Precursor Orb Collectibles

Lore & Background

Precursor Orbs are the setting's currency in *Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy*. They can be traded for Power Cells with villagers or Precursor statues. Power Cells are the game's primary collectible, earned by completing tasks, defeating bosses, or finding them in the environment. Power Cells power the A-GraV Zoomer, which is used to traverse long passes that link certain areas together. Each area includes seven Scout Flies, and a Power Cell is rewarded when all Scout Flies in an area are collected. Some of the various missions that reward Power Cells include platforming challenges (such as reaching a high structure), minigames (such as fishing), races, and fetch quests. The player's actions in completing tasks have persistent effects, and do not reset upon departing mid-task.

In Their Own Story

Jak and Daxter gather Power Cells throughout their journey to fuel the Zoomer's heat shield, allowing them to cross Fire Canyon and reach Rock Village. They collect more Power Cells to activate a levitation machine to remove a massive boulder blocking the path to Klaww, whom they defeat. After Gol and Maia are destroyed, the group discovers a massive Precursor Door requiring 100 Power Cells to open. If Jak and Daxter have collected all 100, the door opens, revealing a dazzling light, leaving the group in awe of its mysterious significance.
