I watched another video where they did the same thing but actually slammed into Erol when the race started, blowing his hover up and completely taking him out of the race.
Towards the end, yea the difficulty spikes drastically. Beat this game as a kid years ago. Turned 30 this year and I’m honestly surprised I beat this mf
The capture card makes the PS2 version look really good, not PS3 HD quality, but still really good. DSP eventually did it, after many restarts, but it would have been so much faster if he did this. Good stuff!
Unfortunately this glitch has been patched on the ps4 version, but if you care only about finishing the mission and not getting gold;you can easily do it by just driving carefully, AI is always on your neck for some reason even when you're going very fast, but it doesn't overtake you if you don't crash.
That is 100% true. You can be as fast as the light Errol will be catching you, but if you brake at every corner and do not crash, he will pretend he is struggling to get you. Strange..
I found a weird way to destroy racer during this mission. Sometimes opponent get stuck by driving part of wall when turning, but if you keep driving it just get spawn back to track. However, if you stay stopped close enough to stucked opponent it stay stucked. This causes another glitch. When hover keep driving on wall it actually get wall damage and it destroys opponent in few minutes. This may sound crazy, but it works when you understand.
He is only slowed down when he is on screen. Due to the rubber banding of the AI, when he is off screen, he is simply teleporting all over the place at a rate analogous to the progression of the player. Get it? He's not actually racing/driving, just being teleported depending on how well the player is doing. With that in mind, the best way to do this race consistently is to simply be a better driver and don't crash into things. Use hopping as a way to make your turns sharper and be careful of pedestrians, bare in mind some are solid and can send you off course, others are not. This is random so be careful of all pedestrians. Your performance is all that matters in this race.
I kind of did notice the rubber banding - stupid mechanics. The flaming vehicle still slows him down, but I see what you're saying. Maybe do what the guy below, taco ninja said by hitting erol after he is flaming to kill him.
I’ve just now found out I can’t hit the vehicle as dark jak but if you simply wait till a crimson guard vehicle passes take cover behind erol’s vehicle the blaster shots will rough it up and give the same effect
My advice if you're 124%ing this game: don't worry about Erol. There are a lot of turns where you have to jump (L1 or R1), and you can't scrape a lot of things. Erol doesn't take advantage of the faster turning, so you can escape him very easily. If you make the turns right, you'll get gold and thus beat Erol by about 7 seconds. This is coming from someone who already got 124% on it and is trying to do so again. And if you're aiming to get gold, you MUST not miss a ring on your first attempt to get through one. No cheats necessary to beat Erol :]
I'm watching this video from Japan right now! Jack and Daxter hasn't been released in Japan since the third film. I hope there will be a fourth one someday.
Even easier than this, if you miss a ring you know you can just miss all the other rings and you won't fail the mission. Just get to the stadium without going through any of the other rings after you miss one.
@@soultribeatl6854 You don’t fail the mission after missing a ring. You fail the mission when you miss a ring and then go through another without going back into the one you missed. So just miss all of the rings.
@@KevinGomez-fz1yg know your comment is old but you are wrong. Speed runners have taken advantage of that same trick. You can miss a ring but do not hit any more till you get to the stadium.
@@TheAireaidLord have ya done Debug mode in jak an dexter I’ve used it an went right to the end skip the Training jak 2 an 3 has debug mode try it sometime😎
The trick is to use the glitch take it kind of slow and easy and make sure that you are lined up where you want to go each time you hit one of those checkpoints cuz it's also a booster and will throw you off if you're not careful after that easy selling LOL.
THIS, this is the best way if you just care about completing the goddamn mission and not get the gold, since the dark jak glitch has been patched on ps4. They programmed eron in a way that he is always behind your back no matter how fast you go , like you could go extra fast and cut all corners with the r1 trick, you crush once and you're fucked, if you drive slowly instead, braking carefully after every tight curve, somehow he doesn't pass you...... really shows how unbalanced this game is.
Hi pal, I did this glitch, I have the invincibility power (btw, if I recall well, you need 200 gems for that), but it doesn't working. What I doing wrong? To the AI it seems doesn't affect that the vehicle it's in flames. It catch me very, VERY fast. Since the beginning it's right in my ass ;_;
Maybe you're not damaging it enough? If it's weak you can also hit it when its near death and destroy it after you start the race. Tough but no impossible
Dude no offence but this game has sh!t level layout bad hover car controls makes every single driving racing mission a stressful chore i hate this game who ever designed that cramped city should have been fired lol for real no joke
I watched another video where they did the same thing but actually slammed into Erol when the race started, blowing his hover up and completely taking him out of the race.
I'd recommend that if you can do it. Thing is if you miss and whiff, then you'll have to start over
My ps vita nearly went Out the window
Raptorjesuslives do u want to play ps vita
I played the PS Vita version and still won it took a few tries but I got it
Broke it over knee like the clip board in substitute teacher
Wtf playing that on that shit
Bruh mine too lmao
Nearly every mission in this f'ing game is a struggle
nah not every mission. There are some easy ones
Ide say a majority of the missions are easy
Towards the end, yea the difficulty spikes drastically. Beat this game as a kid years ago. Turned 30 this year and I’m honestly surprised I beat this mf
As a kid lmfao
Another thing you can do is push him into the lake. Though, he usually cheats to get out of the lake.
This is the best game ever i still have nightmares of these race missions
Yoooooo thanks bro! 8 years later I need this lmao! Replaying Jak 2
The capture card makes the PS2 version look really good, not PS3 HD quality, but still really good. DSP eventually did it, after many restarts, but it would have been so much faster if he did this. Good stuff!
Ps2 looks really good anyways!
Looks better on ps2 actually

