Chapter V: Weapons Factory

“No gift is more precious than trust.”

The immense weapons factory masterminded by Count Dooku’s henchman, Geonosian warlord Poggle the Lesser, nears completion. It threatens to unleash huge armies of battle Droids and secret weapons to sway the balance of the Clone Wars. Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano are joined by Jedi Master Luminara Unduli with her Padawan Barriss Offee, to lead a Republic attack on the factory....

Objective 1: Breach Their Defenses

That factory must fall! Hop in a speeder and cruise northeast, heading for the narrow bridge that leads to the Separatists’ compound.

Across the bridge, three enemy cannons fire upon you from three separate bases. Destroy all three cannons, using your speeder to circle around them and attack from safe angles. Make sure to collect every stud that spills out from the cannons after they go boom.

Minikit 1 (Freeplay)

Before crossing the bridge, build the pile of loose pieces you find on the ground to the south to form an astromech Droid control panel. Activate the panel with a Droid such as R2-D2 to summon a sweet new ride.

Hop into the driver’s seat and loop around the nearby base node, scooping up the trail of blue studs that now encircles it. Follow the stud trail across the bridge, nabbing every one to score a minikit!

Minikit 2

While assaulting the enemy’s cannons, look for a hill formation near the factory doors. A minikit hovers high above; drive a speeder onto the hill, park beneath the minikit and then jump up to claim this prize. You can also grab this minikit easily during Free Play by using Jar Jar Binks’ superior jumping ability.

Objective 2: Breach Their Defenses—Again!

Seeing their cannons obliterated, the Separatists rush to rally. You find yourself back on the bridge, with five new enemy bases to wipe out. (No fair!) The nearest cannon is protected by a ray shield; race over and destroy the satellite dish that’s emitting the shield, then wipe out the cannon.

With the cannon out of the way, you’re ready to build base structures. Construct a rocket clones barracks and wait for the troopers to emerge. As Captain Rex, approach the rocket clones and press the Action button to get their attention and make them follow you. Sweet!

Lead your rocket clones north, moving to assault the two enemy barracks up here. Simply hold the Attack button and highlight each barracks in turn to order your rocket clones to attack them—they’ll keep firing until their target is destroyed. One of the barracks is silver—only your rocket clones can take this one out!

With the northern barracks obliterated, only the two southern bases remain. These two are weakly defended; hop into a speeder and wipe them out.

Minikit 3 (Freeplay)

Before destroying the enemy’s barracks, backtrack across the bridge and activate the bounty hunter control panel to the north (on the Republic side) to begin a countdown timer. Time to crush some clankers!

Speed across the bridge and start eliminating squadrons of enemy Droids. Linger near the barracks to simplify this effort. Wipe out 50 Droids before time runs out to earn a minikit! If you fail, just return to the bounty hunter panel and try again.

Objective 3: Breach Their Defenses—For Real!

Once again, the enemy ramps up their defenses by erecting several more bases near the factory. You’re back on the bridge—cross over and wipe out the barracks you find on the opposite side.

Build a gold cannon at the base site after leveling the barracks, then hop inside. Take aim at the silver cannon to the north by holding the Attack button and release to fire. Keep blasting that cannon until it explodes!

Next, destroy the regular cannon to the right to secure the neighboring base. Build a blaster clones barracks (not rocket clones) here afterward and use Captain Rex to lead your troops south.

All three of the remaining southern bases feature gold structures—rapid-fire weaponry is needed to destroy these. Order your blaster clones to fire on the central barracks first, then the the tank generator to the east. The cannon is the toughest nut to crack—it may help to build additional blaster clones barracks to ensure that you get the job done.

Minikit 4

The Republic’s northwest base has no structures, but there’s an odd gray pad on the ground nearby. Build a structure to the right of the pad, and another to the left. Build a third structure anywhere else to remove the pad and reveal a minikit in the hole below.

Minikit 5

To acquire this minikit, you must capture enough bases and build enough structures to unlock to the final build menu option, “minikit dispenser.” Simply ensure that you’ve built at least one structure at each captured base, and that you build one structure from every category (cannon, barracks, etc.). You’ll eventually unlock the minikit dispenser, which you may purchase for a tidy sum.

