Exploring the vast deserts of Jedha in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor rewards players with unique challenges that test both spatial awareness and platforming prowess. Among the three mysterious ancient ruins scattered across the arid landscape, the Path of Restoration stands out as a clever, multi-tiered environmental puzzle. Completing this optional destination is highly recommended for completionists looking to maximize Cal Kestis' capabilities before facing tougher late-game challenges.
Finding the Desert Ridge Ruins
To begin this architectural trial, you must first navigate to the proper location nestled within the cliffs of the Desert Ridge region. The most straightforward path starts from the Desert Ridge Meditation Point, where you can hop onto a mount and head down the canyon slope until the structure comes into view. Alternatively, players exploring near the Arid Flats can advance up the canyon edge, though this route features a few more hostile Imperial encounters along the way.
Upon arrival, look for a climbable rock face along the canyon side to initiate your ascent toward the main puzzle entrance. Reaching the upper platforms brings you face-to-face with a handful of patrolling Stormtroopers who must be cleared out before you can safely focus on manipulating the machinery. Once the immediate threats are taken care of, the environment reveals a massive wall featuring tracks and rolling metallic spheres.
Manipulating the Ancient Spheres
The core logic of the area revolves around shifting track segments by moving external spheres, which ultimately clears a path for the primary sphere located on the main puzzle wall. Start by traversing across the left-hand gaps using a combination of double jumps and wall runs to reach a secondary track that houses a single sphere. Using a Force Push on this initial orb will instantly slide a hidden track segment across the canyon into a diagonal alignment.
With the diagonal pathway established, drop back down and return to the main platform where the primary sphere awaits your input. Apply your Force abilities to send this main orb rolling upward across the newly connected diagonal track, which dynamically lowers a nearby rock ridge to reveal a hidden cave entrance. This shifting architecture allows Cal to climb higher along the structure and enter the upper chamber of the ruins.
Reaching the Upper Chambers
After scaling the newly lowered ridge, head into the cave opening where a third hidden sphere sits nestled on an internal track. Forcing this interior orb into place alters another section of the outer wall, filling a crucial vertical gap that previously blocked the main puzzle path. Exit the cave and climb toward the top platform using the available zipline to prepare for the final stage of the puzzle sequence.
Before finishing the trial, you will need to retrace your steps slightly to ensure the primary track resets into a straight alignment rather than a diagonal one. Return to the left platform, pull the secondary sphere back to its starting spot, and then return to the main wall to push the primary sphere all the way to the top of the vertical track. Once the sphere rests in its final slot, a secret chamber down the stairs will open, granting you a valuable Perk Slot upgrade to enhance your combat efficiency.
