Uhhh... sorry people... I guess this whole thing just died...

The Ottsel Place is my website now, so if you want to check that out, it's a small apology for forgetting this old Wiki.

Jak X

This ain't no precursor legacy.

It's been one year scince Jak defeated Cyber Erol and the Dark Makers,(and jipped off the precursors! Or he didn't; it's a weird topic.)
Jak and Daxter, along with all their freinds from the last game, have recieved a mysterious invite to Kras City for the reading of Krew's will. Krew's will instructed Jak and hs\is friends to drink a toast to his passing, and, as it turns out, it is poisoned. To get the antidote, Jak and his friends have to race for Krew's team in the Kras City races and win the Kras City Grand Championship race.

Vehicles:
There are too many!

Weapons: (LEVEL ONE)
Peacemaker (destroys person in 1st place)
Submachine gun
Tracking Missiles
Grenades
Super Nova (destroys all racers in front of you. LOVE IT!)
Sheild
Static Mines
Gun Turret

Jak 3

Haven City cast out their hero...

After Jak saves Haven City from the metal head menace, Count Veger banishes him to the Wasteland, but not without a little venom from the Freedom Leauge. (GO ASHELIN!) Apparently, the last surviving Metal Heads have attacked the City, and the KG have a new leader...

And, of course, they all blame Jak. No love for the hero.

Daxter, his loyal ottsel friend, and Pecker, the monkey/bird that interprets the blind soothsayer, Onin, stay behind to help their freind. Ashelin has given Jak a beacon with the words "Someone will find you;...I promise." After a couple of really neat flashbacks, Jak, Daxter, and Pecker pass out IN THAT DIRECT ORDER.

The two years between the games...

Finally, NaughtyDog comes out with a game outlining Daxter's heroics in those two years before he saved Jak. Or... was it heroics?

The anger of our hero builds.....

When we last left Jak and Daxter, they had defeated Gol and Maia and discovered something mysterious... leaving space for a sequel.

The precursor artifact that they had found was a Rift Gate and a strange vehicle that was near it. Jak and Daxter have moved the gate (HOW??? Dunno.) to Samos's Hut, where the charachters are going to test it out. Jak is mute (for the moment..).

Keira wonders how to activate the Rift Rider when Jak presses a large, shiny red button (an artifact known as the Heart of Mar) and the rift gate and rider activate. Keira points out that there are preset coordinates...

The rift gate opens, and a massive monster pokes his head out!

"At last!" he roars as hordes of flying monsters pour out of the rift,"The last Rift Gate has been opened!"

"Do something, Jak!" Daxter squealed.

"You cannot hide from me, boy!" The monster declares. Jak punches the big red button again, and the Rift Rider shoots forward! They are heading straight towards the monster...

And pass through it like smoke. Hurtling through the vortex at breakneck speed, the Rift Rider is out of our charachter's control. As Daxter squeals tha he wants off this thing, the Rift Rider breaks, separating Jak and Daxter from Samos and Keira!

"Find yourself, Jak!" Samos calls before Jak and Daxter exit the rift.
-----------------------------------
A great flash and a meteor-like trail of purple flames announce Jak and Daxter's exit of the rift gate. But... where are they? The tall palms and Samos's hut are gone, replaced by ramps, walls, and running citizens. Only a few figures are coming towars them. They all have guns.

Seeing danger (and potential threat to his person), Daxter hightails it out of there. You can read what he does afterward on the page Daxter.

"Ignore the rat," the lead figure says. "The Baron wants him." The figure motions with his pistol towards Jak.

Before Jak gets konked out, the lead figure smiles nastily, and says

"We've been waiting for you."

KONK!

Then, there is a slide that says TWO YEARS LATER... with audio of Daxter yelling, "Don't worry, Jak! I'll save you before you know it!"

Har-har, little ottsel. Jak couldn't awnswer because, well, he was unconcious.

And mute.
---------------------------------
We come back to Jak after two years in Baron Praxis's prison, after being the subject of Praxis and Erol's Dark Eco experiments. The Baron and Erol talk for a few minutes, Erol promises to kill Jak tonight, blah-blah-blah, ect. They leave.

Finally, you guessed it, Daxter shows up.

He says a couple of cheap cracks, and then really gets a good look at Jak.

"WOAH! Wha'd they do to YOU?" He asks.

Jak sorta looks up, then his head falls back again like "ooowwwww......"

Daxter has a hissy fit, ending in "PLEASE say something, JUST THIS ONCE!!!!" 'cos Jak's still a mute. And Jak says his first words.

"I'M GONNA KILL PRAXIS!" in a loud and angry snarl. Daxter tells him to chill while he breaks the chair locks. Jak starts to growl, louder and louder until....

"RAAAUUGH!"

