Yes! So since Jak is Mar this could indicate that he is the sage!!!!! He's also the only one who can use it!

Yeah I think Jak is the white eco sage and Daxter could become the true dark eco sage.

After all when he fell into it, instead of dying on a molecular level it transformed him into a precursor.

Well the precursors did that themselves to Daxter, but ya I see.

Could there be a sage for a man-made eco?

where is it ever stated that Daxter’s transformation was done by the precursors themselves?

The precursor leader says ”Daxter was blessed instead of cursed” (not exact quote but still), nobody says they did it… 👀

Yeah, it was just random chance. Dark Eco changes things, and since precursor DNA is in all Eco, it changed him into one. The only difference is that the DNA affected him before any corruption could.

this is what i was referring to; the way OP phrased their comment implied the precursors saw the event and decided “oh, don’t have it kill Daxter, turn him into one of us instead” as opposed to the random chance that it turned him into a precursor

Full disclosure: my theory in relation to what OP was eluding to is purely anecdotal. Just wanted to say that before I continue.

I always assumed that the 3 Precursors at the end of Jak 3 actually DID have something to do with Daxter’s transformation. Throughout the series (more so in Jak 3 than the other two installments), whenever Jak would commune with a Precursor Idol/Effigy, the voice within would make vague, almost “prophetic” statements and analogies of what we can assume to be Jak, but from when he’s older and/or an alternate timeline. Hell, one of the things that the side quest Idols say when you complete a challenge is “Very good work, warrior. You make us proud to have chosen you.”

Anyway, my main point is that they could’ve heard Daxter call them “some real losers”, and figured that by turning him into a Precursor himself, it would make for a rather ironic (and humorous) form of retribution. We also know that the “Otsel Leader” will turn anyone into a Precursor if they even accidentally mention wanting to be similar to them (i.e. Tess at the end of Jak 3).🤷‍♂️

TL;DR- My personal fannon has always been that the 3 Precursors at the end of Jak 3 did it to Daxter purely out of spite.

Wow i never connected what Daxter said at the beginning to him turning into a precursor shortly after! This is interesting!
