Red Sage Cutscene Skip and Blue Sage Cutscene Skip: Difference between pages

Revision as of 02:08, 16 February 2024

The blue sage cutscene skip is a cutscene skip in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy that opens the portal in the blue sage's hut without having to watch the cutscene.

Tutorial

Technical

Opening the portal in the blue sage's hut will cause three events to happen:

The zoomer will spawn at Precursor Basin
Flut Flut will spawn in Boggy Swamp
Keira will move the boulder once you bring her 45 power cells

By performing a pause buffer before opening the portal in the blue sage's hut, the cutscene will attempt to play but will be interrupted by the pause menu appearing. From here, the player can save and load. The cutscene that was just "skipped" is actually queued to play once Jak is within a certain radius around the hut. Instead, doing another pause buffer will allow Jak to walk towards Precursor Basin without having to watch the queued cutscene. And since the portal was opened, the 3 events listed above will be active.

Full Skip

Although the cutscene is not fully skipped in the most commonly used method, there is a way to skip it entirely.

Discovery

Blue sage cutscene skip was a collaborative effort by Sultra, blahpy, and Kuitar.

Other Notes

headstrong claims that she was taught the original partial skip by Sultra through word of mouth, and that there was no video of the skip originally, which makes Sultra's WR the earliest known footage of the skip.

Since the cutscene ""bubble"" can be avoided easily after activation, the full Blue Sage's hut cutscene skip found little use as it was slower than partial versions of the skip once Pause Buffers were implemented."

-'''Red sage cutscene skip''' is a skip in [[Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy]] that allows a player to skip the cutscene that plays after opening the teleport gate in the Red Sage's lab.
-To activate the gondola, the Red Sage teleport gate must be opened and 2 power cells need to be collected afterwards.

-The skip is performed by using a [[Pause Buffer|pause buffer]] to delay the start of the cutscene once it is triggered. Jak then dies in the lava during the pause buffer and the cutscene starts after the player exits the start menu. The game attempts to play the cutscene but cannot since Jak is in a dead state. Once Jak respawns, the cutscene is flagged as watched and the game will assume the teleport gate has been opened as intended.

-[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdI2KtrjPSY This is the original Red Sage's Hut Cutscene Skip]. Due to it's difficulty and length, it was not well received. (January 25, 2015)
