Jak 3: Part 32: Paxter in the Eco Grid
4Jak & Daxter was able to access Haven City's Power Room once more. They remember the crazy, fidgety geek that manned this room and lost his life to the Metal Heads in the previous game: Vin.
But it turned out that Vin wasn't completely dead from that war. Right before those Kor-commanded Metal Heads could reach his body and tear him apart, Vin dumped his brain into the Eco Grid, so now he lives on as a memory construct of himself.
Right now, Vin is afraid to help the duo find the code to unlock the War Factory's doors, because the Eco Grid has some nasty security circuits in it that can easily erase him if they touch him.
Daxter offers to take this Eco Grid on, but he also hopes not to fail, otherwise he'll just end up being just like Vin, and stuck with him forever.
----------
As obvious as it is, this minigame is like Pac-Man. Just have Daxter eat all of the dots while avoiding the Nasties. Let the bright red line guide you to which track the Nasty is one right now, and watch out for any pods that spawn in to make more dots.
Die once, and you'll have to start over. The goal is to get all of those Pac-Dots, and then pick up the Cypher that spawns from there. This is also the last you'll hear from Vin in a cutscene.
----------
You can play this Eco Grid game for a high score and more Precursor Orbs if you want. At you clear out the maze, it will keep resetting. After a few clears, more Nasties will spawn in to make your game harder.
I was SO close to hitting the Gold record for this, but that will have to wait for another day, I guess...
Before I can do more stuff in Haven City, there are some more missions I can do for Spargus City. Don't expect a lot of these to appear in Act 2 compared to Act 1, though...
