Version History
---------------
Version .40 - 9/18/08 - 9/19/08
--Guide started. Trying to juggle working on this and playing through another
save of Final Fantasy XII. Next update should be forthcoming.
Version .70 - 9/24/08
--Almost there. I'm so glad I have almost all of next week off. Huzzahs are in
order! In any case, I did the walkthrough up until Mission 7. Also, I added
more extra information, and also more of the "necessary" stuff to make the
guide feel more complete, seeing as how I was too lazy to do it last time.
Version 1.10 - 9/27/08
--First completed version! I completed the walkthrough, added a few of the
Extras sections and also worked on some of the Basics information. Other things
include the finding of the last Holocron on Felucia (thanks to a tip), and also
fixes of errors and other things. Still working on adding more but I'm glad I
got this off the ground. Oh, and hail most of the week off! Schwing!
Version 1.25 - 9/29/08
--I added a few more sections, including the Bosses section. I also got a tip
for that pesky Holocron in Felucia and one of two I was missing on Imperial
Raxus Prime, leaving only one left I'm missing. I finished the Holocrons
section by adding the Death Star group. Other additions consist of minor fixes,
including a format change for the pre-mission information.
Version 1.30 - 9/30/08
--Tiny update. I really wanna get more of the prefacing information up but I'm
being a little lazy or distracted I like to say by other things. For now, I
almost finished the Bosses section and I also finished the Holocrons, both in
the Walkthrough and in the Holocrons section itself, thanks to a few more tips.
More to come in the near future.
Version 1.50 - 10/2/08
--Well, welcome to October. I got a bigger update this time around. Added more
of the Basics info. I also made a few minor corrections in the walkthrough,
particularly about the Holocrons (like the numbers and such). Lots of other
things too. I'm still not done with FFXII and my break is over /_\ (saddude).
I also recently bought Burnout Paradise but I'm trying to resist the urge to
play it since I've got this and FFXII to keep me busy. Also the fuckers at
Gamestop didn't give me a damn case! I digress.
Here's what's new:
-Force Powers, Force Combos, Force Talents started under Basics
-Added a little preface to the Walkthrough
-Added a few submitted tips
-Bosses section completed
-Updated the Contact Info section
-Cheats Section added
-Updated a few Boss strategies
-Minor fixes
Version 1.60 - 10/8/08
--Another decent break from college. Love it. Well, it's almost over now
anyway. I wanted to make this a bigger update, but I'm still working on adding
more stuff and info to some sections (you can blame FFXII for my continued
procrastination; but I'm almost done with it). For now, I made a bunch of small
fixes, and I added a new section dedicated (unfortunately) to information
regarding the glitches in this game. I also added a few tips to some of the
Boss strategies. More to come soon.
Version 1.75 - 10/12/08
--This time I was able to get a little more info on. Still working on some
things, plus I'm making another small guide on the side. Finished my business
with FFXII though, so at least that's not eating up my time. In any case, I
made a bunch of fixes in some information, including correcting a few mission
objectives. I also added a slew of tips and stuff of that nature. I'm still
considering a few more and may add them in the future as well.
Version 1.80 - 10/18/08
--Another update. I finished the Basics section, minus the General Tips, but
that is something usually add near the end of my guides anyway. I also finished
the Cheats section. I'm glad I got most of what I needed out of the way. Dead
Space is out and I'm currently spending some time playing that. I'll probably
be making a few minor updates on this here and there during that time. Some
other small additions in this update include a very important revelation about
the DEFAULT TEXT glitch, so go ahead and read up. I also made a lot of strategy
revisions with some enemies in general situations throughout the walkthrough,
as well as a few revisions with Boss Strategies, including a small submitted
tip for one.
***NOTE: Also, this is something that's a few weeks old, but I forgot to
mention it. I figured I'd just make a note of it for those who don't keep up to
date on gaming related news. The Force Unleashed is getting downloadble content
(DLC). The DLC should be available before the end of the year. It includes a
new level and a few more skins.

About The Author
----------------
I don't have much to say about myself. Sometimes I'll pointlessly use the
Version History in my guides to discuss (vent) briefly what's going on in the
life of Axel. All I can say is that since I've started doing this, I've really
enjoyed it. So here we are, with yet another guide. Schwing!
