Chapter 5: Dathomir - Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order Guide - IGN (2024)

Dathomir is a planet that you can begin to explore as early as Chapter 2 in Star Wars Fallen Order, but you cannot explore it in full until you finish up events in Kashyyyk. Now, you'll go to to find Kujat's Tomb.

Fallen Order Chapter 5: Dathomir Walkthrough

If you visited Dathomir already to get the Doubled-Bladed Lightsaber early, some of this information will not be new to you. Skip to the area where you're knocked into the Swamp.

You'll begin by climbing for a bit until you reach the first area. There's a big monster and a big area to explore, so let's ignore the beast and look around. If you don't want to explore, head to the area on the map:

And Wall Run up. Keep on heading for higher ground, and eventually you'll reach the top of the area, along with a rope you can cut for a shortcut back down.

Activate the shortcut, then keep going to meet the Nightsister. She's not particularly happy to meet you, though, and she'll send the Nightbrothers after you. Nightbrothers are essentially reskinned Stormtroopers, so you don't have to do anything different to defeat them.

The door will be locked, so continue the other way.

Enemies will be hiding behind doorways a lot on Dathomir, so be ready at all times.

Defeat the next set of Night brothers, then head up the stairs. There will be another Nightbrother in the narrow corridor, making it hard to dodge him. Be careful!

Keep making your way forward, cutting through the Nightbrothers. At one point you'll reach an area with a campfire that looks like a dead end, but you can Wall Run and jump for the branch to keep going.

Finally, you'll jump down and find a door to open for a shortcut, as well as a fork in the road.

If you haven't explored Dathomir already, you can head down for a workbench, where you'll get a new lightsaber sleeve. There is also a Life Essence at the end of the path.

When you're ready, head back to the fork and jump across, talking to the Wanderer about the Nightsister and the ruins in the area. Once the cutscene is done, jump across the gap (it requires the Jedi Flip) and keep going until Cal mentions needing equipment to climb the wall.

There's no time to find any, though, as a Nightbrother throws a huge rock down on the bridge, destroying it with you on it. Get through the sliding bit. The Nightbrother said this was a swamp but we're not actually there yet.

Detour Down to the Swamp

Video Guide - Part 22

Climb up the vine and the rope, and you'll come across a Meditation Point. The door directly ahead is locked, so insead turn the other way go to the unexplored path on the map.

You'll come across the Nightsister again, and this time she'll make undead sisters spawn from the fleshy bulbs above you. Yikes. Take them out (be careful, they're pretty fast), then Pull on the nearby gate to be able to move forward.

The undead sisters can lock you into a grapple, and it'll allow other enemies to take some potshots on you. Make sure to dodge their red attack!

Keep heading along the path, killing the Nightsisters (again), and when you're able to, walk along the branches that are sticking out of the cliff. When you've jumped across to the second branch, Pull at the gate so you can get into the tilted house.

When you're on the second floor of the house, you'll need to Wall Run to make it to the far platform. In the next area, you can take a life to a shortcut and a chest. Do so, then head back up. Have BD-1 scan the wall paintings, and you'll have to fight more Nightbrothers.

In the next area, after killing the enemies, take the higher path. When you get to the gate, Push it down, then Wall Run on it while it's pushed up. With that, you'll be at another Meditation Point.

In this next section, move forward quickly so you don't take too much damage from the ranged enemies, then drop down into the next area. You'll need to fight a Lesser Nydak, which at this point in the game is a relatively normal enemy.

If you parry a lot, you'll throw the beast off balance.

When the Lesser Nydak is dead, head into the small area and spot the cage. Push it until you're back into the main area, and then Push it against the wall so you can climb out.

Push through the weakened wall, when squeeze through the small area. Now you'll be at the Nightbrothers' village, but you won't go busting through their home just yet.

Pull the bridge down, and the Nightbrothers will close the gates and start raining bullets down on you. Sprint across the bridge, then hang a hard left to a cave. Slide down, and you'll end up in the actual swamp.

Navigating the Swamp of Sacrifice

Video Guide - Part 23

You'll have to walk around a bit to find the semi-hidden cave up to higher ground where there's a Meditation Point. Keep moving, and eventually the only way to go is to jump down.

