D.a. Haven City Streets
-----------------------

After the introduction cutscene, walk into the light beacon and enter the
house. Watch the cutscene and exit the house. Once you exit the house, you
will see a beacon to the left (facing away from the door to the house) and
run to it to collect a precursor orb and learn something valuable about them.
Run to the next beacon to learn how to jump and collect a health pack. The
next beacon gets you a Gem and teaches you how to Double Jump (X+X). The
final beacon is the entrance of the Hotel and just enter the door to enter
the next level.

----------------------------------
D.b. Westside Hotel
----------------------------------

In the entrance of the hotel, you will learn a few tricks of the controls and
after that, just head into the light and press X to discuss matters with the
Concierge. There is a light beacon visible behind you and run to it to grab
the key to the door at the end of the hallway. Run past the water fountain
and go through the door which will lead you to the next stage in the level.

Your objective in this level is to collect 25 Metal Head Gems and you have
to destroy metal heads to collect them. So, while I walk you through this
level, be sure to be knocking out every metal head you can find because you
need 25 gems to finish the level. Anyway, after exiting the elevator, walk
forward, kill the purple jumping termites, and run to the right. You will
see a killer plant to the left and all you do is press triangle to sneak
past it in Ottsel Mode. Walk across the bridge up ahead, and take a left
then a right avoiding the Killer Plant when you see it. At the end of the
path, jump on the barred wall to climb and continue through the level again.

Go ahead and kill the two metal bugs along the way and you will reach a pond.
To get across, you must jump on the lily pads to get across. Collect the
Combat Bug (which is a cage with a yellow outlining around it) which is on
one of the pads. Once you get across, run past the waterfall and you will
get to another barred wall which you can climb. Instead of climbing the
whole way, why not press X to jump from wall to wall until you get to the top?
That is exactly what you can do but you could just climb one wall, your
choice.

Once you get to the top, head down the cliff and avoid the killer plants
which are along the way. Once past the plants, walk up the curved pathway and
jump across the platforms to get to a slide. Jump onto the slide and ride all
of the way down. Walk up the path and straight ahead to a door where you can
crawl though using Ottsel Mode (Triangle). In the room, jump on the bed to get
to the higher level and crawl through the vent. You will come to a room that
has a large table in it and just walk through the room ahead to the next room
and don't forget to kill the metal heads by the table. There are a total of
2 in that room.

At the end of the room, take a right into the door and past the killer plant
and you will come into a circular room. Defeat the metal heads and move on
past the open door. Go forward and you will see a gigantic bed in a huge room,
after killing the metal heads, face the pillows on the bed and jump on the
bed which gives you a boost into the air and go on the left side platform
where you will jump on top of the dresser and crawl though the vent.

After crawling through the vent, you will come to yet another slide and slide
down it while avoiding the traps and collecting Precursor Orbs along the way
if you want to. At the end, find the elevator door in the room and talk
to the Conceirge again to tell him that you have completed your mission.

Exit the Hotel and run to the Construction Site for your next level. The icon
to the Site is displayed on the map on the top right side of the screen in
Haven City. Congratulations, you finished your first level.

---------------------------------
D.c. Construction Site
---------------------------------

Enter the Site, and you will come across a zipline, jump up to the zipline and
ride it down to ground level. Run up the path, killing metal heads along the
way and jump across the platforms to get to a trampoline which will propel you
up to the next platform. After you have jumped up to the next platform from
the trampoline, take a left and climb up the wooden planks. Take a right turn
and run across the platform until you get to a overhanging platform which you
have to jump up to get climb across it. Climb across it and watch out for the
swinging ball which will knock you into the water if you get hit. After you
jump off of the overhanging platform, run ahead and climb through the pipe.

After the cutscene, run ahead and defeat all of the metal heads so Taryn can
bring the crane to you to jump up on it. Just jump on it and it will take you
to the next wave of metal heads and defeat them all. You do this a couple
times and when she brings you up to another platform, just run ahead and
defeat the metal heads and crawl through the pipe.