About The Force Unleashed
-------------------------
There are quite a few good Star Wars games out there now. My favorite,
strangely enough, will probably always be the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade game.
Games like KOTOR rank up there as the best. This latest entry, The Force
Unleashed takes a new spin on things. It's an overall fun game with a few minor
setbacks, bringing perhaps the greatest use of Force Powers since Jedi Outcast
and KOTOR. It also gets the rare privilege of being canon. Hopefully you'll
enjoy this game.
Using This Guide
----------------
When using this guide, make note of the quickjumps provided. Use the ctrl+f
function and the codes provided in the Table of Contents to jump to a section
of the guide fast. If you have questions, or want to send me some info, please
read the FAQ section first and also read the Contact Info section before
e-mailing me. This is important so please know the basic info before you drop

|  Basics  bc00  |
[+]------------[+]
First let's go over all the basics to the game. Controls and all important info
regarding your character's progression will be found here.
Controls     [bc01]
--------
I'll be laying out the controls as they apply to both the PS3 and Xbox 360.
However, and this is important, I will only be referring to the PS3 controls
through this guide. The application is really easy to figure out, as far as
which button corresponds to its console counterpart, so don't worry about it.

experience points. Earn enough and you gain spheres to use in three facets for
leveling up the Apprentice. The first we'll look at are Force Powers.

General Tips     [bc05]

COMING SOON
[+]------------------[+]
|  Walkthrough  wk00   |
[+]------------------[+]
This walkthrough will take you through the game mission by mission. I'll be
breaking down each individual stage by mission objectives. This guide was
written on the "normal" difficulty setting of Sith Warrior. You will notice
significant differences playing it on any other difficulty. Let's get started.
So begins the adventure. The classic Star Wars style opening will run, followed
by a quick cutscene. Once you have control, it's time to rock, Dark Side style.
_____________                __________________________________________________
Introduction \______________/ This will be a day long remembered...
_____________/   Kashyyyk   \__________________________________________________
[wkin]
Ah yes. You now have the reins with the Dark Lord of the Sith himself. Darth
Vader's style is not too dissimilar from what you'll be experiencing soon with
the Apprentice. He does have a few noteworthy differences however. Instead of
Force Lightning, Vader has his classic Choke attack which you can use by
hitting Triangle. Other than that, his moves are an available future copy of
what you'll be getting soon enough. Schwing! It's also important to note that
Vader technically can't run. He kind of... speedwalks. I don't mind walking,
because it builds up the moment that it is in fact, Darth Vader, slowly walking
towards his enemies that are cowering in fear of him. If you're in a hurry
though, by all means tilt that stick as far as you want.
Proceed forward and you'll encounter a few of your Stormtroopers under siege by
a bunch of Wookies. Get close enough and the game prompt will inform you about
Force Push. As it says, go ahead and hold Circle to charge the blast. Unleash
it and the gateway in front of you will be blown to bits. Smashing! Take out
the Wookies with Choke, Saber Throw and whatever you wish. Proceed forward into
the next area. Here are a bunch of barriers. You can pick them up and toss them
at the oncoming Wookies if you'd like. Really, this level is mostly tutorial,
get your feet wet kinda stuff. Go about dispatching your enemies as you see
fit, I'll just be putting my own suggestions down.
Move forward past a couple more Wookies and you'll hit a checkpoint. Keep going
and you'll encounter a new type of enemy. These Wookie Berserkers wield some
blades and they're here to shank you! Well, not if Darth Vader has anything to
say about it. Get used to blocking with L2 and then strike back with melee
attacks from your Lightsaber. Take them out with this and also try Force
Repulse by holding L2 and then holding Circle to unleash a blast that knocks
back nearby enemies. Dispatch these guys and continue onward. You'll come to a
bridge. Perfect place for a Force Push. Charge it up and let it fly and watch
the carnage ensue. Move forward and cut down any in your path. On the other
side will be another barrier so use Force Push to blow it down Big Bad Wolf
style.
