Massive Explosion
This only works when you are in "Dark Jak" mode. When you are in this mode, press X to jump and hit square while you are in the air. This will make Jak come down head first into the ground, causing a massive explosion destroying everything around him. This works really well when you have a lot of metal-heads or any other creatures attacking you.

How To Transform Into Dark Jak
To transform into the tougher, more powerful Dark Jak, you must first collect tons of dark eco. You this by destroying many metal heads and other creatures. (If you kill a person, purple stuff comes out of them but you won't get any eco.) Once you get enough eco, the picture of Jak in the health meter will turn into Dark Jak. Hold L2 to activate Dark Jak. Dark Jak is strong enough to kick away vehicles and if you collect metal head gems, you can go to an oracle to increase Dark Jak's powers.

Escape Metal Heads At Dead Town
When Torn tells you to go to Dead Town in order to take out all the Metal Heads, you will have to do that like he says. But once you have found Somos' hut, more of them will flud in and attack you. Use the spread gun to kill the onslaught of the smaller, and more obnocious little digging Metal Heads. Then a group of regular ones will turn the corner and attack you. Use the second gun that Krew gave you on them. Once you have killed them all, look over the ledge and you will see the land very close to the escape. Jump down. It will take a little life away, but it's worth it.

Dark Tornado
If you've gotten enough Metal Head gems to visit the Oracle for the second time, then you will get another REALLY POWERFULL dark power. When you turn into Dark Jak, you'll be able to spin around, and around, and around, then zap all your enemies to oblivion. When you do this move all of time stands still except you while you kill everyone within 20 ft. of you.

Protect Haven City From Metal Head Invasion
In one level, you must protect Haven City from an onslaught of Metal Heads that come via air ship. Make sure that you are able to become dark Jak at short notice. The onslaught will come in fast, so get out your best gun. At the time I think it's the Vulcan. Fight them off for a short amount of time, then turn to Dark Jak. Use the Massive explosion to finish them off quickly.

Defeating Metal Head Leader
Begin by taking out your blaster and kill all the enemies. Then, shoot him repeatedly until more Metal Heads appear. Repeat this as many times as needed until he gets in the red. When he gets in the red, he will jump off the string things and will be on the ground. Avoid him until he shoots three lasers at you. He should now be on the other side of you. Take out the Peace Maker and shoot him. Repeat this as many times needed to defeat the Metal Head leader and complete the game. When the battle starts, take out your Vulcan gun and fire at the Leader until he charges a shot. Get out of the way. Switch to your Blaster and run around the area, firing at the Leader occasionally. Take out the bugs if they get too close; otherwise stay away from them. When you get to phase two (one third of his health is gone), continue firing at him until the flying Metal Heads approach you. If you have enough Eco, turn into Dark Jak. Take some of the lesser enemies then do a Dark Blast close to the Leader (takes about half a health bar). Repeat the earlier process until the Leader starts running around. Continue running until his blasts are coming from the side instead of behind. Turn and blast him. Repeat to win.

Defeating The Baron
When fighting the Baron for the first time, he will be in a shielded ship attacking you. At first he will fire in straight lines at you. Dodge these. After three shots, his shield will break. Shoot him with your Blaster. Repeat until one third of his health is gone, then get out of the way as he charges to the next area. Follow him and reload with the ammo in nearby crates. This time he will fire missiles at you, which follow where you run. Keep running to avoid these. After two missile attacks, fire at him. Repeat until another one third of his health is gone. Then, follow him to the last area. His shield is now gone; fire when you can. He will send fiery tornadoes at you. Shoot him until he runs away. When fighting the Baron in Mar's Tomb, pull out the Scatter gun and shoot the mech spiders that he sends at you. When all of them are gone, he will fire bombs at you. Knock them back at him with a spin attack. Aim carefully to hit him. Four bombs will take one third of his health away. He will send more spiders at you. Hide behind the pillars to avoid being shot by the Baron. Knock four more bombs his way. He will get the Precursor Stone. Again, stay behind the pillars to avoid him. He will take out sections of the walkway and shoot only two bombs. If you can turn into Dark Jak, do so and use a Dark Bomb to finish him. Otherwise, knock the bombs into him. However aiming will be much harder now; act fast and the battle will be yours. Note: When you defeat Baron Praxis (in the Tomb of Mar) and leave Mar's tomb, you will start to see yellow Krimson Guards. The only difference is that they take more hits to kill.

More Ammunition
To get more ammo for any of your guns without getting caught, do the following. Make sure you are in a place where there are Krimzon Guards (for example, Haven City). Steal a zoomer from anyone. Accelerate (press X) at a Krimzon Guard, and when it is about to hit him, get off (press Triangle). Keep on doing this about four to five times to get ammo. Also, to refill your ammo at any time during a game, go to Haven City and go to the Gun Course. It is in the Port; look for a Zoomer parked outside a door. Go inside to the first room where there are several Krimzon Guard Crates. Smash them to find an assortment of ammo. You rarely (if at all) will find Peace Maker ammo. If you do not max out your ammo in one shot. Go outside, go to the Hip Hog Saloon, return to the Gun Course, and the Krimzon Guard Crates should have regenerated.
