In Jak II, the time map is one of two essential items needed for the rift rider constructed by Keira Hagai. It is hidden by Krew in the Metal Head Mash game. After Daxter defeats the game, Tess takes the artifact to Keira while Jak and Daxter go to help Sig in the Underport. After using it to travel to the past, the duo finds it again at the end of The Precursor Legacy together with the rift gate and rift rider.
