A spin-off of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy allows players to create their own Jedi, train in the Academy under the tutelage of Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn and ultimately choose to follow the path of the Light Side or the Dark Side of the Force. The game is powered by the same version of the Quake III engine used in its predecessor, Jedi Outcast, containing modifications to the Quake code to give a third-person view and new lightsaber effects (Jedi Knight II had these 3rd person effects as well). Players have the ability to construct their own lightsaber by choosing the hilt style and blade color. After completing certain objectives, new saber styles become available including the ability to wield two independent sabers in a style known as Jar'Kai, once used by Anakin Skywalker during the closing fight in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, or the double-bladed lightsaber (also known as a "saber staff").

use them, as their use may result in game crashes, corrupted
graphics, and/or a variety of other issues. Console commands
and errors resulting from the use of console commands and/or
cheats are unsupported.
NUMPAD Keys
-----------
Due to the dual function of the NUMPAD (number pad) Keys, you
may experience problems when trying to enter numbers with the
NUMPAD (trying to type 4, for example, will also bring the
cursor over to the left). Because of this issue, we recommend
limited use of the NUMPAD in Jedi Academy.
################################################################
Welcome, apprentice. I am Luke Skywalker, and it is my pleasure
to inform you that you have been chosen to undergo training in
the ways of the Jedi at the academy on Yavin 4. You are about to
embark on a long and sometimes perilous journey, one in which
you will learn more about yourself than you can possibly imagine.
Here, we will train you in the ways of the Force. You will learn
to defend yourself with a lightsaber. You will also study
diplomacy, history, and more.
Should you complete the training, you will represent the Jedi
Order as a guardian of peace and justice throughout the galaxy.
The path before you is arduous, and not all will be able to
complete the trials that lie ahead. Know also that the path to
the dark side is ever present, and the temptations are many. Be
mindful of your task at hand, and let the light guide you in all
your decisions. Those who are successful will enter a brand new
world within themselves. May the Force be with you.

appearance using the following options:
SPECIES/GENDER: Choose between Human Male, Human Female, Twi'lek
Female, Rodian Male, Zabrak Female or Kel Dor Male.
COLOR: Select an outfit or skin-tone color from nine choices.
HEAD/TORSO/LEGS: Select an appearance for each from a variety of

