About the Author
This is my second game walkthrough, the first being Star Trek Elite Force II.
As I am still new at this, any recommendations or constructive criticism are
very welcome. I will also be accepting tips and other strategies developed by
fellow players. If you would like to contact me, just send me an e-mail with
the words JA walkthrough in the subject line.
2. Weapons:    1) Lightsaber - The weapon of a Jedi. A beam of pure energy,
capable of slicing through virtually any known
substance and capable of blocking energy bolts.
Dangerous to both user and foe alike in hands
of a novice, but effective and deadly with the
guidance of a true master. Primary fire is
differing slashing and swinging attacks
depending on the player's movements. Secondary
fire is a force-powered lightsaber throw.
2) DL-44 Blaster Pistol - Possibly the most common firearm in
the galaxy due to its customizability.
Primary fire is an accurate single
bolt. Secondary fire is a charged
shot using up to five energy units.
3) E-11 Blaster Rifle - Once the weapon of choice of Imperial
Stormtroopers, this weapon is now used
by mercenaries and smugglers. Primary
fire is a slow but damaging shot.
Secondary fire is more rapid and as a
result even more inaccurate than the
primary fire. Secondary fire uses up
energy packs twice as fast as primary.
4) Tenloss Disruptor Rifle - Rips apart matter at the molecular
level. Primary fire is a fast shot
which almost instantaneously hits
its target. Secondary fire
utilizes the attached scope,
allowing for greater accuracy and
charged shots. A fully charged
shot can completely disintegrate
an enemy. A non-charged shot uses
three units of energy. A fully
charged shot uses thirty units.
5) Wookiee Bowcaster - A primitive weapon, it fires greenish
bolts of energy which are effective
against both personal shields and bodies.
Primary fire is either a single bolt or
a charged shot of up to 5 bolts.
Secondary fire is a highly reflective
shot which can bounce off walls. Uses
five energy units per shot.
6) Imperial Heavy Repeater - A weapon which definitely fits the
description more quantity than
quality. Like most rifles, it is
inaccurate at long range. Best for
up-close-and-personal ranges.
Primary fire is a spray of
metallic bolts. Secondary fire is
an energy grenade useful for
eliminating groups of enemies.
Secondary fire uses thirty units
of ammunition per use.
7) DEMP 2 Gun - An electromagnetic pulse gun. Most useful
against electronic devices. Primary fire is a
single bolt which affects droids. Secondary
fire is a charged shot capable of damaging
organic persons as well. The secondary fire
has splash damage within a radius of three
meters. A single shot uses eight units.
A fully charged secondary fire uses thirty.
8) Golan Arms FC-1 Flechette Weapon - Usually used by higher
ranking Stormtroopers,
this weapon is known for
the danger it poses to
both the victim and the
user. Primary shoots
hot shards of metal in a
shotgun-like spread.
Secondary fire releases
two bouncing mines, which
detonate either upon
contact with an enemy, or
otherwise detonate within
three seconds. Both
primary and secondary
fire use eight units of
ammunition.
9) Stouker Concussion Rifle - One of the most dangerous weapons
in the galaxy. Kills most targets
with a single shot. Primary fire
is a powerful explosive shot
which can launch enemies into the
air. Secondary fire is a burst of
ionized particles which almost
instantaneously reaches its
target and throws them violently.
Uses forty units of ammunition
for primary fire and fifty for
secondary fire.
0) Merr-Sonn PLX-2M Portable Missile System - A rocket launcher.
Primary fire
releases a single
dumb missile
which flies
straight to its
intended target.
Can be pushed.
Secondary fire
is a tracking
missile which
locks onto the
target. It can
be pushed away
but will re-seek
its target.
-) Throwable weapons
Thermal Detonator - A grenade which releases energy
and heat to destroy everything
around it. Primary fire is a time-
delayed detonator which explodes
after four seconds. Secondary fire
detonates on contact with any
surface. Ten may be carried at any
one time.
Detonation Packs - An explosive with a remote detonator.
Primary fire places the pack.
Secondary fire detonates any placed
detonation packs. May carry five.
Trip Mines - Useful against a pursuing enemy or as a
delaying tactic. Only 5 may be carried at
a time. A laser extends from the casing to
the nearest parallel surface. If either
the casing is fired upon or the beam is
broken the mine will detonate itself and
any other explosive devices nearby.
Some weapons use the same type of ammunition. For example, the blaster pistol
and rifle use blaster packs. The disruptor rifle, the bowcaster, the DEMP use
power cells. The repeater, the flechette, and the concussion rifle use metallic
bolts.
