Can you beat Jedi Survivor without your lightsaber and on Grandmaster Difficulty?

Jedi Survivor is one of my favorite games! Since it came out last year, I've been all over! But one challenge keeps beckoning me to give it a try! I heeded it once and gave up almost right away 8ish months ago, but after my No Dodging challenge, I knew I had to try again! So again, I did and have been coming back to over the past few months, getting my butt kicked, taking breaks and trying again! But I refused to give up on beating this challenge! Could I beat Jedi Survivor without my lightsaber and all the while on Grandmaster difficulty? Well it maybe my longest video yet, but if you have the interest, feel free to give it a watch and find out! Or skip the end and find it, but where's the fun in that!
Rules
No Lightsaber combat usage at all! No attacking, blocking, throwing, or any other use of the lightsaber! Only puzzles and traversal allow the lightsaber!
If any lightsaber usage is accidentally done, reset either by death or by exiting the game and coming back in on the last save!
If the attack doesn't use the lightsaber, it's good to go, whether it does terrible damage or great damage(it's pretty much all terrible)
Beat the entire story(Side bosses aren't needed but fun to do so feel free!)
Always keep the challenge to Grandmaster Difficulty
Practice is allowed as long as no actual progress is gained through it and all reset.
Learn the patience of a jedi master or cry, whatever works for you!

Through perseverance, anything is possible right? Except well anything that requires winning on the first try...then I'm doomed! 😅

[@NarrowSpark96]

This is an insane run. The use of holotactics knowledge on the first boss is pretty genius. I'd joke about using the Warrior Perk, but it wouldn't change much of anything.

I'm just lucky everything worked in the end! I really got unsure quite a few times! I bet the warrior perk would definitely hurt more, but ledges fix all problems!

I forgot what it is called because, I haven't played force unleashed 1, or 2 in a very long time.

@@Shenaniloon You're welcome!

[@WhitePointerGaming]

When you think about it, since Cere dies after the Vader fight anyway, you need to wonder why the game makes you almost beat him and doesn't just let your first death be canonical.

[@Shenaniloon]

Very fair point! I suppose since how hard he hits as is plus how iconic of a fight it is to fight Vader in general so it makes sense in a way to prolong it as much as they could for cinematic feel. Plus to go along with Cere doing so much damage to Vader before losing as opposed to simply losing

At some point do you try to do the crossguard downward attack? or even the force parry? It surely useful in some boss fights

[@Shenaniloon]

So if you're referring to the crossguard impact tremor, I was tempted to do that, but decided it incorporates too much lightsaber for me to allow it. As for the force parry, it won't cause damage I believe so I prefer never to waste any force usage with how hard it is to maintain.

[@Shenaniloon]

Several have mentioned that move and I'm inclined to agree at this point. I chose to avoid using it because I felt the force tremor seemed like it incorporated too much lightsaber to count fairly, but I wish I used it now
