Kejim Base  Initial Objectives: *Investigate the hidden section of the Outpost. *Engage Remnant forces in the area. *Rendezvous with Jan and the Raven's Claw. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Imperial Officers Secret Areas: 3 You'll start off with a firefight here, but you can shoot the gas container through the window to lighten the troop density a bit. Get the Security Key from the Imperial, then unlock the door. Disable the turrets. Take the door to your left, then flip the panel to raise the blast shield. Shoot the window out and proceed on through. An Imperial and a couple of odd, floating droid-turrets will be waiting for you in the next room. You can't shoot the droids when they've shielded themselves - you can only damage them when they're prepared to fire back at you. Grab the key from the Imperial, then flip the switches on the control panel to rotate the manipulator arm around in the cold chamber ahead. Smash the window leading into the chamber, then drop down and head through the door on the floor. You can disable the freezing units here. Go back to the cold chamber, but this time hug the wall until you can climb on top of the manipulator arm. Once you reach the top level, crouch and head around the outside of the chamber to find a secret area. Head back around the way you came, and then jump from the lattice walkway to the Ammo Power Converter for another secret area. Once you're back on the walkway, you can go through the door to enter a large area with a pool of electrified water below. Head around the upper level to your right until you can fire through the windows into the small control room. Shoot the explosive container, which will fry the panel nearby, opening the door and extending a walkway. Move into the room, flip the switch, then drop down the lift and look around until you find yourself in an observation room overlooking a large white storage area. Hit the control panel to raise a jumpway to one of the small caches of items around the area. Now, head back to the water room, then proceed down into the white storage area and jump around until you get the items. (This isn't technically required, so feel free to skip it if you just want to get on with the mission.) Now, back in the water room, move around on the lower level until you come to the walkway that lets you access a door opening onto an open shaft. Drop down and crouch through the passage until you reach another largish room. Take a left and proceed into another small observation room to shuffle the floor plans once again. Head back out and into the white room through the now-unlocked door, and nab some more items. Once you're through in there, head back through the previous room and through the door on the other side. There are plenty of troops in the area, so this might be a good time to bust out some of your Thermal Detonators. Once the troops are dead, disable the turret nearby, grab the key from the Imperial, and head down the steps to the brig area. You'll find a platform that takes you up above the prison cells, where you'll encounter another Imperial guarding the locks. Disable the forcefields, then drop down and look around until you find the supply areas, where you can pick up some neato Det Packs. The odd humming sound is coming from a pair of Interrogation Droids that are coming your way. These fellows don't seem to have any distance attacks, so shoot them down before they can get near you and you should be fine. Now walk back past the area where you killed all the Troopers until you come to a locked door. This will open with the security key of the Imperial that was hiding in an alcove across the way. You'll find yourself in an observation room that overlooks one of the rooms you were in earlier. If you're running low on shields, you can get to the shield generator by futzing around with the control panels nearby. Hit the right one once, then the left one three times to blow the shields. Continue on your way through the door, and get ready for a firefight. The blast doors will open automatically, revealing a room full of troopers and an Imperial manning a turret. The Troopers die as easily as they ever do, but you'll have to strafe-fire the Imperial to knock him out of the turret before he can rip you to shreds. Clear the room, and hit the switch in the rear area. Troopers will charge you, so get into the turret and knock them around a bit. Now that the force field is down, proceed into a room with a very odd contraption. The device you're looking at bounces laser beams off the crystal suspension. You'll want to activate the machine, but you'll also want to move the crystal so that the lasers can cut you a passage; you can do both in the small alcove nearby. When the lasers start cutting through the locked door, crouch and move around the perimeter of the room so that you don't get fried. Once you're out of the door, the machine will self-destruct. The next room confronts you with a bit of a puzzle. If you enter the room with the bodies inside it, you'll die almost instantaneously. You should have enough health to dash in and grab the Security Key, however, so do that and unlock the computer panel nearby. This activates a remote-controlled Mouse droid, which you'll need to use to flush the radiation from the next room on. Once you're controlling the Mouse droid, roll it along into the next room, and then zip through the small blue passageway until you locate the machines that are pumping out the radiation. Shut them down, then bring the Mouse droid back through the blue passage. Be sure to hit the obscured computer link device on your way back, however; this unlocks the third secret area. Hit the Jump key to return you to Kyle's body, then proceed through into the formerly irradiated area. Use the Ammo Power Converter to get the final secret area, then proceed through the door and escape the facility through the crystal immersion chamber. 

 

 Artus Mine Objectives: *Infiltrate the mining facility. *Cripple the mining operation. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Imperial Officers *Crabs Secret Areas: 1 Mosey down the valley until you come to a canyon. Drop down and scope out the scene - I don't think the EPA would have many good things to say about the Remnant's environmental policies, given the green sludge that's floating about below. Head off to your right to find a Bowcaster next to a body, but don't fire it yet. Avoid the spotlights off to the left, and head into the room below their spire to deactivate them. Once you've got that done, jump onto the piping that crosses the valley, but watch out for falling pieces. Make your way over to the other side of the valley. The Troopers in the room above are a bit too concentrated for you to risk running in and blasting away, so alert them to your presence and then retreat to the bottom-most walkway above the canyon. As the Stormtroopers pursue you, they'll almost all fall off into the valley below, since the walkways don't have any guardrails - something for their union to take up with OSHA, I imagine. The Remnant better hope they don't get audited, or else there'll be hell to pay in fines. Once you've cleared the Troopers and the Imperial, grab the latter's key and unlocked the door. You've infiltrated the mine successfully. Now clean the next room, and grab the keys from the Imperials. Head down the elevator, but be ready to hit a secret area about halfway down - there's a small passage you can crouch into as you head down, but it's easy to miss, so be sure to save your game ahead of time. You can bomb or snipe the Troopers from above, then head back down to take on the rest of the troops. There are a half-dozen or so soldiers in this storage area, but you won't have much mobility in the doorway, so watch the crossfire. There's only one exit from this room, so head towards the elevator, but watch out for the Troopers that drop down before you can get there. You can get them all with one well-placed Detonator if you're ready. Ride the elevator up and take a left, passing through the rocky mining area. Take a right at the intersection and head down to another room with some Imperials and a few Troopers. Grab the key (you can head back to the rocky area to open the crate, if you wish), then find the doors that lead back out into the canyon. There are two guidelights on posts here - stand between them until the pipe below you extrudes enough for you to jump on it. Do so, then crouch and fall down to the small ledge below. When the pipe retracts, crawl through until you reach the smelting machine. Shoot the power devices along the walls, then blow away the machine itself. Ride on top of the machine to the room above, then climb on one of the barriers so that you can jump on top of one of the moving platforms. Hitch a ride until you reach the small, dark corridor with the green force crystals; this is where you want to jump off. This corridor is dark enough to require the use of light amplification goggles, but it's fairly linear so you shouldn't worry too much about it if you run out of battery power. The little Crabs in the area are troublesome, however, since they move a bit too fast to lead with your Rifle. Use the alternate fire and aim at the ground between you and them to stun them, then finish them off as they stand still. This will deplete almost all of your ammo, probably, but it's better than being turned into critter food. (A few people have pointed out that the Stun Baton is a little more efficient at taking out the Crabs than the Blaster Rifle is.) Once you reach the mining equipment, activate it and start sniping the soldiers below you - the Bowcaster's alternate fire is quite handy at this, if you haven't noticed. Drop onto another of the moving platforms, and head for the bottom of the room. The door nearby leads to some sort of lava-smashing contraption, conveniently placed to allow you access to the upper platforms. The next room over contains a mess of troops, and the mine's powerplant, which you can overload by manipulating a panel nearby. Once it's destroyed, head through the far door to find yourself back in the main storage area of the mine. Take the previous elevator back up to the upper level, but this time take a right. Take out the Troopers and the Crabs, and proceed to the next room, where you'll find a couple of delightfully positioned turrets. Activate the car here to reach the next area of the mission. 