Now proceed forward and go right up the slope. You'll be greeted by more Wookie
Berserkers. Take them out and enter the building. A lift will take you up. At
the top, continue down the next path and you'll find even more Berserkers. Take
them down with a Force Push if you want, although the ensuing wreckage will
block your path briefly. Otherwise, just go with the trusty saber and continue
onward. You'll eventually come to an area with a few bridges. The nearest one
will be destroyed when a TIE Fighter careens into it. Move toward the other one
and you'll see a welcome party coming to greet you. Use the various force
powers and what have you to take them down. They'll come at you wave by wave
for a while but you're far too powerful for them so don't worry. Eventually,
you can cross the second bridge for a checkpoint.
Clear the path of even more enemies and cross the final bridge to the left.
When you get across, move toward the large hut there with a familiar insignia
on it for a scene.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This fight is more or less straightforward. You'll notice the camera assumes
almost a Fighting game-esque style. Most major Boss fights will be like this.
You've still got access to all your Force powers, but now up against a Jedi, it
will not be as easy.
He'll start off swinging, and chances are your first saber attack will cause
a Saber lock. Hit Square repeatedly to win this for a little damage. He's
susceptible to Force Push, especially if you charge it up. Just make sure you
have the time and distance to do so. Choke won't work because he'll just wave
it off, so don't bother. You may be controlling the Dark Lord, but this guy
isn't a pushover. He'll get cheap, especially toward the end. Learn to use the
more powerful melee attack by pausing between each strike. This will break the
Jedi's guard and knock him down. If you're at close quarters and the Jedi is
on the ground, attempt to stab him which will deal a larger amount of damage.
Keep him honest with Force Push and even a Force Repulse to knock him back.
One of the best Force Powers to use however is Grip. Sometimes the Rogue Jedi
will wave it off, but you can often (especially in the beginning) get him with
Grip. Once you have him in your grasp, use Impale (Square) and then cast him
away with Cannonball (Circle). The damage will not be overwhelmingly high, but
each little thing adds up, including the impact of his body. It's a good way
to keep the momentum of this fight on your side.
Eventually the Rogue Jedi will use the Force to bring down a TIE Fighter on
you. Stay away from the center of the battlefield and you might be ok. It won't
be a huge problem anyway. Keep attacking and keep him off guard to get in hits.
When you get his health low enough, you might find the Rogue Jedi starting to
get a little cheaper. He'll use Force Push a lot so avoid the damage and the
inconvenience by jumping and holding Square to come crashing down on him. The
damage will be nice and you'll also knock him down. Keep attacking and dodge
his Force powers and the TIEs he brings down. A prompt will appear when he's
near dead. Input the buttons correctly one at a time as they appear to win.
FINISHER - Square, Circle, Circle, Circle
A scene plays and that ends that. It will be followed by another two scenes and
after that you'll gain control... as the Apprentice.

Mission One \_______________________/ I've got a bad feeling about this...
____________/  TIE Fighter Factory  \__________________________________________
[wk01]
Objectives
-Escape the Hangar
-Reach the second level of the construction facility
-Escape the Infuser Room containment field
-Ascend the Wing Assembly
-Disable the Assembly Line containment field
-Defeat General Kota
x--------------------------------------------------x
Bonus Objectives
-Destroy 5 TIE Fighters (Talent Sphere)
-200,000 Force Points (Combo Sphere)
-Collect all Holocrons (Power Sphere)
Before you even gain control, you should probably recognize this level if you
played the demo. Yes, it's the same place. There will be a few differences,
some of which I'll note later on at the appropriate times. Most importantly now
however, is that unlike in the demo, you won't have quick access to some of the
abilities that the Apprentice had then. So don't expect to walk in and start
tearing the place apart just yet. For now, just proceed down the hall. If you
want to feed your ego, go ahead and abuse the poor little droids. Continue to
the first door and give it a few Force Pushes to pry it open.
x---ESCAPE THE HANGAR---x
Take on the first few Stormtroopers you meet here. There's a Sith Holocron at
the very end of this walkway. Grab it for Unlimited Energy for a short time.
Make use of it and jump down and engage all the enemies. There's a lot of them
so start taking them out fast or you'll be overwhelmed. Use a couple Force Push
attacks and then slash a few with your saber. Grip some of the objects and hurl
them at other opponents. Mix things up and you'll earn more Force Points, but
of course, you're awfully limited at this stage.
