There’s a secret at the center of the vast desert of Jedha in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. During your second visit the planet, you’ll explore a region called the Arid Flats. This huge open-ended area is full of secrets, but the most important is right in the center — a hidden crypt called the Wayfinder’s Tomb. Completing this secret quest will earn you permanent upgrades, a cool unique customization item, and another map upgrade that shows the locations for every treasure. If you’re aiming for 100% completion, then you won’t want to miss this.

How To Unlock The Wayfinder’s Tomb
The Wayfinder’s Tomb is found in the center of the Arid Flats region, on a high mesa that can only be reached after unlocking Force Dash and the Super Grapple allowing Cal Kestis to launch himself from flying drones. There’s a secret in the center of the Wayfinder’s Tomb — you’ll see three stone altars. Each one faces a different ‘Path of’ trial.
How To Solve The Path of Persistence
From the Arid Flats, go right until you reach a huge gap. Use a Spammel to reach the high ledge, then wall-jump to reach the zipline. Ride it to reach the large area.
- How To Solve: To complete this area, Cal must push a metal orb up the track. To do that, reach the stone archway and enter the interior chamber. There’s a resting stormtrooper inside. Push the metal orb to move the roch wall into position. Next, return to the previous metal ball and push it. Now it can reach the top of the plateau.
- With the orb pushed up, return to the cave and reset the metal orb so the interior cave wall retracts. Now you can wall-run and wall-jump up to the top. At the top, defeat the Imperials and push the metal orb to activate something in the far distance.
After completing the puzzle, stones will move nearby and reveal a hidden Essence Upgrade that gives you a permanent Perk Slot Upgrade.
- Essence: Perk Slot Upgrade – Found next to the altar device at the top of the mesa. Don’t miss this! It only appears after activating the metal orb switch.
- Shortcut: Activate the zipliner launcher to the right as you enter through the interior archway.
- Treasure: Jedha Scroll – In the chamber with the single resting Stormtrooper.
- Chest: Industrial BD-1 – Return to the Path of Persistence and use the floating drone grapple point to reach a high ledge. You’ll find this new costume for BD-1.
How To Solve The Path of Restoration
This is located (relatively) close to the Desert Ridge Meditation Point. This trial is built into the rock canyon. You’ll need Force Dash to cross the large gaps in the rocky platforms. Follow the platforms up, dealing with the Stormtroopers along the way. Past two troopers, you’ll find a metal orb on a track. We need to get the metal orb to the top of the mesa.
- How To Solve: From the first orb, turn around and run along the wall to find another Eno Cordova essence. Push the second metal orb (near the essence) to change the stone track direction. Instead of going up it goes down. Push the first metal orb (main track) so it goes down and right, lowering another rock wall covered in soft rock. Climb up the soft rock wall to reach an interior chamber.
- Inside the chamber underneath the main altar, there’s a third metal orb. Push it to complete the track leading up. Go back to the first metal orb on the main track, and push it left and then right (after resetting the second metal orb switch) to reach the top of the trial.
At the top, push the metal orb one final time to lock the mechanism into place and collect your bonus Perk Slot Upgrade.
- Essence: Perk Slot Upgrade
- Chest: Wanderer Material – Found on the mesa near the Cordova Force Essence. The chest is by the lower end of the zipline leading to the top of the Path of Restoration.
How To Solve The Path of Conviction
Found in the far north of the Arid Flats. Only accessible after unlocking the upgraded grapple allowing you to launch off of flying drones. Launch Cal up into the trial area where you’ll encounter a group of Scout Troopers. Use the nearby grapple point to climb the soft rock and reach the top of the trial mesa. Another group of Scout Troopers will appear from a dropship.
At the top, we’ll need to solve another metal orb puzzle. We need to get the metal ball to the top. Cut the shortcut rope to the left of the altar, then slide down. You’ll spot the metal grooves required — and the metal orb itself. But a section of the rock wall is missing, so the orb can’t reach its destination.
- How To Solve: Launch Cal from the nearby flying drone and look up. There’s a metal orb along a trench-like groove. Moving it causes a section of the wall to move. There are two metal orb ‘switches’ — moving the main orb (the one we need to get to the top) to the lower track causes a section of rock to extend to the right. Next, we need to figure out the correct order. Let’s start by looking at the device from afar.
- Push the Left Orb, push the Center Orb to the right (lower track) to extend the platform on the right.
- Once that’s setup, we can solve the puzzle.
- Left, Right, Center (lower track) — use Force Push / Pull on each to solve the puzzle.
- NOTE: The two of the switches are on timers, so you need to move fast.
Solve the puzzle and push the orb into the statue to complete the trial and earn a Perk Slot Upgrade.
- Essence: Perk Slot Upgrade
- Chest: Wood Weapon Material – Past the first Scout Troopers, drop
- Treasure: Jedha Scroll – On the top of the trial mesa, go to the long cliffside ledge that stretches far from the center of the mesa.
Unlocking The Wayfinder’s Tomb
When the Path of Persistence, Path of Restoration and Path of Conviction are complete, return to the Wayfinder’s Tomb. Stand on the central platform to lower down into a chamber with three treasures.
- Databank: The Final Lesson
- Lightsaber: Eno Cordova’s Lightsaber
- Map Upgrade: Treasures
And that’s what you get for solving the giant optional puzzle on Jedha. Not half bad for completionists looking to make 100%-ing each area way easier.
