Jak II's manual and end credits feature a standard In Memoriam dedication for Morgan, but there are two more hidden tributes in the game. There is a green neon sign spelling Morgan's name written in the Precurian language inside the Hip Hog Saloon located to the left from the door. Additionally, in the Power Station in New Haven City, a set of random scrolling Precurian messages can be found on the large computer monitor. Translating these to English will reveal the following:
• "Morgan I miss you"
• "Morgan"
• "Thirteen years hard time"
• "There will never be another"
• "Good dog"
• "I will always love you"
Another message can be found on computer screens you can view at eye-level, which reads "Morgan is still missed even after a year has passed". These computer screen messages are re-used on the monitors in both the Power Station and the Freedom League buildings in Jak 3. Since Morgan's death, Naughty Dog have credited more pets as members of their team and/or company mascots, with the first successor being a Labrador puppy named Osiris who first appeared in the credits of the first Jak and Daxter game alongside Morgan.

There is a Precursor orb hidden out of bounds underneath the Underport stage that can be collected using a documented hovering glitch with the JET-Board found in both this game and Jak 3, or through the game's debug mode.

During development, early ideas for new eco powers revolved around time manipulation. Although unused in the final version of the game, these eco powers are present in a preview build - Jak would've been able to manipulate time by accelerating it (increasing his movement and firing speed), decelerating it (slowing enemies down), or stopping it altogether.

One mission went completely unused in the final build of the game, having Jak and Torn protect the city wall from a Metal Head invasion. The fight would end with Torn revealing his tatoos symbolize the guards' loyalty to the city.
The mission is present in a preview build of the game, complete with character dialogue and ending cutscene.

"Construction Site" is a relatively unimportant level in the game, with only a cutscene being played there and little else for the player to do. It is very likely, however, that this level was at one point meant to have a bigger role in the game. The level has a lot of collision at places that are not normally reachable, and there are text entries for unused mission names, including "Climb Construction Site" and "Find Baron at Construction Site"

Sandover Village can be accessed and explored though a glitch in the first cutscene. However, since the area was only meant to be used in said cutscene, the village does not have any characters and the levels Forbidden Jungle, Geyser Rock, Misty Island, Sentinel Beach, and Fire Canyon are inaccessible as there is nothing to call up for these areas.
