[@mysterious___1]

The first stim increase is actually on corosaunt in the opening mission.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Good looking out, thanks!

[@EdgarDiaz-pt4qx]

Yup! There’s a little section where you can force jump up a wall and fight a security droid for a stim upgrade, but also thanks for this info!

[@mysterious___1]

@@EdgarDiaz-pt4qx I currently have 7 stims. I just went back to Jedha for the second time.

[@panedrop]

There are a couple of them on Coruscant iirc

[@guero_mocoso]

This is the way

[@abraxis59]

This was absolutely fantastic! No spoilers and great information. I have already started playing and the tricks I knew about that you mentioned are spot on and there were a few I did not already know. I have a few to add myself: 1. USE YOUR MAP - the maps in this game are, in general, flatter and the access points are clearer. The red green system is still there, but you also have the ability to create waypoints to mark chests you can't open (that don't always show up on the map) and places you can go that you have not visited yet are in yellow. Seeing these yellow markers has already helped me find a ton of side content that I would definitely have missed because it is hidden pretty well in the environment and which walls you can walk are not always clear. 2. Do not underestimate confusion. It was mentioned in this video, but it is extremely effective. The ability to use it on multiple enemies is not expensive to get. Please note that you cannot do it to animals at all early on. This is not a bug. It's a story element. 3. Saving your XP. As someone who is OK but not amazing at these games, I can get myself into trouble that I cannot get out of and lose some XP in a death. Remember however that you only lose what you have earned since acquiring your last POINT not skill. So, if you have died in a situation where recovering your corpse and living is hard, just accumulate enough additional XP out in the world so that when you go back for your body, it pushes you to the point where you earn another skill point. That way, if you die again, you will lose virtually nothing because it is in the "protected" fully earned point. 4. For PC keyboard users remap your keys - the game is a little awkward about this, but putting key commands in easier to reach places can be critical. 5. There is an survival ability that you can get relatively quickly that will allow you to use your healing MUCH quicker. At first you may think this is not too big a deal, but remember that it is pretty easy to cancel the heal action by moving or having to dodge or block. This ability makes it almost instant.

[@marintoss]

One more tip, before you start your New journey+ do 100% exploration. Look for every loot you can find, if you can max out your skill points and you will enjoy your NJ+ much more because you won’t think about every crate and how to get to it, you’ll just have a story line to think about.

[@dwirtz0116]

9:50 - You can also scan new things from afar by utilizing BD's handy binocular mode. 🎉😀

[@belatar]

nice. one remark: there is one stim upgrade you can get even earlier than the ones you described. its directly after first using wall jumps in the meat area. hop onto a platform to the left of your meditation point and kill the droid there.

[@d4rkst0rm16]

with dual wield, you CAN actually dodge/jump mid attack if you L1 at the same time as dodge. I think this makes dual wield an S tier stance as you can go hyper aggressive but still be able to effectively retreat

[@VoteRFK]

I really love the holo mini game. I wish it had unlimited situations, I could play that all day but I beat all the characters and now got nothing to do on it. 😢

[@422katieleigh]

The first stim is actually on Coruscant, don’t miss it! I think I had 6 stims before I left Kobo.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Good looking out, thanks!

[@Reoh0z]

Mind blown on the floor dodge.

[@Danne1886]

I had no idea those little droids had loot. The thoughts of killing one never even crossed my mind lol.

[@Leohlyon]

Same.I actually killed one on accident earlier today, and that’s when I realized they have loot.

[@matthewbush3360]

When I found out, I went about trying to see what other droids and creatures have secrets like that and actually found out that some droids in the laboratory can’t be attacked since they can give rumors. I highly recommend you check every npc for a rumor because they can be pretty fun to accomplish

[@starkillerbeats420]

With the scamp scav Droid, use the time slow click l3 and r3 in and you can get close to them easily taking them out

[@Lucifurion]

The first stim upgrade is on Coruscant during the opening mission. When you drop into the meat area as soon as you hit the conveyer belt where you have to turn around and climb out, as soon as you’ve climbed out there is a little wall nearby that you can climb up and there is a security droid there and a stim upgrade, it actually appears at 12:31 in this video. Just make sure to thoroughly explore that area and you can’t miss it.

[@mightymadman]

Honestly, they're all great but the best advice here is to leave Koboh asap. I went full explore mode and now I have to return to half of the map. At least I have the meditation points but it's way better to discover it naturally and organically. Great vid! Now the patches we we await

[@ClearlyNeo]

Something I like to do is use single blade and the blaster stance. Purely for cosmetics though, because I’ll use the single blade in close combat and switch to blaster to show different combos, and we know that you store up shots by doing that. So when it comes time for me to fall back I can use the shots and switch back to single when I’m ready to strike lol. I’m really enjoying this game

[@VoteRFK]

Yea I'm not using single but I always feel like I should since he's always using single blade in cut scenes.

[@EndureSurvive93]

Ngl I did this all organically because I like you check everything I can before progressing and I can attest these are all invaluable tips and tricks 👍 didn’t know dual sabers can cancel out tho that’s pretty cool

[@BHarv5]

This is one of the better Jedi Survivors tips videos that I’ve seen, well done! Tips that are really useful and advise that is useful to players earlier on. Thanks a lot and you’ve got a new subscriber.

[@Reoh0z]

I need to see the B.O.S.S., those large containers for one tiny stim is an inefficient shipping practice!

[@reaversix2798]

Good stuff as always. BTW great tip on leaving koboh early!

[@jambea99]

Loving the game so far and these tips come in handy. Thanks for not giving away spoilers too.

