Force Abilities Overview
As a Jedi Padawan, Cal Kestis wields the Force, a mystical energy field that grants him extraordinary abilities. These powers are not only crucial for combat but also essential for navigating the game's intricate environments and solving complex puzzles. Mastering the Force is central to Cal's growth as a Jedi and his quest to evade the Empire.
Throughout his journey, Cal will learn and upgrade several Force abilities. These abilities are typically unlocked at key story moments or by interacting with ancient Jedi artifacts. Each new power opens up new possibilities for both combat and exploration, often allowing access to previously unreachable areas. The skill tree provides a way to further enhance these abilities, making them more potent and versatile.
