Secrets

Secrets are a recurring gameplay element in the Jak and Daxter series where you can unlock several special game modes, extra minigame courses, weapon upgrades, cheat codes, items and various other stuff. Secrets are either automatically unlocked upon collecting Precursor orbs or can be bought with them. Several of them, such as the scene players, model viewers or scrap books must be selected from the title menu.
