Notes
There are several optional encounters and collectibles you may want to do while exploring this area. The detailed walkthrough and the video below will show you how to reach and get them.
Rendezvous with Cere’s Contact
When you first land on Jedha you’ll learn that your current objective is to rendezvous with Cere’s contact who will act as an escort. To get past this initial obstacle, jump up the ledges going to the left then wall run across the wall to reach the large ledge on the right where the hardshells are.
How to climb the steep slope
Wall jump then grab onto the ledge and shimmy to the left, jump up when you reach the end to grab another ledge and wall run to the top. There you’ll find a shortcut you can create slice that will allow you to skip this in the future.
Make your way to the Meditation Point and interact with it.
As you walk forward, you’ll see that there is a group of three stormtroopers that will get consumed by something hiding underneath the sand. This is a very subtle hint from the game developers that you should avoid being on the sand, so let’s get ready to go on the sand!
How to move forward and avoid the sand creature
There’s a shiny metal gate on the other side of this area that you’ll need to get to. Head to the left of the Meditation Point and use your ascension cable to reach the first pillar.
Keep jumping on the pillars to avoid the sand until you reach the long horizontal pillar on the ground. You’ll need to run on the sand without stopping and Force Push the metal gate then immediately run through.
When you go through the gate, there will be a group of stormtroopers in front of you. To the right will be the path you need to follow. Use the ascension cable to wall jump across your way through this area.
When you get to the other side, the floor will give way and you’ll begin sliding down into the creature that has been hiding in the sands. Jump over it to reach the rocky ledge on the other side. There will be a pillar with a pole and flag, get around it and use the ascension cable to grab onto the ledge and climb the pillar.
The creature reveals itself to be a large insect and will begin attacking the pillar. Don’t let this bother you, it can’t do anything to you while you’re up here.
You’ll eventually get to a ledge right above the pole, drop down and swing from the pole then double jump to the ledge ahead.
Once you’ve reached the upper levels, run up the fallen pillar and wall run up to this ledge. Once you’re up the ledge, cut the cable line in front of you to create a shortcut to Meditation Point.
To the left, you’ll encounter two flametroopers, defeat them and move into the building ahead. You’ll find an opening where you’ll see a squad of stormtroopers below. Jump and grab onto the metal beam above you and make it to the Meditation Point. Activate it and rest if you need to.
Walk into the building and you’ll see this grate in front of you. Jump onto it and work your way to some ledges.
You’ll be attacked by a jet trooper which will start a quick time event. Mash the button shown on the screen to break free and you’ll slide down into a room where you’ll fight even more jet troopers. If they throw grenades at you, use Force Push to throw it back at them.
After you defeat the jet troopers, a cutscene will play. It’ll be revealed that Cere’s contact is none other than the Nightsister, Merrin! After the cutscene, more Imperials will show up to attack you and Merrin, defeat them to start with your next objective.
Travel to Cere’s Base
If you recall your time with Bode on Coruscant, companions can be commanded to interact with the environment to help Cal get across obstacles. Merrin can create grapple points that you can use your ascension cable on. Keep an eye out for these points you can interact with!
Go up the ledge with the ascension cable and follow Merrin. To the right you’ll run into a large box you can push with the Force. Push it down so it slides down into the chamber you came from.
Slide down and push the box into a nook near the Jedi statues. climb the box then double jump to the ledge above.
Follow Merrin until you get to a fight with a group of stormtroopers guarding a speeder. Watch out for the Rocket Launcher Trooper and use the Force to push back any rockets they fire. After the battle, interact with Merrin to start a cutscene.
Reach the Spamels
With your ride to Cere destroyed, you’ll need to follow the four legged creature seen in the cutscene. Move forward until you reach this area. Have Merrin create a grapple point and get across to wall jump up to the ledge.
Once you get up the ledge, you’ll find an area that requires wall running. Though in this segment, you can only run on the right side of the wall. Run along the wall and jump a little to the left to get past the obstacle and jump right again to run along the wall again.
