SPOILERS AHEAD

The story begins with a captured Cal Kestis accompanied by Coruscant Underworld Police and other guards as they fly past the Jedi Temple and head down, into the depths of Coruscant. The guards take him to “The Senator” who turns out to be a “Senator Sejan.” At this point in the lengthy walk along Level 2046 you are in control of Cal’s walking, but you cannot do anything to escape. As you get to a security room, a K2 Security Droid takes over as it is now Cal, the K2 droid, a Coruscant Underworld Policeman and a Stormtrooper. The K2 droid leads Cal down a hallway for the meeting with Senator Daho Sejan, who is hoping to have Cal lead him to other Jedi. BD-1 saves the day and it turns into melee fighting with a variety of Stormtoopers to help you learn the battle mechanics.

As the Senator looks to escape, BD sends an EMP bomb and stun the ship, causing it to crash into the platform. Cal has to hang from a beam and then do some climbing, bringing back much that we used in the Fallen Order game. As you progress through the Coruscant underworld, you get to use the abilities you became accustomed to in Fallen Order. Many of the Force abilities and Lightsaber attacks are still available, and your Databank’s Tactical Guide has many of the Imperial Troopers included already form the previous game. One other important note is the Skill Tree from Fallen Order is much expanded in Jedi Survivor, now having categories that include Survival, Lightsaber and Force with subcategories of Resilience, Single Lightsaber, Double-Bladed Lightsaber, Jedi Concentration, Telekinesis, Confusion and a couple of unnamed areas that will come later in the game.

Eventually, you run into Cal’s apparent friend Bode, who leads you through some of the underworld as you progress in this area. It turns out that Bode is a contact through Saw Gerrera. This progression takes a long time as you navigate the area, refamiliarize (or learn) the controls and progress the storyline. You fight a mini-boss, K-405 then get more backstory from Bode as you fix up a grappling hook (ascension cable).

Finally, you reach the Senator’s yacht with some of your crew from Saw, and after getting data in the yacht by using a mind trick on the Utupau Senator, you face a battle on the yacht that goes South. The Ninth Sister kills the Senator and is at the heart of this battle, but as you are set to face her things go awry.

From here you set your sights on returning to the Mantis but have to get through a Elctrostaff Purge Trooper where the Force Push comes in handy. After this you find a Force Essence inside the Meat Factory/Dryer on the left. The Confuse ability is added to allow in-battle mind tricks, then you progress along the map beating up on Stormtroopers. The remaining pieces of Herrera’s forces turn up and a battle with the Ninth Sister and her bionic right arm ensues. About 70% into the battle in you unlock the double lightsaber stance option and the fight continues. Near the end you learn that Ninth Sister was Masana Tide, a former Jedi Knight. If you do well, the battle ends and I will not spoil how.

This pretty much ends the tutorial beginning. You still have to fly off world and leave Coruscant, and once in space you figure out where to go next. At this point you are on your own, but I have a good idea where this story is heading…
