Offical Jak & Daxter Hint and Tip Thread
 

I could really use some help from you guys. That last tip about the roll-jump I got was great. Now I am in the section of the game with the gambler, and herding the creatures underground. How do you catch those purple flying creatures? I chased htem for awhile, tried to cut them off etc...nothing worked. Eventually I gave up and one of them ran into me just producing a few of those green energy boosters. The rest are beyond me. Any help?

PS: What a great game!

You can't really cut them off. Memorize the route they take, and cut corners as much as possible to gain on them. It just takes some practice; there's no real trick to it.

Yep.. its like those egg stealer guys from Spyro Year of the Dragon.

There was no way to cut them off or get ahead of them, because when you did and turned to face them, they went the other way. You just had to try to cut corners to gain on them. Its a pain and I know I sweared a bunch of times at the game. I honestly don't know how kids have the patience for some of the games now. I know that I don't at times.

but I still play, because they are fun. and you get that whole mindset "I will conqure this game!"

Yeah, it took me awhile to take care of that area. Chasing those damn_purple things and flying through those hoops. I was rather miffed at times. Just keep chasing them and jump when you're near them. You'll get it.

If I was a kid still, it'd probably be a breeze. I remember how easy it was to beat games when I was 10, but now I guess I've gotten slower. :(

You definitely need the R1 + Jump manuever later on in the game. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get there.

I finished the game with 92%.