This is a kind of big area. The farthest path from where you started will have a chest and something for BD-1 to scan. The middle path will have another chest, and a Force Echo.

When you're ready, climb up the flora and cross the area with the branch. Continue on the high road until you can't anymore, and drop down for a chest and the way forward.

Push the rock and climb on up to see a large creature. Thankfully it's not coming to mess with you... yet. Kill the Nightbrothers, then move to the left. You'll come across more undead sisters, so kill them too and cut the nearby rope for a shortcut.

Head into the cave for a Meditation Point. Make sure to rest up, as that giant creature from earlier is coming for a visit.

Tips for Defeating Gorgara

Gorgara is huge, and you'll need to mainly slash its legs for dealing damage. It's pretty fast for its size, so be careful and use Slow to get in safely. Occasionally Gorgara will sly up and send wind blasts your way, so dodge those. When it comes down Gorgara will also cause ground tremors, which you'll need to flip over.

Eventually, Gorgara will leave at about a quarter health. You'll be able to now examine the Nightbrother corpse, and get a new upgrade--the Climbing Gloves.

Getting to the Tomb of Kujet

Video Guide - Part 24

With the Climbing Gloves, not only can you climb faster, but you can also climb surfaces you couldn't before. Use this to your advantage to climb up the wall you're standing next to.

Squeeze through the next area, and you'll finally be back on the upper levels of Dathomir. Walk along the branches for a Meditation Point, then look to the left and climb up the wall.

Don't do jump climbs anymore--with the Climbing Gloves it's faster to not do that.

But there's a problem--Gorgara is back! Don't stop climbing, and quickly get to the top of the cliff. It doesn't matter much, though, as Gorgara will pick you up. Cal will stab Gorgara enough to drop him, and it'll begin a sequence of falling through the air and trying to land on the beast's back.

Do this three times, and eventually Gorgara will crash, killing it but keeping you intact. Turn to the right and head up the stairs, then climb the wall. Defeat the Nightbrothers in your way, when Pull at each gate.

You'll need to very quickly Wall Run along the gates to get across, then Jedi Flip to clear the next jump. Finally, climb up, and then climb down and hang from the branch to sneak into the Nightbrother's village.

At the fork, head to the left for a chest and a Force Echo, then go right and squeeze through the small passage. Walk along the branch and climb up to a Meditation Point.

You're now in the village proper. Make your way to the large blue gate at the other side of the village. The Nightbrothers will close the gate, but you'll have another way to get inside.

Nearby, there's a cage, similar to the one from earlier. Push it over to the gate, then Flip up to grab a handhold and pull yourself up into the window.

Keep heading along the passage, and eventually you'll need to balance on some planks to go forward. Do so, and cut the nearby rope for a shortcut. Then, continue a bit and find a different rope to climb, and you'll see the Mantis! You're finally just about back to where you've started, which means Kujet's Tomb is within reach.

Turn to the left and squeeze through the passage, and you'll find a door to open for a shortcut back to the area near where you met the Wanderer. He's not there anymore, But go ahead and Flip over the pit and climb the wall you weren't able to before.

Head into Kujet's Tomb and head to the door inside. You won't be able to get in, but a Meditation Point will appear right behind you. Meditate for a flashback sequence on the fateful day Order 66 was enacted.

Memory - Order 66

The flashback sequence is a little long, but it's straightfoward. Complete your training, and then escape from the ship!

After the sequence, you'll be face to face with Cal's old master. Take a few swipes at him, but you won't be able to hurt him. Eventually, Cal will snap out of his trance, but not before breaking his lightsaber. Now defenseless, the only thing you can do is head out of the tomb, defeated.

After you head out, you'll meet the Wanderer again, who will reveals his true identity--Taron Malicos, former Jedi. He attempts to get Cal to help him with what could only being something nafarious, but the Nightsister intervenes, less than pleased with Malicos betraying her.

She sends the undead sisters after the both of you, but without a lightsaber, you can't defend yourself. Make a mad dash for the Mantis, dodging the zombies whenever they try to grab you.

Once back on the Mantis and away from the immediate danger, Cal and Cere will have a talk about what to do next. It's time to head to Ilum and the Jedi Temple, so Cal can repair his lightsaber.
