Jak then entered their citadel, freed the captive sages and fought the two in their Precursor robot.

Jak and Daxter, along with Samos and Keira, later found out while at the Red Sage's hut that Gol Acheron and his sister Maia had been corrupted by the dark eco they were studying and were trying to activate a Precursor robot to assist them in opening a dark eco silo to flood the world with dark eco.

Jak then began basic combat and athletic training at Geyser Rock, where he got his heroic start collecting power cells and traveling north. The two then discovered that their only hope of changing Daxter back is finding Gol Acheron, the dark eco sage, who lived far to the north of the continent. Jak then returned to Sandover Village to ask Samos for help. When Daxter came back out, he was in the form of an ottsel. The lurker charged the two when Jak quickly threw an activated dark eco canister, disposing of the lurker, but inadvertently knocking Daxter into a pool of dark eco. Jak and Daxter then continued searching the island, where they were confronted by a large bone armor lurker shortly after the secret observation. The two entered a large area where two dark figures were levitating in front of a large group of Lurkers, where they secretly observed them telling their apparent army to kill anyone straying from 'the village.' The opening cutscene of The Precursor Legacy features Jak-along with his friend, Daxter (who was still in his human form)-straying about Misty Island a place that was restricted by their watchover Samos. Jak as he appears in The Precursor Legacy The events of The Precursor Legacy would take place around ten years after this, when Jak was 15 years old.

He also grew up with Samos' daughter Keira, who became his main love interest. Jak grew up in Sandover Village alongside fellow villager Daxter, who became a close acquaintance. Young Jak would then be raised into his adolescence under the watchful eye of the Shadow (real name being Samos). Older Jak sent young Jak into the past with the Shadow, in order to protect him from the danger of Kor. Kor would later be revealed to be the Metal Head leader, disguising himself as an Underground member to sabotage Baron Praxis, who made a deal with him that somewhat neutralized the ongoing war activity. After older Jak passed the trials, young Jak vanished: Kor kidnapped him so that he could open the Precursor Stone for himself. Instead, older Jak forced his way through the door of the tomb in an attempt to retrieve the stone, which at the time was viewed as a desecration due to his impurity. The Shadow originally planned for the young child heir to open the Tomb of Mar and pass the Trials of Manhood to gain the Precursor Stone in order to defeat the Metal Head leader, but the tomb refused to admit the kid on the grounds that he was too young to face the tests. Soon after being consoled by the Underground, Kor, an elderly member of the Underground, was assigned as the attendant of young Jak and his pet croca-dog. Although Veger stated that he lost young Jak to the Underground, the Shadow (the Underground leader) noted that he found him just 'wandering the streets,' suggesting young Jak may have escaped by his own power.ДЄt some point during these events, an older version of Jak arrived from a different time zone. Veger hoped to harness Jak's purity to awaken ancient Precursor technology, and managed to kidnap him intermittently before losing him to a new rebel movement coined the Underground, whose sole purpose was to put young Jak back on the throne where he belonged and re-establish the House of Mar as the ruling dynasty of Haven City. Veger, the council leader of Haven City, was in a desperate search for the Precursor catacombs in hopes of turning the Planetary Defense grid on to defend the planet from the foreseeable future. Jak was pronounced an orphan and left on the city streets, losing the birth name Mar (for an unknown reason) and given the pen name 'the kid.' Through betrayal and tyranny, Baron Praxis rose to power as the 'temporary' ruler of Haven City and banished Damas to the Wasteland. The politics of the impeachment remain unknown, however it is known that it was amid the Metal Head Wars. Some time after his birth, Jak's father was betrayed by Baron Praxis and Veger. His mother was never mentioned in any of the games, making him one of a few characters to have a father with no apparent mother. Jak was born to the Grand House of Mar in Haven City as the son of King Damas.
