Jak II: Playthrough Part 35: The Last Death Race for the Palace
8Looks like it's time to see Keira at her garage, again... IF Jak is willing to talk to her again, that is...
She unveiled the machine she was working on this whole time to them, a brand new Rift Rider! If they can find a new Rift Ring, they can use it to leave this horrible future and go back home!
But first, she need two more missing pieces: The Time Map, and the Heart of Mar gem! Say... isn't that second thing something Krew has, now?
Jak was about to go pick it up, as well as find the Time Map, but before he could do that, the Class 1 Championship Race was about to commence!
So then Jak has to take yet another detour on his mission to win this race. It is here that he and Keira finally make up after their previous argument. She believes that Jak is his favorite racer, not Erol.
---------
So Jak & Daxter head off to the race of their life. Erol meets up with them with QUITE the violent intent. All of this going on, and Baron Praxis, himself, was there to host the race.
The reward for winning this race (as in, beating Erol) would be a month's supply of Eco... and a free tour of his palace. THIS is what Jak wants!
----------
This track is the most complex, but it's still manageable. It has several high and low lanes.
DON'T be afraid of Erol, here. He may be the grand champion, but his AI here isn't much different from the rest of the generic racers.
After my second death in this race, the third attempt to win this has me succeed.
Erol ends up dying at 6:23 - 6:28! There was quite a jam going on that I guess he could break free from without crashing. MMmmmm buh-bye!
----------
Ignoring that, when you win, the following cutscene has Jak & Daxter rewarded with the Palace Security Pass and their Eco supply.
Praxis descends down to see his new champion, and he is naturally shocked when that championed turned out to be Jak. Was he just shocked to see him in this race at all, or did he already notice before and was just shocked that he survived and WON the race?
So after bragging about how everything in Haven City belongs to himself, the mad Baron prepares to give Jak a 3rd bonus reward: DEATH!
But then suddenly... Erol comes flying in on his racing zoomer. He was trying to run Jak & Daxter over, but they jumps out of the way.
Erol ended up crashing right into the Eco supply, blowing it all up, where nothing else was seen of him except for his racing mask. Erol was now dead, never... EVER... to be seen, again.
In the midst of that explosion, Jak & Daxter dashed straight to the palace, and the Baron ordered his Krimzon Guards to chase after them!
-----------
The chase here isn't much different from the other generic ones. Just grab Zoomer and head for the palace. The alert will go away eventually. This is when I do another Search side-mission and screw around a bit with it.
Remember that you can not only re-race any track, but also race them in reverse. There are different high scores for this, which means more opportunities for more Gold Precursor Orbs.
W-What the hell?! Did you see how my Zoomer just spontaneously exploded at 10:10?! What is up the the collision in this game?!
----------
You are going to the front entrance of the Palace, the same door you exited from after your first fight with the Baron.
This is the point in time where this game starts to see even more conclusions.
