Star Wars Jedi: Survivor challenges players with intense Force Tear trials, and Fractured Endurance stands out as a thrilling combat gauntlet on the Shattered Moon. This guide provides a complete roadmap to locate the tear, navigate hazards, and triumph over waves of enemies for valuable rewards.

Understanding Force Tears in Jedi Survivor

Force Tears are special environmental puzzles scattered across planets, offering skill points and progress toward achievements like Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Fractured Endurance tests endurance against 150 B1 Battle Droids, evolving from melee clashes to ranged assaults with blasters and grenades.

Access the Shattered Moon via your ship after unlocking it in the story. Head to the Automated Forge or Assembly Staging meditation point for the optimal starting position.

  • From Automated Forge, proceed down the main hallway and ascend the stairs on the right, watching for ambushing Bedlam Raiders in shadowed corners.
  • Enter a droid-filled room; retreat to the hallway and deploy Force Push to clear B1s instantly before advancing.
  • Turn right post-room, eliminate the Managuard, then Force Pull the large mechanism leftward.
  • Wall run and jump to metal grates; time your climb to evade cycling electricity.
  • Reach the upper ledge, wall run rightward, then swing via pole to the final chamber housing the tear.

Alternatively, from Abandoned Foundry’s Assembly Staging, solve a brief parkour sequence: dodge electrified walls, wall-walk across, cling to metal tubes while avoiding fire vents, and turn the corner to the tear.

Challenge Mechanics: Surviving the Droid Horde

Interact with the glowing tear to enter a healed state with full stims and Force meter. The arena fills with B1 Battle Droids in escalating waves: initial melee fighters, followed by blaster wielders and grenade throwers. Goal: Eliminate all 150 without dying.

B1s are fragile, shattering from one solid hit, but their numbers overwhelm through sheer volume.

Optimal Stances and Lightsaber Choices

  • Double-Bladed Stance: Excels in crowd control, spinning through clusters efficiently.
  • Dual Wield: Ideal for multi-directional threats, allowing quick swaps to parry incoming fire.
  • Avoid single-blade early; save for precise deflections later.

Force Powers: Your Key to Victory

Force Push reigns supreme. A charged version unleashes a wide cone, vaporizing dozens at once.

  • Target grenade droids first; push explosives back into crowds for chain explosions.
  • Radial or Howling Push variants instantly obliterate groups.
  • Force Pull clusters for lightsaber finishes.

Wave-by-Wave Battle Strategy

Wave 1: Melee Onslaught

Melee B1s charge en masse. Activate double-bladed stance and rotate, carving paths. Use arena edges to funnel them.

Wave 2: Blaster Introduction

Droids spawn with ranged weapons. Retreat to create distance, perfecting deflections to one-shot shooters. Charged Push clears flanks.

Wave 3: Grenade Chaos

Grenades arc in; prioritize pushers. Deflect bolts while evading blasts. Push grenades into dense packs for massive clears.

Maintain mobility: dash, roll, and climb arena ledges to reset positioning. Monitor health; stims regenerate inside the tear.

Tips for Success on Higher Difficulties

On Jedi Knight or above, droid aggression spikes. Practice deflection timing—blaster bolts return lethal.

  • Upgrade Force Push radius via skill tree.
  • Equip Prone stance for evasion if overwhelmed.
  • Record attempts to analyze mistakes.

Common pitfalls: Standing still during grenades, ignoring spawns behind you, Force depletion from spam.

Rewards and Progression Impact

Completion grants a full skill point, bolstering Cal’s abilities. Contributes to Blood, Sweat, and Tears achievement for all Force Tears.