---------------------
CREATING A LIGHTSABER
---------------------
The lightsaber is the preferred weapon of the Jedi. Before
entering the academy, all students are required to customize their
lightsaber from the available list of options.
SABER TYPE: Choose between Standard, Dual and Double-bladed
lightsabers.
SABER HILTS: Nine lightsaber hilts are available at the start of
the game. Students should choose whichever hilt fits their
personality best.
SABER COLOR: Choose from five lightsaber colors: blue, green,
orange, purple or yellow.
COMBAT STYLE: Choose from Fast, Medium or Strong style, when
available.
After deciding on an appearance and creating a lightsaber, it is
time to enter the academy. Select Begin Game to start.
Press the ESC key to access the in-game menu. From here students
can save their current game, load a previously saved game and
adjust gameplay options. To quit playing, select Exit Game. To
return to the game, select Resume Game. This menu functions the
same way as the game's Main Menu. NOTE: Students may also use the
Quick Save feature from within the game to quickly save their
progress.
All students are given access to a Datapad (TAB key), which serves
as a personal digital assistant, allowing them to review mission
objectives as well as their current arsenal of Force powers,
weapons and combat moves. NOTE: Once completed, the circle next to
the objective will be filled in. Once the Datapad is open, the
mission objectives are displayed in the text window. Students can
also access the following options from the bottom of the Datapad
screen by clicking on them:
MISSION: After clicking on another tab, click this tab to return to
the mission objective information.
WEAPONS: Current weapons are displayed here, including information
on each weapon.
FORCE: Current Force powers are displayed here, including
information on each power's rank.
MOVES: How to execute acrobatic moves, flips, wall runs and other
special maneuvers are described in detail here.
NOTE: Students can click _ or _ on the Weapons and Force tabs to
move between specific items. Click the RESUME button to return to
the game.
---------------
INTERFACE [HUD]
---------------
One of the most valuable tools a student has is the onscreen
interface, or HUD. Some students may recognize this display from
previous journeys. Those who aren't as familiar with the interface
should take a moment to review this lesson.
LEFT STATUS: This display shows a student's shield and health
status. The number and bar appearing in red represent health. Full
health equals 100 units. The number and bar appearing in green
represents the student's personal shield strength. Shields absorb
all energy based attack damage, but do not function against damage
caused by falling or being crushed.
RIGHT STATUS: This display shows the student's current weapon
ammunition with the orange number and status bar. This display is
blank if a student is using a lightsaber or other weapon that does
not have ammunition. The blue status bar and number show the
student's current Force power strength. These bars fade out as
Force powers are used. Once depleted, students will not be able to
use Force powers for a short period of time. The bars will slowly
recharge when Force powers are not being used.
When wielding the lightsaber, the Right Status Display shows the
Lightsaber Combat Style being used in place of the Ammo Indicator.
Colors are Yellow (Medium), Blue (Fast) and Red (Strong).
INTELLIGENT TARGETING RETICLE
-----------------------------
The targeting reticle quickly indicates how Jedi students can
interact with their environment. The reticle changes color as it
is moved over objects; the color scheme is as follows:
RED: Indicates an active enemy or destructible object.
GREEN: Shows friendly entity.
BLUE SWIRL: Indicates that Force powers can affect this object.
WORLD and CHARACTER INTERACTION
-------------------------------
During a mission, students should listen to non-player characters
(NPCs) and interact with important objects in the environment,
like doors, consoles, keypads, elevators and buttons. To do so,
approach an NPC or object and press the Use key (ENTER or R).
NOTE: On some missions students will need to protect allies. For
instance, when working with Chewbacca, his survival will be
critical to completing the mission. Certain allies may lend their
assistance for a short period while they are being protected.
IMPORTANT: Some enemies, generally officers or other important
characters, are carrying keys necessary to progress through a
given mission. Pick up these keys by walking over the body of the
fallen enemy.
In the hands of a novice, the lightsaber is a clumsy tool, as much
a danger to the user as to the enemy. In the hands of a Jedi
Master, the lightsaber is like an artist's brush, both elegant and
powerful. To learn more about how to effectively wield the
lightsaber, see the following lessons.
---------------------
LIGHTSABER TECHNIQUES
---------------------
New students at the academy are only given the choice to use a
Standard lightsaber when beginning their training. As students
develop their skills, other alternatives become available. The
following descriptions discuss lightsaber types.
STANDARD LIGHTSABER
-------------------
The use of a single lightsaber is the preferred fighting style for
almost all Jedi.
DUAL LIGHTSABERS
----------------
Most Jedi have neither the skill nor the inclination to learn
arcane fighting techniques, as a Jedi should not rely on combat to
solve problems. Thus, even though many Jedi know of the dual-
lightsaber style, few ever choose to practice it. If wielded
correctly, a dual-lightsaber combatant is a very dangerous
opponent, as the defender never knows which side of their body to
protect.
DOUBLE-BLADED LIGHTSABER
------------------------
Although the dual lightsaber technique is considered rare, rarer
still is the doublebladed lightsaber technique. Besides the skill
needed to successfully wield such a dangerous weapon, a lightsaber
must first be created. Many have failed trying to build a double-
bladed lightsaber worthy of using in combat.
----------------
LIGHTSABER MOVES

The following moves are available to students. Some moves require
the student to use a particular lightsaber technique.

