The Republic Research Laboratory in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor represents a key high-tech facility filled with intricate puzzles and crucial story developments. Located high above the horizon, this High Republic era facility offers vital clues for Cal Kestis as he seeks a safe passage to Tanalorr. Mastering this area requires a firm grasp of platforming mechanics, Force abilities, and environmental navigation.
Locating the Republic Research Laboratory
Players can access the Republic Research Laboratory on the Shattered Moon during the main storyline mission to pursue Rayvis. Navigating across the Shattered Moon eventually leads Cal through dangerous corridors and outdoor platforming sections. Players will unlock a dedicated meditation point upon arriving at the entrance, ensuring quick fast travel and recovery access.
Before attempting to clear this location, players should ensure they have unlocked fundamental traversal gear like the Upgraded Ascension Cable. These mobility tools allow Cal to zip between floating platforms and reach elevated ledges effortlessly. Preparing your Force abilities beforehand makes traversing the area significantly smoother.
Solving the Orb and Koboh Matter Puzzle
Inside the laboratory, players encounter a central puzzle involving a power orb concealed behind protective glass. The forward path remains heavily obstructed by dangerous Koboh Matter that blocks progression. Solvers must position themselves correctly on the opposite side to Force Pull the orb through an opening.
Once the orb is pulled onto the platform, it rolls under a partially open door toward a designated socket. Depositing the orb into the coupler activates a continuous energy beam. Cal can then use BD-1's Koboh Grinder tool to ignite a trail from the beam straight to the obstructing corruption, clearing the way forward.
Finding All Ten Collectibles
The Republic Research Laboratory houses a total of ten unique collectibles hidden across its rooms and walkways. Explorer completionists can track down five databank entries, three cosmetic chests, one Force essence, and a treasure datadisc. Many of these items sit high on hidden ledges or behind green laser barriers.
To collect every item, players must make clever use of grapple points, wall runs, and BD-1's slicing upgrades. Scanning control panels near meditation points and checking behind floating containers yields valuable lore entries. Taking time to search every corner rewards players with useful perks and customized gear pieces.
Confronting Threats and Advancing the Story
Reaching the heart of the research facility brings Cal closer to confronting Bedlam Raider boss encounters. Defeating tough combatants here relies on effective stance switches and timely parries. The rewards gained from clearing this facility provide major boosts to Cal's combat potential.
Completing the walkthrough in the Republic Research Laboratory unlocks crucial narrative progress for the wider campaign. The insights gathered within these ancient High Republic walls directly set up subsequent missions across Koboh and Jedha. Returning later with endgame abilities ensures you can claim any missed secrets effortlessly.