General Notes
On dueling single-bladed reborn: These are generally the easiest variant of the
reborn in Jedi Academy. Do not try to do the ground stab with any of the
reborn. More than half the time you will be jump kicked and be on the receiving
end of a ground stab yourself. The easiest strategy is the hop around like a
madman slicing them as you flip and twirl around the area. If its becoming too
hot a situation for you, use speed and run the heck out of there. You usually
have time to heal yourself before the reborn catches up with you and more often
than not the reborn will kill himself trying to reach you. Rolling stabs are
also useful.
Revision note: If you manage to jump on a Jedi's head and knock him down, the
ground stabs can be quite effective on the lower leveled duelists.
On dueling dual-sabered reborn: The key things are to keep on moving. The
moment you stop moving, the npc will either grip you or lightning you. So keep
moving. Another thing, always keep on jumping. Keep your reticle on the
opponent and you may even connect with a few lucky swings to his head or
shoulders. If he uses the saber barrier, throw your lightsaber and finish him
off.
On dueling lightstaff reborn: When they start doing their kata or twirls, just
throw. In between, use the same strategies as against the dual-sabered reborn.
A useful move, that is, if you're using dual sabers, is the DFA move. You can
on average connect on two of the strikes. The other two stances, that is, the
single saber and lightstaff provide no easy methods to rid yourself of this
enemy except the rolling stab. Never attack when they begin a kata unless you
throw your lightsaber.
Also key to dueling are acrobatics. For example, if you're cornered up against
a wall, use the wall-grab jump and get out of the corner you've backed up into.
Or just jump over the person and stab them from behind. If you're knocked down
and the opponent is going for a groundstab, just forward or back kick them.
Again, don't try your own groundstab, throw the lightsaber. Jumping also allows
you to land on top of an enemy and possibly force him to the ground much like
a kick. Another useful combination of attacks and evasion is the cartwheel.
Dharmon also reports that similar to the reborn in JO, thermal detonators are
effective against the duelists after you've eliminated their cultist buddy.
However, don't try to use this on blue and red duelists as they will push it
back in your face.
Regarding Saber Locks: Try to win every saber lock. I know this is a
no-brainer but depending on which direction you push while in the saber
lock, e.g. left, right, forward, or back, you will almost always perform an
instant kill move. With a single lightsaber, the finishing moves are either a
stab to the chest, or an upward diagonal swipe from right to left. With two
lightsabers, again, either a stab to the chest, a move where you knock the
enemy's lightsaber away and perform a double cut at chest height, or also a
third, and most rare occurance, where you throw your second lightsaber around
the enemy and slice him up as you hold off his lightsaber. With a lightstaff,
you perform an upward slice to finish off the enemy.
Mission Tiers: You only have to complete four of the five missions in a given
tier. Because I went through all the missions, I came out with three extra
force points. However, these aren't particularly necessary. The extra force
points can be used to beef up your offense if you're light by investing in
lightning or grip and to get mind trick or heal if you're dark.
Force Powers: Force sense is by far one of the most useful powers. At any level
force sense will allow you to see mission objectives that are nearby. Powerups
are colored yellow, enemies in red, allies in green, and objectives in blue.
The most practical use of this power is to guide you through a level. The best
case of such use is on the Ord Mantell mission vs. Boba Fett. After you rush
through either door near your fighter, sense will enable you to see the three
detonators you must plant near each stockpile. This force power is also useful
on the Bakura and Kril'Dor missions, as they allow you to "see" the bombs you
must deactivate. The above tip was recommended by Jean Eric-Preis.
The next useful powers are mind trick and absorb. I didn't really find the dark
powers all that useful except lightning and grip, but that may be because I
stayed primarily light in order to get absorb and protection. Note that mind
trick can be used on the Wampa as well as the Rancor. Bizarrely I could only
manage to trick the Rancor once and every other time it resisted the mind trick.
The above tip was submitted by Julius Petty.
Grip is one of the crucial powers if you go darkside. Not only does it lower
the defense of your saber wielding enemies (at least temporarily), but you can
also use it on the weaker saber enemies to toss them over cliffs or into lava.
Use of grip and saber throw simultaneously is also an efficient way of
eliminating reborn. This tip was posted by Lasse Pedersen and Adrian Toh.
Note that you can also push the enemies as they are gripped and send them
flying.
Against normal enemies, e.g. the non-lightsaber guys, push and pull are useful
powers. Speed + fast style are an efficient way for killing the maximum number
of stormtroopers possible. The lightsaber twirls, e.g. crouch + w + attack cuts
through normal enemies like butter. For bigger concentrations of enemies, use
mind trick to even the odds by tricking the trooper with the most powerful
weapon. This tip was submitted by Dharmon.
I have to agree with Dharmon. Mind trick was my most frequently used force
power on most missions. Mind trick is most useful on levels such as Vjun
against those Hazard Troopers, on Dosuun when you're weaponless, and on the
Byss Dreadnaught mission. I'm sure there are more places where mind trick can
be used effectively, but these were the missions where I found it the most
expedient.
