Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the path, defeating Sandsharks and Constructobots.
  2. 2
    Reach an elevator platform leading to a split path. The path with Swingshot targets is for the 'Locate the Gadget' objective. The path with conveyor belts leads to Skidd's Agent.
  3. 3
    Be cautious of Constructobots; falling may reset you to the checkpoint.
  4. 4
    Take another elevator down to an area with a swamp, more Sandsharks, and Constructobots.
  5. 5
    Grab the ledges marked with yellow lights to continue.
  6. 6
    Before grabbing the second ledge, drop down to another area to find a Holocards deck.
  7. 7
    Continue ascending, shimmying around ledges as needed.
  8. 8
    Reach the top and defeat the Blarg soldiers attacking Skidd's Agent. Focus on the Dropship first.
  9. 9
    After defeating all enemies, Skidd's Agent will show you an Infobot for Rilgar. If you've already helped Skidd, you'll be teleported to their ship.
  10. 10
    For the 'Locate the Gadget' objective, follow the path with Swingshot targets.
  11. 11
    This path is linear and contains explosive crates. Use the Combuster from a distance if preferred.
  12. 12
    You will find the Hydrodisplacer gadget, which allows manipulation of water.

    Use the Hydrodisplacer on the receptacle to drain the water in the current room.

    Drop into the now-drained area to find a Gold Bolt in the water.
  15. 15
    In the next room, use the Hydrodisplacer to fill the gap with water, allowing you to cross.
  16. 16
    Return to your ship and set course for Planet Kerwan.
Tips

  • Use the Combuster to destroy explosive crates from a distance if you feel unsafe detonating them up close.