 

Artus Detention Area  Initial Objectives: *Rescue the Miners from the prison. Release the prisoners. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Imperial Officers Secret Areas: 1 Shoot the prisoners in the room you start out in, then climb up the metal bar to reach the panel to unlock the door below. Kill the troopers in the next room, then use another panel to unlock anohter door. You'll find yourself in a large cylindrical prison area, joined by a series of staircases. You'll need to fight off quite a few Trooper ambushes as you progress upward, and there's a surprise in the form of Mobile Turrets on the top level, so be prepared for a firefight. Take another staircase up to the facility's control room, where you'll be able to unlock all the prison doors, as well as activate the fan in the airshaft running up the middle of the room. Go back down the stairs and through the previously locked door. Proceed through and talk to the prisoner. He'll tell you that you need to capture the Base Commander and force him to unlock the hanger's blast doors - but first, proceed into the hanger and take out the Troopers. They'll fire on the prisoners, unless you get really close, so pick them off from a distance. You can examine the hanger's floor for some miscellaneous items. Head to the upper platforms in the hanger, and find the unlocked door. When you reach the walkway, shoot the lattice grille and jump through. Thankfully you activated the fan earlier, and you can float down the pipe until you hit the bottom; make sure you land on the grate or you'll get injured by the fan. You'll eventually reach another darkened mine area, which will be much longer than the one you ran through in the last level. My recommendation? Book it. Just run past all the Crabs, keeping your goggles on, and they shouldn't have enough time to get their bites in. The passageway is linear, so proceed until you reach another room where the Crabs are chewing on Trooper bodies. Head through the door hear to reach a hallway with two more doors. The rightmost passage will take you back to the hanger, but the leftmost will lead you to the Base Commander. Kill all the Troopers and walk down the stairs to your right to find the Commander, who won't put up a fight. He'll walk along slowly as long as you have your crosshairs on him, so march him up the stairs towards the blast door. You'll have to protect him from the Crabs that pour forth. After he lets the prisoners out of the main door, he'll predictably turn on you, so blast him and the rest of the Troopers. Now head out the newly unlocked door until you find a locker room for the mine enforcers. Blast the grates and crawl out of the facility to end the level. 

 

Artus Topside  Initial Objectives: *Disable the external defenses to allow evacuation of the prisoners. *Rendezvous with Jan and the Raven's Claw. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Imperial Officers Secret Areas: 1 Well, you're caught between a rock and a hard place as the level opens, since an AT-ST is gunning for you right from the beginning. Duck into the alcove to your left to grab the Imperial's supply key and activate the elevator. Run back outside, avoiding the AT-ST's fire, and take the elevator up to the top level. Man the turret to kill the AT-ST, then swing it around to take out the Troopers above you. Once the second AT-ST is destroyed, you can check the nearby room for a Large Shield Generator if you got the Supply key below. Take the elevator back down into the valley. Run (do not walk) down the valley's length. There are a lot of Troopers hanging around, but if you strafe and dodge well, you can make it to the end without getting hit. (Just make sure the AT-ST doesn't squash you.) Take the lift up to the top of the valley. The troopers outside are using juiced-up Rifles, and can fire more rapidly than most soldiers can, so you might want to set a proximity mine or something to take them out, since they will wear down your shields quite rapidly in a firefight. Once you take out the troopers on the ledge to the right of the door, walk across and shoot the grate to find a secret area. Now, head down to the Ion Cannons, and use the Turrets to shoot any of the troops in the valley below. Make sure you get the AT-ST in particular, because you'll have to come back and shoot it if you miss it now. Walk past the Ion Cannons, making sure to avoid their walkways before they fire, since the charge electrifies the metal temporarily. The next large room after the cannons is a repair bay for the AT-ST's, so clear it out and grab the security key from the Imperial. There are a couple more rooms accessible from the lowest level of the repair bay, and in the final one you'll be able to access the force fields that are protecting the Ion Cannons. Shut them down, then head back up and blast the Cannons with the nearby turret. If you didn't destroy the AT-ST in the canyon before, you'll get a message telling you to do it now, which is a task, since it will sometimes hide in one of the mini-valleys underneath the Ion Cannons. If it's already been destroyed, head back to the repair bay and through the now-unlocked door on the other side of the upper level. Avoid the trip mines in the passages beyond, and eventually you'll reach the Raven's Claw. Desann, unfortunately, cannot be beaten at this stage of the game. I've managed to knock him over with a lucky Detonator Pack, but he'll generally throw everything you dish out right back at you. Once you fall, a series of cutscenes will ensue, ending the mission.

 

Massassi Temple - Jedi Training Academy - Yavin 4 Moon  Initial Objectives: *Meet with Luke Skywalker. Primary Foes: None Secret Areas: 1 A Protocol Droid will let you know that Luke is waiting for you. You can look around for a bit if you wish; there's a recreation of the war room from A New Hope near where you begin the level. There's not a lot to do here except check out some Jedi Padawans engaging in a little lightsaber duel action. Once you get bored watching them, head up to the very top of the Temple, where Luke awaits. Apparently he finally hit puberty, because his voice has changed a bit. Once you're ready to begin your tests, head back down a level or two and find the door that was previously locked. Stroll through the garden until you find the rabbit-hole. Drop through to begin your adventures with the Force.... Go right once the next level loads to pick up Force Push. In the next room, Push the grey panels on the wall to find the correct glyphs you need to proceed. The middle square, between the arrows, needs to have the correct sequence of glyphs to unlock the door, so Push the tiles around until you are able to proceed. Grab Force Pull from the altar, then head into a water room for the next text. Use Pull to extract the walkway from the wall. Once you get to the door, you can keep going past it to reach a secret area, but it'll only net you a Battery and a Bacta tank. Proceeding out the door, grab Speed and drop down the hole nearby. Stand on the platform to drop the door, then stand on the pressure plate to unlock all the other doors. Once the last door has dropped (you should be able to see a cage at the end of the corridor) hit the Speed button and take off. Don't worry about the rising pillar; you'll see it again shortly. You'll find Jump nearby, and a door that leads back to the main area. I was stuck here for quite some time, because I didn't see the golden pillars off to the right as you enter the room. You need to use Jump to scale the pillars, after which you're done with the first go-round of tests. The next test is down the stairs and through the doors. Use Pull on the gargoyles to initiate water flow from each. Once the water level has risen, stand by the door to let the platform float up from the bottom of the water. The gate across the way will also rise; once it's completely retracted, hit Speed and dash across the platform. It'll sink, but you should have plenty of time to Jump underneath the gate before it falls completely. Now, use Push on the wall next to the door to break open another passage. Once you're below, you can use Push on the blocks below the stepping stones to make something of a ladder. You'll need to Jump on top of the stones, then Jump on the small guidestones next to them to complete the next jump. This area is confusing so I've updated a couple of pictures to help anyone who's stuck. This is Kyle looking at the small ledge he needs to jump upon: http://www.matthewrorie.com/images/jeditrialstones1.jpg This is Kyle looking down from the small ledge. He needs to jump from here to reach the next stone: http://www.matthewrorie.com/images/jeditrialstones2.jpg Once you're up top, head to the end of the corridor, behind the pressure plate. Activate Speed, then jet off down the corridor towards the opening. You should intersect a sliding platform, from which you can Jump to reach the final area of the tests. You're almost done. Use Push to retract the pins that stick out of the pillar until the cage containing your Lightsaber is at floor level, then jump on top of the weight nearby (above the ramp that leads downward). As the weight falls, hit Speed, run up the ramp, and use Pull to get your Lightsaber out before the cage closes again. Now you can jump around and act like an idiot for a few minutes. The Lightsaber here is much-improved over its implementation in Jedi Knight, so get used to the new movement system and throw the saber around a bit for good measure. Once you're ready to get on to the next mission, jump up on top of the small pillars near the exit door, then throw the saber through the ropes to release the stones. Cut the lock on the next door and you'll be off to Nar Shaddaa. 