Another tip regarding non-jedi submitted by Jeremy Guebert:
I've noticed that the only stormtroopers with weapons better than the standard
blaster rifle always have orange shoulder pads. (with the exception of Hazard
Troopers) (this info is based on Padawan difficulty only... please correct me
if this is different on higher difficulty levels).
This is quite true, and I'm surprised I forgot to include it in the previous
revisions. If you take out the officer or the higher ranking stormtrooper,
usually wearing grey or tan colors the other stormtroopers will scatter
allowing you to hunt each one down instead of trying to hold off several shots
at a time with your lightsaber.
Dueling Tip submitted by Robert Lavigne: I have a tip for single or dual saber
fighting that works great in almost all circumstances.  This is a trick I
picked up playing RUNE a few years back, and is incredibly effective in most
sword fighting games I have tried.  The idea is to start with a quick tap on
any strafe button, and then immediately redirecting in the opposite direction
and hitting the attack button.  This consistently lures your opponent(s) to
one side while also ensuring that you swing horizontally which keeps away any
opponent you're not hacking to bits.  Then of course if you persist in the same
direction your character spins on himself and swings his saber around neatly,
hard to direct but deadly and hard to defend for ennemies.  I greatly enjoy
battling multiple reborns in this fashion, and I usually save the game before
such duels and then return over and over again...
Other random general notes submitted by Sauli Aalto:
First dueling with the reborn. When dueling with multiple of them
simultaneously, acrobatic-strategy is the safest, but when there is only
one of them - with any kind of weapon, it has proven to be very lethal
attacking him using simultaneously force speed rank 2 or 3 and very rapid
lightsaber attack (tapping attack-button like a madman). Usually this combo
makes you able to finish a reborn with single raber at ease before he even
gets chance to hit you. If his saber is on your way, he might cause some
minor damage to your shields, but less than 20 points even though. With
dual-sabered reborn this tactic is effeccient usually only from behind
(but hey, correct timing with force speed and you have plenty of time to
circle around him and then slash him good).
Additionally, force speed and saber -combo can be very useful also with
multiple reborn as a startoff for the fight, but to try this you should
have enough room to pull back if situation gets too hot and also see your
opponents beforehand (ie. from distance with force sense) to know their
position (only way to be not surprised if force speed fades out sooner
as you expected.
My second point was about force abilities since I have found force grip
the most useful of all force powers. At level3 you are able to kill almost
all of the regular enemies with a very simple trick: Grip the bad guy
off the soil and smash him back to ground. And this can be done with a
single sharp vertical mouse movement. Barely bacause this I prefer growing
grip to the highest level as the first power in the beginning of the game
(regardless of wether you wish to become light or dark jedi)
And the tactical use of this little griptrick follows: On most of the
missions you are able to see enemies beforehand using force sense. All
single guards are very easy to eliminate silently and gaining no damage.
Using grip doesn't usually catch attention of other, more distant enemies
on the same area, but using saber does. This makes you able to take out a
few lonely enemies on large areas before the majority of them notices you.
Then, when you face larger squads of stormtroopers, one of them has usually
annoying flechetteweapon or even rocketlauncher. If you rush close enough
before the firing begins, you are able to take out that bastard at once. After
that, dealing with the rest of the squad will be a lot easier. Even if you fail
to finish him to ground, he drops his weapon and spends a while searching for
it unarmed (and you get a second chance to grip). Also it is useful to notice
how long radius grip actually has. Sometimes you are able to pick enemies off
ledges to same level with you using grip (and they, of course, lose their
weapons same time).
Finally grip is useful also against the reborn and even the real dark jedi -
used as combo with force absorb. Thus you are able to grip the dark one and
punch him to the ground several times - and they are helpless, because if they
try to do something against you, you only gain more force power (and that is
more time to keep him gripped). Punching to ground three or four times is
usually lethal for the most of the reborn. The real dark jedi don't die on this
but even though they will lose a huge bit of energy. When facing multiple
reborn simultaneously, you can also use grip to convert one of them as a hammer
to hit the others. Only weakness of this strategy is that when absorb fades
away after awhile gripping, you are totally out of force power for a while.
More Force suggestions submitted by Svetzolar Todorov:
I noticed it was more focused on lightside powers and grip and lighning from
the dark side powers. So I thought I might present you some useful info about
the drain and rage powers. Let`s start with drain. On lvl1 it`s only draining
from a close range. Lvl 2 is like lightning level 2 - affects one target from
a greater range. Level 3 is the ultimate  - it affects everyone in line of
sight; it seems it is quite like lightning though it heals in addition to
damage. I found it useful mostly when maxed to lvl.3 - that`s the only way you
can lose less force points, gain more healthpoints (about 1/4 higher than your
base), and not waste too much time on doing so. You should better max it early
in the game or after you go through Hoth base to get the most of this force.