------------------------
LIGHTSABER COMBAT STYLES
------------------------
All students begin with a standard lightsaber and fight using the
medium style. Over time, students can choose to learn one
additional combat style, either Fast or Strong. Once the new style
is acquired, press the L key to cycle between the two.
NOTE: The following combat styles only apply when using the
standard lightsaber.
MEDIUM LIGHTSABER COMBAT STYLE
------------------------------
This is the classic lightsaber combat style. The attacks are
medium speed and range, inflicting a fair amount of damage. Some
moves even incorporate spins, enabling the user to chain together
up to five attacks. This style is the best for fighting multiple
enemies.
FAST LIGHTSABER COMBAT STYLE
----------------------------
This style is very fast and efficient, though somewhat limited in
range. The short, quick motions allow for many repeated attacks
and quick follow-ups, but the damage inflicted is low due to the
glancing nature of the strikes. This style is best suited for
dispatching enemies while constantly moving.
STRONG LIGHTSABER COMBAT STYLE
------------------------------
This style uses powerful swings to break through defenses. The
attacks have great range and a large windup and follow-through
(leaving you open to counterattacks). If they hit, the enemy is
rarely able to block the attack and may be knocked down. If an
enemy has a lightsaber, it may be knocked aside. It is wise to use
these attacks when fighting a lone lightsaber-wielding enemy.
LIGHTSABER BLOCKS, DEFLECTIONS AND PARRIES
------------------------------------------
Lightsaber attacks may not always be successful. Depending on the
strength of the attack and the skill of the defender, attacks may
be blocked, deflected or even parried. Students may only defend
against an attack when their lightsaber is either in the ready
pose or already in a defensive pose. If an enemy blocks or
deflects an attack, the student will be able to transition to
another attack quickly. If the ensuing attack is weak and the
enemy's defensive skill is high, a parry is possible. In this
case, the defender can knock a student's lightsaber away. As a
result, the attacker will have to recover for a few seconds before
another offensive or defensive lightsaber move is possible.
LIGHTSABER LOCKING
------------------
When two lightsabers lock, the combatants are stuck pushing
against one another. Students must push against the other
combatant by repeatedly tapping Primary Attack (MOUSE 1 button) to
win the lock. The higher the combatant's offensive lightsaber
skill, the harder they can push. If a student loses the lightsaber
lock and is knocked down, press and hold Jump (SPACEBAR) to
quickly get up.
NOTE: If a student has learned Level 3 Force Push, they can
attempt to break a lightsaber lock this way. However, there is no
guarantee of success, and the student may suffer an attack against
them.
---------------
USING THE FORCE
---------------
Most Force powers are not available when training begins. As
students become more attuned to the Force, new powers will be
granted, and existing powers can be strengthened. Once acquired,
students can scroll through an available list by pressing the E
and Q keys, and then pressing the F key to use the chosen power.
Each Force power depletes energy from a student's Force Meter,
which can be seen on the right-hand Status Display. When no Force
powers are being used, the Force Meter recharges. Students, as
well as Jedi, may also bind, or assign, Force powers to a Function
key (or hot key) for immediate use.
NOTE: The use of Force powers may be required to solve puzzles.
FORCE POWER RANKS
-----------------
Each Force power has three ranks, beginning at one, and can then
be strengthened by the student as the game progresses. Generally,
the higher-ranking Force powers function the same as the lower-
level powers, but the effect is usually more pronounced or
depletes less energy from a pupil's Force Meter. Students can
access their Datapad (TAB or M keys) in-game to receive
information on available Force powers, as well as to view each
power's current rank.
------------

character they wish to influence, and then press the appropriate
key. A confirmation sound will be heard and a visual effect will
appear around the enemy if they have been successfully tricked.
Once affected, the character in question will be confused and
ignore the Jedi, if they walk past. However, aggressive action or
loud noises will alert the enemy thereby spoiling the effect. Note
that the Jedi Mind Trick will not work on all enemies.
LEVEL 1: Only one targeted enemy will be tricked for five seconds.
LEVEL 2: Ten seconds of confusion. Jedi cause a distraction that

enemies. Once an enemy is targeted, press and hold Use Force Power
to begin the Force Lightning attack.
LEVEL 1: A quick burst of lighting emanates from the Jedi's hand,
shooting straight forward.
LEVEL 2: Hold down the Force Power key to shoot a continuous beam
of lightning (until Force power is drained).
LEVEL 3: Lightning shoots out in an arc, allowing it to hit
multiple targets at once.
NOTE: Using this Force power after retracting a lightsaber will
allow the Jedi to shoot two continuous beams of lightning from
both hands, and will increase the damage per second.
FORCE GRIP
----------
When used, this Force power allows the Jedi to choke a living
being.
LEVEL 1: Select an enemy using the targeting reticle, and then
choke the enemy until out of Force power or by releasing the

