Jak II/Life Seed

Missions concerning the Life Seed are covered here along with a few unrelated missions.

Mission: Beat Erol in Race Challenge

 * Location: Haven City

Follow the martini glass icon to the Hip Hog and go in.


 * Cutscene: "Krew Makes A Threat"
 * Krew wants you to throw the championship race, but despite Krew's argument that it will be both fun and profitable to disappoint your fans, you're not interested. Krew hints that your attitude isn't good for your health, but Erol is there and says it's just fine with him. In fact he can't wait for the official race and challenges you to a street race there and then.

The route takes you through the southern gardens to the bazaar, then around the palace and the statue of Mar, through the canal in the mall, north into downtown, and finally follows the river to the stadium gates. There aren't any shortcuts this time, it's cornering skill and course memorization that will get you through. There are pedestrians who may get in the way, but fortunately the KG take the day off.

To get off to a good start, jump to the right as you cross the bridge after the first ring, this will line you up well for the second ring. Take it easy in the bazaar because there are more turns and the streets are narrow. You need to jump to get over the railing into the canal at the mall. Go carefully again in the alley going downtown, and be prepared for a right turn and another jump to get to the river. The biggest mistake you can make, other than crashing, is to miss a ring, so keep half an eye on the city map to plan ahead.

When you win there is a short cutscene ("Erol Hates To Lose") where Erol vows to get even in the championship race.

Mission: Destroy Eggs in Strip Mine

 * Location: Strip Mine

Follow the lightning bolt icon to the power station and go in.


 * Cutscene: "Good News and Bad News"
 * Vin says eco supplies are stable and it looks like the city shields will hold for the time being. But he's detected Metal Head eggs at the strip mine. You recall seeing a large container which just might do the trick if you can drop it on them.
