Intro

Samos Hagai: In the great struggle of good versus evil, there is often more to a hero than meets the eye. Just as the plants have their hidden roots, and rocks, when turned over, reveal their dark underbelly with all manner of surprises, so too is the great story of Jak and his epic fight to save Haven City. Every mother's child has heard this story well, but most have heard only half the tale. For as great as Jak was, he would never have succeeded without his often forgotten but faithful sidekick, Daxter.

Samos Hagai: In my many years as a sage, and trust me it's a big number, I've learned one very important truth. Behind every great hero, there is always a wisecracking, obnoxious, nincompoop! This is his story.

Employee: I can't do this anymore. It's too dangerous!

Osmo: But, but please. Don't leave now.

Employee: Forget it! Find another crazy sucker, okay?!

Osmo: (sighs)

Daxter: (screams)

Erol: Forget the rat! The Baron wants him.

Daxter: Don't worry, Jak! I'll save you before you know it!

Daxter: Oomph!

Guard: What was that? Wh-where'd he go?

Osmo: Wh-where did who go?

Guard: That little crazy orange–... Whatever he is. I'll show him!

Osmo: Hmm.

On-screen: Two years later, almost...

Daxter: And there I was, toe to toe with five, uh, fifty-five of the nastiest lurkers you ever saw. Suddenly, they came at me from the left, so I moved to the right, with a chop, and a kick, and a– (yells)

Patrons: (laugh)

Daxter: Wait, come back! I-I've got more! A-after I fell down to, uh, confuse the lurkers, I then– (groans)

Osmo: Can you speak up, son? My ears aren't what they used to be. Tell us the one about how you can knock guards silly with a single blow.

Daxter: What, I can? Oh, oh yeah! Yeah, yeah. Those guards don't stand a chance against the old one-two.

Osmo: Yes, I'm pleased to meet you also. I'm Osmo, proprietor and chief spray technologist for the Kridder Ridder extermination company. Let me get right to brass tacks, young man: I need someone like you; someone with your ingenuity...

Daxter: That's me!

Osmo: Someone with your strength...

Daxter: That's right!

Osmo: Your resourcefulness...

Daxter: Yup. Got it!

Osmo: Your bravery, in the face of certain death...

Daxter: What?! Okay, move along, old man. You had me at "hello", but you had to push it!

Osmo: In short, would you like a job working for me? I'll make it worth your while.

Daxter: Forget it, buddy! I don't know nothing about exterminating, and I hate bugs! Although, I could always fake it.

Osmo: Eh, what? You'll take it? Wonderful! Meet me at the shop tomorrow. And welcome, welcome aboard!

Haven City streets 1 (gameplay)

On-screen: Use Left analog stick to move Daxter into the light beacon.

The Next Morning

Daxter: Looks like the bugs won.

Osmo: What was that?

Daxter: Nothing!

Daxter: All right, everything with more than two legs, start trembling, 'cause the Daxternator is in the building!

Osmo: That's the spirit! Are you ready for your first test?

Daxter: Just give me the bug juice, pops, and make it a double. I'll hose down every creepy-crawly that moves!

Osmo: No, no, no. You must first learn the basics. In my day, we hunted bugs with style and class. A more elegant weapon, for a more civilized time.

Osmo: Now, for your first job, I want you to go and take out all the loose bugs in the local hotel. Go get 'em!

Osmo Reminder 1

Anyway, I'd love to let you up the elevator, but I've lost the key somewhere. Have a look 'round for it, will you?

Concierge Reminder

Concierge: I knew you didn't have the fortitude. I'll need more gold gems than that!

Bring 25 gems back to the Concierge (gameplay)

(Upon approaching the zipline.)
On-screen: Dodge left, right and up when on a zipline.

Meeting Taryn

Daxter: That ain't no bug!

Taryn: And you're too scruffy to be a creeper. So, what's your game? Speak up before these barrels become both ends of the conversation. Who are you?

