     YOU AGREED TO STAY AWAY!

           I lied, as I have from the very beginning...

After the opening cutscene, you'll start off this mission with a tutorial. The
game will walk you through the basics of the basics, good for those who have
not played the original. You are free to attack these training enemies with
saber attacks (Square), Force Push (Circle), Force Lightning (Triangle), and
so on. They won't be very powerful but you at least have them early unlike in
the first game.

After you get another scene, then the fun really begins. As you descend rapidly
toward the ground, you'll need to dodge obstacles. You can control your movement
with the Left Stick and large cannons and other objects will be highlighted
as you near them. Blow them away with Force Push or just dodge them.

You also need to watch out for the lightning bolts, so maneuver around them.
When you see yourself plummeting toward a large platform with stormtroopers,
hit Circle again for Force Push to make yourself an opening. Continue to do
this as you make your way down until finally...

How is that for an entrance? A squad of stormtroopers will enter the room and
attack you. The game will give you brief tutorials on adding Push and Lightning
to simple lightsaber combos like Square, Circle and Square, Triangle. These
troopers will play keep away so you might want to just zap them or Force Grip
them (R2).

Go through the door they entered from and you'll be outside. More troopers dot
this path at a few intervals. Try not to mess around too much, because health
can be a factor in this early going. Be direct and go right after the troopers,
using whatever means you wish. Force Grip and throwing objects can be effective
if you're familiar with that. Be sure to jump over each small gap as you fight
your way to the end of this platform.

Jump onto this round ledge here and take it around, clockwise. Two troopers can
be easily Force Pushed off into the abyss. Make your way around and use Force
Grip, holding R2 and using the Left Stick to pull a platform out that you can
jump to and from.

+-----HOLOCRON---------------------------------------------+
After using Grip to pull that platform out, on the next ledge,
you'll easily see this red crystal which contains
the Lightsaber Crystal - Chaos.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

Now proceed forward, down this walkway. Double jump and then Dash (L1) in the
air to traverse this large gap.

Another door opens to reveal more troopers, but two of them have these sort of
shock staffs or something that look like the same staffs the minions of
Grievious used in Episode III. These guys will block most but not all of your
saber attacks. Instead of just wailing away, you can zap them with Force
Lightning, or use a Grab Attack (Square + X  OR  Triangle + Circle). Another
easy way is to use Force Grip and fling them off the edge.

Another small group containing these Riot Troopers will appear, so focus on them
first, using Force Powers or grabs. Enter the door when it opens. On the other
side, you are told that you can Force Grip TIE Fighters, which won't really
provide much benefit now but can be helpful later. Destroy the stormtroopers
ahead of you. You can throw them into the nearby spinning fan on the left.

Turn right and kill two more troopers, then make a left. Time these large
furnaces correctly so as not to take unnecessary damage. Dash your way through
when they are off.

+-----HOLOCRON---------------------------------------------+
Just past the furnaces, at the end of that same hallway and before
turning left, staring you right in the face is another red Holocron
for the Meditation Crystal.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

Turn left and you'll see some troopers in easy position to be Force Pushed into
a fan. Charge up Push by holding Circle, then let them have it. If you manage
to do this to five enemies, you'll get the "Kamfetti" Trophy.

Outside, you'll have a few more riot and normal troopers to deal with. Make your
way around this platform and look to your left.

+-----HOLOCRON---------------------------------------------+
Stretching out to the left of this round platform, you should see a
long, narrow platform with a green holocron. Pick it up for a
Green Bacta Tank and a bigger health bar.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

Fend off the troopers here, throwing them off the edge if necessary. Make good
use of your Force Powers to weaken the Riot Troopers. Use Force Push to break
open the next door. You'll fight a few more enemies, then have to break open
another door to enter the facility.

Get close to the large spinning fan and you can use Force Grip on it. Hold R2
until it eventually stops. Do this again to get to the troopers and slice them
up real quick. Proceed down the tunnel.

When you have control again you'll be in a room with a forcefield. You need to
Force Grip the objects on the other side and throw them at the devices that
power the field. The game will walk you through this.

On the other side, your first batch of unfortunate stormtroopers will attack
you. You can grip the same objects and throw them at these guys, or you can
Grip them instead and toss them around, which is always fun. Slice them up,
zap them, it's your choice. Continue into a really small room.

+-----HOLOCRON---------------------------------------------+
This gold Holocron is looking you right in the face of the| small
room here. Grab it for more EXP points.
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

Proceed forward and into the next hallway for a really quick scene and a
preview of a new Force Power: Mind Trick. Try it on this trooper and he will
leap to his death.

