Aftermath of a Hero's Death in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
On this page of the game guide Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order we will tell you what happens after the death of the protagonist. Contrary to appearances, this is a very important element of the game and this is due to the risk of losing progress in the context of the development of a controlled character.
Unfortunately, causing the death of the main character in the game has two serious negative consequences:
- You will lose mission progress and be returned to the last meditation point visited. If it's been a long time since you visited the meditation point, you may be forced to repeat a longer segment of the game. It's worth stopping regularly at these points, even if it meant having to deal with revived enemies again.
- You will lose experience points accumulated for advancing to the next level. Below you will find more information about this.
The second of the above punishments is harder to understand. The loss only applies to the XP collected for the next skill. It's about the progress bar that appears in the upper right corner of the screen - as shown in the picture above.
You don't have to worry about losing spent skill points, as they are not lost (in the example from our picture, this is 1 "saved" skill point). The death debuff thus "only" slows down your progress towards a higher experience level.
XP lost at the time of death can be recovered. You need to return to the place where you died and attack the enemy / monster that killed the main character. Just one successful attack on Cal's killer is enough to get back the lost experience points. The health and strength of the hero will also be restored.
It's worth noting that you don't have to defeat the enemy that killed you before. If, for example, it's a boss that was too strong for you, you can simply quickly retreat after recovering lost experience points and come back here later in the game.
The situation is somewhat different if the main character was not killed by the enemy, but died as a result of falling into an abyss or into a tank with a poisonous substance. In such a situation, look around for a pillar of light in the immediate vicinity of where you died - an example is shown in the attached picture. Interacting with a pillar will have the same effect. You will be able to return XP and restore health and power bars.
