ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY UNLOCKED

The Stakross Medal of Excellence achievement or trophy can be unlocked here. to do so, use force lightning to destroy the passing tie fighters before you reach the base of the facility. You don’t need to destroy the swarm of tie fighters before the glass dome, but rather the tie fighters zipping left and right as you dodge the platforms on the way down.

Though brave and bold, your escape is also hasty and extremely dangerous. You’ve managed to get away from Darth Vader, but you’re now free-falling headfirst down the side of the Kaminoan facility, past spires, and enemy-infested platforms.

Focus on the obstacles in your way, and carefully glide left and right past the thin obstructions. Save your Force Energy to push through large obstacles such as platforms.

As you approach the platforms, fire a Force Push blast ahead of you to create a hole, then glide through the hole to pass through undamaged.

When you reach the base of the tower, a swarm of TIE fighters rushes up at you. Carefully Force Push through the swarm.

JEDI WISDOM

One Force Push blast can destroy a TIE fighter, so choose each blast carefully. Don’t use up all of your Force Energy by rapidly mashing on the Force Push button. If you do, you may find yourself out of Force Energy when you need it most.

After surviving the onslaught of TIE fighters, you come crashing down through a large glass dome. The Imperial stormtroopers in the room are crushed by the sheer force of your impact.

Turn and greet the stormtrooper battalion that rushes through the door on the right. Follow the onscreen commands and execute saber combos to put the enemies down. After you wipe out the battalion, the door’s force field drops, allowing you passage outside.

Exit the domed room and bully your way past the stormtroopers in your way. Double-jump over the small gap in the walkway where a small batch of stormtroopers will meet you.

Upon your landing on the other side, a small transport swoops by and drops off another battalion of Imperial storm-troopers. Practice your grappling skills on the hapless foes, then rush past their fallen bodies toward the next door.

ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY UNLOCKED

With all of the explosive consoles around, this is an excellent area to unlock the Poor Bob Achievement or Trophy. Just be sure to Force Grip an untouched stormtrooper before you stick him, zap him, and slam him.

Make short work of the Imperial stormtroopers that rush out of the door; then use Force Push to blast through the door. After you pass through the door, several more stormtroopers rush out of small compartments lining the walkway.

Grab the stormtroopers with Force Grip and practice tossing them at distant enemies. Otherwise, send foes flying by flinging them from afar with Force Push. Double-jump onto the large circular walkway and follow it around to the other side of the platform.

JEDI WISDOM

This large circular walkway is a good place to practice your Force Gripping skills. Wait for the TIE fighters to zoom by on the left and grab them with the Force. Crush them, then toss them at the other TIE fighters that pass by. Not only will you be able to hone your Force Gripping skills, but you’ll also rack up some decent Force points in the process.

On the other side of the circular walkway is a small gap. Look right and locate a platform hidden inside the right wall. Use the Force to yank it out, then double-jump across to the other side of the walkway.

HOLOCRON

There is a saber holocron sitting on the other side of the gap. After double-jumping across the new platform, grab it. It’s the Chaos saber crystal holocron!

JEDI WISDOM

Since your current red saber crystals don’t have any extra effects, now is a good time to equip your new saber crystal. You will gain extra Force points for destroying the environment.

Drop down onto the other side, then double-jump dash over the next wide gap. Immediately upon landing, run your lightsabers through the pair of Imperial riot troopers that rush out of the door at the far end.

Block their incoming attacks, then focus on one enemy at a time. Use lightning-infused saber attacks to stun them, then finish them off with lightsaber combos.

JEDI WISDOM

The Imperial riot trooper is one of the most technical fighters you’ll encounter. However, you can quickly rob him of his weapon by using throws: You’ll rip his staff out of his hand, slap him with it, and knock him to the floor. Once he’s grounded, rush the fallen trooper and run both sabers through his torso.

