Gun Locations
Morph Gun: Scatter Gun. You get this on the mission for Krew where you go with his bodyguard to take out metal heads. You have to complete the shooting range first though.
It is just like a shotgun. Wide range, close combat etc.
Morph Gun: Blaster. Again given to you by Krew. This is a long distance, single shot rifle, with decent firepower and laser sighting. You get another shooting range with this.
Morph Gun: Vulcan Cannon. Yeah Baby!! This hell of a upgrade can take down a wave of Krimson Guard before you can say, "Praxis is a " Hold down R1 to turn this baby into a Gattling Gun. Watch your ammunition supply though!
Morph Gun: Peacemaker. I Haven't got this mutha but it does more damage than crashing a Hellcat Cruiser (These go down really easily!)
I'm going to keep searching though.
Praxis battle: This is the one on the palace rooftops. Its not hard but its not easy either.
First get your blaster and take any available shots, without getting hit. When Praxis recharges get out the scatter gun and jump + shoot. Repeat until yellow health. Then Praxis fires bombs. Shoot a t him with blaster while dodging. When on red health, avoid tornados and keep shooting. when he charges at you roll then shoot. It'll be over before you know it!

Get Peacemaker gun
To Get the peacemaker gun you have to escort three of Krew's worker guys down to this statue in the sewers. This gun can blow up absolutely anything in one go. If you find loads of guards together shoot into them and they conduct the electricity  the gun fires or something because they all fry. this gun is the same as Sig's gun (krews wastelander)

Defeat metal head leader
The leader of the metal heads is the last boss of the game. After you start fighting him, there is no way to go back to the city until you defeat him, which means you can't collect ammo other than the blaster ammo around the nest, so be sure to come with full ammo of all gun barrels. It is also a smart thing to have all the dark Jak abilities, including giant dark Jak. There are three parts to the boss:
1) When the battle starts, the boss lays metal head eggs that don't hatch for a few seconds. Use this time to shoot the metal head leader with a few blasts from the peacemaker or whatever you have ammo for. When the eggs start to hatch, dispose of the small metal heads quickly with your blaster or scatter gun, and avoid the leaders single shots of concentrated dark eco. While shooting and running from the smaller metal heads, keep turning towards the center of the nest to land some shots on the suspended boss. When you have depleted 1/3 of its health, it will momentarily lose some supports and limp. get ready for part two.
2)Part two is identical to part one except you don't get any time at the beginning and flying metal heads will come up from the hole in the center of the nest. Also, the metal head leader will give a double shot of concentrated dark eco, so be sure to jump or roll away twice when evading its shots. Once you diminish the 2nd third of the boss's health, it will jump down from its suspensions and part 3 will begin.
3)The metal head leader chases you around the nest, pounds the ground causing a circle of dark eco to come from it which you must jump over (like shockwaves from other games), and will shoot a triple shot of dark eco. If you do not have enough dark eco to turn into dark Jak, just keep shooting the boss and keep evading his attacks. Otherwise, mutate into dark Jak, transform into giant dark Jak, and administer a dark bomb. This will deplete more than half of the monster's remaining health, and is a good head start on finishing him off. After that keep evading and shooting until the beast collapses.

This may take a few times, so if you get low on blaster ammo or need to collect more dark eco for dark Jak, waste a couple lives collecting ammo and shooting all the small metal heads to collect dark eco. After you defeat the boss, sit back and enjoy the ending movie.

Dark Blast
After you've got Dark Bomb, collect 200 Skull Gems and go back to the Oracle and you'll receive Dark Blast.

Mar's Tomb Location
Late in the game after when you do the mission to destroy all hellcat cruisers you will be told to go to Onin and Pecker and also the old geezer is there not Samos, um what's his name um Kor but that doesn't matter you will have to complete a task set by Onin first. Triangle , 0, [] and x will appear on the screen at different times out of the pot get to 400 points and you will be able to get to mar's tomb just follow the map put all three artifacts in the right places then you will see a clip where everything blows up in haven city. Go back out go to the thingy on the map see a clip where the Oracle speaks and says something and at the end everyone apart from Jak and Daxter gets arrested and you will be put to the test...

