It is usually found as either orbs or crystals. It also flows out of vents throughout the world. Depending on the type of Eco, it can give Jak different abilities.
Blue Eco: It powers all precursor artifacts and it makes Jak move twice as fast. Green Eco and precursor orbs are drawn to him when he is powered with blue Eco.
Green Eco: It fills your health bar. Fifty small pieces or 1 full piece equals ¼ of Jak’s health. It is also used to destroy dark Eco plants.

Don’t worry, you do not need to collect all of them to beat the game. You can easily keep track of how many objects you found so far by looking at the menu when you pause the game.
Power Cells: You need these objects to power the heat shield for your Zoomer. You can either earn power cells by either buying them from the locals, or by completing the missions in each area.
Precursor Orbs: These orbs can be found all over the place, from the spooky Misty Island, to metal boxes on the beach. You need to collect as many as possible to buy power cells from the villagers (90 per power cell) and Precursor Statues (120 per power cell)
Scout Flies: Kiera sent these robots out to find power cells, but the Lurkers found them all and put them in red boxes. There are 7 scout flies in each area and when you find all seven of them, you receive a power cell.