away causes the enemy to drop to the ground.
LEVEL 3: The strongest grip, Jedi can move and look around while
carrying an enemy.
FORCE RAGE

an increase in damage potential, all at the expense of the Jedi's
health. Jedi need some recovery time after Force Rage ends.
LEVEL 1: The Jedi is protected against 50 percent of all damage,
has stronger attacks, and cannot die. The Jedi loses a small
amount of health, and must wait 10 seconds after the rage before
it can be used again. Jedi must have 25 health to use this power.
LEVEL 2: The Jedi is protected against 75 percent of all damage,
attacks 25 percent faster, has stronger attacks, and cannot die.

Jedi's control while in flight, causing the lightsaber to drop to
the ground. To retrieve the lightsaber, press Primary Attack
(MOUSE 1 button: default). If the lightsaber is not located after
an extended period of time, it will automatically return to the
Jedi.
-------
WEAPONS
-------
Jedi seek to resolve encounters without conflict, and prefer using
a lightsaber rather than a blaster. However, there are times when
alternative modes of force are necessary. Students can select
weapons they've acquired by pressing the appropriate keyboard key,
or scrolling through them using the mouse wheel or keyboard.
DL-44 HEAVY BLASTER PISTOL
--------------------------
Slow to fire but incredibly accurate against foes.
Primary Attack: A slow single shot
Alternate Attack: Single-player mode, none. Multiplayer mode, hold
down Alternate Attack (Mouse 2 button) to charge the blaster.
Release the button to unleash a more powerful shot, although it is
less accurate.
Ammo Type: None
E-11 BLASTER RIFLE

that packs a powerful punch, although it is not the most accurate
of weapons.
Primary Attack: Slow, highly damaging shot
Alternate Attack: Rapid-fire burst shots
Ammo Type: Blaster Pack
TENLOSS DISRUPTOR RIFLE
-----------------------
Affecting matter at the molecular level, this rifle rips apart
living material with ease. It is outlawed across the galaxy.
Primary Attack: Single, fast-moving shot with a slow rate of fire.
Alternate Attack: Press to activate the weapon's scope. The longer
the Alternate Attack key/button is held, the further the scope
zooms in. Press and hold the Primary Attack key/button to prepare
a shot. The charge indicator on the bottom of the scope lets the
student know when the weapon is powered to its disintegration
level, which is usually lethal to the target. Release the Primary
Attack key/button to fire the shot. Press the Alternate Attack key
to turn off the scope.
Ammo Type: Power Cell
WOOKIEE BOWCASTER
-----------------
It might look archaic, but this weapon fires powerful bolts of
metal enveloped in energy pockets. A self-cocking attachment
allows creatures weaker than Wookiees to fire them.
Primary Attack: One press fires a single accurate shot. Hold down
to power up the weapon to unleash up to five bolts at once.
Alternate Attack: Unleash a reflective shot that bounces off
surfaces.
Ammo Type: Power Cell
IMPERIAL HEAVY REPEATER WITH CONCUSSION LAUNCHER

A deadly and destructive projectile weapon that fires a rapid
stream of metal bullets, this gun is capable of covering an entire
area with deadly suppressive fire. It also features a unique
Alternate Attack mode.
Primary Attack: Hold down trigger to fire a rapid succession of
bolts.
Alternate Attack: Launches an energy-based explosive from an
undermounted barrel.
Ammo Type: Metallic Bolts
DESTRUCTIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE 2 (DEMP 2) GUN

