Jak 3 Cheats & Tips

If you wanna walk around the Wastland (desert) or ride around on the Jetboard. But hate getting lost? Just leave your vehicle at the Entry! It leaves a brown dot on the mini-map.

This one goes even higher then the triple jump(X+X+O). Hold L1, press X, and at the top of the jump press O(L1+X+O).

When you do the mission where you have to protect Kleiver's place, you can use the dune hopper because it can blow up the enemys really fast!

melee first punch than jump than ground punch than spin

melee attack with gun do melee attack than at end of spin shoot the second yellow gun it is very good as second yellow gun bullet bounce of walls

When you get to the misson where you have to protect the place where you get the vehicles from Kleiver, you should pick the Sand Shark, the other one won't cut it, (If have a; Heat Seeker, Slam Dozer or any other ones, choose a vehicle that has rapid fire, like the sand shark

every time u hit the ground press square+tringle

Once you get invincibility (100 orbs) and flight ability, go into the desert. The Maraunduers will shoot at you, but you'll br OK. Get on the Jetboard and amuze yorself by going around with the Maraunduers getting crazy and you making amazing jumps.

Remember:

Dark Bomb works best on Metalheads

Dark Blast works best on humans and robots

Dark Strike works well on everything!!!

At the Desert, when you're "Racing For Artefacts", one of the artefacts is the triangle found on the table of Clank's Apartment in Ratchet & Clank 2.

Just use the Light Jak Time Freeze for the hoverboard. The time will still move but really slowly.

In the mission when you must get a high hang time. In stead of doing it the standard way by using jumps in your buggy, get out of you buggy and use the mass invertor it will get you an automatic gold in total hang time (you may have to use the gun more than once) and single hang time.

If you are surrounded by tons of enemies then there are two things you can do. Either press down on the D Pad 3 times to get out your Gyro Blaster or press up on the D Pad twice to get out the Wave Concussor gun. Both these weapons should dispatch enemies quickly.

To do this combo, press: Square, X, Square and O.

First when you are Jak in the sand shark trying to rescue the people suck in the storm drive for five seconds then crash go to start menu and click on restart. Normally you would have 1:30 to do this mission but now you will have 2:37.
Also if your character blows up from no power and needs health and you reappear and have to start over, no problem it will still be the enhanced time. This is probably a glitch so it may not work for every one but for those it does work I'm happy I could help you out.

When you get the Dune hopper, go to the Oracle beside the race. Enter the race with the Dune hopper. Start Charging a jump. When you get to the closest turbo to the cave, use a turbo and jump to the other side. If done correctly, you shoud be infront of the cave exit.

First go to the desert or city.For the desert, get a lot of cars on you then hop out of your vehicle. Get on your hover board and go a fair distance away. Then bring out the peace maker level 2. As the cars are going mock speed towards you...Fire the peace maker level 2 and make them fly. While their in the air bring out the blue gun level 3 and shoot like crazy to make them fly out of the trotosphere.(do not blow cars up though,just shoot them enough so the go really high.)
For the city, go to where people or enemies are. Then bring out the peace maker level 2 and shoot them to make the people fly. When the people or enemies are in the air bring out the blue gune level 3 and start shooting like crazy.Note the people spin a lot.(The people won't blow up so you can shoot them as much as you want until the peace maker level 2's shot wheres off.)
Enjoy!!!

What you do is find a 1 Seater Zoomer,stand underneath it(so the get on command shows up on screen), Take out your Peace Maker, and QUICKLY shoot it and get on the Zoomer, if you do it correctly, you either fly left or right, or you go straight up, allowing you to go OVER the walls if you aim right.

Go to Haven city. At the end of the road wear you do the 2nd optional side mission wear daxter gets on the missle again, you see 2 big tall towers out on the water that is connected by the 2 bridges. On 1 of the sides their is a pole sticking out, Jump on it and then Jump on to the ledge. Go left and stay near the wall, at the end, triple jump (x+x+o) and you should see a ledge to the left, climb up then up and so on. Once you get to the final ledge, (just like the first one) walk around it, you'll see another pipe Jump on and jump up. you'll see the wires, there are 3 different sets on them, so get on the Hover board and start Grind;in!!!