It`s not to be underestimated though as it adds additional health points (well
it`s actually for a short time but it`s useful when in the heat of the battle).
Also if you drain non-jedi you drain their life-force allowing you to kill
them with drain. Draining Reborn and Cultists though drains their force points
only, but I think draining them of health occurs when you are very close to
them, actually right beside them. When you drain them that way there is a
moment of 2-3 seconds after the draining when they stay with deactivated
lightsaber and do nothing so you can use it to your advantage. I can`t remember
of anything else about that force power so I'll head to rage now. Rage lvl.1
is rather annoying - your health goes down to 1 but you get 10 seconds of
immortality. Lev.2 is more or less the same thing. To use rage on lvls 1 and
2 means to be sure you`re gonna kill your opponents and to be sure to have heal
or drain to restore your health. Rage gives you a nice damage protection too.
The ultimate rage comes on lvl.3 at the cost of only a small part of your
health points for 10 seconds, 50%speed , 90% damage immunity, which allows you
to dive into the big melee and rip heads off without caring about loss of
shields or health( except you get a really nasty hit while raged but on the
rate of speed you`re moving it`d happen only if you`re not careful), and of
course, immortality. Why take rage? 1st beacuse you can kill Tavion on Jedi
Master with a couple of blows of your lightsaber :) 2ndly it makes fighting any
saberwielders faster and safer. You may sacrifice a grip fora rage if you like,
it`ll be more handy at times. Like 3rdly on saberlocks. When you enter a
saberlock immediately tap rage (which i forgot to mention, makes your attacks
stronger) and chop your opponent. It works ALWAYS unless your enemy escapes
the saberlock which i doubt he can do as fast. Also you can deal with those
nasty hazard troopers (though a bit roughly). That`s all I remember now for
rage. This force power shouldn`t be underestimated for it`s first 2 levels
because of the massive bonuses it provides on lvl3. I`ve tested those two force
powers on Jedi Master and it`s been quite the test - they proved their worth as
I found out that dark side is easier than light side.:) Let me give you my
force power recommendation : you max them out one by one in the following order
lightning, heal/drain(better heal),rage,absorb and grip. I don`t have anything
against other powers : I think they`re all useful - there aren`t any that are
given without purpose, but those five, I`ve figured, are what can make you a
powerful adversary.
3.1 First Missions
3.1.1 Yavin Jungle
From the start, head forward through the weeds in the stream, and up to the
right. Cut down the tree. Head upstream and face two reptiles. Kill both or let
Rosh shoot them. Proceed ahead. When you can proceed no longer get up onto the
streambank with the stone building. After Rosh shows off his growing Force
powers, enter. To the left is another one of those weird reptiles. Saber him
and walk forward. Cross the bridge. On the other side, to the left, behind some
rocks is another reptile. In the clearing ahead, you'll hear Rosh comment that
you can make another bridge with a cut tree. Head up your new bridge. Exit left
and face another reptile. Just past it, you'll come upon a cutscene which
introduces some more familiar enemies: stormtroopers. And, surprise, so soon,
your first duel. This guy is a dead pushover, with emphasis on DEAD. After he's
passed on to join the Force, a cutscene will lead you into the next level.
3.1.2 Training Area
As you start, follow Kyle's instructions and enter the door in front of you.
Wait for a cutscene and enter the next room, where you will face several
remotes. Don't worry, you won't face them all at the same time. The best
strategy is to use saber throw to eliminate them rather than having to slice at
each one. In the next room is a broken bridge. Jump over the gap and push the
different colored wall in front of you. Walk through and prepare for battle.
Apparently Luke has a saber wielding droid. After he's delimbed or whatever,
proceed onwards into the door just past a stone pillar on the left side of the
room. Cutscene with Jaden. Listen to Kyle give some advice and then pull the
switch. Head forwards and take a right at the next opportunity. Head downstairs
The second column on the right, furthest from you holds a medpack. Push to
reveal. Remember what Kyle said? Use Force Sense and see the stones you must
pull to make it out of the room. There are three total. The first one is to the
right of the door as you enter. That said and done, when on the upper level,
exit left and through the series of doors. In a room with a pillar, turn right
and take the door on the left. In the next room you'll have to use speed to
make it through either door. It doesn't particularly matter. Enter the single
door. By the end you'll transition to a cutscene which will introduce you to
the next level.
