Faster credits
Once the names of the Naughty Dog staff have been shown and have disappeared
off the screen, hold X or Circle, The credits will speed up and be completed in
a few seconds.
Faster Zoomer
Hold L1 + R1 to go faster on the Zoomer, at the expense of maneuverability.
Shoot cannons farther
To make the cannons at Misty Island and Sentinel Beach shoot farther, hold
Square or Circle + X. This helps with any steel boxes.
Super jump
Press L1 + X. If timed correctly, you will go into a crouch position and
spring higher that you would by double jumping (X, X). Do the rolling jump, then
just as you touch the ground, press X. You will jump as high as the double jump.
After double jumping, press Circle rapidly for a longer jump.
Avoid fall damage
Press Circle to spin kick just before you hit the ground and you will land
perfectly every time.
Swim faster
Instead of holding the Analog-stick in the direction you want to swim, keep
tapping the Analog-stick in that direction. By doing this, you will move about
twice as fast.
Flying
In training mode, get Blue Eco to go through a door; instead jump off the
mountain side with rocks. If done correctly you will be flying until the Blue
Eco runs out.
Infinite Green Eco
When fighting rats in Boggy Swamp, do not destroy their nest. They are very
easy to defeat and give you four pieces of Green Eco each. If you are low on
life, destroy some rats.
Power Cells
Go in the Forbidden Jungle and talk to the person that is standing on a
bridge. If you catch 200 pounds of fish, he will give you a Power Cell and let
you ride his boat until dark. To get the electricity to work for Sandover
Village. go into the Forbidden Jungle and go behind the big building. There
should be a little building on the right. Get on top of it and break the mirror
by kicking it in the air. Follow the beam to the next pole. Keep on doing this
until it is done, then go to the mayor for a Power Cell.
Extra Precursor Orbs
After defeating the giant plant in the Forbidden Jungle, go back and jump on
what looks like the left eye of the plant. An orb will appear. Grab it and
repeat. You should be able to get at least four orbs out of it.
Defeating the Giant Plant
At the Giant Plant in the Forbidden Jungle level, run from the first spike
bug until the spikes go in, then destroy it. The plant will try to eat you.
Dodge it, and it will go to sleep. Jump up on the leaves and hit the flower
part. Repeat this another two times. After he collapses, jump on his head and an
orb will appear. Jump on the head until no more orbs come out.
Defeating the Klaww
At the Klaww in the Mountain Pass level, dodge the boulders. The last one he
throws will contain Blue Eco. Get it, and a bridge will appear. Run to the end,
dodging the boulders as you go. Get the Yellow Eco at the end, and when he
starts to make a big boulder, fire away. Keep blasting him until he drops the
boulder on his head, then run back to the first three platforms and repeat the
process another two times.
Get to Yellow Sage
When you get to Gol and Maia's Citadel, free the Blue Sage first and go on
the Blue Eco platform. Roll, then jump off. You will be able to free the Yellow
Sage without having to go through the obstacles. Note: This may require some
practice to avoid falling.
Map translation
The following message is the code translated from around the outside of the
map that is included with the game:
"In ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep, the silent giants wait to be awakened.
Deep will their slumber be, silent their once echoing voices, until the world
has no memory of their beginnings. In the gloom they will watch, and they will
wait. Those who go to them for answers will return only with new questions. But
these will come when silence ends. The one who carries the light will awaken the
voices. With him one whose fate was twisted toward darkness long ago, in the
time before time when the light bursts from the earth the answers to the
questions will begin. But only begin, for still the world will not be ready to
learn the truth of its past, or the secrets of its future."
Easy Way to Get Power Cell from Pelicon
First go to senital beach. Then get to the cannon (first you have to unlock the
blue eco vent). Aim at the pelicon and shoot(it may take a few times). Finally
swim over there(NOTE:the fish will not kill you) and the power cell should be
there.
Unlimited Yellow Eco When Using Yellow Balls
When you see a yellow eco ball (NOT yellow eco vent) get it and stand in the
same place where you found it and when you shoot as long as you are in the same
place it will automatically charge up again.
Handstand
To make Jak do a handstand, find a cannon that fires the exploding bags. For
example, at the tower at Sentinel Beach. Get on top of the barrel of the cannon.
Try until Jak stands still without sliding. Hold R1 and press X. Jak will jump
high. Then, press Square to slam down. If done correctly, Jak should do a
handstand momentarily.
Special Door
First, you need to defeat the dark eco robot. After, you will talk to Samos and
Keira and she will say to you "get 100 power cells and this door will open.
Avoid Ambush
On Misty Island, when you go into the dark eco sylo (the huge circular arena)
don't walk straight through it. You have to creep round the edge, and if you
have blasted the strong boxes with the cannon, collect the precursor orbs.
Dark Eco Pool
To get to the dark eco pool on Misty Island go up the platform with all the
barrels rolling down and blast the strong boxes with the cannon. If you then go
to the side of the platform near the barrels ad jump off you will land on a
platform next to the dark eco pool.
The most difficult crystal in spider cave
The most difficult crystal to reach in spider cave is most deffinately the one
in the water near the dark eco pool. The only way to get to it is to make a role
jump by pressing L1/R1 + X in your role. You have to time it perfectly to make
it but it's absolutely doable after some practice. If that's the only power cell
you can't get: don't worry. There is a total of 101 power cells to collect in
the game and for the alternate ending you only need 100.
Opening Strong Boxes
To open strong boxes you can either blast them with yellow eco or hit them with
a bomb. To hit one with a bomb you can either get a cannon or, on Sentinel Beach
you can sand next to a strong box until a-bomb lands next to you and blows it up
(when the bomb lands run away and come back when it has blown up).
Ride the Falls
When exiting the the forbidden forest you are walking along a river. Get in the
river but be careful of the little fish they will bite you. Keep walking and
when you reach the falls either walk or jump off. Note: you can do this to save
a few extra seconds or just for FUN
Hint for "Mountain Pass"
In the "Mountain Pass" there is a big boulder bloking the way to a Power Cell
and a few other things. You need to go to "Snowy Mountain" and unlock the yellow
eco vent there.(it is behingd the trees) Now go back and get the yellow eco
vent. then blast the boulder away.hint: you need to jump a clif to get the Power
Cell.
How to Get the Power Cell From the Pelican
To get the power cell from the pelican. You need to kick or hit the pelican, and
then jump off of the cliff and swim to the will mill wheel and run to the
clearing (where the rock is) and you will see the power cell ,but i warn you you
should try your best to get to the power cell before the pelican does because
the pelican will take it again and you will have to get it again.
How to" Find the Canyon to the Sea
As you already know, there is a fisher who leads you his boat right? If you go
to the water fall in back of the fisher. You will see there's a little river
lead to the building (where the boss is) (the plant monster) if you go pass the
blue eco vent on the cliff. You will see balls of blue eco if you look where the
river ends you will see a little piece of land ,that is where the power cell is