Jak breaks his bonds! Daxter notices that instead of the yellow-and-green hairstyle and pale complexion Jak had a few moments before, his color scheme was now a dark purple. He had long claws, and dark eco zapped the platform alternatively with each of his steps towards Daxter. Instead of their normal blue, Jak's eyes were black and angry. It wasn't Jak anymore.

"JAK!" Daxter squeaked as the angered elf prepared to strike, "It's your old pal Daxter, remember?"

"RAUGHH-" Jak growled, raising his clawed hand, but stopped, "Daxter?" he muttered before fading back to regular Jak.

"Woah!" Daxter sez. "Remind me not to piss you off. C'mon, tall, dark and gruesome. Let's get outa here." He hops onto Jak's shoulder, and the next adventure begins!
------------------------------------------
OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of this game are to;

#1: Defeat/kill/overthrow Baron Praxis
#2: Find Samos and Keira
#3: Get back to Sandover Village

The first two objectives are defeated in the game. The third, which is suceeded by the two NPC's Young Jak and Samos, is the underlying objective, which means it's not a must. There is, of course, one other objective that gets big, fast.

#4: Defeat Metal Kor

That objective is suceeded right before objective #3, and directly after objective #1.

POWERS

Due to his dark eco experiments at the hands of Baron Praxis, Jak can now transform into Dark Jak, a dark image of his regular self. Dark Jak has a massive killzone radius.

ITEMS

The Morph-gun has four upgrades that you can get by completing missions for various people.

VEHICLES

You may need to 'borrow' the zoomers of some of Haven City's citizens to get places.

Jak and Daxter

AragornDunedain — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 14:08:20 CDT

The first game of a Legacy...

This is the first game in the Jak and Daxter series by NaughtyDog, the creators of Crash Bandicoot. The charachters are Jak, the yellow-and-green haired mute that is the main charachter, Daxter, the ottsel-turned elf/human/whatever-they-are that accompanies Jak,Samos Hagai, the green sage that is highly annoyed by the two, ( Daxter more than Jak,) Keira, Samos's daughter who can build anything and likes Jak more than Daxter, And, of corse, Gol and Maia, the two Dark Eco sages bent on world destruction. There are also many, many more NPC's that can give you the things you need to finish the game.

In the beginning, Daxter (human/elf/whatever-they-are. I'm going with Elf.) and Jak are on a calming boat trip to Misty Island while Samos goes "Blah-blah-blah" in the background. (He's actually a prety nice guy in the next games...) Jak and Dax spy on the Lurkers, and Dax keeps telling Jak 'Oh, why are we here?' and all that. Jak picks up something Dax trips over, and activates it. (His face sez '???????')

Did I mention that they were right on the rim of a huge thing of Dark Eco?

A Lurker who put 2 and 2 together comes to meet the elven duo. Dax panics, and Jak tosses (throws with force) the precursor artifact, and the Lurker goes up in smoke. Jak is hit by the kickback, and hits Dax, who falls into the dark eco. Jak looks over the edge, and is sure that his freind is finished.

He almost gets nailed by a speedng ottsel.

"Ouch!" That stung," it sez. "I told you we shouldn'ta come here, and if you'd listened..." The ottsel looks strangely at Jak, who is staring at him. "Whaaat?" Jak continues to stare, the ottsel looks at his hand, and then starts having a little ottsely painc attack, 'cos he's really Daxter!
-------------------------------
OBJECTIVES
The first main point of the game is to find the person who can turn Dax back, Gol. (Yes, the guy who's trying to kill them!) The second main point is to defeat Gol and Maia, the dark eco sages who want to either:

A: Rule the world, or
B: destroy it.

Either way, Jak's gotta stop them 'cos Daxter sure won't, and they wanna live to see Jak II.

ITEMS

Power Cells are a must-have to get to the 100% checkpoint (101 in all) and get from place to place in the game, like you have to get 20 to get past Fire Canyon, 46 to move the boulder from in front of Klaww's lair, and 75 to get past the Lava Tube.
There are three ways to get Power Cells.

#1: Buy it from an NPC for 90 Precursor orbs
#2: Buy it from an Oracle (Who will give predictions about games 2 and 3) for 120 Precursor Orbs
#3: Complete any mission for a NPC

Precursor Orbs are a type of currency in Jak's world. They are found everywhere, and can get you Power Cells if the price is right.

POWERS

Green Eco can replnish your health if you are hit.

Blue Eco can let you run faster and activate special Precursor artifacts.

Yellow Eco lets you shoot at far-ranged enemies from far away.

Red Eco increases the power of your attacks.

VEHICLES

Keira's a-graV Zoomer can get you places that you couldn't traverse on foot.

The Flut-flut can be a useful mode of transportation in swamps and ice.

Chatting!!!(About our Golden Boys of course.)