Crawl on the cylinder pipes which you have to jump on to different pipes to
get across. Crawl through the pipe after the cylinders and climb up the
ladder to the left of the pipe you just crawled through and run across the
platforms, trampolines and a pipe to get to the end of the path which you have
to jump on the zipline to get down. While on the zipline, make sure you
avoid certain obstacles by shifting the analog stick to the left or right
or up depending on where the obstacle is.

At the end of the zipline, make your way through and up the elevator. Once
you are up, get off the lift and turn left in the room to see a ladder. Climb
up it and get on the zipline while being conscious of avoiding obstacles with
the analog stick. After the zipline, you are safely back in Haven City and
go to your next destination located on the map.

-----------------------------------------
D.d. Breezy Valley
-----------------------------------------

After the cutscene, you are set up with Betsy for a mission. Betsy is an
old Zoomer which you ride on to complete this mission. The first part of the
mission involves taking out a few bugs which are infecting the plants and
use Betsy to take them out. Okay, now, refill your green eco meter and
press R1 over a plant which has black smoke arising from it to kill a bug,
you have exactly 26 to kill and this is a TIMED challenge. Once there is a
certain amount of time left, light beacons will show the locations of the
plants so you can hurry up and kill the bugs. The next phase of the mission
will begin after you kill the 26 bugs.

Now, 6 bugs will gather around the big plant. Just follow the light beacon
again and kill them quickly. After you have done so, the Queen will escape
and start flying around. Chase her and try to hurt her by hitting her when
she turns. That is the most efficient way of hurting her and when you
finally kill her, head back to the house because you have completed your
mission.

Once in Osmo's house, enter the light beacon in the hallway and jump on the
bed in the room. Initiate the Matrix dream and play it to gain more health.
Talk to Osmo, and head outside to jump on your new scooter and ride to the
new location on the map. A cutscene will show and Taryn will give you a new
modification to your bug spray.

***READ: You have to beat the Matrix Dream to get Osmo to talk to you. You
only have to beat the dream once and that is it. Once you beat the dream,
you can get Osmo to talk to you. If you beat the dream and Osmo still doesn't
talk to you, it is probably a glitch and you may try to restart your game. If
the problem occurs again through your second playthrough, then please notify
me by email and I will try to help you get this figured out. I am still
trying to answer that problem.***

----------------------------------
D.e. Brewery
----------------------------------

Once it loads up to the level (which takes little to no time at all), you will
be in control of Daxter and you will be in the bar currently. Go forward and
head through the door on the left. Head down the passage until you see a
couple Metal-Heads, defeat them, and continue forward into the next part of
the room.

In the next part of the room, you will see two Metal-Head beasts, defeat those
and continue to the end of the room. You should see a web covering the door
and a little flame a little to the right of that. Face the little flame, and
press and hold Circle to initiate your flamethrower. After you have your
flamethrower in use, face the web and it will burn allowing access to the next
room.

In the next room, you can defeat the two baddies on the floor then go back to
where you came from in the previous room. Don't go into the previous room,
just go on that platform that you would see going into this room and look
a little to the left. You will see another platform so what you do is jump
off of the current platform that you are on and press and hold Circle to
hover to the next platform. On that platform look off the ledge and in the
air you will see a floating green circle which is a thing to fill up your
Exterminator Spray tank. Jump off the ledge and Hover to the next platform
while hitting that green pellet to increase your air time. Defeat the baddie
and go to the left in the small passage which you have to press Triangle in
advance for. Continue on to the next room.

Jump onto the floor in the next room and three baddies will fall down and try
to hurt you. Just defeat them and look around the room for that little flame
that you can burn the web with. Do so, and continue on. In that next room
after the web, just jump to the next platform and then you will see two
pipes in front of you that are spewing flame out. What you do is Hover and use
the flames to get an extra boost to get to the next platform. Go ahead until
you reach three baddies. Defeat them and continue to the next room while
avoiding the steam being emitted from the pipes you should see after beating
the baddies. You should see another flame and web and light the web up to
continue.