[@CalAndAly]

Great tips esp the one about leaving early knowing I’ll come back to koboh! Looking forward to more fallen order vids! Maybe one focused on combat management? How to keep a clear head and not overreact to things? Or maybe how to think about boss patterns in general instead of just walk through so we can enjoy the challenge, but be better equipped to figure them out ourselves? Cheers man!

[@jonathanjoyce2376]

Attention to detail is always good. I managed to miss that the becons at bosses restored health and assumed it was just to recover XP! Thanks Codiak

[@Xariann]

Can always count on you to come up with good tips.

[@Starcat5]

8:08 The absolute first Stim upgrade can actually be found during the opening on Coruscant. Try poking around the meat processing plant. Be sure to snag it now, because it'll be many, many hours before you can come back for it.

[@randys8974]

So absolute.

[@swayze_mane]

b2 battle droids/missiles: i find it a little easier to force pull missiles then force push them back. i think the timing is a bit more lenient, and u can hold it for a bit before it explodes. but i think this uses 2 force actions so its less efficient on the meter

[@avalongaming24]

Nice video, thank you for sharing!

[@sirdork730]

This is incredibly helpful!

[@panedrop]

Lots of great advice, thank you,

[@RayIveySeriously]

Great stuff, thanks!

[@tidianesimpson]

Hi quick correction. You can’t dodge cancel out of an attack with duel wield but you can cancel an attack into guard and into any move (which includes dodging) i have clips of me doing this. Also you can cancel a dodge into a guard which if timed right you can do a dash cancel which will parry incoming attacks

[@carimccune3130]

Great content, thanks!😊

[@user-kc4dj1lt4g]

I appreciate the video. It was great learned a lot no spoilers

[@stevedavidson7804]

Excellent video thank you

[@jbroheme]

Can't wait for load outs and crossplay. Also would be nice to be able to join from main menu, like original rather than loading you game than going to crystal. This is my favorite game. Lol

[@kenthart7519]

The holomap will reveal the areas you need to go especially in tangent with the navigation assist in the options menu

[@mattpekah9546]

1. Don’t stress the stones for mystery card for stim you will find most of them on the way and can’t spend them. 2. If you are min/maxing using the skill reset should free up the point they make you spend on single saber while teaching you the skill tree.

[@stephenruh2474]

There's a stim opportunity before you get to Koboh, when you get knocked down to the meat distrcit on Coruscant. Great video though, thanks for your helpful tips!

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Thanks for sharing!

[@susancoppins5000]

Thanks bro

[@elliotthannam8374]

*Incomprehensible excitement noises* 9 days! 9 days! NINE MORE DAYS UNTIL I GET TO PLAY THIS!

[@byron5299]

Dont forget to scan a enemy after u beat it the firat time it gets added to the tactical guide. It will give you every enemies weakness.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Totally! A must do every time.

[@therandapoto6758]

I can’t stand side missions. Usually, they are a deal breaker for me. I wish Horizon didn’t have side missions. But I’m okay with the side missions in Jedi survivor because they flow with the game so well. They just add to the discovery of the planet.

[@TomSp88]

the first empire cash with a stim upgrade is not on Koboh but on coruscant

[@nevik2950]

Can you still use force pull on missiles to pluck missiles with the right timing and hold it in place? I love doing that in fallen order, but the timing is very picky.

[@Roketman-uf8du]

An additional fact to BD’s Slicing upgrade, once you unlock electro darts, you can shoot the droid for an instant hack, regardless of health, it has to be out of combat though

[@BuddyChy]

Yeah it’s actually hilarious. I started abusing that mechanic as much as possible. So many instances I dart B2, magnaguards, security droids, and droidekas and it makes encounters slight work lol

[@noble3887]

Another tip, don’t play on performance mode as it’s pretty much not reliable in terms of frames. From my experience on the series x, it’s better to play on quality as when I switched to performance the amount of frame drops and crashes almost made it unplayable. It seems like quality is going to genuinely be more stable until we get a patch that actually optimizes performance mode

[@BuddyChy]

I play on ps5 and performance mode is FAR smoother. Even with the dropped frames and graphical texture loading, it’s still far better generally especially for combat and movement.

[@randys8974]

PS5 performance mode looks so bad. I do quality mode / LG OLED 65" - looks and runs pretty good could be better but game is amazing and pretty stunning in some areas

[@BuddyChy]

@@randys8974 the low frame rate in quality mode just isn’t worth the visuals imo. Performance mode is much smoother especially in combat and traversal, and the game can still look beautiful at times.

[@ProwlersPit]

You didn't say where go. Also I wanted to get the wisdom perk, but he's never around. I already saved him. I figure stay in koboh get as much experience as I can before. And I definitely would like to get that wisdom perk

[@XGiveMeLibertyX]

I played almost all the way through fallen order without realizing I could increase my stim count 😂 so many fights I lost with just a couple hp away from defeating my enemy and would have saved me an hour of replaying the same boss if I just had an extra stim

[@SevenDaysToNoon]

Great video. Oh small thing but caché is pronounced cash not kaysha. 👍

[@litewinger]

No one seems to mention that you can PULL rockets toward you, aim them in a different direction, then push them in that direction. Have fun with that.

[@justinmosher8163]

One more thing. I suggest completing the game as much as you can before starting NG+.

[@stephenmeinhold5452]

Things I wish I knew before playing Jedi survivor it didn't run like crap

[@chrishanson8496]

I should know already but don't you loose your experience if you don't recover it before you die? Your saying wait till your near dead to get your experience. That's an unnecessary risk. Just go threw everything in the first planet early. I had 7 stems by the time I arrived in jedda. Plenty for the average player to fumble threw combat if needed But I'm actually getting good so I don't even need them. I rarely use more than 3/4 per checkpoint.