Damn i was looking in comments to see if it worked on ps4...that sucks i ALWAYS struggle with this mission....
That is 100% true.

If only DSP watched this, he wouldn’t have sucked so bad at this part.
I tried this but Erol still catches up to me, regardless of his Zoomer's state.
I’ve just now found out I can’t hit the vehicle as dark jak but if you simply wait till a crimson guard vehicle passes take cover behind erol’s vehicle the blaster shots will rough it up and give the same effect
I just like beating him fair & square because of how certain he is he will win
That moment, when you win the race, and you missed the gold medal by 478ms... Fuuuuuuuu

Just take the cars of the other People and put it in Front of erol

Woah, cool glitch.
I watched DSP try this, and the very first video on my reccomended after that was this. :D
Lol
This the only race I enjoy since that trick was useful
if you have Erol zoomer Damaged you can crash em into the wall an he’ll Explode an you can keep on going
yeah I've seen the tip, it's harder to pull that off so this is an easier strategy
@@TheAireaidLord have ya done Debug mode in jak an dexter I’ve used it an went right to the end skip the Training jak 2 an 3 has debug mode try it sometime😎
great video, hope i'll beat him now

you could repetly press to transform into dark jak near vehicle instead to transform into it.
Just drive slowly and safely, I did it and won on my 1st try.

@@dojimanoryu4969 yes the game is very unbalanced, I had to finish some missions using the debug.
@Ruthless Attitude Entertainment stfu
@@dojimanoryu4969 Its one mission. Thats not a whole game being unbalanced
Did it almost won but then i missed a ring 🙄
Or when you go on the turns
Turn really hard and jump right before you hit a ring and you’ll go faster
How did you play a mission with ur cheats
You can replay all the races after beating the game and unlocking cheats.
I appreciate this tip. Very helpful. But it did take longer to explain than needed.
Loool I did this to Errol and the Crimson guards fucking killed him
Darksidephil has your ps3?
Oof
I can't gather enough skulls to get dark jak invulnerability):
This doesn't work on Erol. This only works on the underground racer.
Hi pal, I did this glitch, I have the invincibility power (btw, if I recall well, you need 200 gems for that), but it doesn't working. What I doing wrong? To the AI it seems doesn't affect that the vehicle it's in flames. It catch me very, VERY fast. Since the beginning it's right in my ass ;_;
Maybe you're not damaging it enough? If it's weak you can also hit it when its near death and destroy it after you start the race. Tough but no impossible
I managed to kill it once, but I died too, HAHAHA!
If only i knew this before wasting half an hour of losing thanks UA-cam recomendations
Anyway i still got the gold medal
i appreciate youtube for recommending my video
Don't look at me I'm just here bragging about how I already beat this without any help
gave your copy to DSP hahahahahahahaahaha
even with cheating, erol will still win
dude still loses hah ggs erol
What dose invincibility do to it. Can't u just do normal dark jak
normal dark jak won't damage the vehicle. Invincibility damages other things jak stands next to.
Dude no offence but this game has sh!t level layout bad hover car controls makes every single driving racing mission a stressful chore i hate this game who ever designed that cramped city should have been fired lol for real no joke
hahahaha
realy a super stupid mission u have to cheat to win cuz how bonker the ai is
you can do it without cheating its just hard
@@TheAireaidLord Just did it with the skip bugg really ez used the damage+skip it was walk in a park thx for the vid
