Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – How to unlock all lightsaber stands

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor improves on the formula introduced by its predecessor, Jedi: Fallen Order, in pretty much every way possible. From exploring the many different planets in the game to taking down hordes of Stormtroopers, droids and other dangerous creatures, everything is just a lot more fun to do.

Combat in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was not only improved over its predecessor, but vastly expanded with new abilities that will make players feel even more like a real Jedi knight. Among the features that extended the Souls series-inspired battle system to the franchise are different Lightsaber Stances that determine Cal's abilities. Here's how to unlock all five.

How to unlock all lightsaber stands

Making a glorious return from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Single and Double-Sided Stances are automatically unlocked at the very start of the game. After Cal's fake capture, which allowed him and his group to infiltrate Coruscant to steal vital data from an Imperial senator, the Jedi will finally get their lightsaber back. Once he does, you can switch between the balanced single stance, a balanced stance useful in a variety of situations, and the crowd-controlling double-sided stance by pressing left and right on the directional button.

Dual Wield Stance is also automatically unlocked at the end of the starting sequence on Coruscant. After successfully retrieving the data Cal and his group were looking for, the Jedi must face a familiar face, the Ninth Imperial Inquisitor. After draining over two-thirds of the enemy's health, a cutscene will play showing Cal splitting his lightsaber to better quell the Inquisitor's rage. After the Inquisitor is defeated, the offense-focused stance will be permanently unlocked.

The Blade and Blaster Stance is the stance in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor that feels significantly less Jedi-like than any other, as it's rare to see a member of the esteemed order fighting with a Blaster pistol. To unlock this stance which gives Cal great versatility for both melee and ranged combat, you must reach the third planet in the game, Jedha. After a few cutscenes, where you'll be reacquainted with some familiar faces, you'll arrive at Bode's hideout, where he'll give one of his blasters to Cal, unlocking the stance permanently.

The devastating but slow Crossguard Stance is the final Lightsaber Stance unlockable in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Right after reaching the hideout on Jedha, you must choose to go to the Shattered Moon of Koboh. Once in the lab, continue through the main objectives until you have to fight the mighty Dyra Thorne. After the enemy is taken down, Cal will select his Crossguard Lightsaber to modify his own. Once the mods are complete, fight some enemies with the new Crossguard Stance, unlocking it permanently after defeating them all.

How to equip lightsaber stands

While Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has five different Lightsaber Stances, it is not possible to switch between all five at any time, as it is only possible to assign two of them to the left and right buttons on the directional pad. You can switch the equipped lightsaber positions at any workbench or meditation point.