3.2 Tier 1 Missions
3.2.1 Mercenary Activity - Tatooine
Recommended Force Power: Mind Trick Lvl. 1
Recommended Weapons: Blaster Rifle, Bowcaster, a throwable weapon of choice
Would you like to know why I suggested bringing along the Blaster Rifle? Well,
if you go without it, you only have 30 shots with the blaster pistol. With the
rifle, you have a full loadout. First things first, stay out of Chewbacca's
line of fire. Yes, yes, he's a lovable furball but his aim sucks especially
since he hits you more than he hits the enemies. As the mission starts, there
are four enemies in this area. One Rodian, two blaster toting mercs, and a
Trandoshan armed with a repeater. I suggest eliminating one or two of them with
your pistol as your saber defense skills are somewhat limited. After they are
all dead, retreat into the last alcove on the right and enter the door. A
Trandoshan awaits you to the left, a merc to the right, and two Rodians further
in the room. Continue straight ahead, through the door and exit through the
right. Two more mercs await. Either interrupt their conversation rudely or
politely wait for them to finish and then kill both. Exit out the door. To the
immediate right is a Trandoshan. To the left in the main area are two mercs.
One you can snipe with your weapon of choice but the other you will have to
kill in person. There are two more enemies in the adjoining two alcoves to the
right, a merc with a bowcaster, and another Trandoshan with a repeater. After
they are both killed, two more enemies will run out of the door in the alcove
with the merc. A Gran with thermal detonators will also enter the area from a
walkway above. The simplest way to deal with these numerous enemies is to snipe
each one with your pistol. When the two mercs are eliminated, three more
enemies will enter from the door nearest the ship parts. After they are dead,
walk into the next area through the door they entered from. If you would like
to refill health and shields, the door which the two mercs ran out from
contains a shield generator and a medpack. In the next area are a Trandoshan
and a merc to the left. Mind trick both to make it go easier on yourself. Exit
the hallway through a door to the right as you face the wall where the two
enemies were and come upon Kyle's ship, the Raven's Claw.
Secret Area: The rightmost alcove behind the boxes has a belt of grenades and a
shield booster.
The last alcove of the open space leads to a cutscene. After the cutscene, mind
trick the two guards and slice and dice. Exit through the door ahead and meet
the checkpoint. After the checkpoint, proceed cautiously into the next room.
Inside are several trip mines, easily avoided, a Trandoshan, and two Rodians,
one armed with a blaster, the other with a disruptor rifle. Mind trick the
Trandoshan who is to the left of the room next to some boxes. After you kill
him, stay behind the boxes. The Rodian with the blaster is probably running
around by now, so kill him and then the one with the disruptor by either using
speed or mind trick. Exit through the door behind the Rodian. Activate speed or
have mind trick ready and kill the Gran at the head of the stairs. Past him, to
the right, are two Weequays and a merc. Mind trick all three and kill them. A
healthpack and shields are in the room. Exit through the door onto the walkway
overlooking the Millennium Falcon. Mind trick the Rodian as he enters through
the door across from you and kill him. Keep in mind that even though you mind
trick him he still may fire so don't run straight at him, run along either side
of the walkway. Enter through the door and through the next door and see two
Rodians. Mind trick both and kill and proceed up the elevator. Hit the switch,
and enter the other half of the control room to meet the new and improved
Reborn. After trading a few taunts, cut him down and hit the other switch to
deactivate the tractor beam. Head back onto the elevator which will disembark
you a level below where you originally got on. Turn around 180 degrees and exit
through the door to see Chewbacca, hale and hearty. Through the smallish door
on the right, opposite end of the hallway, you see the Falcon once again. There
are an average of two enemies in each alcove. The first alcove on the left has
two mercs, the next has two Rodians, and there are two more Rodians in the
area. One is by the first two Rodians, and the other one is hiding behind boxes
on the far side of the area. Once all are dead, Kyle arrives.
3.2.2 Droid Recovery - Tatooine
Recommended Force Power: Heal Lvl. 1
Recommended Weapons: Blaster Rifle, Bowcaster, a throwable weapon of choice
From the start area, head right. You'll come upon Jawas under attack by three
Sand People. There is a fourth up to the right with a rifle sniping at you.
Past the arch the fourth Sand Person was firing at you from are three more
Sand People approaching from the right. On the left side of the rock on the
left, you will find a Disruptor Rifle and accompanying ammo. A belt of grenades
is behind the area from which the Sand People rushed you. Head further into the
canyon. When you can see the moisture farm up ahead, four more Tuskens (Sand
People) will attack you, one armed with a rifle, and three going for
hand-to-hand. A fifth one is on the cliff above the farm. Enter the farm.
Clear each cave section until you reach a door. Inside is a secret area.
Secret Area: Inside is a large shield booster.