After dispatching the first two Imperial riot troopers, another pair rushes out of the door ahead of you. This time, they’ve brought help—a small complement of Imperial stormtroopers. Slice through the weaker stormtroopers first, then turn to the stronger, better-equipped riot troopers. After you destroy the Imperials, the door behind them unlocks. Pass through to the next area.

Immediately after you pass through the door, a group of TIE fighters zooms toward you from the left! Turn toward them and use the Force to grip them in midair. Hold them in place with the Force and crush them! Turn several TIE fighters into heaping scraps of debris, and the next door slides open.

Inside the door are several more stormtroopers. Unfortunately for them, they’ve taken station just right of a ventilation fan. Use Force Grip to pick them up and hurl them into the fan.

Next, pick up one of the crates and hurl it down the hall to the right. You cannot see them yet, but there is a small group of stormtroopers waiting to ambush you as you enter the hall. Toss the crate at them as you enter to spread them apart and make them easier to pick off with your sabers or Force Lightning.

Wipe out the rest of the Imperial stormtroopers in this hall, either by conventional means or by more creative methods like Force Gripping them over the flame hazards nearby.

Dash past the flame hazards when they stop firing, and reach the end of the hall. There are two more Imperials waiting there. Run your sabers through them before they get a chance to open fire.

HOLOCRON

There’s another holocron at the end of this hall, just past the flame hazards. Pick it up to find the blue Meditation saber crystal.

JEDI WISDOM

Since you can equip two saber crystals at the same time, replace your second crystal with this one to create your first saber crystal combo.

Turn left at the hall’s end and locate another group of enemies. Use a Force Push blast to send the troopers flying into the fan behind them. This will give you clear passage out of the hall and back into the rainy Kaminoan landscape.

Another group of Imperials stands their ground outside. Dash past the riot trooper and take out the stormtroopers first. Turn on the riot trooper next and cut him down.

More TIE fighters zoom by overhead. As you trek farther along the outside of the Kaminoan facility, Force Grip the TIE fighters and turn them into weapons to use against the enemies ahead of you. It may take some practice, but nothing beats dropping a large metal chunk on a stormtrooper’s head. Follow the circular walkway left as it leads around to the walkway’s other side.

HOLOCRON

There’s a green Bacta Tank holocron sitting on the far end of a support about halfway down the circular walkway. Carefully jump out onto the long, narrow walkway and go out to its end to grab the holocron.

Continue fighting your way down the walkway, tearing through Imperials as you go, until you reach another sealed door. This time, use a Force Push blast to blow the door open. Dash through the dented doorway and deal with a small group of enemies.

Double-jump onto the raised area on the door’s other side
and Force Push enemies off the platform. As they go flying off into the Kaminoan depths, rush around the platform to the next walkway below.

Drop onto the walkway and battle past the Imperials between you and the next door. Let your lightsabers guide the way as you slice through your enemies. If a riot trooper approaches you, use lightning-infused saber combos to stun all of the enemies in your way. While they are stunned, finish them off with saber combos.

Once you’ve destroyed all the enemies in your way, Force Push through the next door, revealing a path back into the facility’s interior. However, the path is blocked by large fans.

ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY UNLOCKED

To unlock the Kamfetti Achievement or Trophy, you must first open the doors to the facility interior without killing all of the enemies. To do so, rush past the first five enemies and approach the group of stormtroopers nearest to the sealed door. Destroy them and the door will open. Now turn around and Force Grip each of the remaining stormtroopers—at least five—and hurl them into the large spinning fan.

CLONER'S CAUTION

Don’t attempt to rush past the spinning blades! If you do, you’ll only incur damage and get knocked back.

Use Force Grip to stop the blades from spinning, then crush the last batch of stormtroopers in your way. At the hall’s far end, past the two spinning fans, is a large tube leading down into the cloning facility. Hop down.

You land in a room sealed off by a force field. Approach it and Force Grip the crates just beyond the field; hurl them at the control consoles nearby. When the consoles explode, the force field shuts off, granting you access deeper into the cloning facility.