 

Nar Shaddaa - The Smuggler's Moon - Streets  Initial Objectives: *Track down the gangster, Reelo Baruk. Primary Foes: *Rodian *Gran *Weequay Secret Areas: 6 (The fly-by intro here is an homage to the opening cinematic of Jedi Knight, in case you didn't know.) The bar up the street is populated by Grans (fellows with three eyes), Rodians (green-skinned insectoid things), and Weequays (dreadlocked individuals), along with a Chiss bartender, of the same race as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Engage the bartender in conversation, then kill every single living thing in a hundred-foot radius. You're remarkably proficient at blocking incoming laser fire, even at this early stage of your lightsaber skill development, so whip it out and chop up the freaks. Lightsaber Throw is a kick here; I took down four enemies at one time with a well-thrown saber. There are two secret areas in this bar; one is in the kitchen area, where you can Push a freezer to reveal a small hidden room. The other is accessible in the main seating area. Hit your Use key on one of the recessed seating areas in the back wall, where the Weequay and Rodians were enjoying their drinks earlier, and the seats should retract into the wall, leaving a passage to the secret area. Not very practical, but there you go. Head to the top of the bar and locate the lock to the bar blast shield. Interrogate the bartender and head up and outside. The Rodians that are scattered throughout the rest of the level will possess Disruptor Rifles, so you'll have to move very slowly through any exposed areas, unless you fancy being disintegrated. (The death animation when you do perish is pretty cool, though.) You'll need to duck in and out of doorways, while returning fire with your own Disruptor Rifle, in order to not get hit, since your Lightsaber unfortunately can't block the shots. The Disruptor is perfectly accurate and fires very quickly, so you can hit far-off enemies with the primary fire if you have good aim. If you need to zoom in with the scope, aim for the head and charge it up about halfway - disintegrating the Rodians is neat, but drains your ammo and will leave you open to fire for too long to be really worthwhile. (Mitch points out that if you hold duck while wielding the Disruptor Rifle, the sniper zoom does not disappear when you move. This is obviously helpful for acquiring your targets while exposing yourself for a minimum amount of time.) Head around to your left and walk across the chasm. No guardrails, yet again; a poor example of city planning. Head up the lift in the nearby room and through the hole in the wall. Don't forget to use Push and Pull to knock your enemies off their feet; this is really handy in the case of the Grans, which are often armed with Thermal Detonators. Head out to the small balcony and jump over to the set of ramps leading up. Ignore the door to your left and head up the ramps, where you'll find another door. You can roll a Thermal Detonator down the small incline inside the door to kill the Rodian and the Gran below, then explore the room they're in to find a Large shield generator. Now, head up to the second-highest level of the ramp and jump from the small balcony area into the building below, which has a control panel you can use to extend a nearby bridge. Head out of the building and walk to your right to find the now-complete walkway. In the next room, you'll need to shuffle some crates around with Push and Pull to bring down a lift, then Push the crate again to make the platform rise when you're standing on it. Once you're reached the top of the lift, use the panel nearby to drop another ramp heading up. Walk along the walkway outside until you reach the skylights, which you'll need to drop through. One of the doors in this room leads to a lift heading up to the highest level of the outside area. There are two secret areas up here. For the first, jump across the bridge that the Gran was standing on, then head up the darkened ramp nearby to find an upper platform. The second area is to the left of the lift that brought you up; you need to drop down onto the walkways that connect all the locked doors until you find a small platform with a couple of Converters. Unfortunately, this will return you to the beginning of the level, so be forewarned. When you're ready to proceed, head back to the room with the skylights and jump out the rightmost window onto a small ledge. Jump into the floating vehicle and jump from there up to the nearby door. Take the lift up and proceed across the walkway - but watch out for the proximity mine in the middle. Shoot it out from a distance, and be careful not to fall. In the next room, shoot the barrel to get through the wall, then cut the small electrical pipe to de-charge the water. Pull the platform out from the next wall, then jump up above to another small area. There's another secret area across the top of the glassed-in walkway; jump from there to the area to the right to find a couple of Bacta Tanks. Hit the panel near the R5 unit to pull a loading crane below within jumping distance. Fall down onto it, then Pull the other crane to you, and jump from there into the floating garbage scow. As it moves off, you'll notice a red garbage chute above you; the jump from your hauler to this area is very difficult. Stand on the very edge of the hauler and hit crouch when you reach the apex of your jump, and you might make it into the corridor; this is the final secret area. Drop down into the hauler again, and as it speeds along, you'll need to hit the small red/green switchlights with Push in order to bypass the early exits and hit the end of the level.

 

Nar Shaddaa - Reelo's Hideout Objectives: *Track down Reelo Baruk. Primary Foes: *Rodian *Gran *Weequay Force Power Adjustments: *Force Jump from Level 1 to Level 2. Secret Areas: 7 As the level begins, you can find a secret area by jumping from the crate to the metal piping on either side, then jumping from there up to a pair of Converters. (If you miss the jump, you'll need to wall-walk over the shredder to avoid instant death.) Head through the door to find a large room full of garbage smashers. There's another secret area through the first door on your right - blow up the explosive barrel in the room to open a passageway to a sniper's roost with a couple of Rodians. There's yet another secret area in the first room here. Find the stack of crates near the wall, then drop down between them and the wall, and hit your Use key while facing the wall. A secret panel should open up. Go back to the garbage smashers and find one with an exposed pipe sticking out of this side. You'll need to jump up and into the garbage smasher, then run underneath the smashing mechanism without getting squashed. There's a simple jumping puzzle in the next large room, from which you'll proceed down some corridors until you find what seems to be a dead end. Use your Force Pull on the dumpster to pull it towards you, then head all the way back to the main garbage smasher area. Find the recessed door with the white light above it, and head through to a room full of crates. Pull one of the crates on the floor to reveal a small passage, then crouch your way through. Walk down the corridor until you find another dumpster, which you can push to reveal an incinerator. (Shortly before this dumpster is a secret area; keep your eyes on the ceiling above the corridor and you'll see a gap you can jump into.) Smash the window in this room, then Pull the lever across the way to unlock the door. This next hallway is populated with some Rodian snipers, so watch for the windows to open and blast them with your weapon of choice. You'll reach a ramp eventually - watch for a grate on the right side of the wall. When you find it, smash it, crawl into the duct, and then blow up the explosive canister below. Head back to the ramp and drop down into the room below. Cut the door's lock, and proceed through the now-smashed wall to find the prison area, where the game's very special guest star awaits. Once you've had your conversation, head back to the ramp area, and go through the door at the top to find yourself on the walkways at the top of the garbage smasher room. At the far side of this area is a small control room where you'll be asked for a password - the prisoner gave it to you, so you'll be allowed through. (If you didn't have the password, you'd have been dropped into a room with an electrified floor.) This next area is rather tricky, due to the overwhelming forces aligned against you, so keep your Bacta tanks primed and ready to go when you hit your item key. Once you reach the grate separating you from the Weequays, break through with your saber and start chopping. Take your time with the turrets ahead, and be sure to destroy them all before proceeding. The next hallway contains a multitude of recessed Rodian riflemen (really!), but you can run past them if you wish. Push the panel through the cracked window to escape. Once you find yourself in Reelo's gladiator pit, destroy the turrets up above, then flip on your lightsaber to avoid getting mauled by the Weequays that come pouring out. One strategy to take them down quickly is to lure them off to the side of the room, then duck into the little alcove they formerly inhabited. They'll bunch up as they run towards the alcove, allowing you to duck out and get most of them with a single saber throw. Now, head upstairs to find that Reelo has flown the coop. Snoop around behind his desk to find a switch that opens a secret door nearby, then drop down the shaft to find another secret area below the stairs (Pull the lever to slide the stairs to one side). Head through the door to find Lando, who leads you to the end of the level.

