Is there any other checks?
Yes! as of 1.4.0
The secrets menu will now be checks. You will have to get orbs to purchase them to send the checks. Use X or O (if you are given the secret but haven't bought it) to purchase secrets!
OrbStanity will be added next.
How do I know what Special Items I have?
Use the built-in Inventory Screen in the Pause Menu to see what items you have.
What is the goal of the game once randomized?
Currently, the default goal is to Defeat the Final Boss by going through Palace Ruins, So you'll need every Pass to get there as well as the following
- All Eco Crystals (Dark and Light) and all War Amulet Pieces
- Both the Sand Shark and Slam Dozer
- JetBoard
- Dark Jak with Dark Strike and Light Jak with Light Flight
In addition, you may also choose to complete a given number of missions of your choosing. Five missions at minimum, and 110 at max!
What happens when I complete a mission, main or side?
When you complete a mission in game, two things will occur. Firstly, the task will be marked as completed in the game's mission list, and your Jak 3 client will tell you what item you sent out or received. In the case of the side missions, a similar case will occur, in that you will receive the respective precursor orbs in game, as well as your text client telling you what you found and who it belongs to.
What do traps do?
When creating your player YAML file, you have the option of replacing a certain percentage of filler items with traps. You can choose which traps you want to generate in your seed, as well as how long they last. A random assortment will then be chosen to populate the item pool.
When you receive one, you will hear a warning sound and some kind of negative effect will occur in game. These traps range from a small nuisance to maddeningly annoying. When the trap ends, the game should return to its previous state. Multiple traps can be active at the same time, and they may interact with each other in strange ways.
What kind of traps are there?
Traps from Jak and Daxter, Jak 2, and some new ones!
| Trap Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| Trip Trap | Jak trips and falls |
| Slip Trap | The world gains the properties of a strangely familiar mountain's ice lake... |
| Gravity Trap | Jak falls to the ground faster and takes fall damage more easily |
| Camera Trap | The camera remains fixed in place, no matter how far away Jak moves |
| Darkness Trap | The world gains the properties of a creepy cave... |
| Earthquake Trap | The world and camera shake profusely |
| Teleport Trap | Jak immediately teleports to the Underground Hideout |
| Despair Trap | Sig turnings into Mario |
| Pacifism Trap | Jak's physical attacks have no effect on enemies, crates or buttons |
| No Light Eco Trap | ~~Jak's light eco is drained and he cannot collect new light eco |
| Health Trap | Jak's health is set to 0 - not dead yet, but he will die to any attack or bonk |
| Ledge Trap | Jak cannot grab onto ledges |
| Reverse Trap | Jak's controls get reversed |
| Mirror Trap | The world is mirrored |
| Ammo Trap | Jak has all of his ammo taken away from him, making his guns unusable |
| Dark Trap | Jak gives into his anger, forcefully transforming into Dark Jak |
| Hero Trap | The world gains the properties of the game's "Hero Mode" difficulty |
I got soft-locked and I can't leave, how do I get out of this?
Open the Game options, Go to Archipelago Options, Then select a Place to teleport besides Spargus Garage, each other place needs the required passes to get to.
How do I reach certain areas like Volcano, Eco Mines, or War Factory?
The mod has been worked around to have the Warp Gate Menu Mod by Nick07. Certain Warp Gates can take you to different areas of the game.
| Trap Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| Warp Gate in Temple | Volcano, Eco Mines |
| Warp Gate in Power Station | War Factory. |
Now they will only be accessible when you have the mission to access that area. So use the built-in Mission tab in the Pause Menu to see if you can play those missions.
I think I found a bug, where should I report it?
Depending on the nature of the bug, there are a few options:
If you found a logical error in the randomizer, please create a new Issue here. Use this page if:
- An item required for progression is unreachable.
- The randomizer didn't respect one of the Options you chose.
- You see a mistake (typo, incorrect information, etc.) on this page.
- You see an error or stack trace appear in the text client.
If you encountered an error in OpenGOAL, please create a new Issue here. Use this page if:
- You encounter a crash, freeze, reset, etc. in the game.
- You fail to send Items found in game to the Archipelago server.
- You fail to receive Items the server sends to you.
- Your game disconnects from the server and cannot reconnect.