Use the crates nearby as projectiles against the small squad of stormtroopers that rush out of the hall’s far end. Dash past the fallen troopers into a large circular room with a console at the center.

HOLOCRON

There’s a holocron in this room. Hop onto the center console to grab it.

Pass through the next door and enter a short hallway guarded by a single Imperial stormtrooper. Sneak up behind the weak-minded foe and use your Force powers to confuse him. Follow the onscreen commands to use your Mind Trick ability on him. When you do, the trooper jumps out of the nearest window to his death.

Unfortunately, this also gets the attention of the turbo laser turrets just outside the passage. The turrets begin firing on the hall, tearing through the glass as it works its way toward you. Dash out of the window the stormtrooper leaped out of, and hop down to the area below.

The area below is a labyrinthine series of deadly red force fields! In order to bring each force field down, you must destroy the enemies in your way. Begin with the stormtroopers on the far right. Cut them down, then turn left, toward the first red field.

ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY UNLOCKED

This is a perfect place to unlock the It Burns! Achievement or Trophy. As you work your way past each of the red force fields, use Force Grip to toss enemies into the fields and disintegrate them. Zap 10 enemies and the achievement or trophy will unlock!

You could also get to work on the No Match for a Blaster...accolade. Lure your enemies into the fire of the turboblasters above to get started on it. You’ll most likely need to revisit this area a second time to unlock it.

As you battle the enemies, lure them toward the glowing red power nodes. Zap the power nodes with Force Lightning to send out powerful electromagnetic pulses. The pulses can cause major damage on nearby enemies, so be sure to get as many foes near them as possible.

When riot troopers rush out of the nearby door, use your Mind Trick to turn them into allies. Let them turn on the stormtroopers while you pick off the rest of the enemies. Work your way past the batches of enemies, bringing down each red force field as you go, until you reach the area’s center.

JEDI WISDOM

There are so many different ways to eradicate enemies inside the force-field labyrinth. Aside from conventional means—lightsaber and Force powers—you can also do the following:

Toss them into red force fields

Detonate the red power nodes

Lure enemies into the large turret’s line of fire

Use your Mind Trick to turn more powerful enemies on the weaker ones

Carbonite WAR Droid Battle

When you reach the center of the red maze, a large, hulking carbonite droid comes stomping out of the nearby gate. It carries a massive shield and is accompanied by several Imperial stormtroopers. Use your Mind Trick on the stormtroopers first. This will distract the Carbonite War Droid temporarily, allowing you to grab its shield with Force Grip and rip it from its hand.

Dodge the carbonite droid’s dashing attack by sidestepping it when it approaches you. Lock on to the clanking beast as it stomps around, and dash around it, keeping it at a safe distance. If it fires carbonite at you, follow the onscreen commands to shake it off, then zap the droid with Force Lightning.

Continue strafing around the droid, zapping it with Force Lightning as you go, and use the large protrusions in the area as obstacles for your foe. Position the protrusions between yourself and the clanker while you zap it repeatedly. Eventually, the menace will weaken and drop its guard.

When it does, rush it and follow the onscreen commands to destroy it. When you do, the nearby gate opens up. Go through the gate to the next area.

CLONER'S CAUTION

You can also defeat the carbonite droid with lightsaber combos, but that will require you to get up close and personal where the droid can swat you away with its large hand. This can slap huge chunks of energy from your Health bar.

CHALLENGE UNLOCKED

When you beat the carbonite droid, you unlock a the Kamino Drill Grounds Trial Challenge!

Into the Cold

Trek deeper into the cloning facility until you reach another force field. Use the crates on the other side to destroy the consoles and bring the force field down. Rush the stormtroopers nearby, and slash through them on your way back out into the pouring rain.

Use the red power nodes nearby to bounce the approaching riot troopers, then Force Grip the TIE fighters flying overhead to turn them into oversized metal projectiles.