This gun fires high-powered ion bursts that wipe out electrical
systems. It is very effective against droids and electrical
devices, although the latest version can also cause damage to
living tissue.
Primary Attack: A single shot that stuns humans and damages
droids.
Alternate Attack: Offers three charge levels, each level creates a
larger expanding shell of electromagnetic energy that damages
humanoids, droids and turrets.
Ammo Type: Power Cell
GOLAN ARMS FC-1 FLECHETTE WEAPON
--------------------------------
Firing a blast of metal shards in a wide spread capable of hitting
multiple targets, this weapon is the favorite of the Corporate
Sector Authority's police squads. Be wary of stray shards
ricocheting off surfaces, as they may prove harmful.
Primary Attack: Fire a spread of shots.
Alternate Attack: Launch two mines that bounce off surfaces. Mines
will explode after a 1.5 second duration, or on contact with an
enemy.
Ammo Type: Metallic Bolts
STOUKER CONCUSSION RIFLE
------------------------
Fires a concussive blast with a maximum range of 30 meters,
creating an explosion that spreads about 4 meters in diameter.
Primary Attack: Single shot, large explosive effect. Damages
everything, including the user. Slow firing rate.
Secondary Attack: Fires an even slower beam designed to throw most
targets into the air or hurl them into other enemies.
Ammo Type: Power cell

distance. It bounces, and then explodes after a few seconds.
Alternate Attack: Throws the grenade, which explodes on impact.
Hold down the key/ button to throw the detonator further.
TRIP MINE
---------
Best placed on walls, these trip mines come in triangular-shaped
explosive casings. A laser beam is emitted from the casing and
extends to the nearest parallel surface. If the beam is broken or
the explosive casing fired upon, the mine detonates and damages
anything in close proximity.
Primary Attack: Place the mine and activate the laser beam.
Alternate Attack: Fires a proximity device that auto-detonates
after about four seconds.
DETONATION PACK
---------------
This is a small explosive pack with a remote activator. Students
can place multiple detonation packs, and then explode them from a
distance. Typically used to ambush enemies or blow open sealed
doors.
Primary Attack: Look at surface where you want to place the
detonation pack. If it can't be attached there, the detonation
pack drops to the ground.
Alternate Attack: Detonate all dropped packs with remote trigger.
LIGHTSABER
----------
Selecting the lightsaber switches the game to third-person
perspective.
Primary Attack: Different slashing/swinging attacks depending on
player movement. Note: A student's lightsaber attack is also
influenced by their Lightsaber Combat Style.
Alternate Attack: If Force energy is available, the player can
perform a lightsaber throw. The lightsaber will eventually return
to the player's hand. Remember that this maneuver will drain Force
power.

NEW MULTIPLAYER GAME TYPES IN THE FULL VERSION OF JEDI ACADEMY
--------------------------------------------------------------
SIEGE
-----
The objective of Siege is for an attacking team to complete
multiple objectives in a designated time limit while a defending
team prevents them from doing so. After one match is finished, the
teams switch with the new attacking team trying to complete the
objectives in less time than the first team did. Two matches make
up one game of Siege. Siege maps are set up so that the defending
team has a stronghold or location to defend against an attacking
team. There are multiple objectives on each map, with each
objective getting successively more difficult to capture. Siege
incorporates specific teams and a player-class system. Default
teams are set on a per map basis. Thus, if the map is Hoth, the
teams will be Rebels and Imperials (as opposed to Mercenaries and
Jedi).
------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASSIC MULTIPLAYER GAME TYPES IN THE FULL VERSION OF JEDI ACADEMY
------------------------------------------------------------------
FREE FOR ALL
------------
Best summed up as every person for him or herself, players score
points by eliminating other players, and no one can be considered
an ally. Weapons and equipment are acquired in the field, unless
otherwise specified on the server. Some options include whether to
allow Force powers or not and the maximum Force level available.
DUEL
----
Duel pits two combatants in a small, enclosed arena to battle with
lightsabers. Both competitors start a round with full health,
their lightsabers, and a blaster pistol (server option), and must
face off against one another. Any number of players can
participate in Duel, but only two are in the arena at once.
Remaining players observe until a match is complete; the loser is
put at the end of the observer queue, and the next person in line
is brought in to fight the winner. Once again, both competitors
are fully replenished with health. The winner continues to compete
against new opponents, scoring points until he or she is
eliminated or the match limit is reached.
TEAM FREE FOR ALL
-----------------
Team Free For All pits two Jedi teams against each other in a
battle of supremacy. Each player scores points for eliminating
opponents, but players on the same team can work together to
eliminate tougher foes. All players on a team combine their scores
for a single team score. Weapons and equipment are acquired in the
field, unless otherwise specified on the server. Some options
include whether to allow Force powers or not and the maximum Force
Level available.
CAPTURE THE FLAG
----------------
In Capture The Flag, two teams compete to capture the flag of the
opposing team and return it to their home base. Any member of a
team can pick up the opposing team's flag. When the flag is taken,
all players on the map are alerted to the event. The flag carrier
must then escape from the enemy's territory and return the flag to
their own base to score. If the flag carrier is eliminated, the
flag is dropped at the point of elimination. If a member of the
flag owner's team touches the flag, it is automatically returned
to their base. If a member of the eliminated player's team picks
it up, they can continue to try to return it to their home base.
The flag carrier's own flag must be "home" at its base position
for the carrier to score with the opposing team's flag.
AI BOTS
-------
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy's Bots are computer-controlled
characters meant to simulate human opponents in the multiplayer
game. Players can choose from a number of characters, all of which
have different personalities. Some Bots use their lightsaber and
attack head-on, while others tend to run around and gather every
weapon before launching an offensive. The server administrator can
add Bots to the game at any time, but it's better if all Bots are
added before play begins. In the Server Setup menu, the server
host can open up slots for Bots and set their overall difficulty
level before starting the game. Just like having a lot of human
players on a server, too many Bots will slow down the gameplay-
don't overload the server. To add Bots during a game, press the
ESC key to access the in-game menu, and then click Add Bot to add
Bots one by one and set their difficulty level. NOTE: Bots cannot
be added to Siege games.

