Coruscant Skill Point Essence Locations
The following Skill Point Essence locations are found on the planet Coruscant.
Freight Handling Depot
Hook onto one of the crates being transported along the roof with your ascension cable. Go through the green barrier and follow the path to reach the Skill Point Essence.
Koboh Skill Point Essence Locations
The following Skill Point Essence locations are found on the planet Koboh.
Southern Reach
Here is the easiest approach: Cimb up some vines, then swing onto two poles, grab the rope, and jump across to the plateau where the Skill Point is. Video walkthrough is available below:
You can approach it from the Corroded Silo’s roof. To get to it you can use a Relter or Double Jump and Dash. There’s a relter near the trail that initially leads you to the Southern Reach you can use to start.
From the roof of the Silo, climb the rocks up and go around, jump, and catch the rope below you with Force Pull to get to the plateau with the Essence.
Fort Kah’lin
Starting from the Fort Kah’lin Meditation Point, climb up inside the hut to the left and onto the rock ledge. There will be a balloon you can hook onto with the ascension cable upgrade to access the top level. Past two Bedlam Smashers you’ll find the Skill Point Essence right next to the vertical zip line shortcut.
Fogged Expanse
Go left of the Fogged Expanse Meditation Point and up the ledge. Activate the metal panel with the Electro Dart then run across. Turn around then run across the panel again to jump dash to a platform. Jump dash again to the Skill Point Essence.
Untamed Downs
Near Fort Kah’lin is a cave that leads to the Untamed Downs Meditation Point. Double jump then dash across the gap to find a circular room where you have to fight a Mogu, Gorocco, and a Bilemaw all at the same time. Use Force Confusion to make the fight a bit easier and claim your Skill Point Essence!
Bygone Settlement
To get to this Skill Point Essence, you’ll need the upgrade to dash mid-air. To the right of the Bygone Settlement, you can find a wall you can run across to start a series of platforming segments involving climbing, wall running, and dashing through a fan’s current. When you reach the Sandcrawler, you can find it at the very top of there.
We have a dedicated guide to the Bygone Settlement and the “Check on the Jawa Settlement” rumor. You can use it if you are having trouble traversing the area.
Rambler’s Reach Outpost
Near the entrance to Rambler’s Reach Outpost are two buildings with red-orange roofs. There’s an exposed electronic device that you can shoot with BD-1’s Electro-Dart Upgrade to power the doors.
Get on top of the building and move the coupler to the other roof to open the door below. That’s the house with the Jawas outside. Those are the same Jawas you helped in the Bygone Settlement area. Inside the building will be your Skill Point Essence.
The other house, the one where the electrical mechanism is, contains the legendary Swoop Blaster customization.
Generator Underbelly
Starting from the Generator Underbelly Meditation Point in the Lucrehulk, raise the platform to cross the pit and go left to the other platform you lift.
Go to the left of the second platform and Force Slam a platform above you to access a wall running segment.
Run across the walls to get the Skill Point Essence.
Lucrehulk Core 1
In the area where you ran into the shielded turret, is a path that leads to a rectangular, amber border before a platform. Jump down to the platform near the green barrier. To the right path you’ll find a door you can Force Lift to find the Skill Point Essence.
Lucrehulk Core 2
There’s a short hallway next to the turbolift that takes you to the Control Tower. Follow it to reach the Skill Point Essence.
Yurt Barracks 1
Go left of the Lucrehulk Core Meditation Point towards the Yurt Barracks. Once you go past the blast door, make a right. Climb up a blue grate, turn around, and jump to the platform ahead. You’ll have a fight with The Massiff, a reprogrammed MagnaGuard that’s tougher than the usual ones. Defeat it to get the Skill Point Essence.
Yurt Barracks 2
Go left of the Lucrehulk Core Meditation Point and into the Yurt Barracks. Go forward and jump down to the ledge where you see two raiders training. Defeat the raiders in the area and take a left down a hall to a door you Force Lift open. You’ll find the Skill Essence Point in the next room.