When you are doing the Pac-man mission with Daxter, if you hold down X you go much faster!

this combo i learnd by playing around. first use light jak time freez then use mase inverter then the nuce bomb.

Okay, there's a good combo that'll hurt enemies but you might miss a lot until you practise it.
Punch
Punch+Jump=Uppercut.
Punch+Jump+Punch=Aerial Ground Pound.
Punch+Jump+Punch+Daxter Attack=Super Aerial Ground Pound Whip.

In Haven City get a Vehicle and drive under any other one, now hit triangle than jump and hit triangle, you will knock the other guy out and get in his vehicle. Just a cool tip is all this is.

ok here's what you do, you do a long jump (L1+x while moving) then when you land immediatly jump and you should go as high as a regular high jump

(I'm not sure if this can be used by light shield and time freeze)
When you have the last light power, flight, you can use weapons and you can use the shield whilst firing.

Note: You can also regenerate health without going out of flight form (Unless you don't have mush light eco left.)

If you're surrounded by multiple enemies and are running low on ammo, here's a quick tip. use the beam reflexor(2nd blaster mod) then hit X, O, R1. Jak will jump, spin and fire several shots. the good thing is that since you're using the beam reflexor, your shots will bounce off the enemies and hit others. then the enemies might drop some ammo to pick up

if you have lots of crimson guards on your back and you only have 2 bullets with the peacmaker then hold r1 but dont fire get in a zoomer then look at your ammo it will have one more bullet then get out and fire (note)daxter will be shooting backwards

in the citys keep an eye out for the roofs there are tons of orbs up there. use the leepers and the roof things off the side of the buildings.

Go to haven city. go to the area with the naughty ottsel. travel to one of the small islands that has the big question mark(it's the question mark that let's you do a side mission.) jump on the question mark. if you look up and right a bit you should see some pipes. Change in to light jak with L2+x and double jump while pressing forward. you should now be close to the pipes. you may wish to swap back to normal jak. make your way to the top using the pipes. when at the top there should be a lot of crates used by the guards. brake them if you wish as there are orbs in some of them. press R2 to hop on the jetboard. go towards some wires that are near by and grind down them. on your way down there will be orbs on both wires and you will have to swap from one to the other to recieve them all.

There are 600 Precursor Orbs in all.

I noticed that near the gun course there is an electrical wire that has orbs scaterred along the high wire.now i have also not recieved these orbs yet but i think you may require airborn light jak or jak with wings i am loath to finishing the game spontaneously so this might be apocryphal information but if you get up there then you have to grind the rail.

First it best if you have unlimited light Jak, it might work if you don't have it but then you need to keep refilling the meter. Put on LJ shield and then push one the the Wastelanders (the citizens of Spargus) in to a building wall. Make sure there pinned and not falling down off the wall and then move off. If it works once the wastelander falls down, him or her will disappear. At first it looks as if she/he is gone but then you'll get shots from above at she/he is stand of the building in midair sniping you. Note: It may not work the first time but keep trying.

If you are surrounded by monsters, here's a way to get rid of them easily. Press down on the D-pad twice(this is the blaster mod) then press X,O,R1. He will then fire up to five blasts. Takin them out, or use the scatter gun mod (up twice on D-pad), charge it then blow them away.

To do a triple jump, press X+X+O for a jump higher then before

I know a way of getting an unlimited amount of orbs. First go to Spargus City and go out in to the desert and go to the extra mission thing directly in front of the garage. It is the Marauder Destoyer Mission. Note: You will want to have all your guns full of ammo. As soon as the mission starts, get in the car you are using and then jump out and pull out your gun. As the marauders get close, blast them away. When i tried it the first time I had unlimited ammo and used the peace maker because it is a one shot kill and you can hit more than one marauder. When time runs out and you have at least reached the goal, Kliever will say u failed but you still get the Precurser Orbs

You barely tap the X button. You can be anywhere but you have to be light Jak with wings. If you just keep tapping the X button at the right intervals, light Jak's model will flash a little bit and his wings will be slightly bigger. Keep doing this and his wings will get bigger and bigger and bigger until they go through walls when you walk past them. The sad thing is you can't fly with them. There is no limit to how big they can get. The catch is you have to half way jump or jump very weakly to get large wings. If you do it wrong and actually go airborne before or after you've got large wings his wings will return to normal and you have to start the whole half-jumping thing again. With big wings you can walk around and even fully jump around with them, swim with them, shoot your gun with them, punch with them, twirl with them, and anything else except fly with them or else your screwed and you have to start all over again.
You will know you've jumped right if Jak only "hops" and the camera does not follow him upward and it just stays level since he didn't legally jump.

