Jak 3

Story

The game begins with Jak and Daxter being banished to the Wasteland by the tyrannical Count Veger for alleged crimes against Haven City. Ashelin, who opposes the banishment, gives Jak a beacon before they leave and tells him to "stay alive." As they travel through the desert, they learn in flashbacks that Haven City is at war between the Freedom League and the surviving Metal Heads and their allies, the KG Death Bots. Then the palace is destroyed by an unknown force. When Jak, Daxter and Pecker lose consciousness, they are rescued by a group of desert dwellers who take them back to Spargus City. When they wake up in Spargus, King Damas says that Jak must earn his place in civilization by proving himself as a warrior in arena challenges and serving the city that his "life now belongs to" because he was saved. His missions include retrieving artifacts after sandstorms, racing buggies and leaper lizards for upgrades, eco-crystals and buggies, catching kanga rats on a leaper lizard, and various other odd jobs in the oasis city. Most important among these events, Jak is endowed with light eco-powers in the Precursor Temple by an oracle who sees Jak as the last hope for civilization, to balance the darkness within him. These powers include the ability to slow down time, healing powers, shield abilities and even flying. Along the way, Jak befriends the precursor monk Seem and the buggy garage owner Kliever, who initially dislike him until he gains their trust over time. During one of Damas' missions in the desert, Jak is found by Ashelin, who reveals to him that she knew Damas would find him because she knew he would check his old beacons. She refuses to tell him how she knows Damas, and then asks Jak to come back to Haven City to defend it from the Metal Heads and the new Krimzon Guard Deathbots. Still bitter about his banishment, he refuses to return. Ashelin leaves him, but later, after finding out what the evil Count Veger has planned for his friends, Jak changes his mind and travels to Haven City via transport. Jak and Daxter help reunite the Haven resistance, which is divided due to the barriers erected by the enemies, giving them hope that they can beat back the Metal Heads and Deathbots.