 

Nar Shaddaa - Starport Initial Objectives: *Find Lando's Ship, the Lady Luck. Primary Foes: *Rodian *Gran *Weequay Force Power Adjustments: *Force Speed from Level 1 to Level 2. Secret Areas: 3 Follow Lando until you reach the control room overlooking the Lady Luck. Head down the lift and across the walkway nearby to find yourself back in the previous room, then proceed through the door to your left to enter a room with an unexplainable chasm. The next area is darkened, so activate your Light Amplification Goggles and proceed through it. Once you're on the rooftop area, head to your left until Lando messages you about the turrets. Destroy them from a distance, then proceed through the room behind them until you reach the walkway that juts out underneath where the turrets were placed. Jump up and go down the hallway to reach a control room, where you can unlock the hanger door. Head back to the docking bay and recharge your shields at the station while Lando blathers on. A wave of troops will come in - your priority here is to protect Lando, since the mission ends if he dies. Once they're all taken care of, Lando will message you and let you know that you need to start the refueling process, as well as open the roof so that you can escape. Examine the blue and red piping that's connected to the ship to find the codes for refueling. To find the fuel tanks, exit the hanger and proceed to your right. You can't miss the large fuel reservoir; it's the cylindrical tank with all the piping that heads into the hanger walls. Enter the codes on the panels (the red code is a small gray stop sign; the blue code is a yellow x). There's a secret area across the way from the code input terminals; jump on top of the fuel cylinder and you should be able to see some Bacta tanks on a ledge nearby. Jump on the piping to reach them. To open the ceiling of the hanger, you need to find two grates in the hanger floor and bust through them; one is open to the air, the other is hidden beneath a Pushable crate. In each of the rooms connected to these passages, there are five computers that need to be activated. Once you flip on all of the computers, the roof will open and Lando will summon you back to the ship. When Reelo makes his appearance, hit the panel in the cockpit of the Lady Luck to lower a hidden turret. Aim for Reelo first, and then blast the rest of the troops to finish the level. (Did this battle feel a little anticlimactic to anyone else?)

 

Bespin - Cloud City - Underside  Objectives: *Infiltrate Bespin City through the lower levels. *Find Lando's R5 unit near Carbonite Chamber #17. Primary Foes: *Rodian *Gran *Weequay Force Power Adjustments: *Force Push from Level 1 to Level 2 *Force Pull from Level 1 to Level 2 *Mind Tricks to Level 1 *Force Heal to Level 1 Secret Areas: 3 There are grates around the corner from your starting position - cut one open, then wait off to the side for the blast of air to pass by and hop onto the rising platform. You can start abusing Force Push on the enemies above - Level 2 is a huge improvement over Level 1, so be sure to have it bound somewhere handy. Stay away from the edges of the lift as it reaches the top of the tube; you can sometimes be caught between the lift and an obstacle, killing you instantly. The door nearby leads to a forked corridor. Head off to the left and take the nearby lift up to a dead-end room with some enemies and a few items on the upper level. This is optional, of course, but it's easy to miss if you don't notice the lift. Now proceed through the door to the right of the bottom of the lift. There's another platform in this room that leads to another docking bay if you wish to get a couple more Bacta Tanks. Otherwise, wait for the flames in the central chamber to abate, then hit the panel next to the Ugnaught and use Force Speed to cover the distance before the door closes. (You can also use Mind Tricks on the Ugnaught when you're standing by the door to get him to open it.) Cut through the lock and take the lift up. The door here leads out to a large open area. Take out the Rodians while you still have a little cover, but watch out; if you strafe too exuberantly, you can fall into the shaft where the platform was. Once the snipers have fallen, wait for the power...thing...across the way to fall down to your level, then activate Speed and rush across the red force field while it's still active. Jump on the platform before it starts to rise, and ride up to the next level. Proceed in this manner to the top level, where you need to take a right to find the door to the next area. The three grates in this room cover up airshafts - cut the one to the left of the entrance and float up to a large open area, similar to the location of Luke's duel with Vader. Ride the columns of air up to the higher platforms; if you feel cruel, you can use Push in midair to knock your enemies off their feet and into the ether. Once you reach the top platform, you'll come face to face with your first Reborn. Read the Dueling strategies in the Hints section (near the bottom of this document) if you need help in this battle. Once the Reborn is dead (and trust me, this guy is a piece of cake compared to the individuals waiting), go through the door and walk down the hallway to Carbonite Chamber #17, which acts as an elegant backdrop to another duel. The door nearby contains the R5 unit which you need to access the adjacent lift.

 

Bespin - Cloud City - Streets Objectives: *Search for Desann. *Engage hostile forces in the area. Primary Foes: *Rodian *Gran *Weequay *Trandoshan *Reborn Force Power Adjustments: *Force Grip to Level 1 Secret Areas: 3 Once you're able to move, jump up to the elevated area and take out the Trandoshan - watch out for the trip mines near the door. Lower the lift in the control room, then head around and wait for the R5 unit to open the door. This hallway here is quite a gauntlet. Your R5 unit can take a fair bit of damage from the trip mines that are spaced out along the hallway, but the enemies across the way will pose a double threat for you. You have to shoot as many of the trip mines as you can, so that the droid doesn't perish, but you'll also need to shoot some of the aliens across the way so that you don't get killed. Concentrate your fire on the Rodians, then take out any trip mines that are still in the way of the droid. You'll get hurt pretty badly in this area if you're not careful, so keep an eye on your health and make sure you don't set off any of the mines yourself. The next room contains an alcove where the R5 unit will stow itself away - wait for it to open the door and walk through for an easy Secret Area credit. The next door over leads you to another room with various miscreants. Pass through to an open area with a Cloud Car. As you proceed towards the exit door, another Reborn will appear and challenge you. He may be bugged - I was able to freeze him in place by shooting at him with a Blaster Rifle as he landed, and then finished him off with the Lightsaber as he was immobile. Your mileage may vary. Join up with the Cloud City Trooper in the next room and hit the streets. If you see Grans or other enemies on the ledges above you, you can combine Jump and Pull to cause them to stumble onto the ground below, which usually kills them. This is a handy method of threat disposal that you can use without de-equiping your lightsaber. When you round the corner with the Cloud Car, switch to your Disruptor and snipe the enemies at the far end of the road - the last thing you want is a turret pointed your way. Once you proceed down the road, all hell will break loose in the form of multiple enemies on the upper ledges. You can hop in the turret if you like; I generally just run to the platform, ride up to the next level, and take them on from there. follow the walkway until you reach another series of rooms - don't miss the Shield Converter or the locked door that contains some more of your CC Trooper friends. When you reach the large open crevasse, ride the lifts to the control room and open the large door below. The next area pits you off against two Reborn at the same time. I found that Saber Throws were particularly effective against this dynamic duo, especially when you aim at their feet. Ride the nearby lift up and gingerly cross the bridge - it's wired with mines that activate when you're about halfway across. It's best to retreat, shoot the enemies, then use your Repeater's secondary fire to wipe out the mines in your way. When you reach the window nearby, find the pool of water below and drop down. The next room over contains a few Stormtroopers - the first Imperial targets for your newly-appreciated Lightsaber. Head up the lift for another firefight, then go out onto the docking platform to find an Imperial with a Security Key. Use it to unlock the door nearby, which ends the level.

