A rough landing on Koboh has damaged the Mantis so your goal now is to meet up with Cal’s old pilot friend Greez, to fix the starship. Your first time on Koboh is a pretty long trek initially, and you’ll be back many time over the course of the game to explore other areas later.
Find Greez
You’ll start in the Gorge Crash Site but need to travel a lot to reach Rambler’s Reach Outpost. Start by following the path to the left until you’re forced into a tutorial for the BD Visor and BD-Noculars to set a beacon on the large Trontoshell creature.
Now head right and take the lift down to reach the Gorge Crash Site Meditation Point. From here, head left and wall run across the cliff wall on the right to reach some rock platforms with some battle droids. Keep going forward and you’ll enter a cavern with more droids and a Bedlam Raider. Carry on through the cavern and get out by going through the dark tunnel and along the ridge, then climb up and left along the vines. Jump to the next area and activate the zipline shortcut back to the Meditation Point, then climb along more vines to reach more raiders and droids.
After this combat encounter, wall run to the upper level, then jump to the yellow platform in the tar pit. To progress, you need to blow up the yellow dam by Force Pulling a roller mine droid from the tar and then Force Pushing it at the dam to destroy it and flood the area. The platform you’re on will rise, allowing you to reach the next ledge, where you can sever a cable to set up another shortcut.
Follow the walkway around the tar, passing a pit droid as you go, to reach the Derelict Dam area. Head downhill to get to the Derelict Dam Meditation Point and from here head right and go over to the yellow, gunked-up bridge. Cross over by jumping the gap to the left, then jump down to the platform in the tar pit. You will have noticed the crumbling dam and you’ll be blowing this one apart just like before, although there are some extra steps you'll have to take.
First, grapple to the vines, climb up the dam, and walk along it. You’ll notice a raider and some droids outside a building below – if you wait, roller mines will actually blow most of them up for you. Now, head inside and make your way through the tunnel, bearing left - you can find the Star Wars Jedi Survivor Vashtan Wolfe character in here but won't be able to do much just yet (check that guide for more details) then drop into the hatch at the end.
Carry on and get BD to slice the terminal to activate a roller mine dispenser. Grab the mine that comes out and Force throw it at the cracked cave wall to blow it open. Now do the same for the gunked-up bridge to lower it into place. Finally, get a roller mine to follow you across the bridge and then pick it up and lob it at the dam to blow it up and flood the tar pit. You can now hop across the platforms to reach the other side and the Trontoshell!
Next, use lift to go down and follow the path around to the left to fight a few droids. There’s a large cube in this area that you need to Force Push towards the wall with a blue marking on it. Climb onto the cube and wall run around to the upper area, then cut the cable to create a rope that you can swing from.
Drop down and climb the ledge near the rope and then grab it to swing across to the yellow ledge where a Bogling is sitting. Follow the Boglings through the tunnel and head up by wall jumping. This’ll get you to the Southern Reach Meditation Point.
Follow the path around to the Southern Reach proper and you’ll meet a woman called Mosey, and Rambler’s Reach Outpost will be in your sights. Just head downhill towards town and you’ll reach the Rambler’s Reach Outpost Meditation Point. Carry on into the middle of town and look for Pyloon’s Saloon – the large building with the glowing sign above the brown door. Approach it and you’ll trigger a cutscene that introduces Rayvis, leader of the Bedlam Raiders.
Zeik boss fight
You’ll then go straight into a boss fight against one of the other raiders, Zeik. They have some hard-hitting unblockable attacks, but nothing too deadly so they should be easy to beat. You’ll face a lot more Bedlam Raiders exactly like Zeik as you play, so consider this an intro to Jedi Survivor’s melee-focused enemies. With Zeik dead, you can finally head inside Pyloon’s Saloon to meet Greez!
Rest in the basement
Once inside your objective is to rest in the basement room, but explore the saloon before you do. Head across the bar and go through the door on the right to get to the kitchen, then head go through the door on the left to get down to the basement. Rest at the Pyloon’s Saloon Meditation Point here but to progress further, you need to interact with the bed.
