Jak 3 Cheats For PlayStation 2

  1. Easy win on Hang Time challenge

    In the mission when you must get a high hang time. In stead of doing it the standard way by using jumps in your buggy, get out of you buggy and use the mass invertor it will get you an automatic gold in total hang time (you may have to use the gun more than once) and single hang time.

  2. Jak's New Clothes

    Simply obtain all 600 Precursor Orbs to obtain different colored clothes for Jak. The message, "Congratulation! You found all 600 Precursor Orbs. Enjoy Jak's stylish new duds," will appear on the screen to confirm this.

  3. No Damage from Big Falls

    When you fall from a high place, kick (Circle) shortly before you hit the ground and you won't take any damage from the fall.

  4. Have unlimited Precursor Orbs Secrets

    Let's say you have collected 5 Precursor Orbs and you want all three Level Selects, copy the file with 5 precursor orbs 3 times into the remaining save slots, and activate Act 1 Level Select in the first file. Then activate Act 2 Level Select in the second. Then activate Act 3 Level Select in the third file, and now you can have all three Level Selects!

    NOTE: This trick can be used for the other secrets also.

  5. Unlimited/Easy Precursor Orbs

    Go to any oracle statue and trade metal head skull gems to start an orb search challenge. Go to the orb and wait for the clock to turn to 00:00. Even though it says 00:00, it takes another second for the time to run out (I.E. 00:00 is really 00:00.100) So wait one more second, and then press Square to dash at the orb as soon as time runs out and the mission failed screen comes up. You will get 3 orbs, and be able to retry!

  6. Easy Timed Challenges

    You can use Light Jak's time freezing ability to slow down the clock during challenges while you move around at normal speed.

  7. Skip Missions in Hero Mode

    You can skip some of the starting missions in hero mode. First, turn on the turbo jetboard secret. Then, use the jetboard to jump from island to island by executing the L1 high jump and a forward flip.

  8. Infinite Light Flight

    This glitch happens because light shield terminates a combo. To exploit it, Simply use Light Flight, then immediatley Light Shield, Light Flight, Light Shield, etc. You can gain an infinite amount of altitude (height) with this glitch, and go over walls or through some ceilings.

  9. Debug Menu Cheats
