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.
In some of the Jak and Daxter games, there are hidden pictures of the game developers.

In [[Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy]], there is a texture file called <code>fin-leafygroundBACKdirt.png</code> in the <code>finalboss-vis-tfrag<,/code> textures folder which contains a hidden face baked into the image. The texture repeatedly appears in the mountainous landscape surrounding the dark eco silo at the final boss fight. It is difficult to see during the final boss fight since everything is dark and purple, but it is easily viewable from the silo after completing the boss fight and the weather becomes clear again.

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|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.

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 [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/42514673?t=00h23m06s Sultra's WR the earliest known footage of the skip].
 
Since the cutscene ""bubble"" can be avoided easily after activation, the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQjWc85rTWg 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."

In Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, there is a texture file called fin-leafygroundBACKdirt.png in the finalboss-vis-tfrag<,/code> textures folder which contains a hidden face baked into the image. The texture repeatedly appears in the mountainous landscape surrounding the dark eco silo at the final boss fight. It is difficult to see during the final boss fight since everything is dark and purple, but it is easily viewable from the silo after completing the boss fight and the weather becomes clear again.