Daxter: I could ask you the same, sweet cheeks.

Taryn: Well if you must know, I'm Taryn. And let me guess, you're one of those lame exterminators who think they can still clean up the city. I've got news for you: those new metal bugs are more than you can handle, so take your little toys and go home.

Daxter: And I've got news for you: you're really hot when you're angry.

Taryn: We've got bigger problems around here than people know. You want to help? Here's a big girl's way of taking out bugs. You get the creeps, I'll get that crane moving. Think you can handle it?

Daxter: Okay, baby, I'll play along. Watch me work sugar.

Meeting Kaeden

Kaeden: That's three more infestations you failed on this week! Keep it up, and this business will be mine!

Osmo: Go spray your S's somewhere else, Kaeden! This company's been in my family for generations! My father's father, Ozmar Itchy Drawers III, worked his fingers to the bone to make this place what it is!

Kaeden: Yes, I'm sure he's very proud. I promise you, Osmo, I will eventually run you out of town! You'll be bug bait soon enough!

Daxter: What insect crawled up his butt?

Osmo: We're in trouble, Daxter. If we don't start completing jobs soon, I'll lose the business!

Osmo: The bug alert! It looks like something big. To the hangar!

Osmo: For this job, I'm trusting you with my pride and joy, Little Betsy.

Daxter: All right! You got a hot daughter, huh?

Osmo: She's a beauty, huh?

Daxter: She's uh, something all right.

Daxter: You're telling me this thing still flies?

Osmo: Sure. Been in my family for centuries. Used it to take out the infamous curly crab infestation of '67. And you'll need it to take out this swarm. But be gentle with her! I don't know what I'd do if something ever happened to ol' Betsy. Fire her up and go get that swarm, flyboy!

The Crash

Daxter: (screams)

Daxter: Oops.

Osmo: Daxter! Is that you? What was that noise?!

Osmo: Welcome back, my boy. Good, you've already covered ol' Betsy up for me. At her age, that old duster can use all the tender, loving care she can get. I'll bet she needs a wash.

Daxter: No, no! She's fine. Perfect. Not a scratch. No sir-y. Uh, everything's still here... more or less. I'll pick up the pieces later– I-I mean, I'll give her a bath later.

Osmo: Huh. Are you sure? That's very thoughtful of you.

After The Crash (gameplay)

Sprayer Upgrade 1

Daxter: Dry your tears gorgeous, I have returned!

Taryn: Well, bug boy. I see that you're still breathing.

Daxter: Alive and kicking—kicking butt, that is!

Taryn: Yeah, great. Well you might as well have this. It's a little modification for that sprayer pack.

Daxter: Sweet! Uh, what's it do?

Taryn: Pressure boost. Try it out. Mm, this should be amusing.

Daxter: Oh I can handle the pressure, baby.

Taryn: I actually hadn't thought of that.

Taryn: Oh by the way, it only lasts a few seconds.

Daxter: Just keep the drinks on ice, baby! I'll be back before you know it!

Barmaid Intro

Barmaid: Daxter, never thought I'd actually be glad to see you. Anyway, I've lost pressure at the taps, and the valves need to be reset. Trouble is, nobody's been down there in months. I know you don't need any more motivation than that.

(While riding up the elevator.)
Osmo (communicator) and on-screen: What took you so long Daxter? You didn't wreck the transit authority's zoomer did you?

Daxter: Unit 1 returning to base ASAP on the QT. By the way, was I supposed to pick you up something at the store? Yakow milk, maybe? Or some old guy fiber? I keep thinking I've forgotten to do something. You know, something important... I can't help but think–

(In the PAL version of the game.)

Daxter: Thanks, dude!

Ximon: Welcome, dude!

Daxter: Dude!

Ximon: Dude!

Daxter and Ximon: Dude...