 

Bespin - Cloud City - Platform Objectives: *Search for Desann. *Engage hostile forces in the area. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Officers *Reborn Force Power Adjustments: *Force Lightning to Level 1 Secret Areas: 1 Another Reborn will attack you as you proceed down the hallway. When you reach the door, you'll spy some Troopers milling about, protected by a pair of trip mines. When you alert them to your presence, they'll come through the nearby room to your area - I got a kick out of Pushing the field commander into the laser beams, but if you feel less cruel, you can simply mow them down with your Saber. In the area with the small lamp in the middle, take either of the doors and use your Repeater's secondary fire to clear the mines and the Sentries on the floor. Head through the unlocked doors to find a room with a few Stormtroopers - there's a secret area in the shadows between the stairs, near the R2 unit. Kill the Officer in the adjacent room, get his key, and return to the lift you passed by before. Be sure to destroy the trip mines above before you start going up, however. Take the hallway to your left and use the Security Key to unlock the door. Kill the Reborn that comes out of the room, then use the panel by the window to unlock the doors leading to the docking platform you see. Head back down to the area where the Sentries were posted, being mindful of a couple of large firefights. If you kill another Officer with a security key, you can open the doors near where the trip mines were placed when you entered the level. The door with a Shield Converter contains another Reborn, one more powerful than the ones you've faced so far. Recharge your shields, then head through formerly Sentried hallway until you reach the docking platform. Tavion awaits. She is...tough. Even on the regular Jedi difficulty level, I have a hard time beating her. She's wicked fast and agile enough to change directions in mid-jump, even without a surface to propel herself from. She wields what seems to be a Level Three Saber Throw, as well as advanced Force Grip and Lightning. I recommend making a full save as soon as the fight begins, and quicksaving during the fight as you wear her down. She makes a distinctive grunt when she takes damage, so if you think you've managed to hurt her without being hit since your last save, quicksave again. Repeat. It's certainly a cheesy tactic, but one that practically guarantees victory, if you are able to wield a Lightsaber at all. In practical terms, though, you'll need to stick close to either the open pit in the middle of the platform, or the sides of the platform, simply to avoid her Lightning attack, which wears your shields and health down considerably if you can't outrun it. If she catches you in a Grip, Push her away to break free. If your sabers Clash, hit the primary fire button while also tapping Push as quickly as possible. You can't Push out of a saber clash until your Push is at Level Three, but if she knocks you down, you can sometimes Push her away before she can strike you when you're defenseless. Your primary method of dealing damage will be simple slashing techniques; she'll sometimes overwhelm you and deal massive amounts of damage when you're in close, however, so you should float like a butterfly and sting like a bee (i.e., dart in and out of her saber range while getting as many licks in as you can). Once you defeat Tavion, the level ends. 

 

The Cairn Installation - Docking Platform Objectives: *Search for Desann. *Engage hostile forces in the area. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Officers *Reborn Force Power Adjustments: *Saber Throw to Level 2 *Fast Lightsaber Combat Style available Secret Areas: 1 Yes, you now have the Fast Lightsaber fighting style availble. You can hit the 'L' button by default to switch between the styles as you wish - I found that the Medium style is still best for dealing with Troopers, while the Fast style is preferable when dealing Reborn or Jedi. Your mileage may vary, however. There are two doors leading out of this docking bay. Find the one near where the black R2 unit is loitering, and take a right through another door to meet up with Luke. You'll get into a scrum with some Reborn, after which Luke will depart. Proceed through the door across the bay (not the one with the bloodstain nearby). You should find yourself in a series of corridors, at the end of which is a small control room. After disposing of the troops, flip the panel by the window to open the main docking bay outside to space, thereby allowing you to eliminate a dozen or so troops without lifting a finger. Well, maybe one finger. Find the other control panels in this room; these activates the lifts in the docking bay you just opened. Don't miss the Sentry hidden away in the crate. Proceed all the way back to the docking bay you started the level in, then find the entrance to the main docking bay through one of the greenlit doors. Snipe the Troopers at the top of the lifts, then ride them up to find another control room. When you locate the small panel with three brown glyphs, use it until the bottom right symbol is lit up in white, then head to the right and hit the other control panel in this room to open another small docking bay. Head back down the lift and enter the open bay. Eliminate the troops, then jump from the Shuttle to the platform above. Blast the grate above your head and jump through. You'll find yourself in a series of small corridors. Disable the forcefields that prevent your progress and make your way through the ducts until you come to a grate leading downward. Throw a Detonator or two down to alert the troops below, then drop down and eliminate the stragglers. The two connected rooms each contain a panel that half unlocks the door, and one of them also has a semi-hidden switch to deactivate the turrets in the next room. In said next room, open the crate and proceed into the elevator shaft. Smash the grate above you to find another elevator shaft, this one with a working elevator car. Jump on top of it as it's rising, and jump from there to the small passageway one or two floors above the grate you smashed through. This leads to yet another elevator car, which, in turn, will lead you to still yet another elevator car, which conveniently has a broken ceiling you can drop through to end the level.

 

The Cairn Installation- Assembly Area Objectives: *Search for Desann. *Engage hostile forces in the area. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Officers *Reborn Force Power Adjustments: *Force Grip from Level 1 to Level 2 *Mind Tricks from Level 1 to Level 2 Secret Areas: 1 A firefight ensues as soon as you begin this level. Stay in the elevator and Pull the weapons out of the hands of any enemies that come into sight, then head around the corner and shoot out the Turrets. The Officer behind the window should be Mind Tricked to open the door, after which you can kill him as thanks. Head through the room and take the lift to your right to get a Supply key. You can hit the panel here to move the nearby platform, but this doesn't appear to have any gameplay consequences. Move back down the lift and through the door on the other side of the room to reach the assembly area for the drop ship. Climb up in the infrastructure until you spot a ledge and a weakened grate. Bust through the grate and smash the machinery inside the passage - this will destroy the Lander, as well as the blast doors that were previously locked. Proceed through the blast doors and into a large storage area. The green door to the right leads into a firefight with a large number of Troopers - you might want to set your Sentry, if you have one, in the corridor to weaken and distract them while you chop them up. Go down the ramp to find a room with an electrified floor. You need to jump from crate to crate to move around the room - you can Push your enemies onto the floor to kill them in an amusing fashion. Once you reach the inside of the Lander, ride the lift to the top and crawl out one of the windows. Deactivate the electricity in the control room, then head back down to the bottom of the Lander and move through the blast doors to another storage area. The door nearby leads to a small lift. Kill the Reborn in this chamber and proceed through the blast doors. There's a new enemy here - some kind of small AT-ST that's very quick and shoots Repeater bullets. Then again, there's also a new weapon here, the DEMP gun, which you can find to the left of the entrance in an opened crate. Use it to take out the walkers. There's a secret area underneath the walkway leading to the exit door - smash the grate to find it. Through the doors is another lift leading to a contigent of perhaps half a dozen soldiers. You can set another Sentry hear and retreat back down the lift if they overwhelm you. Once the room is clear, proceed through the door and find the panel that starts up the assembly line below. Head all the way back to the area where you fought the two Reborns and move around to the left, where an AT-ST will lurch through a door. You can kill it with the DEMP here if you wish, but you might be better off running through the door from which it came and heading up the stairs at the rear. When you have a set of stairs between you and it, you can fire the DEMP gun at it with impunity. After it and the soldiers have been destroyed, drop down into the narrow space behind the stairs. Destroy as many of the trip mines as you need to reach the central hole, then drop down to end the level.