Continue fighting up the watery walkway until you reach a large circular platform. There you are greeted by a small transport ship that delivers several more Imperial stormtroopers.

Mind Trick the stronger riot troopers nearby, then easily cut through the weaker enemies. When a second transport arrives, greet the new soldiers with Force Push and knock them off the platform all the way down to the water below.

ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY UNLOCKED

This is a great place to unlock the Pied Piper Achievement or Trophy. Use Mind Trick as much as possible to trick enemies into jumping over the side of the ledge and to their demise. When 10 weak-minded enemies leap, you’ll unlock the achievement or trophy.

When you reach the walkway’s end, use the Force to lift a nearby platform up and into position. Double-jump onto the platform and onto the next walkway where more enemies await.

Use Mind Trick on them as they approach, and watch them either fight each other or throw themselves over the edge. With the first wave of enemies gone, turn right and hurl crates at the next wave of stormtroopers.

Since the walkway is long and cluttered, the troopers ahead of you will often gather close to each other. Dash forward and hurl Force Lightning projectiles at them to stun them, then rush ahead and finish them off while they’re incapacitated. After crushing all of the enemies nearby, approach the edge of the walkway and stop.

HOLOCRON

There’s another holocron floating overhead between the gaps in the walkway. Time your jump carefully and snag it on the second bound of your double-jump. If you think you might come short and miss the holocron, add a dash at the end of your double-jump to reach it.

Just as you reach the walkway’s end, a small squad of Imperial jumptroopers shows up. Lock on to them and zap them with Force Lightning before double-jump dashing across the gap.

Once on the other side, slash past the few stormtroopers in your way, then scorch the next wave of jumptroopers. Dash past the jumptroopers as their jet packs go haywire, and reach another large circular platform.

As you approach the walkway’s end, a group of stormtroopers rushes out of the far door—followed by another carbonite droid! Mind Trick the troopers to get them out of the way, and yank the droid’s shield away immediately. This time use the red power nodes as obstacles, hitting the droid with electromagnetic pulses. Once it is weakened, rush in and finish it off. With the droid out of the way, go through the far door to reenter the facility.

HOLOCRON

There’s a blue Bacta Tank holocron just left of the entryway to this hall. Turn left and grab it as soon as you enter. If you turn right immediately, you risk getting sucked into the next sequence before grabbing it.

Turn right after entering the facility again and slowly creep down the hall. When you do, a nearby gunship opens fire on the hall!

Quickly leap into a dash and speed down the hall, leaving the explosions behind you. If you slow down or run into an obstacle, you’ll be blown to bits, so stay ahead of the explosions as you dash repeatedly down the hall.

JEDI WISDOM

As you dash down the hall, stay near the hall’s center to dodge the obstacles in your way. There will be three batches of stormtroopers lining the hall’s edges near stacked crates, but there is also a clear path down the center of the hall. If you run into a stormtrooper, don’t fight it. Instead, dash past it on your way to the hall’s end.

Turn and go through the door that opens nearby. Exit the hall and you’ll find a huge tower in your way. Luckily, several TIE fighters are zipping by in strafing runs. Get near the walkway’s edge and wait for a TIE fighter to approach.

When it does, Force Grip it and hurl it at the tower in the distance. Do this three times to bring the large tower crashing down and create a bridge to Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced fighter.

Once the tower has fallen, dash across the makeshift bridge to the landing pad where three AT-STs stand guard over Vader’s vessel.

Immediately upon landing on the platform, follow the onscreen command to activate your Force Fury. In this crazed state, you’ll be invulnerable and have infinite Force energy. Make short work of the AT-STs by either zapping them with Force Lightning or slicing through them with your lightsabers.

When a pair of transport ships arrives and drops off two squads of storm-troopers, either use Mind Trick to turn all of them against each other or fry them all at once. Once the remaining troopers are destroyed, you board Vader’s TIE fighter and escape the cloning facility.
