Baron Praxis may have been a ruthless dictator, but he was never a coward.

This was actually an insane twist.. especially when you realized Kor as a human looked similar to the hair structure of the monster from the rift gate

When I first played it on the PS2 when I was younger, I actually didn't piece together he was the Metal Head leader. It made his earlier moments in game just seem either awkward (like his mandible limbs twitching under his robes which Daxter mistakes as a boner) or an under-reaction. After learning he was the big bad, everything he did was ten times funnier because you have to wonder what his thought process was in certain moments. It made every one of his scenes a "I know what you did there" moment for me afterwards.

As a kid this twist was crazy because Praxis was the main villain the entire game. So much focus was on Jak getting his revenge that I completely forgot about the Metalhead leader. This is how you do a traitor reveal.

That line makes it clear what kind of man Baron Praxis is. He never cared about protecting his people, he just didn't want to lose his power. He used the precursor stone to make a powerful bomb that would destroy everything incase he lost.

He’s fantastic especially in the confrontation scene right before the final boss battle.

0:40-0:50 Say what you will about baron Praxus but he can sure be an inspirational/crazy tyrant! His KGs at first were backing away in fear but after the baron's little words of "inspiration" there all like; *"charge"!* Or maybe it was more like; *"welp were dead anyway, becuase of the baron's big mouth were so boned! Might as well try to get a lick in or two"!* Probably the latter one.

This scene is peak Jak and Daxter.

Jak 2 is a game that gets a lot of flack and I can get some of the criticism, especially how Haven City is too big and empty......but the story is really solid, and this twist was executed well. When you play a second time and keep an eye out for Kor you start to see how they were dropping quite a few hints, kind of like with Master Miller in MGS1

Yeah driving in Jak 2 is tedious, it's not as fun as navigating like in Jak 1 and there aren't fun veichles like in Jak 3, if they are going to remake it I think they should add more things to do in the city, other than mission hubs all you do are secondary missions that you could also skip and nothing would change.

"Any leader worth his salt always has his backup plan. Remember, the first rule in making a bomb is to always make two." One of my favorite quotes from the Jak and Daxter trilogy!

"Are you feelin g it now mr krabs? (x5)" So you want to know if i can feel it? "Yeah!" "Cause i can feel it, you want to know what i'm feeling?" "YEAH!" 0:50

I like to imagine after we left Sandover in Jak 2 the warrior in Rock Village took the hero role until Mar and his actual name was Praxis. I'll keep dreaming of my Jak 4.

29% Jax and Daxter remaining 99%: Moar krabs

Wish we got a true boss battle with Praxis. We only fought him in his vehicles, which made it less impactful. If the jak series ever gets a remake, a mano a mano boss with Praxis should be added. Maybe expand this cutscene with Praxis surviving Kor's blast, and having him see jak once kor escapes. Jak will ask for the location of the stone, and Praxis refuses to tell him. A boss commences with Praxis using his sword as attacks and once you drain his health all the way, Praxis succumbs to his wound from kor and gives his bomb speech as his final words

This is why in my mind only the Wasteland and destruction of the Palace bits of Jak 3 happened, but I largely ignore the game’s story the same way that Jak X, the true sequel to Jak II, does.

Back in the 2000's, its was common in games that initially there was someone who was presented to be the villains but at some point in the story another one reveals to be the true antagonist.

When I got to this cutscene in the PS3 trilogy collection the cutscene had a glitch where Kor’s face was black

Khor is my favorite villain.

im not surprised about the final boss what gave him away to me was the color of his forhead his beard and his blue robe i really wish that they would change his old man design tiny bit simular as samos the green sage he has the same skin color as the grunts in the city and change the color of his outfit to black make him mystierious in a way instead of being lazy.