In this long passage, make your way through using Hover and defeating baddies
along the way. You can collect Precursor Orbs that are placed in the level if
you want to but that isn't required. After the long passage, you should run
into another couple baddies and you know what to do. Go right and you will
enter another room. Continue through the room until you reach another web.
Go through the web and you will see a bigger baddie than what you normally
see. What you can do is just flame him too, it is much easier to do so.

Continue through the room until you see a big wall. Face the wall and jump to
it to climb it. Swat the baddies on the wall and get to the top. When you
get there, you will spot a big baddie and all you can do is just swat him to
death. To do this effectively, get behind him and swat him. It will lower
your chance of damage with this type of critter. Go through the steam, and
when you get to the green pellet, be cautious and walk slowly until the floor
collapses in front of you. Then all you have to do is Hover over it and you
are in front of another baddie. Try to defeat him and continue through the
steam. To get through the steam this time, time it correctly like after the
steam stops, Jump and Hover.

In the next part, you will take a right and you will see two other steam vents
which you get past by jumping over them at the right time. Continue on, and
you will see four baddies: three small ones and one big one. Skip past them
and start up your flamethrower to burn them up. That is the easy way to do it
so I recommend you do that. Light up your Flamethrower and get past the steam
to light up the web. Continue on.

Another Long Passage, just go through and if there is a place where you have
to Hover through the green pellets, then do so. Also, when you see something
that looks like you have to crawl through it, press Triangle and do so. At the
end of the passage, equip your Flamethrower and flame the baddie and the web
to get through. In the next part, jump to the platform on the left and take
your time to Hover past the steam. Continue on.

Head through the web, and you will be in a new room. Jump on the platforms
using hover and the flame vents to boost you up. If you miss a flame vent, you
will most likely fall down so get back up and try again. Once you get to the
top, you have to go through the vent and you will find yourself in another
room. Jump to the bottom of that room and head through the second vent.

In the next room, head to the ground level in the room and head straight
towards an object which is a minigame. Activate it and play the minigame.
What you have to do is press buttons on the D-pad and the Shape buttons which
coordinate with the red Circle on the screen. If you have played Jak II, then
it is very similar to the Metal Head Smash game in the Hip Hog Heaven. After
you defeat this minigame, head to the bottom level of the room and through the
door. Continue through this passage and you will show up back in the bar. Talk
to the barkeeper again and exit the brewery.
Continue to your next mission.

------------------------------
D.f. Transit System (Train Chase included)
------------------------------

At the end of the elevator, run through the first room killing the purple
Termites on the right side of the machine in the room. When you see a bunch
of pipes blocking your path in front of you, just crawl under them to get
to the other side and continue. Continue down the path killing bugs along the
way until you come to the tracks where a train comes every few seconds.

Wait till the train comes past you, then jump and hover to the other side
of the track. Climb up the barred wall, and crawl under the door to get to
the other side of the room up ahead. On the right side of the room from where
you came in, there is a zipline which you can ride on. Kill the bugs in the
room first, then ride it.

Jump off the zipline at the end of it and you will find yourself on a moving
train. While on this train, you must avoid the bumpers that hang off of the
walls by moving Daxter away from them. Once you see another train that comes
in on the left, jump on that next train. Stay on this train and when you
see another one come in on the left, don't jump on it because you will die.

On this train, do the same and avoid the bumpers on the walls and get on the
next train you see on the right. Be careful to avoid the little overhang
when jumping train to train because it will electricute you. After jump on the
next train, jump again to the train on the left and ride that avoiding
obstacles along the way.

When you see another train, jump on it, and ride it to the platform on the
left to which you can jump off the train to get to it. Run ahead until
you see a bunch of crates to the left side of the room (facing the front).
Jump up the crates and get to the top. Run ahead a little bit until you see
a little vent on the left side. Crawl through the vent and jump to the bottom
of the next room.

Walk ahead and get on the elevator and ride it down to get to the next stage
of the level. Run up ahead until you see a huge cylinder shaped building.
Climb up the barred wall and you can avoid the red laser that runs up it by
having Daxter stay in a part that is not red. You can follow the precursor
orbs to get to the top.

Once on the top of the platform, look around for a vent (big enough that you
can walk through, you don't have to crawl) and run through it. At the end
of that vent, there will be a smaller one that you will have to crawl through
and there you are, in the next room. Just run up the passage and crawl through
the next vent and in the next room, ride the elevator down the the lower
half of the room.