GAMEPLAY TIPS
-------------
WISDOM FOR THE SINGLE PLAYER
-----------------------------
SHOOTING ALLIES AND OTHER "FRIENDLIES" IS A BAD IDEA. Allies are
critical to your mission. Check your fire!
EXPERIMENT WITH THE ALTERNATE ATTACKS. Every weapon has an
alternate attack accessible via the Mouse 2 button (default
function key). Being familiar with all the functions of your
weapons can mean the difference between survival and a date with
an interrogator droid.
ONCE YOU MASTER THE FORCE, USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Sometimes
it's the only edge you have to conquer the overwhelming enemy
forces.
REMEMBER: YOU WILL NEED TO USE FORCE POWERS TO PROGRESS THROUGH
THE GAME. Some powers, like Force Push, can be used to manipulate
sliders, buttons and objects in the environment.
IF IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE STUCK WITH NOWHERE TO GO, try pressing
the Use key on consoles, doors, and what may be buttons or levers.
Also, look for air ducts or other passageways that might lead out
of the area.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE COLOR OF YOUR CROSS HAIR. It will tip you off
to how you can interact with the environment. (Allies turn the
cross hairs green.)
THIRD-PERSON VIEW ALLOWS EVASIVE AND ACROBATIC MOVES that you
cannot do in first-person view, though it is slightly harder to
aim in third-person. Use the mode that best suits your style of
play- third-person for maneuverability, first-person for better
precision.
WHEN FIGHTING A SQUAD OF IMPERIALS, TRY TO TAKE OUT THE OFFICERS
and high-ranking stormtroopers first. This may cause remaining
troops to panic or retreat.
USE THE JEDI MIND TRICK OFTEN TO SNEAK THROUGH AN AREA. It allows
you to momentarily avoid enemy detection.
BE SURE TO LOOK UP AND DOWN. Students do not live in a two-
dimensional world, and neither do their enemies.
TOGGLE THE LIGHTSABER OFF (DEFAULT: 1 key) to silence it while
sneaking around.
YOU CAN USE FORCE SENSE to find hidden passages and puzzle items.
DON'T FORGET TO SEARCH officers and other fallen enemies for keys.
Search them by walking over their fallen bodies.
IF YOU ARE HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE ON A TIER MISSION, on the
mission fail screen you can select a new mission to play. You can
always return to that mission later when you have learned new
force powers.
