After a droid's RPG blast spooked a large creature, I attempted a wall run but was eventually taken down. I used a shortcut to return to the meditation point before successfully defeating the droid and a Bedlam Raider. I then ended up stuck at a frustrating dead end for a moment.
After activating the shortcut, I tried the other way to see what else was hidden in this area. I noticed a droid suddenly shot a hill with an RPG, which really spooked something big.
I tried a wall run along the side of the cliff and jumped on the Bedlam Raider standing there to take him down quickly. While I was in the air, the droid started shooting at me with its blaster.
After taking down the Bedlam Raider, I went for the droid with my lightsaber ready for a strike. However, it already overpowered me with a quick burst of fire and took me down before I could close the distance.
I had to run a long way to get back to this place from my last save point. This time I decided to try the shortcut I had found earlier, which took me directly back to the meditation point. I just came back through the door, feeling glad that I didn't have to fight through all the smaller enemies again to reach my objective.
I realized that the shortcut was only for this specific purpose, so I could get back to this place quickly if I died there. But I didn't fully understand the layout at first, so I took the long way around again.
This time, I didn't give that droid the same opportunity to take me down like it did before. Right after taking down the Bedlam Raider with a swift strike, I moved quickly and sliced the droid into two pieces. It fell apart in a shower of sparks, and I felt much more confident as I cleared the immediate threat.
I moved forward and had to jump into this tar area that felt like it was pulling me down with a strange force. I had to be very quick in jumping onto that steel surface to avoid drowning there.
From there, I could interact with two bombs that were getting blown up once I was pulling them up from the tar. It was a strange mechanism because the bombs were getting regenerated right away after every explosion. I tried to time my movements with the blasts, but the constant noise and fire made it very difficult to focus on the goal.
I kept trying hard to move out of this situation, but I was just kind of lost there in the middle of the machinery. I started trying everything I could, including different jumps and Force powers, but still it looked like a dead end for me.
That's all for this session. More moments coming soon and thanks for checking it out.
