Mantis Ship Exploration & Upgrades — Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Guide
The Mantis is more than just a mode of transport in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order; it's your mobile base of operations and a hub for upgrades and customization. Exploring its various sections and understanding its functionalities can provide Cal Kestis with crucial advantages throughout his journey.
Upon boarding the Mantis, you'll find several key areas. The cockpit is where Cere Junda and Greez Dritus typically reside, and it's where you'll interact with the ship's navigation system to travel between planets. The main living area serves as a central hub, and it's here that you'll find the workbench for lightsaber customization and the Terrarium, where collected seeds can be planted.
The Mantis also serves as a place to rest and reflect. Interacting with the crew members can sometimes trigger conversations that reveal more about their backstories and the wider Star Wars lore. These interactions are vital for deepening your connection to the characters and the narrative.
