Be careful orthe spin trick will end with you in the water where you will bekilled. This may require a few attempts.

Hint: Shortcut:
When you have to collect the piece of the seal fromthe slums (in the mission you get from the Lurker) and are ambushedby the Krimson Guards, run to the edge just by a corner near theguards. Use a roll jump to jump the gap and avoid the guards andgun turrets. If you are fast, you can get through without a singlehit, though this may require a few attempts.

Hint: Avoiding Krimson Guards:
When on foot in the city and being chased by guards,get out of sight and press the Left Analog-stick towardsa wall. You will get stealthy until the panic is over.

When you are being chased by the Krimson Guard, go to the highwaything near Onin's tent. Stay there until the alarm shuts off.Only the Hell Cats and Zoomers can get up there easily, so youcan take them down easier.

If you are being chased by the Krimson Guard, go to the area wherethe weapons training place and Krew is located. Get into a vehicle(not controlled by the Krimson Guard) and fly on top of the water.Go close to the edge, where there should be a sort of wall. Youmust be in high mode to get up and stay close to the wall untilthe alert is over.

When you are being chased by the Krimson Guard, quickly go tothe water area and go under a house. When the map in the cornerstops blinking red and the chase music stops, you are safe andthey will no longer be chasing you.

When you are in Haven City, jump on a Krimzon Guard'shead by pressing X(2). Do not press Circle or Squareor the alarm will go off. When you are on the guard's head, hewill try to swat you with his gun.

Hint: Drive Krimson Guard vehicle withoutgetting in red alert:
Borrow a Krimson Guard vehicle and get in "redalert". Put the vehicle in a location that you will remember(such as close to where you are hiding). Then, hide (try goingunder a bridge or go in stealth mode. When the "red alert"is over, go to where you parked the vehicle and jump in. Therewill be no red alert.

Hint: Defeating the Baron:
When fighting the Baron for the first time, he willbe in a shielded ship attacking you. At first he will fire instraight lines at you. Dodge these. After three shots, his shieldwill break. Shoot him with your Blaster. Repeat until one thirdof his health is gone, then get out of the way as he charges tothe next area. Follow him and reload with the ammo in nearby crates.This time he will fire missiles at you, which follow where yourun. Keep running to avoid these. After two missile attacks, fireat him. Repeat until another one third of his health is gone.Then, follow him to the last area. His shield is now gone; firewhen you can. He will send fiery tornadoes at you. Shoot him untilhe runs away.

When fighting the Baron in Mar's Tomb, pull out the Scatter gunand shoot the mech spiders that he sends at you. When all of themare gone, he will fire bombs at you. Knock them back at him witha spin attack. Aim carefully to hit him. Four bombs will takeone third of his health away. He will send more spiders at you.Hide behind the pillars to avoid being shot by the Baron. Knockfour more bombs his way. He will get the Precursor Stone. Again,stay behind the pillars to avoid him. He will take out sectionsof the walkway and shoot only two bombs. If you can turn intoDark Jak, do so and use a Dark Bomb to finish him. Otherwise,knock the bombs into him. However aiming will be much harder now;act fast and the battle will be yours.

Note: When you defeat Baron Praxis (in the Tomb of Mar) and leaveMar's tomb, you will start to see yellow Krimson Guards. The onlydifference is that they take more hits to kill.

Hint: Defeating the three Blast Bots:
When Samos sends you to destroy the three Krimson BlastBots, get a Zoomer Bike (the ones that are very fast). Go to aBlast Bot. When you see one, change to the high hover zone. Whenyou are directly in front of it, press Triangle. The bikeshould crash into the Blast Bot and explode. Then, take out yourVulcan Fury and get directly behind it so it cannot hit you. Donot touch it. Shoot it until you hear a beeping noise. When youdo, run away as fast as possible. The Blast Bot will explode.Repeat this with the remaining ones. If you run out of ammunition,use the blaster.

Hint: Defeating Krew:
When you first start, kill all of the "clones"of Krew (they only do 1 damage). First, go around in a circleabout three times then turn around and shoot them. If they gettoo close, keep going around. After you kill all the clones, Krewhe will come after you on his flying chair and try to shoot you.Take out your Peace Maker and charge a shot up. When he comesaround, shoot him a couple of times with the Peace Maker. He willgo off in the distance. Repeat this as many times as needed todefeat Krew. Note: After you shoot Krew with the Peace Maker,get ammo out of the boxes.

Hint: Defeating Metal Heads:
If there are more than one Metal Heads or enemies,double jump and kick in the air. Then, shoot to send out a numberof shots. Note: This only works with the gun with the laser pointerin front.

Hint: Defeating Metal Kor:
Begin by taking out your blaster and kill all the enemies.Then, shoot him repeatedly until more Metal Heads appear. Repeatthis as many times as needed until he gets in the red. When hegets in the red, he will jump off the string things and will beon the ground. Avoid him until he shoots three lasers at you.He should now be on the other side of you. Take out the PeaceMaker and shoot him. Repeat this as many times needed to defeatthe Metal Head leader and complete the game.