 

The Cairn - Reactor Objectives: *Search for Galak's ship, Doomgiver. *Navigate the hazards of the installation's reactor assembly. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Officers *Reborn Force Power Adjustments: *Force Speed from Level 2 to Level 3 *Force Heal from Level 1 to Level 2 Secret Areas: 1 Your task as you begin the level is to avoid the laser beams using Force Speed. It's quite easy once you get the hang of it, since there's a few seconds' margin of error for most of the runs. Quicksave before you dash, and you shouldn't have a problem - there's a fairly linear path to take. When you reach the area with three rapid-firing arrays, shoot the purple caps on the reactors to blow a hole in the wall, then proceed through the hallway beyond until you reach a room with a four-laser tower. You'll need to duck into a small off-shoot corridor and wait for the laser to fire before you can reach the end of the main hallway; if you take a wrong turn and keep dying due to the crossover of two beams, backtrack a bit and return to the corridor adjacent to the three rapid-fire arrays. Deactivate the laser tower using the panel on the side, then head back to the rapid-fire arrays, where a Reborn will drop down and challenge you. Jump into the hole he came from to find a room with a series of small platforms. Jump up, avoiding laser fire, until you find a door which leads to the cylindrical reactor core. The path here is, again, linear. If you get stuck, look for piping or another object to jump on to reach the platforms to either side of the core, which you should definitely avoid touching. Eventually you'll reach a room where Troopers will barrage you with Repeater fire. Find the piping underneath the holes that lead to their roosts and jump up. Proceed through the door here and Push all of the enemies off the platform - they'll either fall to their death or be disintegrated on the reactor. Jump along the reactor to reach the end of the room, being careful to rush past the Sentries on the platform at the end. The corridor here contains a hidden Sentry - jump on the piping to find it. Go through the door to enter a large room of undeterminable purpose. There's another of the small walkers here, which you can lure back to the door and shoot with the DEMP to destroy easily. Snipe the troopers above you, then take the floating platform around the room. All is not well in Metropolis, however, as a pair of troopers at the far end will start pelting you with rockets from their handy Merr-Sonn Portable Missile System. Snipe them before the platform crashes, if you can manage, and start jumping along the structures attached to the wall to reach the dock on the other side. The secret area for this level is located here - follow the path around the corner to find a grate. Take the lift nearby to the upper platform leading to the inner shaft of the level; you can walk around the ledge to find some miscellaneous items before you go inside. Once inside, take the large platform up to the top and find the control panel that unlocks another lift further down the shaft. Ride the lifts until you reach the administrative area at the bottom of the shaft, where you'll find an Imperial with a Security key that unlocks the door that you saw at the top of the shaft. Head across the platform to reach the next level.

 

The Cairn - Docking Platform Objectives: *Search for Galak's ship, Doomgiver. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Officers *Reborn Force Power Adjustments: *Force Pull from Level 2 to Level 3 *Force Push from Level 2 to Level 3 Secret Areas: 1 Well, your two most useful Force powers are at their maximum level, so get ready to use and abuse them. First things first - head through the blast doors to your left to find an arsenal. Stock up, then head through the other unlocked door to meet up with some Swamp Trooper Reborns, is what I suppose they are. These fellows are stocked with suits that resist lightsaber blades, so you're going to need to mete out some mighty wrath to survive this fight. I'd suggest the same tactic as you (or, at least, I) used in the fight with Tavion: fight so that every time you inflict damage and take none in return, quicksave the game, and reload from the middle of the fight if you die. Your best bet is probably to try and knock one of the Reborn down with either Push or Pull and kill him while he's on the ground. If you allow yourself to get sandwiched between these guys, you're almost certainly dead. When the Reborn are dead, proceed through the unlocked door to get a Security Key, which you need to take back to the first room to unlock the door there. Kyle'll spot a few troops through the window and start acting like a wussy, and helpfully remind you that this is supposed to be the token stealth mission for the game. Sigh - if there has to be one, there has to be one; let's just get it over with as soon as possible. Take the lift down to the docking bay, being sure to silence your lightsaber (just hit 1 again to holster it). Crouch-move off to the right until you find a small passageway. Jump over the gaps in the passage until you reach the end. Take the lift up, then turn around and jump across to the ledge to the right of the window. You should find a small hole in the wall here - crawl through and deactivate the reactor core nearby. Crawl back outside and take the lift again. The reactor has been shut down, but it doesn't stay that way permanently - use Speed to ensure that you'll make it across in time, then chop down the Officers to find a supply key. The crate is around the corner. Moving on, you'll see a large hole in the ground - this is a lift where eight or nine Stormtroopers will appear soon. If you rush to the hole before it reachs ground level, you can aim a Pull at the middle of the Trooper pack, pulling them all high up into the air, causing them to die on impact. Afterwards, grab the key from the box near the Officer and the Sentry from the crates in the corner, and take the nearby lift to a small control room area. You'll find a panel overlooking some more Troopers - hit it to drop the platform they're on. Move on down the next lift and across the platform to find another door. After avoiding the electrical sparks in the next room, snipe the soldiers across the way, making sure that none of them are able to hit the alarm panel. Jump the piping nearby to bypass the electrified floor. The next area contains a secret - jump up to the grate near the door and blast it. The room nearby is full of soldiers, so you'll have to shut off the lights. Find the streetlamp outside the room and jump on it, and leap from there to the ledge, from which you can crawl into a balcony overlooking the crowded area. Shut the lights off with the blue panel, and crawl off the ledge and through the room. When you reach the door, let it close behind you before saving your game and whipping out your Saber. Through the next door is a Reborn and two Officers, who split up and head towards two different alarm panels when they spot you. The Reborn can wait, but you'll need to kill the Officers before they sound the alarm, so track them down and slice-and-dice. Take the nearby lift up to find the bridge of the Doombringer to the end the level. (By the way, the duel between Luke and Desann here produced one of the game's funniest moments for me. The fight isn't coreographed - it's produced in real-time and different things will happen each time you watch. On one occasion, Luke proved to be the inferior duelist - he had his hand chopped off (again!) by Desann. Never one to give up, however, he proceeded to pretend like he still had his saber in his hand, but the rest of the brief duel resembled a man beating a dinosaur with a bloody stump - high comedy that only comes from random iterations.)

