Saving & Loading Mechanics

Understanding the saving and loading mechanics in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is crucial for managing your progress and avoiding the loss of valuable playtime. The game utilizes a system of Meditation Points that serve as both save points and respawn locations, integrating saving directly into the exploration and combat loop.

Whenever Cal Kestis rests at a Meditation Point, the game automatically saves your progress. This includes your current location, collected items, unlocked abilities, and any story progression. It's essential to actively seek out and utilize these Meditation Points frequently, especially after sificant achievements, discoveries, or challenging combat encounters.

When you die or choose to 'Respawn' from a Meditation Point, you will return to the last Meditation Point you rested at. Any enemies you defeated will respawn, and any items you collected will remain with you. This system encourages a cautious approach to exploration and combat, as death carries a penalty of returning to a previous save state with respawned enemies.

Key aspects of the saving and loading system:

• Automatic Saves: Progress is saved automatically upon resting at any Meditation Point.
• Manual Saves: There is no traditional manual save option; all saves are tied to Meditation Points.
• Respawn Mechanic: Upon death, Cal respawns at the last used Meditation Point.
• Enemy Respawn: All defeated enemies will reappear after respawning.
• Item Persistence: Collected items and experience points are retained after respawning.

It is highly recommended to make it a habit to rest at Meditation Points whenever you find them. This not only ensures your progress is saved but also allows you to refill your health and Force meters, and potentially unlock new skills if you have accumulated enough experience.
