A Bag Full of Explosives
After dealing with Captain Phasma in the previous story mission, you will start the next mission outside the Starkiller base. Go to the marked entrance.
Once inside, you will get a task to place 4 bombs at the supporting columns . The area is guarded by enemies, but it is possible to eliminate them with surprise attacks. To do this, you have to sneak behind their backs and press the stealth button (Triangle / Y button on your gaming controller). The fact that the field of view of the enemies is very limited makes it easier. You can also watch their cone of view them - they are symbolized by orange cones.
You can reach the marked bomb planting spots in any order. In each of these places, you just need to press the interaction button.
After planting the charges, go back to the exit. You will advance to the Destroying Starkiller level .
Destroying Starkiller - challenges
This level features 3 challenges:
- Heck of a Pilot! You have to sneak out 3 times from the enemies which are targeting you. This challenge has to be completed in the first part of the mission. Every time you receive a warning that an enemy missile is targeting you (example in the picture above), roll left or right to avoid getting hit.
- Snow Joke - You have to make a snowman from Kylo. It is only possible to complete the challenge in Free Play. You have to get to the location where the second fight with Kylo Ren takes place. Instead of attacking the boss, destroy the surrounding objects to construct a snowman from picture 1.
- Now switch to any of the unlocked Jedi characters (unfortunately it cannot be Finn). Position yourself exactly behind the snowman (picture 2) and wait for Kylo Ren to appear in front of him. Quickly press the Force button to push the snowman towards the boss and cause a collision. If you miss, you will unfortunately have to restart the level to try again because the snowman cannot be rebuilt.
- Keeping a Cool head - You have to shoot off the helmets from the heads of 5 snow stormtroopers. You can do it between fights with Kylo Ren in the second part of the level. Target the headgear of common enemies with your blasters.
Destroying Starkiller - spaceship battles
This stage has two main parts. In the first one, you will be piloting a spaceship, and your task will be to destroy the defense of the Starkiller base .
Specifically, you have to destroy:
- at least 10 fighters - you can use the main cannon or torpedoes to destroy them
- 15 stationary cannons and 15 turrets - these are stationary objects attached to the base and marked as objectives and targets
As you take part in this battle remember to focus on all notifications, especially those which indicate that you were locked or targeted by enemy. These can be typical lock target that you react to by performing a loop in the air (L1 R1 or LB RB on gaming controller), or warnings about incoming rockets that can be evaded by doing a rollover (L1 or R1).
After destroying the nearby fighters and defense systems, the flight through the trench will begin. It does not contain any specific targets. It is worth taking an interest in shooting at the next cannons and other objects in order to collect large amounts of coins and potentially get some collectibles.
After completing this sequence, you will advance to a boss fight in which you have to face against Kylo Ren.
Destroying Starkiller - Kylo Ren boss
A fully-fledged duel with Kylo Ren boss, in which Finn and Rey will take part, awaits you.
The duel consists of 3 parts and in each of them your task will be to empty one of the boss' health bars.
Kylo Ren has red attacks, which include long jumps combined with ground slams, charges and flinging his lightsaber. With these attacks, use dodge so that you do not fall within the range.
Always attack Kylo Ren with a character equipped with a lightsaber. The first character to do so is Finn. Blaster attacks will not have the desired effect, because the boss is able to automatically block them or deflect them with his sword (a reflected blaster projectile can easily kill your hero!).
Also, you can safely block his attacks yourself. It can be especially useful in melee combat.
Our description of the duel doesn't include the tactic of throwing a lightsaber at the boss, since a bug may prevent you from performing this action. If this action works correctly in your version of the game, you can use it to weaken the boss from a distance. However, it is not mandatory to win the fight.
At certain moments of the duel, melee combat QTE sequences may be triggered. All their variations involve mashing (pressing quickly) the indicated button in order to win a wrestle with Kylo Ren.
After Kylo Ren loses the first of 3 health bars, he will run away for the first time. You have to chase him, but fortunately it is not complicated. Destroy the objects that Kylo Ren knocked over and start making your way through the forest.
You will encounter minor opponents along the way, and you may try to ignore them or get rid of them as they come (with a there's an achievement connected to it).
Ultimately, you will reach the place where the second part of the fight with Kylo Ren takes place. The part of the duel will not surprise you with any new abilities and you have to use the same strategy of avoiding red attacks and dealing damage.
After emptying the second health bar, new QTE scenes with button mashing will be triggered. They also have an important role in the plot, because your lightsaber will be taken by Rey. Finn will be using a blaster from now on.
For the second time, you have to go in pursuit of the boss. Get rid of a new group of regular enemies and run across the wing of the crashed fighter.
The route will lead you to a larger vertical wall. Each of the heroes can use their own skill to reach the top – Rey from the web launcher on the left (produce it after holding the gadget selection button), and Finn to pull himself to the hooks on the right.
You have to get to the place where the third part of the fight with Kylo Ren will take place, but before you attack the boss, better get rid of the new mobs.
Again, you have to focus on avoiding the boss's special attacks and use the lightsaber (as Rey) to deal damage to him. The duel will end with a cut-scene.
Piece of the Resistance
A short epilogue of Episode 7 is still ahead of you. After returning to the resistance base, follow BB-8 to the command center entrance. After watching the cut-scene, go towards the landing site to use the team's spaceship.
You need to plan your trip to Ahch-To , specifically to the Temple Island. Climb the stairs. After reaching the meadow, you will meet Luke and the Episode will end.