Rambler’s Reach Outpost 2
In the building covered in gatekeeper droids (the droid that looks like an eye on a stick), cut through the wires at the entrance, Force Slam the door then get through the green barrier.
Inside is a crazed person who you’ll mind trick to access the basement. Defeat the crazed person who will follow you in the basement and get the Skill Point Essence.
Doma’s Shop locked storage room
Inside Doma’s Shop is a Force Tear that will appear sometime after you defeat the Spawn of Oggdo. Inside the Force Tear you’ll have to fight Oggdo and Spawn of Oggdo. This is a very hard fight so there’s no shame in making the difficulty story mode to get past this.
You can find detailed walkthroughs for all Force Tear Locations at the end of this guide..
Gorge Crash Site
If you recall near the beginning of Koboh, there was a Pit Droid with a sunken ship. Return there when you can Force Lift (an ability Cal learn on the Lucrehulk) to lift out the ship for a Skill Point Essence. Doing this will also recruit the Pit Droid.
Untamed Downs
In the Untamed Downs is a mine shaft with multiple Roller Mines guarding the entrance. Go past the green barrier and Force Lift the door at the end of the tunnel. Defeat the legendary adversary E3-VE3 and claim your Skill Point Essence in the room to the left.
Phon’Qi Caverns
In the Foothill Falls near the pool where Skoova is when you first recruit him, there’s Relter you can use to glide down to an abandoned shack on the other side of the chasm. From the basement of this shack, there is a tunnel that leads underground to the Phon’Qi Caverns.
In the room where the bridge collapsed, wall jump across panels to reach the electrified gate then go left past the wall running segment. You’ll find the Skill Point Essence after the wall running segment.
Phon’Qi Caverns
Past the Rancor pit is a gap you need to cross to a wall jump panel to reach the ledge on the other side. Be careful of the B1 Battle Droids charging at you with thermal denotators here.
Past the ledge are three MagnaGuards, take the left path to take them on one at a time. Defeat them and follow the path to jump down through a green barrier to get your Skill Point Essence.
We have a full walkthrough for the Phon’Qi Caverns at your disposal.
Phon’Qi Caverns
Right after the previous Skill Point, you can wall jump up the panel then jump to the left to further explore the cave. You’ll eventually run into three Bedlam Raiders with lightsabers, defeat them and to up the ledge to the left past the green barrier. You’ll find the last Skill Point Essence in the Phon’Qi Caverns here.
You can access this location much earlier, while exploring the Smuggler’s Tunnels for the first time. When you reach the cave with the Gyro Module, dive underwater and look for a hole in the ground. Swim to its bottom, then up the other one and you will arrive at the exit point of the Phon’Qi caverns.
Hunter’s Quarry
Look for a large, yellow door above a cave blocked by a Koboh Barrier below it. Force Lift the door open and go inside to find an Orb Amplifier.
Around the corner is an Orb Coupler with an Orb inside of it. Force Pull the orb to you and hold onto it to safely walk through the Koboh Dust to reach the Skill Point Essence.
Check out our full guide on how to solve the Koboh Matter and Dust Puzzle at Rambler’s Reach to get access to the legendary chest inside the metal tower structure, where the Quickdraw Blaster customization is located.
Hunter’s Quarry
This Skill Point Essence can be obtained by looking into the rumor “Investigate the Roller Mine Factory”. See our Jedi Survivor Roller Mine Factory Guide (Koboh Rumor) for more information.
Derelict Dam
Near the workbench is a destructible wall. Lure a Roller Miner from the cave behind you (the one you unlocked and used for the Derelict Dam Tar Pit Puzzle) close to it so you can throw it at the wall.
Go to the end of the canyon (past the Gorroco), climb up the rope and look for the large, yellow door.