See the TIE Fighters overhead? Use them! Try to get almost underneath them and
if you see the targeting reticle, use Grip to hoist one down. Hurl at some of
the Stormtroopers if you can or toss it at other TIEs. The real goal here is to
destroy 5. A counter will appear saying how many you've destroyed. There's more
than enough here so destroy 5 and you'll earn a Force Talent Sphere. Take down
the rest of the enemies after that.
Now before we get out of here, make your way to the other side of the hangar.
On the walkway opposite the one you used to get in here, you'll find a Jedi
Holocron, identified by its yellow glow. Grab it for 10,000 Force Points
(1/15). Now turn your attention to the destroyed shuttle just laying there. Use
some double jumps to get to the very top of it. From here you can again double
jump to reach the walkway. Get on and go to the end and you'll find a Holocron
giving you the Yellow Lightsaber Crystal (2/15). Schwing! We're finished here
so make your way to the door (yellow dot). Use Grip to move the sliding lock on
the door to the left with the Left Analog Stick. This opens one door, revealing
another lock mechanism. Slide this one with the Right Analog Stick. Now proceed
into the next hallway.
Stroll down the corridor and in the intersection a few of Kota's men will
ambush you. Take them out and then turn left. You'll cross a larger room and
on the other side more of them will be waiting. Dispatch them and proceed into
the small room they were inhabiting. The door directly ahead of you is your
next goal. There's a door to the right too however. Blast it open for another
Holocron, good for another 10k Force Points (3/15).
In the next corridor, a bunch of Kota's men will appear. Take note of the
containers with the red lights on them. These are your futuristic version of
the "explosive barrel". Use them wisely with Force Grip and hurl them at your
enemies to take them all out in one fell swoop. Beware them though because they
can hurt you too if you get too close and fling that saber around. You might
have earned your first Level Up here too. For each level, you gain one of each
Sphere. Go ahead and use them now if you'd like. Since I can't account for any
but my own playthrough, I'll make notes of when I use the spheres to level up.
If you get them before or after me, it doesn't make a difference. I'll only be
making suggestions for you to pick from. Some skills and powers I definitely
recommend more than others, but it's ultimately up to you. That said, press
Select and let's take a look.
You should have one Force Combo Sphere, one Force Power Sphere, and two Force
Talent Spheres. You got the other one by destroying 5 TIE Fighters hopefully.
As you can see, a lot of abilities are currently locked. From what you have to
pick from, I usually go with Force Push Rank 2, expending the 1 Force Power
Sphere. You only have two Force Combo abilities to choose from at the moment,
and they're Saber Sling and Dashing Blast. I prefer to hold onto my one Combo
Sphere for now and wait until I can get Sith Saber Flurry. If you want to buy
one now though, go with Saber Sling. As for Talents, it's really up to you.
Since you have two, you might want to expend them on two abilities with a cost
of one, rather than spending both spheres on one ability with a cost of two.
That probably sounded really confusing worded that way... In any case, I went
with Force Focus and Battle Meditation. Choose what you want and let's get
back to the game.
Head down the next corridor and a large group of Stormtroopers will be waiting
in a nook to your left. If you went and bought the Force Push Rank 2 upgrade,
go ahead and use it now. You can charge your Force Push again finally. Makes it
feel more like the demo now, huh? A fully charged Push will take out all the
Stormtroopers easily. Now opposite of this nook is the next door. Force it open
and you'll reach the next area and objective.
x---REACH THE SECOND LEVEL OF THE CONSTRUCTION FACILITY---x
Turn right and go down this walkway. Use the nearby barrels and containers and
fling them at the enemies further down. Some TIE Fighters will fly past and
shoot at you. Pesky flies need to be swatted. You can throw containers at them
if you'd like. Ah, but where's the ingenuity? Better idea. See those pillar
like structures at the edge of the platform? Target these with Grip and using
it, you can bend them outward to the left. Do this and bend the pillars so they
are directly in the flight path of the TIE Fighters. Next time one comes by...
BOOM! Muhahaha. Ahem. Yes, now continue down the walkway.
