Statue glitch is a softlock that occurs when Jak's character model completely freezes in place, with the exception of blinking eyes. The glitch can occur in different ways and in all three games of the main trilogy, but the only known ways to consistently trigger it are in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. The only known ways to exit statue glitch are reloading your save file, using free cam in debug mode, or resetting your console.

The following are known ways to consistently trigger statue glitch:

  • by shooting yellow eco while grounded with dupe state active.
  • by deloading a mirror in Forbidden Jungle during the animation of Jak looking into it.

Statue glitch is not exclusive to just Jak. On rare occasions, and for unknown reasons, the Sculptor's Muse can experience the statue glitch in Misty Island.

Discovery

It is unknown who discovered or experienced statue glitch first since it could potentially happen to anyone during casual play. Consistent statue glitch with the use of dupe state was discovered by Ruh on February 23, 2019.

Other Notes

It is entirely possible someone had this happen before Sultra, but this is the earliest footage of the glitch. It is thought to be caused by repeatedly re-loading Misty Island, most often done when practicing the level or doing individual level speedruns. (April 10, 2014)

Freezing the Muse has the same cause as freezing Jak, however the cause behind other examples of frozen collectables are not fully understood, although likely similar. (May 4, 2014)

It was later discovered that entering dupe state and trying to use yellow eco would consistently trigger the statue glitch. (February 23, 2019)