To get all the Secrets really easy, all you need to do is get as many Orbs as possible and then finish the game. Then just choose Hero Mode, and get them all again! Then go to the Start Menu, then Secrets and buy the rest! I have used this strategy and it works. I have every secret!

go to the metal head section of the city (you need the last form of the piece maker)fire the gun any direction then jump into the acid when you reapear all the tiger metal heads with no skull gems will have blue heads.

for the extra mission where you go "marauder hunting" don't take a veichle. just have a gun( plasmite rpg) with unlimited health and ammo. next start the mission. you notice if you pass the 30 kills mark, the bronze will remain bronze and not change gold or silver, so keep blastin. it will say mission failed but you get the orbs. it will ask try again. click no. go back to the "marauder hunting" and do it over step by step untill your satisfied.

get a zoomer.then, get your peace maker.shoot at a wall. your zoomer will break.(have to be near to wall)

(also in jak 2)

In the place where theres leapers walk or run around the city.

You will see a light jak refiller to refill your light energy.On one of the buildings you see 10 orbs on top of the building.

Use light jak mode and fly up there(press falp shield flap to go higher)(you probaly need infinte light jak)Get all the precusor orbs and purchase a secret or something else

Cheers

you will need unlimited light jak for this. first u pull out your wings then jump and flap, while in the air tap O then flap again, and repeat that as many times as u like and he will keep going higher and higher and higher, also u can fly high enough to fly over gates without the place behind them being loaded!

This glitch happens because light shield terminates a combo. To exploit it, Simply use Light Flight, then immediately Light Shield, Light Flight, Light Shield, etc. You can gain an infinite amount of altitude with this glitch, and go over walls or through some ceilings.

Go to any oracle statue and trade metal head skull gems to start an orb search challenge. Go to the orb and wait for the clock to turn to 00:00. Even though it says 00:00, it takes another second for the time to run out (I.E. 00:00 is really 00:00.100) So wait one more second, and then press Square to dash at the orb as soon as time runs out and the mission failed screen comes up. You will get 3 orbs, and be able to retry!

When you get on a Leaper, here's what you'd do. (I did this today!) Get on a Leaper and press square, X and square again to do a super cool move! Nice, huh?

If you want to ride under the water with the Leaper Lizard, first you'll have to go to Spargus City beach and use the Leaper running on water cheat. Go to the end of the beach and jump off of your Leaper Lizard, then it will fall down into the water. If you want to ride on it, you have to go down into the water and get it.

Start the longest single jump callenge and get out of your car and shoot it until it expoodes. Then when it asks to restart, say "no" and you will continue without a car.

after getting threw the part with the gold car and getting threw to the elevator next to the light eco vent, at the first hamster weal, when the rat thing comes out and cowers in front of the hamster weal, press L1 to activate dark eco. if your standing in the right place, it'll shock the rat into the hamster weal and when it rises up, the rat will have the purple effect of when it got shocked, and the color will stay until something kills it.

in haven port take a non one-sitter and take the best version of the peacemaker you must be in the higher mode of the vehicle then shoot jump out quickly and jump back in before the explosion and you will float a few seconds later you will be in a strangers car and he is driving, if you shoot again the vehicle will explode again and you get in another vehicle.
if you use the vulcan fury and keep schooting the vehicle will explode and you will stay in it
you can only get out by restarting

Three vehicles cannot be acquired through missions in the game. You need Precursor Orbs to unlock them.

after u beat the game, buy invulnerubility for 100 orbs and get on a leaper in Spargus then go to the water and jump in with the leaper and u will be able to ride on the water as if it was real ground!