Some TIE Fighter pilot who apparently had too many shots of Jack Daniels will
crash into the walkway, destroying the bridge to the next area. The gap is very
small though and you can easily jump over it. Do so and head toward the big
fight going on down the way. Start flinging things at the various enemies. Try
to mix it up though. Get involved with your saber and other moves. Try Gripping
and throwing guys off the ledge for the Long Way Down bonus. When they're all
dead, blast open the door on the left and enter.
A mob of troopers await you. Use Force Push and your saber to put them to bed.
The lift on the right will come down, with some of Kota's men aboard. One
includes the Militia Trooper, who is the melee fighter of the bunch. Kill them,
then turn your sights on the door to the left, opposite of the one you blasted
open to get here. There is another platform here, and there seems to be nothing
of interest. Oh wait, what's that glow? Why yes, it's another Holocron! Clear
the obstruction and collect it for a Force Talent Sphere (4/15). Schwing! Now
go back and take the lift up.
Hopefully you bought the Force Push upgrade, because if used correctly, you'll
be in for a brief treat here. At the next floor, a few of Kota's men will run
at you. Another works the gun at the back. Just charge up the Force Push and
let it fly. The blast will blow the enemies back and most likely make a few of
the explosive barrels go off, making for a few fireworks. Mop up any remaining
foes and then open the door to your right first. Turn left and you'll find
another hidden Holocron at the end of this platform. It rewards you with a
Force Combo Sphere (5/15). Now go back and open the other door.
Go down this platform and engage the enemies with Grip and other methods. The
platform is a bit narrow, so it's efficient (not to mention hilarious) to pick
up foes with grip and then just drop them. Continue until you reach the area
before that large structure.
Surprised? No AT-ST here this time. Another difference between this and the
demo. Take out all the measly Stormtroopers, then cross the gap to the left.
Kill more enemies and then turn left to go down this platform. There's a small
opening on the side but nothing in there. Proceed down to the next one. A group
of Militia Troopers pour out. Use Force Push to disperse them. They're melee
guys and if they jump you at once it can get annoying. When they're down, enter
the small alcove they came out of for a Holocron, netting you another 10,000
Force Points (6/15), and hopefully a Level Up. You probably have a few now so
you can upgrade if you'd like. I'm going to wait just a bit before I do it
though. For now, just continue down the platform. A few more Saboteurs appear,
but they fall easily. Get to the end and turn right. The doors will open
automatically.
A lot of Militia guys in here. Watch out for the Troopers in particular because
they get annoying fast. Use Saber Blast and Grip to help you take out the other
pesky foes. Grab the Sith Holocron at the center of the room, amongst all the
screens and computers for a temporary boost in damage. Imperials will show up
too eventually so wipe them all out as well. When they're all goners, enter the
next hallway.
Meet the Militia Elite, another vexation. Make him your primary target. Try to
grab the nearby explosive barrel with Grip and fling it at them. Rush the Elite
if he survives and take him out fast. Through the next door, another group will
attack. Fend off the Troopers, then take out the Elite. Enter the next room.
x---ESCAPE THE INFUSER ROOM CONTAINMENT FIELD---x
This room is cool, but don't gawk too long or else you'll be taking a long nap.
The room is swarming with Militia guys, and they've set a trap in the form of
an energy field that vaporizes anything that touches it, a trap you can take
advantage of. If you can, charge up a Force Push immediately to blow a ton of
enemies into the energy wall. The biggest problem here is the Troopers as they
whack away at you with their dumb nightsticks. Take them out and use Grip to
fling them away and into the wall. Don't neglect the Elites for too long
however, as their constant shooting will deplete your health in no time. Use
the wall to your advantage and clear the room. Then Force Grip the device that
you can see and target behind the energy wall. Pull it out and the wall will
recede. Follow your objective marker and enter the next room.
A small group of Militia guys. The windows in the back are breakable so try
to fling objects (or the enemies) into them and the vacuum created will pull
them helplessly into space. Otherwise dispatch them with your saber and move
on. The next room is much like the one with the energy wall, just... sans the
energy wall. There's still a lot of enemies here. Make a rush for the Sith
Holocron in the corner however. It will grant you Health Drain Aura. This will
drain the health of nearby enemies, making this job much easier. Continue to
the next room.