Backtrack until you see a path leading up on the left. A few more Sand People
will have spawned. Clear them and head up. At the first turn, behind some
explosive crates are two blaster packs. Head up and exit outside. There are two
Sand People waiting to the left. As you approach the first building on the left,
three Sand People rush. There is a sniper hiding in the building on the right.
It appears he's guarding some supplies, medpack, small shield booster, and
Thermal Detonators. After that, cross the canyon using either of the arches.
Three Sand People are on the level area, and another is perched atop one of the
buildings. Head past all the buildings to the back of the area and enter
another cavern. Inside are more Tusken Raiders. To the right of the first
cavern are shields and a belt of thermal detonators. Exit the area to find a
Sandcrawler. To the left of it facing the back are three Sand People. Go around
to the front of the Sandcrawler. Take out the four Sand People, and head for
the door. When Jaden says, "I wonder if I can get up there," go back out and
pull down the mechanical crane. Jump on and let it go back up. Upstairs are
three enemies. Two on the "ground" level, and one on a catwalk above. To go
face-to-face with the third one, jump up onto the boxes on the right and onto
the catwalk. Hit the switch. Transitional cutscene. Another Raider shows up on
the uppermost catwalk. Jump back down and go to the opposite side of the room.
The elevator is blocked by a cart of some kind. Pull it and head up the lift.
Kill the Raider and head through the door. Through two more doors, you will
come across a molten metal pit. Notice that the side closest to you is quite
cool. You must be wondering why it is cooler? The simple answer is that the
pipe to the left and below is dripping water. Throw the lightsaber and cut the
pipe. Head across and through the door on the right. Inside and to the right
are flames. Don't even try to run through them. Instead, go to the left most
aisle. Notice that one of the flames intermittently dies? Jump when its gone
while hugging the wall. Kill the Raider on the other side. Hit the switch by
the Jawas. Go around them to a lift that was unreachable due to the flames.
Take it down. Three Tusken Raiders await you in the first room. Head through
the next door. Throw your lightsaber at the enemy you can see through the boxes
to the right. Then push the cart. Kill the four remaining Tuskens and head for
the back of the room. Pull the next cart to reveal the R5 unit. Hit use on the
droid. It will take the lift down. Drop down after it. There are several
Tuskens waiting, six to be precise. After they're dead, the level will end.
A cutscene showing the Jedi trainees relaxing. Rosh is sure acting strange, eh?
3.2.3 Emergency Assistance - Bakura
Recommended Force Power: Mind Trick Lvl. 2
Recommended Weapons: Disruptor, Bowcaster, throwable weapon of choice
Walk around the platform heading in the direction of the main door. Notice
all the dead workers and the marks that look suspiciously like those left by
a lightsaber on your landing platform. Enter and head for the security station
on the left. Here you'll find out your objectives. Secret area in the room.
Secret Area: As you enter the room, there should be a grate to the right of the
door you just entered from. Cut open the grating and help yourself to shields
and health.
Heading for either door will alert two stormtroopers who enter from the door by
the console. The other door holds a tripmine trap, a ammunition generator, a
medpack, and three blaster packs. Back to the door with the stormtroopers. Kill
both. A secret area lies under the stairs in plain sight.
Secret Area: Thermal detonators and a large shield booster.
Heading upstairs, there are two more stormtroopers. The door leading left takes
you to stealth-cloaked enemies. Past them is a control room. But return to the
first hallway. Shoot the mines and walk outside. Directly in front is a set of
explosives. Use to deactivate. Return to the control room where two enemies are
waiting, a stormtrooper armed with a repeater and one armed with a rifle. After
both are dead, head past them and come upon a hallway of flames and steam.
Hug the left wall to get around the first obstacle. For the steam, wait until
the steam from the right side of the wall dissappates and then run through. For
the last set of fire, walk onto the panel and jump when the flames from the
upper left die down. Exit through the door ready for the automated sentry to
the right. Down the ramp is another stealthed trooper. Notice the door with a
security lock. Head back up the ramp and through the other door. You can jump
over all of the mines except the last set. You shoot the one on the left by
hugging the right wall. In the next room are two stormtroopers and an officer.
Mind trick one of the stormtroopers and slice up the leftovers. The officer
holds a key which will open up the security lock. But first, go up the steps
leading to four mines. Shoot the middle two mines and jump past. Two more spec
ops stormtroopers await you outside. Kill both and deactivate the second bomb.
Return to the locked door and open it. Two stormtroopers await you outside.
Cross the walkway and go to the right. Kill the stormtrooper with his back to
you and continue. Enter the door and kill the officer and three stormtroopers.
Collect the officer's key. Face the stealth-cloaked commando at the end and kill
him. Open the door, which leads back to the room with the security console.