Second Run-In with Praxis
When You get to the Tomb of Mar (Or something like that) you have to beat the two Tests of Manhood. It takes about an hour to beat them, because there are a lot of puzzles and obstacles to overcome. Well, once you get to the end of the challenge, you finally get to the long awaited Precursor Stone. Who's to say that Praxis gets in your way! So I'll tell you how to beat them.
First you see him jump onto the statue with his giant spider robot. He starts drilling at the stone, but, to keep you occupied, he launches these mini spider-bots. Don't try to punch them because they're electrified.
Take out two or three of them at once with the scatter gun.
Then Prax will launch time bombs all over.
Now's your chance to strike back. Get in front of one of the bombs and punch it in his direction. If a good shot,  it will hit him. Do this until all of the bombs are gone. He'll launch those spider things again, beat 'em, and repeat until his health is at yellow. If his health is at yellow, he'll occasionally jump off and and pop up somewhere and shoot at you. Hide behind the pillars when he shoots. Then he'll do the bomb bit again. When his health is red, he'll acquire the stone, and attach it to his robot. Needless to say you should hide when he blasts with it at you.
He'll do this and launch bombs and shoot all at the same time. You got to be quick and punch those bombs. Stay close to a pillar, but they collapse if he hits it to much. If you follow this, you should have him beat. But Prax isn't going down this time either.

Dark Powers
Dark Power: Dark Bomb
At a cheap price of 25 Skull Gems, you can unlock this paralyzing move. Great for taking out all enemies if their surrounding it (X+[])

Dark Power: Dark Dash
This cool move is 200 skull gems and will inflict pain upon anyone who messes with you([]+X)

Dark Power: Invincibility
This granted power allows Dark Jak to be Invincible!! You shall not lose a single life point whilst in Dark Jak with this

Dark Power: Dark Giant
The last of the moves given to you by the oracle is Dark Giant. By pressing L2 when in Dark Jak mode you will turn into the Dark Giant Jak. Double the size, double the speed double the attack power. I wonder if anything else doubles?!!!

More Hints from the Cousin himself
Morph Gun: Peacemaker
I found it!! You get it after escorting the 3 fools of men that are Krew's workers through the sewers.
 
Morph Gun Upgrade Number 1:
This upgrade handily increases your rate of fire for the Scatter Gun.

Morph Gun Upgrade Number 2:
This cool upgrade doubles the amount of ammo you can have in the Blaster and Scatter Gun

Morph Gun Upgrade Number 3:
This decent upgrade is given to you by Krew before the boss battle with him. It increases the damage caused from one shot.

How to get the JET- BOARD
Go to the mechanic (and it's the 3rd or 4th mission after you beat the jet-board competition) she'll tell you to go to Haven forest and when you get in it, the room between the city and the place you are going (it takes forever to unlock), the mechanic will give you the jet-board. HINT: you have to use the jet-board for A LOT of missions.

Complete securi-tank mission easy
I spent about an hour trying to beat this mission and I came out with a pretty good strategy.  In the first room it try's to shoot you so move left and right a lot.  Then when it breaks the wall start doing LONG JUMPS.  When you roll press the jump button and you'll go far, fast.  This method  will get the tank off your back.  Then use the bar to swing into the third room.  use the platforms to destroy the things in the middle then move on to the next room.  It is pretty easy there on. and in the end just let the tank destroy the barrels.

After subtle underground fighters go talk to Torn and he will say here a volcano barrel for that pee shooter of yours which is blaster weapon.

How to Get Special Technique Dark Bomb
After you collected 25 metal head skull gems go to the oracle and this icon guide you there

Extra scrap book:
Get all 200 orbs in Hero Mode

Play Alert Mode Music When Not in Alert Mode
To play the alert mode music in Haven City without having the Krimzon Guards chase you, go to the gun range at the port in the south part of the city. Before going into the gun range, do something to get into alert mode, like shooting a guard. Then enter the shooting range, move to the back of the room and wait just a few seconds. Now go back outside and the alert mode music will start playing, but the guards will just be normal.

 Fight Fewer Guards
You can fight fewer hover guards in the Destroy Ship at Drill Platform mission. When you get out of the warp gate and go left to get into the Gunpod, instead of getting into the Gunpod, turn into Dark Jak and do a dark bomb right next to it. Another way is turning into Dark Jak and doing a dark blast right next to the electric gate (if you are in hero mode and have infinite Dark Jak try both multiple times). One of these worked perfectly. After doing this, when you get into the Gunpod no monsters will attack until you get to the point where an indicator tells you you have to kill 40 Hover Guards.

New Look for Bar
Finish the game, and then return to the saloon to find new decorations inside of it.

Running Over Guards Without Getting in Trouble
Drive towards a guard, and then jump out of the vehicle before it runs him over. As long as you are not in the vehicle when it hits him, the guards will not be alerted.

See Jak and Daxter Posters
Beat the championship race (class 1 race), and then posters of Jak and Daxter can be seen around the stadium area.