Find the zipline in the room, and ride down it. You will find yourself riding
another train and the same rules apply, jump or move to the side to avoid
obstacles and jump from train to train. Press triangle to avoid the laser
walls and jump over the lasers that stand in your way. Once you are at the
end of the trains, the train will come to a stop and you can get off to the
left.

You will come to some tracks where the trains come every few seconds. Just
start hovering over the tracks after the first train goes by and you will
be fine by getting over there. Be sure to collect the floating green eco to
ensure getting over the track and you will succeed. Run ahead and enter the
room to jump on the zoomer.

On the zoomer, just accelerate and go along the path. Hit the speed boosters
on the ground while traveling to the end of the path. Avoid obstacles as well
and you will get to the end of the path. Jump off the Zoomer, face ahead from
behind the zoomer and run ahead up the path. Look on the left wall for a
passage and you will encounter your first boss in the game.

****************************
D.1. Hive Queen I
****************************

Phase 1:

Once you see the boss, it will be in an egg like shape. Hit it once, then
defeat the bugs it distributes. After a few hits, the Queen will come up
from the ground. To beat the boss, be sure to stay far away and wait till
it crouches over and shoots a few beams at you. While it is shooting those
beams, you can jump over them and spray the beast with your Bug Spray. Hurry
and run to the back of the Queen and swat her behind. Do this a few more
times until a short cutscene showing the Queen get mad. Here is Phase 2.

Phase 2:

Now the Queen will jump and hit the ground producing a shockwave that can
hit you easily. All you have to do is, right before she hits the ground, Jump
and hover over the shockwave and hover to behind her and swat her with the
square button. Do that a few times and the third phase will initiate.

Phase 3:

This is the final phase and it will do the same as it did in Phase 1. Just
use the same strategy in Phase 1 and you will beat the Queen. Exit out of the
opening that is revealed after you beat the Queen and ride the elevator
up to Haven City and just travel on your scooter to the next mission at the
Power Station.

----------------------------------
D.g. Strip Mine
----------------------------------

Enter the Power Station and go through the portal and select Strip Mine as
the level you want to transport. Walk ahead to talk to the miner and he
will give you the mission to do. Here is how to find the 8 eco crystals.

1st Crystal:

Walk ahead, and you will see a huge barred wall with a couple precursor
orbs on it. Climb it and at the top, you will see the first crystal.
Collect it and return to the miner.

2nd Crystal:

From the miner, walk ahead, past the barred wall and onto the next escalator
path and the crystal will be right in front of you. Collect it and return to
the miner.

3rd Crystal:

Now, from the miner, go to where you collected the 2nd crystal and climb
up the barred wall. Run to the end of the platform, hit the switch, and that
will activate the huge cylinder object and get it spinning around. Now,
backtrack to where you got the 1st Crystal and look on the left for an opening
to walk into the huge cylinder.

In the cylinder, you will see a bunch of Dark Eco and platforms spinning
around the cylinder. Just wait till the platform reachs you and jump on it
then the next platform and repeat till you get across. Once you get across,
the crystal is right there.

4th Crystal:

Now, from the miner, walk ahead and run to the right of the stage that you
are in. You will see an opening and a couple metal bees. Kill them and walk
ahead and grab the Crystal.

5th Crystal:

Go back to where you found the third Crystal, get on the floor escalator and
press triangle to get safely under the rotating chunk of metal. Hurry and jump
to the left and just start running up the path. To jump over the gap on the
way, just hover and make sure you hit both the green eco pellet and the
flame to get to the above platform.

Run ahead, walk to the right, and there is a Crystal right there.

6th Crystal:

Go back to where you found the first crystal and turn to the left to find
an opening to another cylinder. The setup this this cylinder is different
but it is pretty easy to figure out how to get across. Once across, you
will see the crystal, collect it.

