Force Theft

After you and Kyle split up, Head to the door on the left and follow the hallway around to the left. Take out the imperials you come across and go through the next door when you reach it. Continue until you come to a room with a control room on the right and a security door at the far end. Go into the control room and take out the officer to get the key. Go through the security door and take the elevator up to the next floor. Make your way around the hallway and two super troopers will come out from down the hall. Use the concussion rifle if you have it and kill them. Go through the door they came through and pull the switch on the left to disable the tractor beam. Start to make your way back to the ship and you will be told of tie-fighters that are incoming. Make your way back to the elevator and go through the door across from it that is now open. Continue down the hall and two super troopers will appear.



Take them out with the concussion rifle and destroy the blue barrier. Once you get past that, another super trooper will be there with a missile launcher. Use the concussion rifle on him as well and continue down the hall. When you reach the end of the hallway, go up the elevator and follow this hallway to the turret room. There will be a few turrets on each side that you can go down and operate. Shoot the tie-fighters that appear and when they are all gone Kyle will tell you to get back to the ship. Head back down the hallway you came through and go back down the elevator. Continue down the next hallway destroying the storm troopers you come across. Go through the open door to the hanger when you come to it and help Kyle clear the hanger of imperials. Walk up to him to start a scene and end the mission.



Weapon Destruction

For this level there is only one enemy that you have to deal with but unfortunately it is none other than Boba Fett. Although he can't be killed, he can be made to retreat for a while. You need to find the 6 other ammo depots around the area and place a bomb at the red markers to destroy them. You have a map in your objectives page now and it shows you where you need to place the bombs even though it doesn't show where you are. As you can see from the map there are three on the left side of your ship and three on the right side of your ship.



After you blow up each ammo depot, the Fett will attack you. Simply stand in place and redirect his laser shots back at him until he flies away. If he shoots some rockets at you, then you need to run, preferably with force speed. When you have eventually destroyed all 6 ammo dumps, go back to the X-wing and Boba will attack one last time. Redirect his shots back at him like you did previously and eventually he will just run around and not fire at you. Walk up to him and hack him with the saber and the mission will end.



Cult Facility I - Taspir III

From the landing pad, make your way forward to the building in front of you and take out the flying trooper and the storm troopers there. Enter and clear out the main room along with the room on the left. Head out the door on the far side of the main room and follow the ramp downwards. Pull the two levers at the bottom and the bridge will extend to the other side as well as reveal a super trooper. Move to the left a little and nail the trooper so that you are behind the bridge wall. Run across after he is dead and go to the left to pull another switch. It will extend a bridge high above. Make you way back up the ramp to the first room you were in and go through the door to the left of the door you enter through. Take the elevator up and take out the imperials in here. Go through the door on the far right and kill the disciple there.



Cross the bridge and enter the room there to take out two more disciples. Make your way around the room and enter the elevator doors to go up. Enter the next room and take out the trooper in here and make your way around to the other side. Push the large box so that it is against the other boxes and jump up on top of it. Jump up through the opening in thee ceiling and follow it to a fence. Cut through and make your way through the hallway there. Run past the blue security door on the left and continue to the end of the hall to reach three officers. Take them all out and grab the security key. Head back to the blue door and go through it to reach a transmitter and a disciple. Kill him and then head down the ramp. Continue across the rocks and take out two flying troopers and enter the front door. Take out the disciples there and continue around to the staircase. Make your way up it and take out all of the disciples that jump out at you.



There are a few so take your time. When you reach the top, go through the door at the far side. Cross the bridge and take out the two disciples there and enter the next building. Clear it out and go through the door to come to another bridge. Jump across the gap and take out the two disciples and thee flying trooper. Head around the pathway when they are dead and enter the building on the left. Follow the stairs down and kill a few more Disciples before you reach the bottom. When you do, go through the door there and cross another bridge and go through the long hallway and face two more disciples. Go through the next door when they are dead and you will be back outside.



Head to the left and there will be some lava ahead with super troopers walking around in it. Take them out if you can and head along the left side ledge and enter the door way at the far end. Take out the disciples in here and the two that are outside the next door as well. Enter the building and make your way around to the right and enter the elevator to go up. Take out the disciples and troopers here and go around the room to exit through the far door to another bridge. Go across and takeout the flying trooper and enter the door at the other end.

Take him out and the next part of the mission starts.



Cult Facility II - Taspir III

After the scene make your way forward and to the left and go up the lift to the platform where Alora was. Go through the door there and fight the two disciples that appear. Take them out and continue through the hallways and go through the door on the left. Enter the large fire room. Go to the door on the far end and two more disciples will pop out. Kill them and then go through the door to reach a large lift. Go down and enter the next large room to fight more disciples. Kill these two and continue to the next room which will lead both left and right. Go either way and it will take you to a large room with a large structure in the center. Jump up on top of one of the beams above and jump on top of the structure to trigger another scene. Afterwards jump up to the catwalk above and there will be two disciples there. On will keep force pushing you, so if you have absorb, now would be a good time to use it.



Take them out and then head for the door on the right. Follow the hallway until you come outside. Kill the disciple here and enter the door. Follow the hallway to the next room and take out the stormtroopers in here. Make sure you nail the missile launcher Storm trooper on the right quickly before he gets to fire off a rocket or two. When they are all dead, go through the door on the right and take out some more disciples. Follow the corridor to the end and make a left down the next hall way. Take out the disciple there and enter the control room after he is defeated. Pull the switch in here and it will deactivate the blue force field. Use force speed after you pull it and run through before it activates again. Another scene will play when you enter to show where you need to go. Make your way forward past two of the steamers and jump to the right to land on the roof of a door way.



