Cheats & Secrets
Overview
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order does not contain traditional cheat codes, console commands, or developer input sequences. There are no unlockable god modes, infinite health, or item spawning. The game relies on skill-based progression with a fixed difficulty curve. However, the game is rich with developer-intended secrets, Easter eggs, and hidden areas that reward exploration and keen observation. This guide catalogues all legitimate hidden content.

Easter Eggs
| Easter Egg | Location | How to Trigger / Description |
|---|---|---|
| Han Solo in Carbonite | Zeffo – inside a hidden chamber in the Tomb of Miktrull (requires Force Push upgrade). | After using Force Push to break the crackable wall, climb through the tunnel. In a small alcove, you’ll find a block of carbonite with a silhouette resembling Han Solo. Interact for a subtle nod. |
| BD-1’s Hidden Dance | Bogano – near the first Phonogram panel. | Equip the Holo-Tactics cosmetic for BD-1, then approach the Phonogram panel. BD-1 will occasionally perform a short dance animation when you interact with the panel. |
| The Force Awakens Reference | Kashyyyk – in the Origin Tree area. | Look for a small doll resembling a Porg (from The Force Awakens) wedged between roots. It can only be spotted with BD-1’s scanner (hold scan button near the tree). |
| Respawn Logo Easter Egg | Zeffo – in the area with the large fan blades (after gaining Push). | Break the wooden crate near the fan control panel. Inside is a card with the Respawn Entertainment logo. Scanning it plays a tiny jingle. |
| “I’ve Got a Bad Feeling About This” | Dathomir – near the Swamp of Sacrifice. | When Cal climbs the giant bone structure, there is a small nook with a datapad containing the exact phrase: “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” |
| Greez’s Secret Tattoo | Dathomir – on the Mantis ship after completing the story. | Speak to Greez while wearing the Outlaw Drifter poncho. He’ll remark on Cal’s outfit and reveal a brief story about his own past. This is a hidden dialogue trigger. |
| Star Wars Rebels Connection | Bogano – near the Vault entrance. | Scan the Mural on the wall before entering the final vault. It shows the Loth-Wolf, a creature from Star Wars Rebels. |
Hidden Areas
| Area | Planet | Access Requirements | Contents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swamp of Sacrifice | Dathomir | Requires Wall Run from Dathomir’s main path where you find the Infinite Wall Run upgrade. | Contains a Priorite Shard (used for lightsaber customization) and a Force Echo revealing lore about a failed Nightbrother experiment. |
| The Abandoned Mine | Kashyyyk | Requires Power Lift to reach the upper section near the Imperial Refinery. | Holds a Stim Canister upgrade for BD-1 and a Lightsaber Switch cosmetic. |
| Secluded Cave | Zeffo | After obtaining Double Jump (from Dathomir), return to Zeffo’s ice cave near the first Tomb. Use double jump to reach a high ledge. | Contains a Lightsaber Sleeve and a Databank entry on Zeffo’s fauna. |
| The Saw-tooth Caverns | Zeffo | Reachable after getting Force Pull; pull down the hanging cart in the Weather Vane area. | Contains BD-1’s Sonar upgrade (not missable but often overlooked). |
| Nydak Spawn Den | Bogano | After acquiring Air Dash (Kashyyyk), return to Bogano and find the collapsed tunnel near the Abandoned Workshop. | Inside is a Lightsaber Material (plastic texture) and a Force Echo related to a failed escape attempt. |
Developer-Intended Secrets
1. Meditation Training (Post-Game Content)
- After completing the main story, a new Meditation option appears on the Mantis holotable. This unlocks Battle Grid combat challenges against waves of enemies. You can also re-fight bosses (Second Sister, Malicos, Taron Malicos, Ninth Sister, and Oggdo Bogdo). This is the closest the game has to a “New Game+” or cheat mode.
2. Secret Tomb of Eilram (Alternate Route)
- On Zeffo, near the Ice Caves, there is a force-echo wall that requires Force Push Level 2 to open. Behind it is a hidden shrine containing a Lightsaber Emitter and a databank entry about ancient Zeffo culture. The wall is easily missed because it’s not marked on any map.
3. BD-1’s Secret Scan
- On each planet there is one object that can be scanned by BD-1 that yields a unique databank entry with developer commentary (e.g., “This wall took three artists to build”). These are considered Easter eggs. Locations:
- Bogano: The crashed ship near the starting area.
- Zeffo: The giant statue head near the Tomb of Eilram.
- Kashyyyk: The broken AT-AT at the Shadowlands.
- Dathomir: The skull of the giant beast in the Swamp of Sacrifice.
4. Phonogram Hidden Message
- On Dathomir, there is a Phonogram (collectible item) in the Swamp of Sacrifice that, when played, emits a series of beeps. These beeps translate to a numeric code. Inputting that code at the Phonogram panel on the Mantis unlocks a BD-1 skin called “Classic.” The code is 247-536-198 (found via community solution).

Exploit-Safe Secrets & Advanced Techniques
These are intended by developers and are considered legitimate strategies, not glitches.
- Force Slow on Bolts: While timed puzzles (like the spinning laser grid) can be cheesed by using Force Slow on projectiles. This is intentional and part of the skill set.
- Oggdo Bogdo Instant Kill: In the Bogano arena, you can lure the Oggdo Bogdo boss near the mouth of the giant skeleton. It can be killed instantly by forcing it into the gap using Force Push. This is a designed environmental kill.
- Double Jump Cancel: Use double jump followed quickly by Air Dash (after upgrading) to extend jump range. This is essential for reaching many hidden areas.
- Parry Window Exploit: Enemies with red-glowing attacks can be interrupted by throwing your lightsaber (after unlocking Lightsaber Throw). This stuns them, allowing a free hit.

Unlockable Cosmetics from Secrets
| Cosmetic | Source | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|
| Inquisitor Cal (Poncho) | Complete all Meditation Training challenges on Grandmaster difficulty. | Not a cheat, but a reward for 100% completion. |
| Classic BD-1 Skin | The Dathomir Phonogram puzzle. | Input the code at the Mantis phonogram panel. |
| Adventure Lightsaber (Emitter) | Found in the Secret Tomb of Eilram on Zeffo. | Requires Force Push Level 2 and searching for the hidden wall. |
| Power Cord (Lightsaber Sleeve) | The Secluded Cave on Zeffo (requires Double Jump). | Navigate the ice platforms to reach the high ledge. |
Important Notes
- No console commands exist on any platform (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Stadia). The game has no debug menu or developer console accessible to players.
- Achievements/Trophies are not hidden; all are visible in the game menu. The hardest requires beating the game on Grandmaster difficulty and completing all Force Echos.
- Exploit-safe means these are intended game mechanics, not glitches. Using them will not corrupt saves or disable achievements.
- All hidden content is available in current versions (including the January 2024 patch). No content has been removed.