Ximon: Ximon's the name. I'm Osmo's son. Pops said he hadn't heard from you for a while, so I tracked you down pronto with the radio. It's a good thing too, we got a mondo job brewing right now on a big tanker in the Port. You ready to party hard?

(Kaeden watches the two fly past his window, the scene shifts to him.)

Kor: Why is that last exterminator company still operating?

Kaeden: The owner, Osmo, has proven, uh, difficult to discourage.

Kor: Well then, help him down the path of despair! I can't have this Osmo interfering with my plans. We've finally infiltrated Haven's security walls, and I don't want some wrinkled old exterminator getting in my way!

Kaeden: I have it handled, Great One. I assure you. He's got some new hired help, but it's only a matter of time before I–...

Taryn: A bit jumpy for a big hero, aren't we?

Daxter: Yeah well, the twitch comes with the job. How about a little something, you know, for the effort?

Taryn: All right, you deserve a bone. This flamethrower attachment will keep a smile on your face. Just watch your cone of fire and keep the kill zone in front of you. It depletes your fuel, so use it carefully. And don't forget to clean the barrel...

Brutter: Oh! So sorry, little orangey pal. Me Brutter. Me own fish cannery, but mean nasty metal bugs eating all me fishy foods. Brutter lose business.

Daxter: Well, that's what I'm here for. You can thank me now.

Daxter: No problem. Then it'd just be you and me baby—starting civilization all over again.

Taryn: Oh, that's not in the cards, fuzz ball. Still, you are useful in handling the smaller problems around here. I suppose you're ready for a real toy, if you've got the fur for it. That's an ultrasonic attachment. It's... experimental.

Daxter: (screams)

Ximon: Woah, dude! I thought you were a goner for sure! You know, a surfer's never supposed to turn his back on the ocean.

Daxter: You see this?! That tanker's cargo was meant to be delivered to the Baron's Palace. You know what that means?

Daxter: Uh, your boy, uh, you know... Captain Xi-Xi-Ximon... Rupertikjakmos.

Erol: Nice try—that call didn't happen. Captain Rupertikjakmos is on leave this month! He couldn't have been the one!

Daxter: Ah, well, you see–

Ximon: The Captain, uh, called, like, from his vacation house—home—hotel, and said this palatial palace-type place was crawling with bugs and to get here pronto. Something about the Baron's wishes.

Erol: And they sent you? Look at you! I'd say you're the only vermin in this place.

Erol: (sniffs) Tch! What, d'you sleep in the trash last night?

Daxter: Yeah, well it's uh, it's a tough job.

Ximon: Very tough.

Daxter: We perform a vital service. So, uh, if you'll just let us do our job.

Ximon: Yeah. O-Our job, that we do...

Daxter: We'll just get to it and get out of your hair.

Erol: See that you do, and quickly! I'll be watching.

Daxter: Right! Have a good day!

Erol: I never do.

Ximon: That dude needs to chill, dude.

Escape the Palace (gameplay)

(Shortly after exiting the elevator.)

Daxter and on-screen: This is not going to be good. Daxter, it's time to get your orange self the hell out of here.

On-screen: Escape the Palace

Finding the Map

Veger: Dark eco is a dangerous toy you're playing with, Erol. This map of the prison shows five inmates who have been exposed to this disgusting dark eco. All have died, save one. Your weapons program is a failure!

Erol: Count Veger, you simply have no faith. This Jak person shows promise. The old hag Onin says he's special.

Tik: Tik! Tik! Tik!

Veger: What was that?

Veger: Agh, bugs! I hate bugs! They're everywhere these days!

Veger: What was I saying? Oh yes, light eco is the key! If we can find the secret of the Precursors we–...

Erol: The secret is fear, and turning our warriors into weapons with dark eco! We'll need something powerful to defeat the Metal Heads.

Veger: It will be your downfall! These eco freaks will not save us!

Daxter: Oh yeah! The roadmap to Jak. Nice going, little buddy. Give me a high claw.

Tik: High claw!