In here, use Grip to pull out the object on the left and use it as a platform.
Grip the folded up platform on the wall next and pull that out so you can jump
to it. Jump up to the opening and dispatch the Stormtroopers. Head down this
hallway and you'll drop down to another corridor. Blast open the next door to
reach the next objective.
x---ASCEND THE WING ASSEMBLY---x
Another skirmish going on here, and right in the middle of it is an AT-ST. No,
wait... it's an AT-CT? Yeah, I'm as confused as you. This thing has a grav gun
like weapon. Try not to target the Militia guys, because they'll help you
weaken the creature. Also, once they turn on you, you'll be in big trouble.
Just stay back and fling objects at the AT-CT until a prompt appears. Finish it
off with Square, X, and Circle. Now kill all the Militia guys to clear this
area for now. To continue, head toward the back where the assembled wings are
rising up. Use them as elevators and jump on one, riding it to the top. Turn
your attention to the opposite walkway and the Militia guys at the guns. Take
them out with objects or rush them. Just beware the Militia Troopers waiting
to beat your brains out. You can take them all out by taking out the precarious
walkway on which they stand. It will drop them all down below, but strangely
enough, might not actually kill them. Now from here, go to the left most TIE
Fighter wing lift. Ride it up further and you'll reach a secret walkway. Behind
the containers is a Holocron for 10,000 Force Points (7/15). Now from here,
look toward the building below that houses the exit to your next area. Don't
drop down though. Jump onto the roof of this room from the secret walkway and
you'll find another Holocron for another 10k (8/15). Now drop down and enter
the next room.
Again there's a battle going on. Grab the Sith Holocron on the right for some
help. Take out all the enemies, then turn your sights on the wing assembly
here. This one is a little less productive, but there's a Holocron waiting
above. Thing is there's no way to reach it. Time to get creative. Use Grip and
grab one of the wings on the ground. This is really tricky, but you need to
manipulate the wing in a way that will let you slide it into the holders and
use it as a platform. Aim it for the column to the right of the Holocron, and
low so you can reach it from the platform to the right. Try banging the wing
up against walls so you can rotate it enough to get it in there. Jump up and
grab the Holocron when you succeed for another 10k (9/15). By now you hopefully
got the Bonus Objective for 200,000 Force Points, earning a Combo Sphere. I'm
going to go ahead and use them now so go ahead if you haven't already. With only
two Force Power spheres, I can't get anything so save those. Force Talents, I
went with Affinity Rank 1, Saber Mastery 1, and Combo Mastery 1. For Force
Combos I bought Sith Saber Flurry and Saber Sling. I decided to save 2 for now.
Now, go back to that center wing platform and head to the left, climbing up
them so you can get in position to jump to a walkway on the right. Do so and
then jump the gap to the next walkway. Grab the Holocron (10/15) for your
first augment Lightsaber crystal, Power Crystal Rubat. Add it to your saber
right now and it will deal extra damage. Jump down now and head through the
door with the flashing yellow light.
You'll be behind another Imperial-Militia battle. Interrupt things with a few
charged Force Push attacks. Dispatch the rest, then approach the lift. It will
come down with a few Militia guys aboard. Kill them and then take the lift up.
In here you'll find another assembly. Take out the Militia enemies first. You
can use the assembly arms and Grip them to aim their lasers which will kill
any enemies they touch. It's kinda tough, so it's easier to actually just Grip
the enemies themselves and place them in the path of the lasers. Move down and
pay attention to the left wall, looking for an opening. Find it and enter this
short hallway for a Holocron, good for another 10k (11/15). Continue and your
next objective will present itself.
x---DISABLE THE ASSEMBLY LINE CONTAINMENT FIELD---x
Eventually you'll come across another energy field wall you can't traverse. Go
up the ramp to the left and take out the enemies. Enter the next room up here
and you'll get a nice workout fending off a large group of Kota's goons. Use
moves like Saber Sling and Grip to throw them into the energy wall for easy
kills. Look around the room and notice the blue columns of light energy. In
the group of columns that was on your left as you entered this room, there is
a Holocron. The energy of the columns may repel you, so get in there quick and
grab it for a Force Power Sphere (12/15).