 

Doomgiver - Communications Array  Objectives: *Search for Jan. *Find Doomgiver's communications array. *Contact Rogue Squadron using the communications array. *Set Doomgiver's sensor array to Rogue Squadron's communicator frequency. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Officers *Reborn *Shadow Troopers Force Power Adjustments: *Force Jump from Level 2 to Level 3 *Mind Tricks from Level 2 to Level 3 *Force Lightning from Level 1 to Level 2 *Lightsaber Defense from Level 2 to Level 3 *Lightsaber's Strong Style available Secret Areas: 3 Head through the sea of Troopers to find a lift heading down. Find the panel in this room to open the blast door, through which there is another door with a lift heading down. Kill the Officer for the Supply Key, then head into the left door nearby and look up to find a grate. Jumping up, you'll encounter some more Interrogation Droids. Destroy them with a few Throws, then look around for a supply crate. There's a grate up here that will lead down to a room filled with R5 units - kill the Officer to get his key, then open the door. Head into the other adjacent door and find another grate in the ceiling; this one leads to a secret area. Head back to the R5 units and use the control panel to commandeer one of the droids. Take him out the door and through the blue force field on the left. Use the droid to unlock the door, and look around for another small chamber that you can unlock to reveal a Sentry. Hit the Jump key to get back to Kyle, and head through the now unlocked door to reach a lift heading down. (You can use the R5 to pass through the other blue force field, but the room there is much the same as the other one, and the lift leads to the same area.) Taking this lift down, you'll find a large chamber with a couple of turrets and two of the small AT-ST things; we'll call them Walkers from now on. Eliminate the threats, then hop across the piping and look around for a window that you can smash to drop down. Proceed through the hallway and ride the lift up. You can activate the trams with the control panels in the room beyond. The trams all lead to the same place, so hop on one and ride it along the rail. After you dispatch the troops in the next area, take the Officer's key and unlock the door. Head through the Communications command center to find the encryption mainframe for the array. Find the lift below the command center window and ride it down to the guts of the machine. There are three levels here, each one corresponding to a color, and each one containing a number of panels containing elements of the code sequence. Hop around and look for the panels corresponding to the symbols in your Mission panel. All you have to do is hit the three panels that match up with the ones indicating the sequence for Rogue Squadron's communicators; these can be entered in any order, but you'll want to make sure you don't hit any of the other panels once you've reached the correct ones, as this will force you to return to the correct panel and press it again. When all three have been entered in correctly, head back up to the mainframe and manipulate the three panels to unlock the control panel in the command center. Run back and hit that panel to communicate with Rogue Leader. Now, proceed back through the mainframe room and through the now-unlocked door near the blue housing to exit the level.

 

Doomgiver - Detention Area  Objectives: *Search for Jan. *Locate Doomgiver's shield array. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Officers *Reborn *Shadow Troopers Secret Areas: 3 Move down the hallway to find a large area with a few troops at attention before an Officer. Use Mind Tricks at long distance on a couple of them to cause a little chaos, then proceed through the room. You'll note a locked door here; once you find a security key on dead Officer nearby, you can return here to face off against a Shadow Trooper and engage in a mini-game where you shoot TIEs with an external turret, but this appears to be optional, and isn't a secret area. Proceed until you reach a large hanger. Go through the door across the way and through the door to the left to find control rooms for the hangers; the blue panels open the hangers to space, while the other levers activate the lifts in the middle of the bays. One of the hangers will have troops in it; you can shoot them out into space if you wish, but make sure you reset the door so that it's closed before you head back to the first hanger and ride the lift down. (The lift across from these control rooms leads up to the upper level of the hanger; nothing appears to be up here.) When the lift reaches the bottom, dispatch the Walkers nearby and proceed into an area where a few turrets await you. You can destroy these if you wish; it might be quicker just to run past them and take the lift up. Once you're on the ledge with the Troopers, walk around until you find the control panel that opens another corridor below, then drop down and head through said corridor. The lift here takes you up into the second hanger you spotted before. There's another hanger beyond this one, which you can also open to space if you wish. Keep moving until you reach what appears to be a dead-end room with a locked door. Jump on the piping above and crawl through the vent to reach a small crawlspace above a large command room, filled with Troopers and Officers. One of the Troopers is packing a Merr-Sonn, while a couple of others wield Flechettes, so get ready for a fight when you drop down. The ceiling panels will not protect you when the Troopers are alerted to your presence, as they break just as easily as the grates do, so you may wish to just drop down and perform a mass Pull to throw the Troopers into confusion, and eliminate the rest of the enemies afterward. Take the keys from the Officers and head through the locked door. Proceed through the corridors into a large hanger with a few Troopers and a couple of Reborn. Mind Trick the Troopers so that the Reborn wind up eliminating them, and then kill the Reborn to clear the hanger. Proceed through the unlocked door in the upper corner of the room and Mind Trick the Officer behind the glass to find Jan. Once Jan is in your entourage, kill the Officer, being careful not to accidentally swipe Jan with your saber, and head out through the dual-locked doors. You'll need to leapfrog each other, with you holding open one door while Jan proceeds to the next switch, until you come back to the hanger. Head through the supposedly locked door across the way to end the level.

 

Doomgiver - Shield Array Objectives: *Locate and destroy the Doomgiver's shield array. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Officers *Reborn *Shadow Troopers Force Power Adjustments: *Force Heal from Level 2 to Level 3. Secret Areas: 1 Go out the door to enter a large cylindrical room filled with Troopers. Have fun with them if you wish, then head off through one of the adjacent doors to enter a hallway patrolled by Walkers. You'll eventually hit stairs leading up to a control room; hit the panel here to extend a pipe to the central structure below. Head back and walk across the pipe to enter the structure, using the switch near the door to unlock it. Kill the Officer inside and take his Security Key, then walk back across the pipe and through the door the Troopers pour out of. Go through the door to your right to find the locked door where you can use the key; use the control panel in the next room to lift the covers of the ventilation shafts in the central structure. Head back to the central structure and drop down into the upper left shaft, as seen from the door. When you reach the end of the pipe, Push the cover above your head and jump out. The nearby room contains a lift; use it to go up, then head out the door and jump to the uppermost walkways, being careful to avoid the tripmines that are invisible from below. Head through the door here, then smash the window and drop down to a room where you'll be ambushed by two red Reborns. Take the hallway nearby to another lift, but watch out for the Walkers when you exit the elevator. My recommendation is to simply avoid them by ducking through the door nearby, then turning around and using your DEMP to take them out. (You'll be returning this way, so it's better to kill them now.) Now that you've reached the shield generator room, all you have to do is destroy it. Jump up onto the infrastructure and locate the power shunts that extend from the wall to the generator. Shoot out the y-circuits above the shunts, then use your saber Throw to destroy the shunts themselves. As the fourth one goes down, Admiral Fyarr will join you in a suit that reminded me a bit of Hitler at the end of Wolfenstein 3-D. Fyarr packs only a Heavy Repeater, but his shielding prevents you from damaging him directly, and will repel and damage you if you make contact with it. You'll need to use your Lightsaber to overload the shields, which is a delicate process to say the least: move too close and you'll be thrown across the room; stay too far away and you won't make contact and probably get hit with a few bullets. I'd use the Medium Lightsaber style to knock the shields out, as that style combines the range and the speed you need in this situation. (Por Que points out that you can use the secondary fire of the Repeater to drop his shields much more easily and safely than using the Lightsaber. He also notes that you can jump into the girders to avoid Fyarr's fire for a limited amount of time if you need to heal up or recharge your Force meter.) When Fyarr's shields fall, they recharge slowly and go back up 12-15 seconds later. You'll need to take advantage of this interval by slicing the Admiral six ways to Sunday while you can, but be wary of getting too close to Fyarr's front side, as he'll use his fist to punch you across the room if he connects. I recommend the Strong style and Speed here, similar to the tactic that you'd use against a Shadow Trooper. It may take you three or four sequences of dropping his shield and attacking, but Fyarr will eventually go down. For some reason, the destruction of the shield generator apparently causes a power overload that shorts out the artificial gravity on this level. Before you head back to the escape pod, float up above the shield generator to locate a small alcove containing some items; this is the level's sole secret area. Float back along the path that took you to the shield generator, avoiding the flames and electricy by floating above them. There is a tricky window area with arcs of electricty blocking your path; use Speed and time your movement so that you float through when the arcs are temporarily disconnected. When you reach the hallway that the Walkers once patrolled, duck into the rooms to pick up a few items, then head out into the cylindrical room when the fallen metal blocks your path. Take the next door to the right from the one you just exited and you should find yourself back under gravity's sway. Find the open door nearby to reach the escape pod and end the level.

