Follow this Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy walkthrough to navigate the Forbidden Jungle, fix the Eco beams by adjusting Precursor towers, and reach the top of the Precursor Temple.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the Forbidden Jungle by climbing grassy steps and crossing a rope bridge past Sleepy Yakow Guy's farm.
  2. 2
    Cross the river using small islands, avoiding piranhas, and head left following Precursor Orbs to a second bridge.
  3. 3
    On the other side, defeat enemies in the Precursor ruins. Use Jak's crouch-jump to collect floating goodies. Be cautious of the Dark Eco chest that explodes when touched.
  4. 4
    Follow a third rope bridge away from the ruins. Drop into the valley below, defeat the Lurker, and follow the land strip to Blue Eco clusters.
  5. 5
    Collect the Blue Eco, leap across the river, and stand on the blue launcher pad. Press X while charged to launch high into the air.
  6. 6
    Deal with the Lurkers guarding the large machinery. Circle around to the front and use the pistons to climb to the top.
  7. 7
    Hop across spinning discs to find a giant mirror diverting the Eco beam. Hit the wooden structure to destroy it.
  8. 8
    Drop to the ground and inspect the base of the newly emerged tower. Press Circle to take control and align the tower using the arrow sight.
  9. 9
    To find the next tower, circle around the machinery and head left towards the waterfall. Jump over the river; the tower is to the left. Adjust it.
  10. 10
    For the third tower, return to the Forbidden Jungle entrance, cross the river, and run right (away from the rope bridge). Use tree stumps to cross the river again; the tower is on the other side. Adjust it.
  11. 11
    Cross the second rope bridge again to reach the Precursor ruins. Use the small trampoline pad behind them to access the ledge above.
  12. 12
    On this ledge, defeat the spiked pendulum, froggy, and vine enemies guarding the fourth tower. Adjust the tower.
  13. 13
    The fifth and final Eco tower is outside the jungle, on the beach adjacent to the jungle's rope bridge. Adjust it.
  14. 14
    Return to the mayor's hut to collect your reward.
  15. 15
    To get to the top of the temple: Cross the rope bridge away from the Precursor ruins, dash past swinging pendulums, and drop down grassy steps.
  16. 16
    Defeat the Lurkers and step into a Blue Eco vent to charge up.
  17. 17
    Stand next to the two lightning stones near the cliff edge to create a bridge. Jump across the gaps.
  18. 18
    Approach the temple door (while still charged) to open it. Ignore the Scout Fly trampoline for now.
  19. 19
    Power up the elevator platform (use the Blue Eco cluster from the wooden box if needed) and ride it up. Switch to another platform during the ride.
  20. 20
    On the next ledge, charge up at the Blue Eco vent and use the launch pad to reach the subsequent ledge.
  21. 21
    Immediately defeat the attacking Lurker. Bounce on the trampoline to find another elevator. Energize it and hop on.
  22. 22
    As you ride up, step onto the next elevator as soon as it's within reach.
  23. 23
    At the very top of the Precursor Temple, a Power Cell awaits.
Tips
  • Use Jak's crouch-jump ability to reach higher platforms.
  • Be aware that the yellow and gray chest near the Precursor ruins contains Dark Eco and will damage Jak if touched.
  • When adjusting the Eco towers, you can press Triangle to enter a first-person view to follow the Eco beam, or follow the directions provided.
  • Don't get discouraged if you fall while riding elevators; you won't have to start over from the beginning of the section.
  • If you run out of Blue Eco, there are wooden boxes containing clusters to replenish your charge.