Infinite Orbs
For any Underground Orb mission, if you grab the Orb at exactly 0:00, you'll get a "Mission Failed" and also the 3 Orbs you won. If you choose to try again, you can do this over and over and keep obtaining 3 more Orbs.

Dark Jak vs Final Boss
After the cutscene before the final battle, hold R1 and you'll transform (or stay as) Dark Jak, regardless of Dark Eco meter.

Alternate scrap book:
Collect 200 orbs in Hero Mode.

Torn mission 2: Shortcut
On the second long jump, when you are on top of the sewage thing, jump to the left. If you keep going straight once you hit land, there will be stairs taking you to a new part of the mission. Go up the stairs. This skips about one half of the mission.

Hip Hog Heaven: Lurker Shark on plaque
Go to Hip Hog Heaven (the bar place) and look on some of the plaques. There will be a Lurker Shark on one of them.

Avoid guards by stealth
When on foot in the city and being chased by guards, get out of sight and press the Left Analog-stick towards a wall. You will get stealthy until the panic is over.

Not chased by Krimson Guard:
When you steal any car, drive on the ground. When you see a Krimson Guard Hell Cat above you, press R2. You will hit the bottom of the Hell Cat, but not get chased.
Steal a hovercar and when you see a guard, change to low hover levels. Go fast, and before you hit them, get off quickly. It will smack them without them knowing it was you.

Krimson Guard revenge
After you defeat Krew, go back to his place. Win the Wack the Metal Head game. Metal Heads will be loose, and the Krimson Guards will be chasing only them. You can now kill the Krimson Guards without them going after you!.

Daxter holds any gun
If Jak has equipped any gun (for example, The Blaster), steal a car with the gun still equipped. You will see that Jak has given the gun to Daxter. And if you fire the gun, Daxter will shoot. Or, if you are in a car and equip a gun (for example, The Blaster), Daxter is holding it. if you fire the gun, Daxter will shoot.

Faster time in stadium mission
When the mission where Jak has to race across the city to the stadium becomes available, complete all other missions until it is the only mission remaining. You can now receive a faster time by going from Krew's place north into the square and through the area with the water. Follow the map to reach the stadium in time with ease.

Morph Gun: Scatter Gun. You get this on the mission for Krew where you go with his bodyguard to take out metal heads. You have to complete the shooting range first though. It is just like a shotgun. Wide range, close combat etc.

New Look for Bar
Finish the game, and then return to the saloon to find new decorations inside of it.

Swim faster
To make Jak swim faster, keep tapping the Analog-stick in the direction you want to go.

Hover on water and Dark Eco with JetBoard
When keep the JetBoard, you can use it to hover on water and Dark Eco. This can be very useful when you want to go faster on water if you do not have a Zoomer, or if you have to cross some Dark Eco lakes.

Blaster combo
When you have the Blaster rifle and have it equipped, use the punch attack (Square) on an enemy, then quickly shoot (R1). Jak will knock the enemy in the air and finish it with a strong rapid fire.

Spinning rapidfire blaster combo:
When you have the Blaster rifle and have it equipped, jump (X) then when in the air, spin (Circle) and fire (R1) while spinning in the air. Jak will start shooting rapidly while spinning. Use this to easily kill a group of enemies when surrounded.

No time limit:
Pause the game, hold down L1, L2, R1, R2 and Enter Up, Down, Left, Right

Invincibility:
Press Up, Up, Up, Left, Down, Down, Down, Left, Up, Up, Up, Left, Right

Hint:
This is not really a cheat but did you know that their is a higher jump than a crouch jump? This jump is a little difficult but it does work. All you have to do is find any spot in the game with a lot of room and do a roll jump and as soon as you touch the ground, press x. If you do this right, then you shall see how high you can jump with this undiscovered move.

Unlimited orbs:
Press pause and Press Circle, Circle, Square, Up, Down, Up

Ratchet And Clank: Going Commando reference:
In Haven City, go to the giant garden that has giant flowers and a water cannon shooting water on them. It is near the entrance of Haven Forest and the Mountain. From here, go to the City (not to the stadium area that is nearby). Go past few small bridges, then you should face a big building. On its wall, you should see a picture of Ratchet and Clank (the main characters of Insomniac games' Ratchet and Clank). Ratchet is wearing his green commando suit from in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando.

Morph-Gun Ammo
Red - Scatter Gun
Yellow - Blaster Weapon
Blue - Vulcan Fury
Purple - Peace Maker

Massive Explosion
This only works when you are in "Dark Jak" mode. When you are in this mode, press X to jump and hit square while you are in the air. This will make Jak come down head first into the ground, causing a massive explosion destroying everything around him. This works really well when you have a lot of metal-heads or any other creatures attacking you.