7th Crystal:

Where you found the last crystal, jump on the zipline ahead and ride it down.
That will return you to the miner. Now, go back to where you found the 3rd
Crystal and run to the right where you will find a passage where there
are flames to use to boost up to the platform. Now use the first one and turn
to the right and hover to the green pellet and use the flames to boost up to
the platform.

Get to the elevator and have it bring you down and continue your path all the
way to the crystal. Along the way, you will see a barred wall. Jump on it and
crawl down to the below platform instead of up. Next, you will see a barred
wall shaped like a circle and these metal things rotating around it. Climb it
while avoiding the metal things and you will be fine.

After all of that, another wall to climb and there is the crystal.

8th Crystal:

After the last Crystal, continue down the passage and ride the elevator ahead
down to see a couple green eco pellets and a boosting flame. Use them to get
across and run ahead up the path. You will see the crystal ahead and now
you have collected all of the crystals! Use the elevators in the room (which
are just above and behind you while facing the crystal) and return to the
miner to complete the mission.

-----------------------
D.h. Breezy Valley II
-----------------------

Your mission in Breezy Valley last time was to clear the infected bugs from
the plants and you are back again with a similar mission. Your job is to
use the green eco to help the bugs and you have to do what you did last
time basically. The bugs are pretty simple to find but if you can't find
one, the time will run out and you will be able to start to see the light
beacons the bugs have at 1 minute left on the timer.

Once you have helped all of the bugs, you have to defeat 3 Queens this time
and you can find them very easily considering their size. Just hit them once
and they are dead. Find and kill them and you will complete the mission.
Let me reiterate that you can hurt them easily when they start turning and you
just slip right in and hit them and they will die.

Once you have completed your mission, return to Osmo's house and navigate
to your next mission.

-----------------------
D.i. Prison Zoomer Chase
-----------------------

All you have to do here is chase the Prison Zoomer and avoid any projectiles
it will distribute and it will try to kill you. It is easy to die in this
mission since you might hit a few bombs or landmines anyway. Just try to avoid
the bombs/landmines and follow the vehicle. Be careful to stay where you won't
fall of the ledge in this mission because if you fall, you will most likely
fail the mission.

Just be careful and follow the vehicle until a cutscene appears. You will
automatically appear at your next mission after the cutscene so don't bother
trying to navigate there.

**User Input: You can cheat a little bit by following along the prison zoomer
below the platform's just as long as you stay in proximety. By avoiding the
bombs all together, you make it 100% easier.**

-----------------------------
D.j. Tanker I
-----------------------------

Your main job at the Tanker is to collect 30 gems from the metal bugs in the
level. When you are dropped off at the level, run ahead and jump on the
swaying boats to get across. Crawl through the vent, and kill the bugs
on the other side. After you clear the bugs in the area, just go a little
bit to the right from where you came out of the vent, and get on the moving
lift. The lift has a red platform so you can't miss it.

Jump down, kill the bugs in the area, and continue on. Climb the ladder when
you see it and move on to the next room. In the next room, Kill the bugs, and
climb the ladder at the end of the room, and jump across the platforms at the
right to get on the red colored lift. Once you get off the lift, you will
see multiple poles laying down for you to climb on and get across. Kill the
bugs that you see on the way, and get across the poles.

At the end of the poles, run up and jump on the white trampoline and just sit
back and watch Daxter fly up and flop on the ground. Climb up both ladders
that you see after you hit the ground and watch out for the rolling piece
that can squish you if you don't time how you climb up the ladder.

Jump up on the moving box ahead, and get across to the other platform. Run
up ahead and jump on the trampoline to enter the building. Continue on in
the building and watch out for the moving mechanical arm that can hurt you
if you get hit. Just time your movements and you will be fine. Crawl under
the arms when it is needed.

Kill the Bug up ahead, and continue on while climbing up the wall and killing
bugs on the wall. At the top of the wall, go up ahead and get past the fan,
then you will see platforms in the middle of a Dark Eco pool. Don't go too
fast over the platforms or you won't live to tell the tale and time it
correctly. Study the movements of the platforms before jumping on them.

