Precursor Orb Collectibles

Lore & Background

Precursor Orbs are ancient artifacts left behind by the Precursors, an ancient race central to the series' mysteries. They are used to unlock cheats in each game and, in The Precursor Legacy, are required alongside Power Cells to advance the story.

In Their Own Story

Jak and Daxter gather Power Cells throughout their journey to fuel the Zoomer's heat shield, allowing them to cross Fire Canyon and reach Rock Village. They collect more Power Cells to activate a levitation machine to remove a massive boulder blocking the path to Klaww, whom they defeat. After Gol and Maia are destroyed, the group discovers a massive Precursor Door requiring 100 Power Cells to open. If Jak and Daxter have collected all 100, the door opens, revealing a dazzling light, leaving the group in awe of its mysterious significance.