Force Lift the door (you learn this ability on the Lucrehulk mission) and hook onto the balloons with your ascension cable (requires an upgraded ascension cable to use) then jump to the ledge. You’ll find the Skill Point Essence at the top ledge.
While in the area, you may stay a while and defeat the legendary Gorocco Matriarch and pick up an additional Steam Canister.
Viscid Bog
To the right of the Gorge Crash Site Meditation Point, there’s a large yellow door. Force Lift the door open to access an elevator.
When you go down the elevator, there’s a ledge around halfway through to your left that you can use to get off early. Go on this ledge and use your upgraded ascension cable to jump off the balloons and to a ledge where a Relter is. Glide on the Relter towards mode balloons in the distance then make your way to the Skill Point Essence through the balloons.
Observation Deck
On the Observation Deck in the Mountain Observatory, activate the chamber again and expose the main hub of the observatory where you can see a grate on the other side. Place a balloon in the air to reach the grate and get past the wall running segment to the ledge.
Go left, Force Lift the door and wall jump up to the grate ahead then make a left.
You’ll have to fight two raiders with lightsabers here to claim your Skill Point Essence.
Summit Ridge
Go past the balloon near the Summit Ridge Meditation Point and go up the ledge with the vines.
Don’t drop down but instead pull a balloon from the spawner towards you, bring it back and place it above you to the right. Jump to the ledge on your right to find the Skill Point Essence.
Jedha Skill Point Essence Locations
The following Skill Point Essence locations are found on the planet Jedha.
Halls of Ranvell
Go to the Imperials near the Halls of Ranvell Meditation Point and wall run to the platform where you’ll find a wall jumping segment. Past this you’ll find the Skill Point Essence.
The Archive
There’s a floating device above the archive that you can hook onto with your ascension cable. Double jump, hook onto it, and jump to the corner where you’ll find the Skill Point.
You will need the ascension cable upgrade for this. You learn this skill during the main mission at the Observatory on Koboh.
Desert Passages
There’s a floating device in the room where you can find Sister Taske. Hook onto it to leap to the corner where you’ll find the Skill Point Essence.
Narkis Highlands
Use the shortcut from the Arid Flats Meditation Point to reach the zipline. Jump off towards the end and to the left to reach the wall jump segment. Climb your way to reach the Skill Point Essence.
Narkis Highlands
Use the shortcut next to the Arid Flats Meditation Point and go left into the pit where you fought the Skriton. Hook onto the floating device above to hook onto a wall you can wall run on. Get past the wall running and wall jumping segments to reach the Skill Point Essence.
Arid Flats 1
Use a Spamel to get to the smaller plateaus near the structure and wall jump your way up to the top. Once you get to the bridge, turn right to see a porous wall. Jump dash to it and work your way up to find an Anchorite
Arid Flats 2
There is a small cave with a square entrance that will have Hardshells and a Sutaban inside. Past them on the other side of the cave is the Force Essence.
Halls of Ranvell
Starting from the Monastery Walls Meditation Point, go into the right area of the sandpits where the Skritons lurk. Use the shortcut if you made it earlier to get to the area where all the Hardshells are. Use your ascension cable to hook onto the floating device to reach a short pillar. From there you need to wall run and jump across the pillars until you reach the Skill Point Essence.
Monastery Walls
Starting from the previous Skill Point Essence, wall run to the top of the pillars and jump onto the second before the last pillar. You can double jump dash to a pillar ahead to wall run and reach the top of a wall. Go down a hole on top of the wall pathway reach this Skill Point Essence.

This is a list of the available Skill Point Essences on Nova Garon.
Hangar Bay

There are two inactive Security Droids you can hack into if you have the upgrade. Defeat the droids and claim your Force Essence. See our guide on Nova Garon to find more collectibles there.
Officer’s Quarters
A Skill Point can be acquired in a closet on the right side of the hall leading to the Officer’s Quarters. See our guide on Nova Garon to find more collectibles there.