Ride Elevator To Palace
In the mission: Ride Elevator to Palace, you will come across a place where there are electric blade like things to dodge. After you have passed them, you will find a bunch of tiles that have sparks coming out of them. It is nearly impossible to get across these. Look down to the left. There are some stairs. Go down them, there will be some poles to swing on and that will get you past those.

Continues Punches
This hint is used to defeat enemies faster. First you need to be in Dark Jak form. Then, just keep pressing the square button. In no time, all your enemies will be gone. This is very useful if you're in a hurry.

Blender:
Go to an area where there are no Krimzon Guards (such as the mountain area). Waste the ammunition for all your guns. Pull out the Vulcan Fury again by pressing Left, then hold R1. The Vulcan Fury will rotate, but since it has no ammo, nothing will fire. Instead, you will hear only the mechanics of the gun, which sound similar to a blender.

Destroy produce stands
Notice the produce stands scattered about the area of Haven City where Onin is located. You can wreck them. Punch, spin, shoot, or hover over the boxes and vases. They will break and the produce will scatter everywhere.

More ammunition
To get more ammo for any of your guns without getting caught, do the following. Make sure you are in a place where there are Krimzon Guards (for example, Haven City). Steal a zoomer from anyone. Accelerate (press X) at a Krimzon Guard, and when it is about to hit him, get off (press Triangle). Keep on doing this about four to five times to get ammo.

Faster time in stadium mission:
When the mission where Jak has to race across the city to the stadium becomes available, complete all other missions until it is the only mission remaining. You can now receive a faster time by going from Krew's place north into the square and through the area with the water. Follow the map to reach the stadium in time with ease.

Winning the Class 1 race:
When you get on your race car, there will be an intermission sequence that shows Erol pulling in next to you, and Baron Praxis will announce if someone manages to the grand champion they will get a year supply of Eco and a ticket to get in his palace. When you start the race, there will be a short cut at the beginning on the right-hand side. Try to keep your first place lead. Near the finish line there will be a very brief shortcut tat puts you somewhat farther ahead. Repeat this three times and use the shortcuts to win the Class 1 race.

At the first class championship race (where Jak and Kiera make up), when you start look to your right. There will be a blue tunnel. Go down the tunnel and you will be ahead of the other racers.

Winning the Class 2 race:
The jet bike will jump if you press L1. When the race starts hold back a little and collect the left side boost icon left by the pack. Use a Jump and Boost combo to clear the cannon and cut out a hard U-turn. You will see light across the cannon where you jump. This should have you in front of the pack. Remain there by taking this shortcut in all five laps.

Winning the Class 3 race:
On the level that Keira gives you (where you need to win the third class race), at the beginning of the race try to get a turbo charge (the purple ball). When you enter the tunnel, you will see red lights. On the other side there is the track. If you use the turbo charge (Circle) and jump (R1) at the correct time, you can reach the other side.

Secrets
The things you can unlock depends on the amount of orbs you have. 5-toggle jaks goatee on/off. 15-mirror world. 30-giant head mode. 45-small head mode. 55-scrap book. after that you get to see clips from the game 65-act 1. 95-act 2.

Glitches

Weird Death
While in the Water Slums, send a zoomer under a building. Next, get off the zoomer and try to get on again. If done correctly, you'll go into the water and sink til you die. You'll come back though.

Swim Anywhere You Want in the Pumping Station
You can get rid of that annoying robot that kills you instantly by turning into Dark Jak and executing Dark Bomb in the water while the robot is in view. If done correctly your screen should shake a little and the robot should disappear.

Slow Down Rock In Tomb
In the tomb when Daxter is being chased by a rock, hide as soon as you can behind one of the triangles sticking out from the wall on the left or right. The rock will be in slow motion allowing you to pass easily

Cool Warp World
Go to the South city water area and into the left corner (there should be a small square building with a door). Jump on the roof, orient your camera facing back towards the center of the water area, then roll off just above the door. If you do it right, you will hit the ground, the door will open briefly, and you should be able to get inside. Once inside, you can use R3 to look around, or press up on the camera repeatedly and you will suddenly be in an elevator. At the bottom of the elevator is a cool platform with blue stretching in all directions. You can kind of see the block puzzle in the upper left corner. When you die there you will reappear next to the Titan suit in the underport. This glitch cannot be accessed until you get to "Rescue Sig in the Underport".