When the battle starts, take out your Vulcan gun and fire at theLeader until he charges a shot. Get out of the way. Switch toyour Blaster and run around the area, firing at the Leader occasionally.Take out the bugs if they get too close; otherwise stay away fromthem. When you get to phase two (one third of his health is gone),continue firing at him until the flying Metal Heads approach you.If you have enough Eco, turn into Dark Jak. Take some of the lesserenemies then do a Dark Blast close to the Leader (takes abouthalf a health bar). Repeat the earlier process until the Leaderstarts running around. Continue running until his blasts are comingfrom the side instead of behind. Turn and blast him. Repeat towin.

When you are battling Metal Kor at the end of the game, collectall the ammunition needed. If there is not enough, keep jumpingthrough the hole in the middle of the room. Behind you is a ledgeto the very left of the cliff. It may be difficult to get on,but when you get to the top face Metal Kor with the Blaster weapon.Keep shooting him until his health bar is in the yellow. He willthen send out flying Metalheads. They will not hurt you. Keepshooting them until you get his health bar to the red and he willbreak out and fly on his own. Wait until you have enough roomto shoot him. He will keep coming up and it will appear as ifhe is biting the cliff. Do not go to the edge of the cliff orhe will be able to shoot you with blasts of Dark Eco. Keep shootinghim until he dies.

Use the following trick to easily kill the Metal Heads when fightingMetal Kor. When you get Metal Kor (Metal Head leader) to yellowhealth, little flying Metal Heads appear and fight until you getKor's health in the red. When a little crawling Metal Head comesto attack, punch the crawler. Then, do the spin shot with theBlaster to hit it.

Hint: Winning Onin's Shape Game easily:
Just as soon as Onin throws a combination of shapes,(circle, square, x, triangle), quickly pause game play. Then,take as long as desired to memorize the shapes. This will alsowork with all games that require you to hit multiple buttons.

Hint: More ammunition:
To get more ammo for any of your guns without gettingcaught, do the following. Make sure you are in a place where thereare Krimzon Guards (for example, Haven City). Steal a zoomer fromanyone. Accelerate (press X) at a Krimzon Guard, and whenit is about to hit him, get off (press Triangle). Keepon doing this about four to five times to get ammo.

To refill your ammo at any time during gameplay, go to Haven Cityand go to the Gun Course. It is in the Port; look for a Zoomerparked outside a door. Go inside to the first room where thereare several Krimzon Guard Crates. Smash them to find an assortmentof ammo. You rarely (if at all) will find Peace Maker ammo. Ifyou do not max out your ammo in one shot. Go outside, go to theHip Hog Saloon, return to the Gun Course, and the Krimzon GuardCrates should have regenerated.

Hint: Peace Maker:
After you escort the three men down in the sewer, therewill be a icon on your radar. It will take you to the Gun course.There will be a light shining on a box.

When you break open the Krimson Guard crates,some of them will have Scatter Gun ammunition in side. You canalso get some Metal Head Skull Gems.

Hint: Unlimited Skullgems:
After you have collected 200 Precursor Orbs, you canstart a new game in hero mode. In hero mode, you can get unlimitedSkullgems from Metal Heads. Kill the Metal Heads, take their Skullgems,and after you die or exit, re-enter the level and meet the sameMetal Heads again. They will give you another Skullges. You caneasily collect all the Skullgems needed to give to the Oraclefor the new Dark Jak skills. Then, kill yourself and repeat.

You willfind a room full of water and some steps. In order to get to theroom and up the steps, do a trick on your JETBoard (X +L1 + Left Analog-stick). You will find six PrecursorOrbs.

When you first use the JETBoard, try to get the "Gold"high score. It will reward you with 9 Precursor Orbs. If you getthe "Silver" high score, it will reward you with 6 PrecursorOrbs. If you get the "Bronze" high score, it will rewardyou with 3 Precursor Orbs.

Once you have the JETBoard, go to the level where you find thegear, the lens, and the fragment. Go through the warp gate tothe top, get the ammunition if necessary, then shoot the platformon the right and down the lift. Once you are down, go straighton to the circular room. Go right and you will be in a passagewith lots of Metal Heads. This is a very good opportunity to getSkull Gems. Keep going until you see the crates which you haveto push along to get across the Dark Eco. Instead of going across,get on your JETBoard and go right a short distance, then back.You should reach a sort of cove, where you can find about tenPrecursor Orbs as you go along the passage.

Hint: Destroying Bomb Boxes:
When doing a mission for Torn where you have to destroyBomb Boxes (the robot spiders that shoot electricity), get directlybehind one and start shooting.

Hint: Reaching the race garage:
One trick to make it in time to the race garage isto cross the water as soon as you come out of Krew's place. Geton the hover craft and make a sort of a slanted line across thewater. Follow the map when you pass the green wall and you willhave at least 30 seconds remaining.

Hint: Swim faster:

Hint: Daxter with horns:
Before you complete the game, look on the top of theHip Hog Saloon to see a lurker fish. After you complete the game,it will be replaced by a giant Daxter with devil's horns.

Hint: Ratchet And Clank: Going Commandoreference:
In Haven City, go to the giant garden that hasgiant flowers and a water cannon shooting water on them. It isnear the entrance of Haven Forest and the Mountain.
