Ive been playing this game for 15 years and its a total trip seeing where all these eggs have been hiding all this time

Congrats man! I plan on getting the whole series platinum

[@trevorjacobs1282]

This game is only 16...personally, and we may all be different, I think the rule of thumb with pop culture being classic is when it finally hits 25 years. My sources? Cars lmao.

[@Wenotfrom63rd]

Trevor Jacobs lmao I think the 25 year rule on cars is when cars from Japan is able to be legal to be brought to the US.... I honestly think 10+ years is good enough for games

[@trevorjacobs1282]

Sorry I feel like it seems like I'm ripping on you brother, it's an excellent game (the trilogy is tied for favorite game trilogy with Mario bros 1, 3 and world, followed along with Spyro and Crash tied for seconds) and you're entitled to your opinion that this a classic game.

[@Furnus105]

This looks like you had a perfect route throughout the entire thing with a ton of planning. This guide is an absolute masterpiece and you deserve any credit and more coming your way!

[@KBABZ]

Thank you so much! Yeah I did have a plan of attack, I'm honestly surprised it was possible to be so efficient! It did take me many, many tries to get right, for both Spargus and Haven City. AND, because apparently I didn't think this was hard enough, I also did the runs entirely through the day, but only JUST! I start at dawn and it ends at dusk!

[@Silverlined_69]

Thank you sir. Had to watch twice to find the one I missed when I first watched

Awesome video! Also, I noticed how you intentionally resetted your orbs for each part of the game in order to make even more simple and clear the orb counting. Thank you!

Thank you for noticing I did that! Was able to pull it off thanks to the Mission Select to quickly jump to specific moments of the game. Only play I had to tweak it a little was the Temple area!

[@ishpaltheretrogamer8714]

Yup. Last time on Jak 3. I just like collecting orbs in the hub world.

[@mattwells1036]

Definitely a few I forgot about and missed. Unfortunately it seems I've found all of them now and am still 9 short, I have silver on wave concussor course, and every other challenge gold. I distinctly remember not seeing it give me any orbs for the timed orb drop on the grind rail in harbor area, I got there late, and the gold on the shorter racetrack didnt give me any either, that accounts for all nine I'm missing.. I guess another playthrough is at hand. Lol my ps4 platinum run went from being a day with the orb glitch, to several days when I had time to grind out challenges and find the remaining ones. I still went ahead and got em all despite thinking I was shorted several times. Now it's looking like over a week maybe even two. Just do to the time I'll have, and what I want to do with it.

[@MrBurny09]

Can you collect all of them after you beat the game

[@KBABZ]

Yes you can! All of them can be collected again, although the Sewers are less intuitive: you MUST enter them via their original entrances.

[@MrRizeAG]

Followed several different complete orb guides multiple times, including this one...and I have 599 orbs. Kill me.

[@kylemaltas1781]

I followed the walk through for the orbs but still came out short

[@MoozipanCheese]

To make the jump at 26:42, jump and then hold R1 and forward to roll forward further in the air. I tried and you can't make it to the ledge with just a normal jump.

[@luhole]

How do you do the double jumps while on the jetboard? Like along the wires above Haven City Port?

[@KBABZ]

Those would be Trick Jumps! To do those, jump into the air and then press L1 and a direction on the analog stick. I use up because when you do that move, Jak jumps right off the Jet-Board and higher into the air, making it much easier to grab some of the Orbs on the cables!

[@mattwells1036]

@@KBABZ what's your high score on the jetboard challenge in 3? I got 177775, just wish I could displace a few thousand of those points into my next go at the wave concussor challenge lol.

I’ve gotten a ton of the orbs I’m 27 off but my game is glitched and idk how to fix it for instance the orb challenge right under the turret challenge I got the orb but I still can do the challenge and the orb isn’t there idk what to do

[@LeafyKozasshu]

Might I ask how to get into the oracle room in the monk temple in post game?

[@KBABZ]

Take the Dune Hopper out to the Temple and head inside. Head to the room with the swing poles from your first visit and look for the slightly elevated doorway on the left side: this will take you down the path from your third visit and back to the Oracle Room!

[@mannabanerjee]

I followed this guide but now I'm stuck at 582 orbs. I beat all the high scores along with the side missions like the orb hunts.i don't know how I'm still missing 18...I don't want to start the game all over again.

[@barbarakarolynn5125]

How do you kill the metal heads when your on the jet board? I just keep getting thrown off lol

[@KBABZ]

You can press the O button to throw a shockwave that deals the same damage as a normal punch!

[@barbarakarolynn5125]

KBABZ thank you!

[@bigdude7490]

I’m having trouble with the sewer levels from the orbs from passage to the port can I go back there or not? Because I can’t seem to get back to that area.

[@KBABZ]

Passage to Port SHOULD be the airlock in the scorpion-infested area you first arrived in. It is not the airlock you used after beating the Precursor Robot boss, it'll be just a bit North of that past a canal.

[@bigdude7490]

Thanks wouldn’t have found it without your help

[@gabegumus]

Do you have to restart the game after you finish to get some orbs or r all of them possible to get even after u beat the game

[@KBABZ]

No you don't! All of these can be collected even after you finish the story.

[@gabegumus]

KBABZ thank you I had to redo jak 2 so platnium took me a month lol but appreciate it

[@gabegumus]

Hey I got the orb by the turret challenge and it gave me the orb but I still have the challenge to do it says but no orb is there so what should I do?

[@KBABZ]

Just climb up the ladder and play the turret minigame again?

[@davidpetrovic3576]

Bro i finished all challenges and collected all of the orbs from this video and still missing 21 orb. Where did i miss them i don't get it..

[@OLC62]

Are any of the sewer orbs missable, or can you go back for them? I may have missed the first section

[@KBABZ]

You can but you'll have to enter it using the same door as the first time around, which you can't do until you access the Ruined Stadium just before the end of the game. The other two sewer sections are a bit weird, because the exit of Sewer 3 is the entrance of Sewer 2. What that means is that if you exit Sewer 3, then turn around and go back in, you'll enter Sewer 2! Totally unintuitive.

[@seasgarage]

This is a H of a lot easier with invulnerability and infinite ammo! Walk right through electric walls, dont have to worry about being knocked off the hoverboard, can spray endless needles.... Just dont save over your old game if you go hero mode. You loose all your orbs. I mean, im just guessing. I wouldnt know.....

[@FranzMazz11]

Hi, I have a question. In the Monk Temple can I get the orb of those specific missions even once I complete the game? or I can get those orbs only during the specific missions?

[@KBABZ]

You can! All the Orbs in the central chamber can be accessible all at once if you use Light Flight to fly across the three points of the room. The Mission names I added to let you know the earliest point you can collect them.

[@FranzMazz11]

@@KBABZ thank you for your answer. I reached the temple but it seems that the door that permit the access to the room is closed :(
