Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes you on a wild ride throughout a sector of the galaxy. As Cal Kestis, you have to take on threats both new and old. Here's our beginner's guide to help you when you're just starting out in Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

There are several facets to discuss in our Star Wars Jedi Survivor beginner's guide. We've included tips to help you with survival, exploration/navigation, and combat.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is an open-world action-adventure game, with some Souls-like mechanics thrown in for good measure. The challenge can ramp up considerably, especially once you're facing numerous foes. Thankfully, you can change the difficulty in the Options -> Gameplay tab. You can do this at any point in time as long as you're not in combat.

There are numerous Meditation Circles/Meditation Points scattered throughout planets and regions. These allow you to rest up, change Lightsaber stances, allocate skill points, equip perks, undergo training to test your mettle in combat situations, and the all-important fast travel system. Take note of where you've found them so you can return when you need to. Similarly, once you gain access to the Mantis, you'll have a fast travel method between planets by interacting with the Holotable/Galactic Map. And, yes, you can even return to Coruscant, the game's first area, a bit later in the campaign.

Speaking of resting up, Meditation Circles have the rest command. It restores your HP, Force, and Stimpack charges. However, it will also cause enemies to respawn. If you need to heal up as you're out and about exploring or fighting, you need to use the aforementioned Stimpack charges. You start out with two, but you'll eventually find additional items.
