Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has been added to the Nintendo Switch and brought players back to its interesting storyline and different worlds. While some things may be different from what players remember in previous versions of the game, the general story arc of the game remains the same. This includes the ability for players to change how their playthrough of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed ends.
There can be a bit of confusion for players, however, when it comes to getting the ending they want. For those players who are looking to unlock the Light side ending of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, this guide is here to help.
When To Unlock The Light Side Ending?
Unlike other games with branching storylines and more decisions, players need not worry about their actions in most of the game's missions. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a linear game that brings players to a handful of different locations but doesn't give them the freedom to alter their path until the very end.
The final mission of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed takes Starkiller, the game's protagonist, to an incomplete Death Star and this is the mission where players can alter how their story ends. The decision doesn't come until the end of this level and players have to face off against the most challenging enemies in The Force Unleashed before they can get there. This includes every type of stormtrooper in the game as well as mechanical mini-bosses and an intense showdown with Darth Vader.
How to Unlock the Light Side Ending?
After challenging Darth Vader and defeating him, players will be put into a cutscene that lays out their options. This cutscene shows the Emperor requesting that Starkiller, the protagonist of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, kill Darth Vader and join the Dark side for good. This offer is then interrupted as Jedi Rahm Kota attempts to intervene and is attacked by the Emperor. This cutscene drops players into their choice of either the Light side ending or the Dark side ending.
Players need to head to the left and attack the Emperor in order to achieve the Light side ending for this game. This will lead players into their most challenging fight to this point as they battle the Emperor. Defeating this character requires players to master Star Wars: The Force Unleashed's quick-time events but, once they have, it will jump to the final cutscene of the game. The Rebel Alliance has been saved, and the credits begin to roll.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is available on PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Switch.
