If you are searching for hints on the hidden Power Cell at the entrance to the spider cave please note that this hidden powercell counts towards the totals of the Volcanic Crater. Please read on there.

• Use your Goggles to shoot the Gnawing Lurkers
• Destroy the Dark Eco Crystals
• Explore the Dark Cave
• Climb the Giant Robot
• Launch up to the Poles
• Navigate through the Spider Tunnel
• Climb the Precursor Platforms
• Free the 7 Scout Flies

Well, you have to hit the lurkers too of course.
Actually you have to hit each of these gnawing lurkers twice before they die and the hit counts towards the power cell you want to have. At first they drop orbs when they die, the last gnawing lurker drops the power cell.
In the entry cave, where the gnawing lurkers are, there are 3 yellow eco vents at all. To be able to use the yellow Eco you first have to activate the yellow Eco in Snowy Mountain. Once you are loaded up on Yellow Eco look through your goggles by pressing and then aim for the gnawing lurkers.


There are 5 different dark eco crystals hidden in the spider cave and now you have to find all dark eco crystal locations. To destroy such a dark eco crystal you have to either shoot it with yellow eco or just touch it somehow. Sadly you cannot throw Daxter at the dark Eco Crystal. If you touch it you start a countdown and the crystal will explode afterwards, so you better run away fast.
You can find the dark eco crystals at the following locations:

• Dark Eco-Crystal 1
  On the ceiling of the entry cave. You can get to it via the platforms that hover around up there or you just shoot it just like you shoot the gnawing lurkers. Aim with your goggles.
  
  
• Dark Eco-Crystal 2
  On the way from the entry cave to the construction site you have to cross a dark eco lake. There are 2 spidernets in the lake on which you can jump. On the side of all this you can find another dark eco crystal.
  
  
• Dark Eco-Crystal 3
  High up in the entry cave a little to the left of the actual entrance (seen from inside the spider cave) you will find a way to another dark eco lake. You take the same route when you are searching for the dark cave with all the glowing crystals. There are 4 platforms floating on the lake. On the side of the lake is the 3rd Dark Eco-Crystal. You can reach it via the precursor plattforms or you just shoot it with Yellow Eco to make it explode. Shooting it is far more easier.
  
  
• Dark Eco-Crystal 4
  From the lake with the 4 plattforms at the entrance to the dark cave you can see the scout fly 4 on the right side. And right begind the scout fly is another dark eco lake. Use a rolling jump to cross it and then dive deep into the water behind. Down here hides the fourth dark eco crystal.
  
  
• Dark Eco-Crystal 5
  Again close to the Dark Eco Crystal 4 is Dark Eco Crystal 5. Enter the dark cave, you know, the cave with the glowing crystals you have to punch and search for the glowing crystal 4. Next to it is a water pond. Dive into the pond and destroy the 5th dark eco crystal. Right after the pond you will find the scout fly 5.

High up in the entry cave a little to the left of the actual entrance from vulcanic crater you will find a dark eco lake, some dark eco crystals and the dark cave.
Punch every crystal you find and it will start to glow. Now you can go on to the next and punch it too.
If you are waiting in front of a elevator platform punch the crystal again, otherwise you will end up in darkness.


On the construction site you have to find a way up to the top of the scaffolding. Once you are up at the power cell take a look down to the right and you can see the scout fly 6.
And I found a small shortcut so that you don't have to climb up ALL the way:
From the entry to the construction site you take a walk to the right, to the farthest corner, there is an elevator going up and down. You can jump over to the elevator with a timed rolljump and save some time. This is useful if you fell off the scaffolding and don't want to fight through everything again. If you only take this way you might miss some Orbs though.


Go to the back left corner of the construction site. There you can load up on blue eco and then jump down into the darkness to the blue platform.
There is also an elevator platform going down here, but this is too slow and you have no more blue eco left once you are down and can't superjump from the blue platform on the ground.
So you made the jump and were lucky enough to hang on one of the poles now and swing around it now. Jump off from the pole at the moment when Jak's feet are on top and grab onto another pole above. Collect the 3 blue ecos and all the orbs around here and then swing on towards the exit of the cave. This is the direction to the power cell you are searching for.


So you have to find your way through the spider tunnel in this task.
If you come down the wooden footway don't go towards the construction site but turn around and get back where you just came from but on the lower ground. You have to jump over 3 spidernets into a cave, and this is the spidertunnel.
Run through here as fast as you can and grab the power cell at the end and the get out really quick. Do so by grabbing the blue eco and then jump out via the blue platform.


Find a way up to the top of the entry cave, this is the first cave you step in and not the one with the scaffolding. Up there you can see hundreds of platforms that all move somewhere somehow. And you have to get into the middle of the room via these platforms somehow now.
In the middle a platform goes up and down all the time. With this platform you can reach a small solid platform on which the power cell is waiting for you.
From here you can also destroy the first dark eco crystal!