Backtrack and this time take the left path from the bridge. Two foolish workers,
while trying to kill you, accidentally blow themselves up. Peek around the
corner. The stormtrooper all alone right there is going to run to a stationary
blaster if you get any closer. So don't let him and snipe him. Take the level
path and enter the first door you come to. Kill the stealth commando. Exit out
the other door. Take a right immediately and take the lift down. Circle around
the base of the tower to find a secret area.
Secret Area: Medpack and detonators.
Head back up. Through the next door in line are two stormtroopers. After you've
killed them, go to the back of the room and exit. Outside are two commandos and
an officer. When all are dead, deactivate the third bomb. Secret Area nearby.
Secret Area: After deactivating the bomb, go around the four storage tanks to
find some health and shields.
If you need or want shield or ammunition, follow the walkway and down some
stairs. Otherwise, go back to the building in the middle and open the door with
a key you should have grabbed from the last officer. Inside are three enemies.
The first is a stealth commando between the first and second columns, and
another stealth trooper and stormtrooper on the top level. After the first
stealth trooper is dead, you can pull the two up top down one at a time and
finish them. If you go downstairs, health, shields, and grenades await you. If
instead you take the lift up, take a door, you will be in close proximity to
two bombs. One is in the room below you. The second and last one is past the
door to the right on the top level. You have to jump to reach the door. The one
on the top level is guarded by two stormtroopers and a commando. You can see
the commando using sight. Deactivate this bomb and exit through the door. Two
stormtroopers will spawn on the upper floor as will another commando on a
catwalk below. Kill everyone in the room and deactivate the last bomb. Inside
the room is the last and final secret area.
Secret Area: There's a set of energy conduits that go around the two sides of
the room. Jump up to where they meet to find the secret area. Contributed by
_SeHT.
Take the lift back up and jump across to the platform the two stormtroopers
were on. Exit through the door behind them and come upon two commandos. Two
stormtroopers are in the next room past them. Drop down and surprise two more
stormtroopers. Exit out the door and turn left. Kill anything and everything on
the way. Remember that door which led back to the security console? It was
reached by going completely around the building and through a door across a
walkway, which returns you to the main room where you first discovered your
mission objectives. When you return to the main door, more enemies await, in
the form of four stormtroopers. Two to the right and two to the left. If you
have mind trick 3, mind trick one or two and kill the rest. Head back across
the walkways to your ship to end the level.
It has been brought to my attention as well as through my browsing on the
Jedi Academy Forums that you can't take the long way to return to your ship.
You can only take the path I have listed above, otherwise the main door will
not open. The solutions to this are quite easy. First, make sure you have
disarmed all five bombs. Second, take the path listed above and enter the room
from the right of the entrance. Otherwise, if you don't want to walk around,
just noclip through the wall.
3.2.4 Merchant Rescue - Blenjeel
Recommended Force Powers: Force Heal Lvl. 2
Recommended Weapons: You really won't need any so the choice is yours.
You start off the mission by crash-landing on the planet. You mission is to
retrieve the parts necessary to repair your ship. However, there are a bunch of
creatures similar to the sandworms in Dune between you and the pieces. The key
part of the level is to stay for the most part off the sands. Any time you run
more than three seconds on the sand, you're probably doing something wrong.
The first piece is the power cell. The way to get this part is to jump on top
of the piece of wreckage in front of you. From there, jump from piece to piece
until you see a brown rock in front of a big stone formation. Hop on top of the
whole structure. You ought to be able to see the power cell on the ground. Pick
it up and jump on top of the pillar-like rock formation. As you jump from rock
to rock, they begin to sink so return as fast as you can to your ship and place
the power cell in the second compartment on the right. Go back outside. The
power coupling is near where you got the power cell, by another group of rocks.
From these rocks, jump down, grab it and immediately jump onto a nearby box.
Make your way back and place it inside. The damper is the furthest from you,
near the front end of the merchant ship, by another group of rocks. Make your
way to these rocks and then grab it. Immediately after grabbing it, jump back
onto the rocks and make your way back to the ship. The power convertor is in
the front most merchant ship piece. Make your way here by first going from the
back piece. Jump inside and onto the walkway, over the railing, using the box.
Past the door and to the right is the convertor. Return to your ship, and place
the last part. End of level.
Andy Winters submitted the following tip: For the most part, you can use Force
Speed to get to any of the destinations.  Instead of jumping between pieces of
wreckage or boulders, choose the "safe" area you want to go to and use Force
Speed to get there.  Also, you can throw thermal detonators on normal mode to
attract the attention of the worms and move them away from your location before
you run.
This was a pretty useful strategy. Now I understand why there were so many
grenade belts strewn through the map. I kept wondering if they were a way to
kill the sand burrowers, but now we know one of the uses for them.
