Unlocking chapter 1 - resistance base on D'Qar

After the prologue ends you will move to the resistance base located on the planet D'Qar. This base is one of the locations that can be explored in between various missions. This base, as well as other ones, contains hidden secrets and additional activities. Those were described thoroughly in separate chapters of this guide.

For the purposes of the main plot you must follow the transparent objects that will lead you to the place where you will be able to start the first chapter. After the stairs leading to the landing bay are destroyed, construct a launcher. Switch your character to BB-8, jump on top of the launcher you've just created and charge it (press the directional buttons or turn the analog stick clockwise).

After BB-8 lands on the upper platform, head to the left side of it and interact with the terminal located there. Complete a short and previously encountered mini-game, thanks to which the upper handle will be unlocked. Switch your character to Poe Dameron and grab onto the said handle. Approach the landing zone to confirm your readiness for the first chapter and select planet Jakku from the galactic map.

Finding the weapons

First things first, examine the area of the village as Poe Dameron. Start by eliminating nearby stormtroopers and approach the crane near blue markings on the ground (it can be seen on the first screenshot above). Press the interaction button to select the Quadnoculars from the inventory and use it to mark the cargo shown on the second screenshot above. Put down the Quadnoculars, grab onto the cargo you've just marked and pull it down.

Approach the bouncing blocks located at the place where the cargo from the crane crashed. Construct a launcher on the right side of the area. Switch to BB-8, jump on the launcher and use it to catapult the robot - it should be able to reach the crane platform. Switch back to Poe Dameron, destroy the launcher and construct a mechanism at the base of the crane, on the left side. Approach the mechanism and interact with it. Rotate it to move the platform with BB-8 on top of it to the left side.

Switch to BB-8 again and approach the terminal that the robot can interact with. Complete a short mini-game - it will open the door on the left side. Head inside, destroy the nearby boxes and interact with bouncing blocks. By doing it, you will be able to construct the upper generator, to which BB-8 would now be able to attach itself (use manual aiming mode). After connecting the robot, use directional buttons / left analog stick to try to keep the pointer in the yellow field. Soon the generator will be charged and the passage to the first weapon storage will be unlocked.

Head to the right side of the village, with the closed door leading to the second weapon storage. Destroy the nearby objects and start building a construction with the help of bouncing blocks. You will be able to construct a new generator. BB-8 needs to charge it using the same method as with the previous one (grab onto it and charge it). Afterwards, use the newly unlocked stairs, enter the building and start demolishing things there. Now begin a new construction. You will build a robot that will be used to access the second weapon storage.

Attack of the First Order

After regaining control over Poe Dameron eliminate the nearby stormtroopers. Afterwards, approach the generator on the right side and interact with it. Construct a cannon and switch to BB-8 - use the robot to charge the cannon you've just constructed. A cut-scene will initiate and you will be moved to the next phase of the battle. A new character will now be unlocked - Dasha Promenti.

Remember to use cover all the time and fire at the enemies by using either Poe Dameron or newly acquired Dasha Promenti. You need to eliminate fifteen stormtroopers. During the encounter the battle bar will gradually fill itself. After it's full, you can use the interaction button to temporarily increase the effectiveness of blasters.

The next part of the battle is a little bit more difficult. First things first, focus on the stormtrooper using the cannon that is protected by a force field. Don't try to shoot the enemy directly. Instead, aim and fire at the explosive boxes located to the left of the cannon.

The second threat is the transport ship that brought reinforcements to the area. You must first determine and locate weak points of the ship. To do so, switch back to Poe Dameron. Head to the right and stand right next to blue signs on the ground, marking a location where you can use the Quadnoculars. Use the item to locate the weak points of the enemy flying ship (as seen on the above screenshot). Afterwards, fire at the weak point you've just located and the enemy ship should soon fall to the ground.

Continue your journey, until you reach a village where you will need to extinguish fire in order to unlock a passage. Start by eliminating enemy stormtroopers. Afterwards, switch to Poe Dameron and grab onto the handle located to the right of the water tower. Use the bouncing blocks to construct a launcher and place BB-8 there. Catapult the robot towards the water tower, causing it to fall over and extinguish fire.

In the next area eliminate a new group of stormtroopers. After securing the area head towards the transport ship. Playing as Poe Dameron grab onto the upper handle. Now construct a terminal and use BB-8 to interact with it. Doing this will cause the ship to fly away, unlocking a new passage. After entering the new area, keep away from the stormtrooper equipped with a flamethrower. Instead, destroy the blocks in the area, approach the bouncing blocks and construct one of the two objects that will allow you to neutralize the stormtroopers.

Irrigation device puzzle

In the next area there's a more complex puzzle. You need to pour a large amount of water on the flames located on the right side, unlocking an exit from the village in the process.

Use Poe Dameron to solve the first part of the puzzle. Start by smashing the blocks located in the central part of the area. Afterwards, approach the bouncing blocks. You will be able to construct three different objects. Start by constructing the object on the left side (as seen on the above screenshot). It will allow the water to flow.

The next step is to bring the water from the large tank to the irrigator. In order to do so, place Poe Dameron on the pressure plate shown on the above screenshot. Stay on it until the irrigation device is completely filled with water.

Destroy the object you've constructed on the left side and interact with bouncing blocks again. This time construct the object in the center - it will be placed at the base of the irrigation device. Switch to BB-8, jump on the newly constructed object and move the water tank to the right side.

Demolish the blocks for the last time and construct the object on the right side. Afterwards, switch to BB-8, attach yourself to the generator and charge it. This will turn the irrigation device on, extinguishing the fire in the process. A cut-scene will initiate, after which the chapter will be completed.