Finding the Clothes

Daxter: Good boy, Tik!

Tik: (exclamations)

Daxter: No, these clothes won't fit me. But maybe Jak can use them.

Tik: (exclamations)

The Shop Goes Boom

Osmo: I don't care what you say! We're doing our best!

Kaeden: Well your best isn't good enough!

Kaeden: Look! There are bugs even in your own establishment!

Tik: (groans)

Tik: (screams)

Daxter: No!

Daxter: Tik?

Kaeden: That's how it's done. And you're next!

Kaeden: (laughs) Now you die!

Daxter: Osmo!

Osmo: (coughs) Everything I've worked for... gone.

Daxter: Don't worry. I'll get that blow-hard metal bug for what he did. But I gotta go save my friend Jak. Hmm... I'll just need a plan...

(Cut to above the prison.)

Daxter: Uhh, are you sure this is safe?!

Ximon: Trust me! You're looking radical, dude! Totally extreme!

Daxter: Then lower away! This ottsel is on a mission!

Ximon: And it's totally possible!

Daxter: Dude!

Daxter: I'm okay! I'm okay.

Rescue Jak (gameplay)

(While on patrol.)

Guard
  • Ah, nothin' there.
  • You see something?
  • Where're the prisoners?

(Upon sensing Daxter.)

Guard
  • What was that?!
  • What are you talking about?

(While attacking Daxter.)

Guard
  • Get some!
  • Take that!

Kaeden Has Failed

Kor: Once again you have failed, and I must contemplate how to exact pain for your disservice.

Kaeden: Why is this Jak creature so important? And that annoying orange furbag, he is nothing but a trifle!

Kor: You have no idea how important they both are to the cosmos! Daxter must not be allowed to rescue Jak! Do you understand?

Kaeden: I will see to it personally!

Kor: Yes... But if you fail, maybe that orange rat can still be of service...

Kaeden: I will not fail! This isn't over yet.

Kor: If Daxter breaks the eco user out of prison, this Jak, I could still meet them both outside... in disguise... Yes, an old man would win their confidence. (laughs) I can still get what I want!

Kaeden: And I will get this Daxter's head...

What's on the Tube

Daxter: Oh yeah! Let's see what's on the tube tonight.

Daxter: Boring, boring. Seen it. Rerun. Hated it! Boring. I was up for that part.

Ladies: (scream)

Daxter: Woah! Sorry ladies, I didn't know Krimzon girls took showers. Brrr!

Jak: (groans)

Daxter: Jak! I'm coming for you, buddy! Hang on!

Ladies: (scream)

Daxter: Heheh. Just checking!

Pick on Bugs Your Size

Daxter: Hey uh, sleaze breath.

Kaeden: Do you like killing metal bugs?

Daxter: Well, there is a certain top-of-the-food chain satisfaction to the whole–

Metal Kaeden: Then why don't you pick on a bug your own size?!

Daxter: (nervously chuckles) Well yes, technically you are actually a lot bigger.

Metal Kaeden: (laughs)

Epilogue

Metal Kaeden: You cannot stop the coming onslaught...

Daxter: Bring it on, bug breath! I just stopped you, didn't I?

Metal Kaeden: No matter what happens, my master will be waiting for you and Jak outside...

Daxter: Outside where?

Metal Kaeden: It's already written. The city will be ours...

Ximon: Woah! Gnarly! Excellent work dude!

Daxter: That's right. Heroes always find a way to get it done, no matter what the hardship!

Ximon: Yeah!... Well, the map here says this door was open all the time; you could have just walked in. Oh! And you left behind your sidekick's threads.

Daxter: I knew that. Now I must be off for my date with destiny. Fare thee well, my fine fan. Parting is such sweet– (screams)

Ximon: Oh! Now that is a heroic exit!

(Cut to post-Jak II Naughty Ottsel.)

Daxter: And that's how I saved Jak.

Daxter: (growls)
