Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is all about Metroidvania-style levels and unlocking new paths after acquiring abilities – but what happens when the player accidentally leapfrogs this process, and there’s no backup save option or fast travel?
Nothing good, apparently, as a number of players have become so stuck on Dathomir they’ve been forced to restart their entire game.
As experienced by Kotaku’s Kirk Hamilton and others (seemingly across all platforms), while you’re not supposed to jump the bridge gap on Dathomir until late game, it’s actually possible to do so before acquiring the double jump ability. Players who tested the limits (and succeeded) have found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place: unable to progress further through Dathomir, where locked Force abilities are required, and unable to return across the gap without double jump.