The nearby cannons spot you, so make an exit for yourself, dropping down to the
same area the trooper jumped to. Turn left and another group of troopers will
begin to fire away. You can blow them all away with a charged Force Push (hold
Circle) or get up close and personal with those sabers.

Ahead, a few more appear, but there are more Riot Troopers with them. Either
zap them with Force Lightning, or use a grab attack. The red energy barriers
also make for really easy kills if you use Grip and throw the enemies into them.

Turning the corner, you will now have to account for the cannons and you can
see where they're aiming by the reticle on the ground. When it finds you, it
will turn red, meaning it's about to fire, so move out of the way.

Use Mind Trick on one or two of the next batch of troopers to help you clear
them out. A Charged Force Push or saber attacks will work fine. Moving on,
wait for the next barrier to lower, then engage the next few enemies.

The cannon can be used to your advantage. Standing close to enemies as you
fight them, the cannon will lock onto you. Move out of the way, and the poor
troopers take the blast instead. Toss whoever is left into the energy field,
and it will lower, letting you into the center of this area. Decimate these
troopers with Push, Lightning, and saber attacks to get to your first mini-boss
fight.

First quickly Force Push or Grip the two stormtroopers to get them out of the
way. For the Carbonite Wardroid, remove its shield first by holding R2. Then
mash X as prompted on screen. Now you might want to lock onto it by holding
R1. This lets you circle the droid left or right while staying focused on it.

The droid will try to spray you with its carbonite gun. Take too much of it
and you will be frozen. If that happens, tap Circle repeatedly to break free.

You will want to keep your distance, but all you have to hit it with is Force
Lightning. Moving in for close range saber strikes can help, but the droid
usually knocks you away. You can try attacking in the air, or just stay with
Lightning.

When you hurt it enough, a finisher button prompt appears above it. Hit X
to start it, then Square to finish it. Proceed through the next door now.

Do what you did at the start and use Grip to throw objects at the devices and
lower the field. Then Mind Trick, slash, zap and just plain destroy these
next troopers.

Outside, you will encounter several other groups of foes as you proceed along
this rain-soaked walkway. Using Mind Trick on some of these guys is recommended,
followed by bouts of Lightning or up close saber attacks. Grip can also be
used to throw guys off the edge easily.

At the end, use Force Grip on the platform. Hold R2 and use the Right Stick
to raise this platform about half way, as far as it will go. Double jump onto
it, then off it to the right.

Kill a few more troopers as you go along. Remember for the staff-wielders, you
can use grab attacks, or force them to drop their guard with a quick zap of
Lightning.

At the gap, you'll encounter a Jumptrooper. Zap them with a lot of Force
Lightning to overload their packs. Double jump and then dash (L1) to cross the
gap here.

+-----HOLOCRON---------------------------------------------+
Again, this Holocron is extremely obvious, and if you miss it, you
need an eye exam. It's hovering over the gap where the first
Jumptrooper appears. Double jump to get enough height and
then Dash to grab it for EXP points.
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

After two more jumptroopers get in your way, the second Carbonite Wardroid
attacks. Dispose of his shield first by gripping it like before. Then use
Force Lightning on it. You can also use the Stormtroopers as long-range weapons
and Force Grip them, infuse them with Lightning, then throw them at the droid.
When it explodes, proceed through the doorway it came out of.

+-----HOLOCRON---------------------------------------------+
Before doing anything else, as soon as you enter this door that
the droid came out of, turn left. You should see the blue/purple
holocron. Grab it for more Force useage.
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

Turn right and start running. Eventually the perspective will change and you
will have to run toward the camera. Speed things up by using your Dash over
and over. Keep moving and ignore all the enemies, going around them instead.

Go through the door at the end and approach the large tower. Some TIE Fighters
will fly by and will be open for Force Grip. Grab one and hold R2 as you watch
the fighter get crushed like a sheet of paper into a ball. Try to point the
Right Stick at the tower and fling it at it. Do this two more times and the
tower should fall. Double jump and dash your way over. On the far side of this
platform, jump onto the collapsed tower and use it as a bridge.

The game instructs you on how to activate Force Fury. Unleash the rage by
pushing both sticks in. All your Force Powers are turned up to 11! Use Grip
on both of the AT-ST's here and then mash X to destroy them that easily!

Your last obstacles are two squadrons of stormtroopers. While still using Force
Fury, try to take out some of them with your saber. Notice how your attacks
change? Save some for one awesome attack that I love a lot. Let them surround
you a little if you can, hold L2 and then hold Circle to charge up a Force
Repulse. Release it and all the stormtroopers will disintegrate.
