Star Wars Jedi: Survivor beginner's guide - Exploration and combat tips
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.

Change the difficulty mode if you want to
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.

Meditation Circles act as your bonfires and fast travel points
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.

 

Rest and heal up when necessary
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. You can learn more in our Stim upgrade locations guide.

Disable fall damage
Given that you'll be running, jumping, and grappling around a lot, you're likely to fall down to your doom if you're not careful. If you fall from a greater height (i.e., roughly a couple dozen meters or so), the screen will fade to black and you'll reappear at the ledge/cliffside before you started jumping. You'll also notice that Cal has lost a bit of HP.

We suggest disabling fall damage under the Options -> Gameplay -> Exploration tab. The screen will still fade to black and you'll respawn if you drop down to your doom. But, this will prevent Cal's HP loss.

Respawning and retrieving your XP
As for respawning, if Cal completely loses HP and dies, you'll reappear at the closest Meditation Circle that you interacted with (technically acting as a checkpoint of sorts). Similar to Souls-like games, you'll lose all the XP you've amassed until the last skill point that you earned. To get your XP back, you'll need to return to the area where you died. You should find a glowing spot or a glowing enemy. Move to that glowing spot or hit that enemy to recover your lost XP.

Eliminate the glowing enemies, the ones that got the final blow on Cal, to retrieve your lost XP.