Face the containment field and target the device behind it. Pull it out to
again deactivate it. Still facing where it once was, turn right and enter the
corridor here. Another Holocron awaits for another 10,000 Force Points (13/15).
Head back now and the path is clear. Enter the next assembly line. Use Grip to
fling objects at the enemies on the walkway. Watch for another corridor, this
time on the right side. Enter it for another 10k Holocron (14/15). Use the Sith
Holocron in the room if you need it to finish off any enemies. When the coast
is clear, approach the ramp at the end of this room. Before you go up, turn
right and find the final Holocron for another 10,000 (15/15). Assuming you
found them all, this will also get you a Force Power Sphere. Enter the door
and you'll be told Kota is above you. Take the lift up.
x---DEFEAT GENERAL KOTA---x
Watch the scene, then prepare to fight.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This guy is a step up from the Rogue Jedi but some of the tactics will still
apply. This starts off simple enough. Kota will engage you in saber attacks.
Block them and counter with attacks of your own. Use Sith Saber Flurry if you
have it, since it will be more effective than normal combos. Kota is vulnerable
to Force Push, should you catch him off guard, and Leaping Slam. Use both to
knock him down. Get to his body quickly and attempt to stab him for extra
damage, or at least slash him a few times as he's getting up.
He'll combo attack you and it's hard to escape if the first slash hits. He'll
also go to the center of the room and leap up. If he does this, jump into the
air quickly. Kota will come crashing down with his own Leaping Slam, and the
shockwave will spread out in a wide radius, hurting you should you be on the
ground at that moment. Kota will also go to the far platform and use the Force
to throw objects at you. Just dodge them with Dash to avoid getting hurt. After
he throws all three objects at you, he stands still for a moment. He's far away
on that platform so the best option is to use Grip when he's stunned at this
point. Use Grip and throw him around the room, preferably toward you. That way
you can get a stab in while he's on the ground.
Aside from using Force Push (which only works sometimes anyway) and Leaping
Slam, you can fight fire with fire and fling objects at him. Also, when he
does his uber Leaping Slam attack, he is weakened briefly, giving you a window
to strike him. Try using Saber Sling and then approaching his body quickly for
the stab attack.
Take him down a bit and a quick scene will play. Now the area of the facility
is plummeting and the floor will become very hot soon. Kota will assume his
position on one platform. Take the other because the hot floor will drain your
health. Grab nearby objects with the Force and throw them at Kota before he
does the same to you. You can also attempt to jump to his island and saber him
but it's not as effective as the former. Also, keep in mind the Grip strategy
still works. After he's done throwing, use Grip on him. This is a really good
trick to do when the floor starts to turn hot. Throw him onto the melting floor
and he'll take extra damage the longer he stays there. When things cool down,
get close again and use the various tactics to weaken him. Eventually when his
health drops low enough, the Finisher prompt appears.
FINISHER - Square, Square, X, Circle
A scene plays and you'll get the results for your work. Congratulations, you're
done with the first mission!
Watch some story unfold and soon enough, you'll be whisked away to Raxus Prime

-250,000 Force Points (Combo Sphere)
-Collect all Holocrons (Power Sphere)
You start off in a large area and the way forward isn't immediately clear.
Nevertheless, you have your first objective.
x---BLAST YOUR WAY INTO THE GIANT HYPERDRIVE ENGINE---x
First off, the game will notify you that you have unlocked Force Lightning,
which you can now use with Triangle. It will be helpful in getting through here
and also for getting a Bonus Objective. Start by dropping down a ledge. You'll
see a large engine in front of you trapped under some debris. Use Force
Lightning on this to send it flying toward the large structure. It will hit a
damaged opening, slightly opening it up more. Not enough though. From here, go
left and you'll find a large pool of waste that will damage you should you
stand in it. On the other side, under the next platform is the first Holocron.
Either use Grip on the platform that is laying in the waste and raise it up
slightly, so you can use it to cross, or just step in for a brief moment and
Force Dash in the air to the Holocron for 10k Force Points (1/15). The waste
won't hurt you much anyway so it'll be fine. Once you have it, use Grip to
raise the platform as high as you can, then jump to the next ledge.
A few Rodian enemies greet you here, and they apparently have Grav Gun