Drop down to the walkway and then jump over to the balcony beside it. From there jump to the next balcony and then down to the walkway. Go to the end and enter the hallway on the side. Go up the elevator lift there and you will come out to another conveyor belt. Jump across to the belt and follow it to the end and jump over to the last balcony on the left. Follow the hallway around and you will come to another room with another conveyor. Jump on it again and you will be moving towards an electrical field. Wait for a box to go to the lightning and then the sides will close. Use force speed when they are opening and jump over the box. For the next two crushers, wait for the box to go through the blue field and the field will disappear for a few seconds before the crusher comes down. Use force speed to crawl through the opening and reach the other side. Take out the officers here and go through the door on the far right.



Kill the disciple there and follow the corridor around to a large room and another scene. So of course that means another disciple will appear so kill him and then jump your way up to the flat platform under the blue force field on the right. Wait for the platform to appear out of the blue field and jump up on it. When it takes you over to the other side, jump off to the platform there. When you land a scene will play and you will be given a choice of attacking Rosh or not. If you choose not to, then switch your saber to a gun and you will have picked the light side. If you attack Rosh with the saber then you choose the dark side and the next few missions are a lot tougher. After the scene Alora attacks and you need to defeat her. Use force speed as usual and she isn't too difficult to beat. After the battle another scene plays and the mission ends.



Sith Temple

Now that the battle is on, when you land on Korriban you will have some Jedi friends to do a lot of the dirty work for you. Assuming you picked the light side, if not, and you picked the dark side, than you will have to fight them as well as the disciples. Make your way into the temple and let the Jedi following you do the battle with the disciples as you come across them. Use force sense to check thee health of the Jedi on your side just incase thy start getting beat too badly. Make your way through the temple and you will come to a large room on the left with more than a few disciples in it. Push the four statues in each corner back and then the floor will open and a staircase will be accessible. Go down a floor and walk to the far side and take the stairs all the way down to the floor below. Join the battle that is raging and after all the disciples are dead, there will be two doors at each side of the room.



Go to the door on top of the ledge and use force sense. On the floor will be three symbols and on the stones around the door will be more symbols. Use force push to press thee stones that match the symbols on the floor in the reverse order since the symbols are backwards. Right side, bottom, top and then left side middle. Go through the door when it opens and you will run into some more disciples. Turn around when you enter the room at the bottom and use force sense. You will see three symbols on three stone to the right of the door. Pull those stones out to make a ledge and jump your way up. Jump over to the top of the center structure and from there over to the open door way. Make your way through down the corridor and take out the disciples that appear. Enter the large room at the bottom and join the battle there to destroy the disciples there. When all is quiet, hop down the hole in the floor and follow the tunnel to another battle with more disciple and Jedi.



Clear them out and go to the left and around the corner to a door way. Go through and you will enter another large room full of disciples. At the sides of the room will be stairs that lead down to the far part of the room that is lower. There is a hole in the wall here that you can go through to continue on. You can either jump up the ledges to reach a secret area or start dropping down to the cave opening below to continue on. Follow the corridor to a round room and fight off the disciples in there. Go down the ramp that leads out of the room and follow it down to another room with, you guessed it, more disciples. Take them out as well and continue down the stairs leading from the room to another small room filled with lava. Go around the ledge and up the stairs on the other side to enter a large room with more disciples.



Take out the first three then head to the back of thee room to find three more. When they are dead, break the two columns at the far end of the room under the block of white stone and break the chains on the back of the two big blocks and the platform above will come crashing down and break. Jump up on top of the big blocks and jump up to the next level. Now you are back in the main room where you were earlier with the two doors. Since you knocked the bottom out from the other door that was locked, it will be open now and guarded by a force speed using disciple. Defeat him and pass through into the next area.

Sith Tomb

Exit through the door ahead of you and you will be outside. The battle will still be waging between Jedi and disciples so help them out as you make your way down and to the left. When you reach the sand continue going left until you come to a large gap. You can drop down to the cave on the left for a secret area or just continue and jump over the gap to the other side. Make your way to the dueling Jedi and clean up the area. After the fighting is done, force push the pillar there over and it will make a bridge to the other side.



Take out the disciples here and drop down into the hole landing on ledge to ledge and enter the tunnel at the bottom. Follow it upwards and jump out to the left when you reach the end of the hall to reach outside. Take out the missile shooting trooper quickly and then kill the rest of the troopers here. Make your way towards the shuttle and some disciples will pop out for some fighting fun. Kill whoever gets in your way and make your way up the slope on the left to enter the tomb of Ragnos. When you get inside, a scene with Tavion starts and the battle quickly follows. To defeat Tavion, just use force speed and time your whacks on her correctly.



She isn't hard to defeat and usually a saber throw from her that you can get around will give you enough time to take her down. After Ragnos takes over for her, do the same thing with force speed and wait for her to attack. Go around her attack and slash at her from behind and he will be defeated once and for all. If you chose the dark side earlier on by killing Rosh and had to fight through the Jedi and the disciples to get here, then your ending battle is different. Instead of fighting Tavion twice, you will square off with Kyle for the second battle. He can be defeated just like Tavion was, with force speed and a couple of well placed swipes. After each is defeated, Sit back and watch the ending to another chapter in the Star Wars Universe.



Congratulations!
