the first island (can't remember the name) -not the tutorial one though...how do get to that head whhere you get two orbs for giving him the orbs.....
it's near to the place where you have to herd the cows
i try double jumping but i just can't get to it....
is it just me being spastic??

Yep, even ambushes. I think they keep resetting until you succeed and get the Power Cell.

Even Ambushes? Thats alright then! Thanks!

You can still get it! You can *always* get back to previous areas.

I`m only about 65% through, and I`m a little worried I`ve permanently missed a power cell.

In the marsh/bog area, there is one power cell labelled "survive the ambush". I never saw one, and I`ve been everywhere. I have all but one orb, and all the other power cells. Does the ambush occur when you have the last orb?

What I was worried is that during the moment when the Green Sage talks to you, I managed to get killed by a rat thing. I wondered if I was supposed to survive the conversation in order to get ambushed.

If I`ve missed it permanently, then please say so. However, if I can still get it, just tell me I can still get it, don`t tell me how. :-) (Unless the only solution is to start again)

Thanks for that...and that power cell u want.....get on the mine trains that go to spider cave jump off asthough u were going to spider cave. now look back behind u. u will notice the trains go round a kinda bit thats like a rock ice berg. Now enter spider cave. Get to the platform above thhe entrance and u should find some yellow ego. now rush back out of the cave jumping up the platforms to get out. as soon as u see the lava again press square. a bolt should home in on a box and out pops the cell. even if u can't see the box the bolt should hit it...hope this makes sence......c

Well, what can I say - it took me about 48 hours!

I played it solidly, but I didn't dash through it. I took time in some areas trying to get as many of the Precursor Orbs as possible - and still didn't get them all.

It took me a while to do some areas - I spent 2 nights trying to find out how to get into the Lurker Fort in Snowy Mountain, and spent a lot of time searching for one elusive Power Cell in the Volcanic Crater - which I never did find... it's the only one I missed!

You're obviously just better at 3D platformers than I am! :-)
