Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has a vast amount of content for players to explore in the beloved Star Wars universe. The game allows players to continue the experience after beating the main story by progressing into New Game Plus, which is referred to as New Journey Plus. While additional Journeys may be enticing, some players may want to hold off and complete a few more tasks before restarting Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
The important thing to consider before starting another Journey in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is understanding what kind of things will carry over, and what kind of things will need to be earned again. Players will end up losing most of their platforming tools and abilities, which means that some puzzles and collectibles in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor won’t immediately be available on the new Journey. For any completionists looking to fully experience Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, it’s far more efficient to tackle this task with all tools available by the end of the game.
What Players Should Collect Before Starting a New Journey in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
In total, there are two parts to unlocking full access to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's Holotactics mini-game, which are enemy unit scans and friendly NPCs to compete against. Players can be successful in Holotactics without having a full inventory of units to employ, though it's in the player’s favor to have more units available. The characters that act as opponents in this mini-game aren’t quite as generous, but at the same time, unlocking NPCs is a lot more manageable.
A final opponent will become available after defeating every NPC in Holotactics, so players will want to take advantage of having access to every character while they can. For players who want to grab every collectible, pursuing map upgrades in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the way to go.
Obtaining the upgrades for the map to show each type of collectible requires a variety of late-game tools and abilities to access. One of the map upgrades requires players to fully expand the Pyloon Saloon’s garden, for example, while another is only found if players meticulously explore Koboh. Still, tracking down remaining collectibles in the game is a productive way to pass the time and allow the garden to fully grow.
While the map upgrades will carry over into new Journeys, any shortcuts, and platforming abilities won't. The plant seeds map upgrade is arguably the best upgrade to bring into new Journeys. Also, many new Force Echoes that give details about how the events of the story have affected the world will be added, and these will only be available on Journeys with a completed story.
New Journeys Will Increase Difficulty in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
One of the features that new Journeys bring to the experience is harder combat. With this in mind, players may want to defeat bounty hunters to collect their Bounty Pucks in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor before restarting. Most of the items that players can exchange Bounty Pucks for are skills for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's blaster stance, which can be helpful if fans want them in a new playthrough. Ultimately, any additional skills are sure to come in handy on the difficulty of new Journeys, where the bounty hunters can then be challenged at the player's leisure.
Although the difficulty is increased, players will still have access to all lightsaber stances, perks, and skills on new Journeys. The max level in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is relatively hard to reach unless players are actively going for it, but finding each skill point upgrade is a good way to make some fast progress. Otherwise, players can adjust their set difficulty at any time if they find it too easy or too challenging.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