 

Yavin Swamp. Objectives: *Make your way to the Jedi Academy. *Engage Remnant troops in the area. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Shadow Troopers *Swamp Troopers Force Power Adjustments: *Force Lightning from Level 2 to Level 3. Secret Areas: 2 Welcome to a precipitous drop in your framerate. The swamps of Yavin are quite stunning graphically, what with the little details like water fizzing out on your Lightsaber, but can cause your system to slow down quite a bit because of all the foliage being rendered. If the Lightsaber controls feel a little less responsive, you might want to temporarily knock down your resolution, or switch off some of the details in the control panel. Before you shoot off into the undergrowth, you should know that your Lightsaber will not function underwater, and will automatically switch off if you are submerged, so be sure to re-activate it when you surface. The path here is fairly linear in the beginning, so proceed along until you reach a set of rocks where two Shadow Troopers ambush you. You can split them up by simply running forward; only one of them will likely follow you. Walk around to a small crevasse that leads to a Lander that broke up on landing. Look for a small stream of water falling near a Bacta Tank on the ground; there's a small passage that's mostly submerged nearby. Head up to the cave-like passage that leads to another swampy area. Inside the cave, there's a secret area on a series of rocks to your right - look for areas where you can jump and you should find a Large Shield Generator. After exiting the cave, head right to proceed to one of the Massasi Temple's perimeter walls. Once you spot it, duck into the hole and proceed through a darkened hallway where two Shadow Warriors lie in wait. You'll exit and drop into a small lake, where you can swim to the right to find the level's other secret area. Swim back to the left and jump onto the rocks to find a scrum between Republic and Remnant troops. Continue on the trail until it divides into three paths, with another firefight taking place to your front. The front and right paths here are joined; the left path leads to another firefight with quite a few Troopers. Head through the nearby lander to end the level.  

 

Yavin Canyon  Objectives: *Engage Remnant troops in the area. *Make your way to the Jedi Academy. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Shadow Troopers *Swamp Troopers Secret Areas: 3 You'll notice an abandoned AT-ST near the start point; you can jump onto it and Use it to drive it around if you wish. Be sure to holster your Saber if you do, or any incidental contact will probably drain its shields drastically. Proceed down the canyon, and don't forget that you can stomp on the Troopers to kill them instead of shooting them individually. If you decide not to take the AT-ST, watch for cave passages that lead through the mountain to cut your walking time. Once you round the corner in the AT-ST, you'll pass a green wall and face off against another AT-ST. This large area with the turrets contain a secret: jump up to the ledge where the Trooper was pelting you with a Merr-Sonn to find a passage into an abandoned temple. From the turret crossfire area, continue along the canyon, shooting down Troopers and turrets as you go. Eventually you'll come across another AT-ST that you can jump into if your first one has taken a beating. There's a fork in the road eventually, with a path leading right that contains four turrets, and another path leading straight on. Take the path ahead of you to bend around the canyon and flank the turrets. After destroying the AT-ST nearby, head into the lander. Jumping up into the cave and falling into the hole will end the level.

 

Yavin Jedi Academy Objectives: *Engage Remnant troops in the area. *Make your way to the Jedi Academy. Primary Foes: *Stormtroopers *Shadow Troopers *Swamp Troopers Force Power Adjustments: *Lightsaber Throw from Level 2 to Level 3. Secret Areas: 0 Head up through the passageway to enter a big fight between Remnant troops and Republic soldiers. Watch out for the Merr-Sonn Troopers; Mind Trick them if you can to gain their help during the fight. Proceed through the hole in the far wall and jump up. You're entering the Academy's training grounds, and you'll encounter two Jedi facing off against Reborns and a Shadow Trooper in the next area. Help them out as best you can; this is a good place to put your third level of Lightning to work. Eventually the Trooper in the hallway above will fire his Merr-Sonn and break the glass; jump up (after you Mind Trick him) and proceed through the doorway nearby to come across another Jedi melee. You don't necessarily have to help out these fellows if you are too weak to or don't want to; in any event, head out the door around the corner to encounter two Shadow Troopers and two Reborn. This is a tough fight even if you don't have Jedi allies, but your Lightning may help to thin the crowd, especially if you blast the weaker Reborns first. If you win, or simply decide to run, head to the nearby passage and through the door. A short cutscene will play, after which you'll take on two Shadow Troopers. Kill them to reveal the hole beneath the stairs, through which you need to drop to enter the game's final level. 

 

Yavin - The Final Showdown  Objectives: *Find and defeat Desann. Secret Areas: 0 The rocks ahead can be destroyed to reveal a passage. You'll eventually find a corridor with a Small Shield Generator in it - the oddly moving wall nearby is illusory, so walk through it and proceed to the Hall of Flame. Use Push on the flames to shut off the fire before passing through, or else you'll be toast. The room here has three illusory Desanns. The passage to the right leads to a fake wall over an instant-death pit; the front passage leads to a mirror where Desann taunts you; and the left passage leads to a ramp over a small pit of fire. Cut the pipe in the ceiling to douse the flame, then drop down the hole. Push the walls here and walk through the passages until you notice another symbol on a wall, which you need to Push to reveal a hall of crushers. Speed through them to reach Desann's hideaway. Desann is tough, of course, mostly due to his overwhelming Force powers. Desann can use them on you indiscriminately, so you'll find yourself Pushed and Pulled during the fight, which leaves you defenseless and generally dead. He also enjoys jumping on your head, which knocks you down, also usually resulting in death. He has a Grip that is unbreakable if you don't have enough Force left for Push, and Lightning that has evolved from the annoyance it was at the hands of Shadow Troopers to a serious threat to your life. He wields his Lightsaber like a pro, switching Combat Styles rapidly and constantly throughout the fight. Fortunately, the machinery in the middle of the room imbues the recipient with enough Force power to wield him invincible for a short period of time, during which you should press on Desann hard. You activate it by Pulling the two symbols on the upper level of the chamber, after which a beam of light will appear. Jump through it to obtain temporary invincibility. During the time that you're invincible, switch to the Strong combat style, activate Force Speed, and attack. Desann will usually initiate a Speed of his own, but you'll still have enough time to slice through his defenses a few times before the invincibility shield falls away. If you managed to damage him at all, quicksave your game and run to the upper level. The beam activates every 60 seconds or so, and in the interval in between these occurences, you're at a severe disadvantage to Desann in terms of fighting ability. You can beat him without being invincible, but you might as well take every advantage that comes your way. I've noticed another fluky way to kill Desann. If you hide behind one of the pillars in the bottom area of the room, Desann will start walking slowly towards you. If you wait until the right moment, you can sometimes catch him unawares and use a Saber Throw to cut down the pillar, crushing him instantly. As I said, fluky, and very hard to replicate. (I've only done it once.) Still, something to try if you're bored. Here's another strategy from Harry Voyager: "It's not so much a technique, as it is a "How to get Lucky, Quickly". First I'll quick save right after the cutscene. Then I'll switch to strong style, and take a flying leap off the ledge at Desann, force push on the way down, and just before I touch ground, activate force speed. Once I'm fighting Desann, I'll just keep attacking and force pushing at the same time. It seems to throw him completely off balance (as well as all over the place). Desann ends up so busy defending himself that he doesn't start using his devastating force powers, and since his defence seems to be only about average, he ends up very dead, very fast." After Desann falls, the game, predictably enough, is over.