Objective 4: Infiltrate the Weapons Factory

At last, you’ve broken the Separatists’ defenses. Now you must destroy the weapons factory and strike a blow for the Republic! Stand on the Jedi logo near the rock wall ahead and carve a circle in the wall to reveal an ancient tunnel.

Minikit 6

Five unique objects exist inside the tunnel—spot these easily by the red crystal that sits atop each one. The first sits just to the right of the entrance; destroy it, along with the remaining four, to earn a minikit. We’ve marked these objects’ locations on the map to help you find them, but they’re all pretty easy to spot.

Minikit 7 (Freeplay)

Just inside the tunnel, blast the silver spiderweb on the right wall to reveal a secret passage. Head through to reach an outdoor ledge.

Use the Force to lift the large egg out here, raising it up to the nest near the giant lizard feet on the ledge above. The egg hatches once in place—congratulations, it’s a minikit! Use a Jedi to saber-jump up the checkered wall and claim your prize.

Two triangular patterns adorn the walls ahead. Force-slam the pattern on the right to make three triangle pieces fall out, then use the Force to maneuver each piece onto the pattern to the left. When all three are inserted, the passage opens, allowing you to proceed deeper into the tunnel.

Minikit 8 (Freeplay)

The triangular pattern on the right also sports three gold triangles. Use a rapid-fire character to blow these away, revealing a hidden nook with an astromech Droid control panel.

Activate the panel with an astromech Droid to power up a robot. Thrilled to be alive, the robot does a happy little dance before leaving a minikit behind in gratitude.

Keep going until you come to another pair of triangular patterns. Perform a Force slam to free the lone triangle piece from the pattern on the right. Carve a hole in the wall next to the Jedi logo to discover the second piece.Find the third piece by performing a Force slam to knock it down from the hammock on the left. Use the Force to fit each piece onto the pattern on the left, thereby opening the way forward.

The tunnel ends in a circular chamber. Smash the bones in the center of the room, then use Force slam attacks to destroy the many hammocks that hang from the walls.

After destroying every hammock, examine the center of the chamber to find all of the hammock pieces giggling about. Build these pieces into a trampoline, then jump on the trampoline to bound up to a higher chamber.

Minikit 9 (Freeplay)

As before, the triangular pattern on the right sports three gold triangles. Again, use a rapid-fire character to blow these away, revealing a hidden nook with a large curtain.

Use a character with a grapple gun to tug on the hook point that’s high up on the wall inside the nook. This opens the curtain, exposing some hygienic Geonosians—along with a minikit!

Objective 5: Disable the Weapons Factory

You’ve reached the heart of the facility, where the enemy makes their final stand. Do your best to avoid the massive gold tank that motors around the chamber as you combat the swarming Droids.

One Droid is unique—a bit bulkier than the rest. Attacking this enemy won’t kill it; instead, its head just flies off! Quickly collect the head from the ground to disguise yourself as an enemy Droid.

Once disguised as a Droid, race to one side of the chamber and activate the enemy Droid control panel. This reveals the inner workings of the central machinery. Repeat this with the panel on the opposite side of the room to fully expose the central device’s vitals.

Now it’s time to tackle that tank. Due to a major design flaw (wait, isn’t that the Republic’s bag?) the tank can be tamed by attacking the flashing, circular gun turrets on its sides. Take aim and throw your Lightsaber as the tank passes by to strike safely.

After destroying both circular turrets, the top portion of the tank opens up to reveal yet more guns. Hurl your Lightsaber at the guns to cripple the tank. Now you can jump inside!

Minikit 10

Before hopping into the tank, use the Force to overload five small devices around the room—each device lowers and begins to glow when you approach. Overload all five devices to receive a minikit!

Pilot the tank and turn its explosive weaponry loose on the silver mechanisms that cover the central machinery. Remember: You must first steal the roaming Droid’s head to activate the room’s two enemy Droid panels and reveal all of the mechanisms. Blast away until all of those silver devices have been destroyed. No more weapons will be produced from this dreadful place!