Now, continue on past the 2nd fan and hover to the other side of the gap
ahead. If you have killed all of the bugs in the level so far, by the time
you kill the 3 more bugs, your mission should be completed. Now to get out
of the level. Head up the path and hover over all of the dark eco there is to
get across. If you already have completed your mission, then killing the bugs
ahead isn't a necessity at this point.

At the end of the path, climb the wall, and get past the fan ahead. Again,
you will see another set of mechanical arms and apply the same rules to this
as last time you saw them. Once you get past the arms and the platforms in
dark eco, Head up the path and jump on the trampoline when you see it.

Hit the light beacon and watch the cutscene. Walk into the next beacon
to activate Tiks minigame where you have to short circuit the lock. In this
minigame, you have to use the D-Pad to move Tik to where the symbol (X,
Square, Triangle, or Circle) will hit. It is quite simple, when the symbol
gets close enough, move Tik to the right purple platform and press the
button that the symbol displays. Once you beat the minigame, move on.

The Port in Haven City is now open to you and you have exited the Tanker.
Move on to your next mission by locating the light beacon or following the
icon on your in-game map. Up ahead where your scooter is, a cutscene will
trigger and you will acheive a new part for your bug spray.

--------------------------
D.k. Fish Cannery
--------------------------

If you followed the fish icon first on your map at the Port, then you will
end up at the Fish Cannery. Here is the strategy for the Fish Cannery.

Run ahead and crawl under the spikes. Kill the bug ahead and take a right.
crawl under the second set of spikes and torch the bug ahead with your new
flamethrower. Continue up the path until you get to a refridgerated room.
Once you enter the room, take an immediate right and enter through the door
to get to the next room.

Hit the lever and melt the ice cube a little bit with your flamethrower and
get to the above platform. Melt the ice cube all of the way ahead and
continue on. Hover across to the platforms and get to the other side of the
room. Move ahead on the passageway, killing bugs along the way and ride the
elevator up when you get to it.

Run across the room after the elevator and jump down the hole after you get
past the door in the previous room. Melt the ice cube to keep moving along
and in this room, you will see a couple bugs and a purple egg sack. Torch
all of them and run ahead to the next room. Jump down and melt the ice cube
to continue on.

In this room, watch out when jumping from platform to platform because the
fish will try to get you by jumping out of the water. Make sure they are not
facing you and then jump. Up ahead in the next room, hit the lever to make
the ice cube come up from the ground and melt the ice cube to continue on
further. Don't melt it all of the way because you need to use it to get up
on the platform. If you mess up and do melt the whole thing, just hit the
lever again for another ice cube to come back up.

Crawl through the vent and torch the bugs up ahead. Use the crates on the
right to get up and hit the lever for another ice cube. Melt the ice cube
and jump on top of it to get up to the next platform. Torch the bugs, then
get moving past the fish. At the end of the room, kill the 4 bugs and
jump in the elevator.

Once out of the elevator, you will be in a huge room with a bunch of moving
platforms and fish trying to eat you up ahead and you have to make sure the
fish don't eat you while trying to get on the platforms at the same time.
Once you get across safely, jump in the elevator and continue on.

Hit the lever, melt the ice cube, and jump up to the platfrom on the left
after jumping up onto the crates from the ice cube. Now you will see two
levers. Melt the ice cube that is closest to the ledge, and make sure you
keep it melted to the point where you can jump on it.

The next ice cube requires precision because it can't be melted too much.
Slowly melt it in bursts and you will see that it will keep its height if
you go in short bursts with the flamethrower. Basically, just hit it two
times with your flamethrower and you will be fine.

Jump on the first ice cube you melted, then the ice cube you were careful
with (use bug spray to hover to the second one to make it easier) and
switch to your flamethrower. Now, run to the very edge of the ice cube,
make a good double jump and hover all of the way over to the cage and you
will make it.

Continue ahead, up the elevator and into the next big room. Take a right and
melt the ice cube so there is a fish visible instead of an ice cube. Hurry
around to where you can see the big fish and make sure he eats the fish on the
moving line before hovering over to the other side.

Ride the elevator up, then in this room, go forward and take a left and
crawl under the spikes. From this room, just backtrack and get back to the
entrance from where you came to exit. Now at the Port, continue to the
Distillery level.
