Jax Daxter Bug Adventures

Melee weapon, an extermination tank, which sprays green eco based bug of Daxter.

The game Jax Daxter Adventures takes place in the final months of the two-year gap presented in the opening of Jak II,

between the moment when Jak is taken prisoner by the Krimzon Guard and the time in which Heroes finally rescues him from the Krimzon Guard Fortress.

The introduction shows Jak being captured, while Daxter manages to escape.

Almost two years later (having no luck with rescuing Jak), Heroes has forgotten all about finding his friend.

An old man named Osmo, whom Heroes meets, hires Heroes as an exterminator working in various parts of Haven City,

and occasionally its environs, to exterminate bug-like Metal Heads referred to in-game as 'Metal Bugs'.

During his adventures, Heroes meets a mysterious woman named Taryn who,

despite being less than impressed by Heroes interest in her, occasionally helps him.

After completing a number of missions for Osmo, Heroes sees Jak in a Prison Zoomer and attempts to chase after it.

After being cornered by some Krimzon Guards (who had noticed Daxter's pursuit),

Daxters is rescued by Osmo's son Ximon, who assists him with several more missions including one to Baron Praxis' palace where Daxter steals a map of the Fortress,

the prison where Jak is being held. After returning to the extermination shop,

an arthropod sidekick that Heroes acquired earlier is killed by Kaeden, a bitter man who seemingly wants to steal Osmo's shop,

but, in actuality, is working for Kor, the Metal Head leader.

When Heroes tries to stop Kaeden from escaping the shop, Kaeden suddenly blows up the shop with a bomb he placed in the shop earlier.

Heroes and Osmo survive, and Daxter promises to stop Kaeden, but only after he rescues Jak.

Heroes infiltrates the Fortress and finds Kaeden, who reveals himself to be a giant Metal Bug.

Heroes manages to defeat Kaeden, who tries to warn him that Kor is waiting outside for them,

and then uses a hover platform to begin searching for Jak within the Fortress, leading into the opening cutscene from Jak II.

After this, the game cuts to a point later in the timeline at Daxter's Naughty Ottsel Bar,

where he is recounting the story to Jak, Keira, Samos, Tess, and Taryn.
