Jak and Daxter HD Collection - Jak 1 - Part 21: Snowy Mountain - Yellow Eco Vent Switch & Two Rams

This video covers most of the collectibles in Snowy Mountain, including but not limited to the somewhat hidden Yellow Eco vent switch, two battering ram lurkers, and a plethora of barrier buttons. In case it wasn't obvious, yes, those snowy lurkers with the wolf pelts really do respawn infinitely. 0:56 - Those icicle enemies are pretty unique considering how few of them there are in the game. In fact, those might be the least common enemy that's not a boss. Even if they are not, there certainly aren't that many similar enemies in this game. Dealing with the ice in this game is harder than it may seem. The controls for icy stuff in the Crash Bandicoot games was much better and smoother, in my opinion. 5:02 - Just proving that you MUST be charged with Red Eco in order to fight these shield-wielding lurkers operating the battering rams. No matter how many times you smack them, it just doesn't matter while they have a shield. Fortunately, Red Eco vents are close to each of the three in this level. 5:24 - Despite being considered "hidden", the path to the Yellow Eco vent switch really isn't that well hid. Besides the entrance being rather conspicuous and unusual in and of itself, Willard (as shown earlier) will tell you about the location if you've bought all four Power Cells from him and Gordy and if you've cleared the gnawing lurkers in Spider Cave. The Yellow Eco Power Cells in Mountains Pass and Volcanic Crater are far better examples of truly "hidden" Cells. I'm not normally the kind of person to point out this sort of thing, but the precursor pistons in the path to the vent switch always looked very... "suggestive" to me. I still wonder whether that was a bizarre coincidence or if somebody purposefully snuck that in a more kid-friendly game. 9:45 - I have no idea whether you're supposed to be able to do that, but you can and it's surely great for saving some time by more quickly heading to an important area.