You’ll have yet another area where you’ll need to wall run then follow Merrin to a crack you need to squeeze through. Force Push the broken door and proceed to the next room. Wall run along the wall to reach the grates and climb up.
Rest at the Meditation Point and follow Merrin. Defeat the stormtroopers below and have Merrin create a grapple point. Use the ascension cable to get to the ledge above and defeat the stormtrooper across the gap. Use the grates above you to reach the other side.
Keep following the path until you reach a vertical shaft. Go down it to proceed but if you wall jump to the top, you can find a Jedha Scroll.
Use the ascension cable to reach the grates and follow the path. You’ll run into this room, you’ll need to wall run forward then wall run back the way you came from only you’re aiming for the upper level. Walk to the other side of the room and wall run to reach the top level.
Once you get to the top there will be two paths ahead of you. To your left will be a room with stormtroopers, a chest, a workbench, and some things you can scan. To the right is a path that leads to a bridge outside. The path to reach the Oasis where the Spamels are is to the right.
Climb up the grates and defeat the jet troopers you meet at the top. Activate the shortcut and return to the Meditation Point if you need to save and rest.
Wall run to reach the wall with the vertical marks on the other side to slide down into the cave below. Merrin will point out that this is a Skriton lair.
Boss Battle: Skriton
That creature that was following you in the sand is called a Skriton. This creature is both durable and extremely dangerous. If you fail to dodge its unblockable attack, it will grab you with its large pincer and sting you with its tail.
There are a couple ways you can defeat this boss. You can be on the defensive, blocking and parrying attacks while dodging unblockable attacks as Merrin chips away at it. Alternatively, if you take a more active approach then you should try to attack it from its right side. The Skriton’s left side has a power claw that can block your attacks so try to attack it from its rght.
You can destroy the claw if you damage it enough but this might not be worth the effort on higher difficulties where every move matters.
Once the Skriton is defeated, look for a spot where Merrin can make a grapple point. Have Merrin make the grapple point and scale the wall.
Once you reach the Oasis, tame one of the Spamels so you can mount it and start a cutscene.
Ride the Spamel
Now that you and Merrin are riding the Spamel, simply follow the linear path to proceed while Cal and Merrin catch up.
The sandstorm gets closer and you get attacked by a Skriton, knocking Cal and Merrin off the spamel. You’ll be in the middle of a sandstorm so you’ll need to walk forward until you see a flame. Follow this flame to reunite with Merrin.
Have Merrin create a bridge for you to cross. A pillar will fall over and break the bridge sending you downwards. Follow Merrin and you’ll eventually run into some imperials.
Boss Battle: AT-ST
Some of the stormtroopers you encounter will run away. Following them will reveal that they were baiting you to an AT-ST. Clear out any remaining stormtroopers first so you can focus on the AT-ST.
Reflect any blaster bolts it fires at you and make sure to dodge the unblockable attacks. It will occasionally shoot out stun grenades, push these away with the Force to make sure they don’t hit you.
It will also fire rockets at you that you can push back at the AT-ST with the Force. Try to close the gap so you can attack it at melee range, or you can also defeat it by using its own weapons against it.
Reaching Cere’s Base
Once the AT-ST is defeated, follow Merrin where you’ll run into your Spamel friend once again and begin a cutscene. After the cutscene, there will be a Stim Canister Upgrade right in front of you. Don’t forget to pick it up. Then you’ll need to grapple and wall run to reach the high ground.
Once you get outside, you’ll encounter a slope that you can easily slide down if you touch it. Jump to the rocky ledge and climb up the pillar, then wall run to reach Merrin.
Merrin will lead you to this door, however, it doesn’t have any form of a switch to open it. Instead, you must Force Push the door to unlock it.
A cutscene will play and now you will be able to reunite with Cere and other familiar faces! I’ll let the rest be a surprise as this next segment is very straightforward. Have fun!
After completing this objective, you will have unlocked Merrin for the Holitactics mini-game available in the Pyloon’s Saloon. We have a comprehensive Holitactics guide, which includes how to unlock all opponents and tested and proven winning strategies against each of them!