Another thing a few people have submitted. You can actually kill a sand
burrower or two with your thermal detonators, but they'll just respawn again.
3.2.5 Cult Investigation - Corellia
Recommended Force Power: Force Protection Lvl. 1
Recommended Weapons: Blaster Rifle, Disruptor, throwable weapon of choice
You start in front of a door you cannot open. If you walk on the ledge to the
right you find the first secret area.
Secret Area: Medpack, small shield booster, detonation packs.
Jump from one of the L-shaped pipes (there are two of them on the back of the
tram) on to the top of the car. Kill the two mercs up top and then drop down.
Turn around and kill the two mercs in the room with the droids. Go back to the
last car and kill the remaining merc. Pick up the det packs if you like and hit
the switch. You can now run on the connectors between cars. Jump up on top of
the car. Proceed ahead. On the next car, a Weequay starts to shoot at you with
his bowcaster. Reply in turn with your blaster. Drop down slowly and jump
across to the next car. Jump on top of the boxes and get back to the top of the
car. On the next car a Rodian will shoot at you. Below is a merc armed with
a blaster rifle. Take him out if you like, and then jump across, staying up top.
Here comes another duel. He's another easy kill. Another merc is in the room
below. You can break the glass and drop down and kill him. To get back up top,
jump on either of the big L-pipes and jump back up top. Gently slide down to
the bottom level of the car. Jump across. Enter the room and kill the three
mercs. One to the right as you enter, and the other two on the far side of the
room. Exit the room. Turn around and backpedal. You should see the tip of a
Weequay's head. Snipe him and then jump to the next car. Jump onto the walkways
on the left or right of the car, each supported by two guidewires. Drop down.
If you hear a conversation and you can't see anyone, use sense, they're most
likely on the other side of the tram. Enter through the door the merc with the
repeater is guarding. Inside are two mercs. After both are dead, examine the
raised section of plating. It is in fact an elevator. Ride it up. You should
be in a room with a blue force field. See the red fuse boxes on either side?
Either saber 'em or shoot them. I recommend shooting, personally b/c you'll get
shot a couple of times by the two mercs, a Rodian and a Weequay behind the
force field. Take the time to admire the huge amount of ammunition before you.
Unfortunately, you can't pick up any. Oh well. You can however pick up the trip
mines and break through the glass up top. Jump onto the yellow canisters and
run across the connectors, there are two of them and they're grey. Cross the
next connector, there's only one. Move forward cautiously. There is a Rodian
with a disruptor up ahead. I don't think you can snipe him so the alternative
is to drop, use speed and run to the side to the left or right of the metal
ramp. Secret area.
Secret Area: Look back to the car you just jumped from. Standing to either of
the side of this car you should be able to notice the lights of an ammo
generator, jump across to find a medikit, small shield booster and ammo
generator.
Heal up whatever HP damage you took, and speed up and slice him. Snipe the merc
across the way. Cross on the shipment of pipes, and snipe the next two visible
mercs. Drop down, jump across. Checkpoint! There's another duelist to your left
as you enter the room. Kill him and also the merc in the room. Bomb? Hey, its
that yellow thing in the middle of the tram car. Hit it and go forward. There
is no urgency so suck up the shields and ammo generators in the room as
necessary. There are three mercs ahead. Two you can see on the next car, and
the other one is on your tram to the left of the exit. Snipe the ones you can
and jump across. On the next car are two more visible enemies, a Rodian and a
Weequay. Shoot both and jump across. There are two more mercs on this tram
car. Kill both and then also the Weequay across the way. You probably see your
next duel if you're looking closely. Kill him as well as the merc inside.
Before you walk in and end the mission, consider jumping up on top of this
front tram car to find a secret area.
Secret Area: Above are a shield booster and health medpack.
Walk to the controls and hit use. Mission accomplished.
The last two secrets were submitted by Abu Sayeed Ahad.
A cutscene introduces you to your next mission, the snowy world of Hoth.
I'm going with the standard loadout of disruptor, bowcaster, and grenades.
3.3 Ice Planet Hoth
3.3.1 Ice Planet Hoth
Recommended Weapons: DEMP gun
As you start out, even though Jaden thinks he should use the Taun Tauns, you
really don't need them. Its more of a hassle this early than it is any use.
Secret Area: Before proceeding forward, go into the cave behind your starfighter
and investigate. Kill the wampa within and go past him to find a pack of trip
mines and health.
Advance until you can see the outline of an Imperial and let fly blaster bolts.
Snipe every single snowtrooper you can see. Advance until you can see their
outlines in the fog and snipe each one. When you see a group of four, and an
accompanying E-Web stationary blaster cannon, snipe the one on the left first.
He's the one who runs for the blaster so if you eliminate him first you should
have an easy time with the other three. Keep moving after you take a shot so
