Navigating the frozen, high-stakes environments of Starkiller Base in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga offers players a wonderful mix of humor and tactical puzzle-solving. The Starkiller Queen mission stands out as a pivotal level where Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Finn must infiltrate the First Order base to rescue Rey. Achieving full completion requires a deep understanding of the environment to locate hidden items and fulfill specific level parameters.
Infiltrating Starkiller Base and Main Walkthrough
The mission begins immediately after a dramatic crash landing on the surface of the icy world. Your primary objective is to capture Captain Phasma to force her into lowering the planetary shields. Players must use specialized character abilities, transitioning between grappling hooks and blaster variants, to solve regional puzzles inside the industrial corridors.
As you advance through the main halls, you will face waves of First Order troops guarding structural checkpoints. Clear the rooms carefully and use the buildable bricks left behind by destroyed turrets to open locked blast doors. For a comprehensive look at the overall gaming experience, you can check out our detailed video guide at the Starkiller Queen level overview channel. Following the primary objective pathway systematically ensures that you reach the final confrontation smoothly without getting trapped in infinite enemy respawn loops.
Locating the Hidden Minikits
Finding all five minikits scattered throughout the level demands a combination of keen exploration and Free Play mode access. The first collectible can be secured early in the level by using a Bounty Hunter character to destroy a golden lock on a nearby wall crate. Another hidden canister requires players to navigate a narrow upper ledge by utilizing a Scavenger glider apparatus from a high platform.
Further into the industrial complex, keep an eye out for small operational targets mounted on the facility walls. Shooting all of these mechanical nodes within the time limit will automatically reward you with another valuable collectible piece. Don't forget to look inside the garbage chutes and storage lockers, as the final minikit requires a Hero class character to interface with a specialized terminal panel.
Mastering the Level Level Challenges
Completing all three specialized level challenges requires a distinct approach to combat and environmental manipulation. The first challenge tasks players with completing the initial corridor sequence without triggering the automated security alarms. This requires executing stealth takedowns on lone Stormtroopers before they can reach the wall-mounted communications consoles.
The second challenge involves finding a creative way to outsmart the guards blocking the main elevator system. Instead of engaging in a direct firefight, look for a hidden ventilation shaft that allows you to sneak above their positions and drop heavy cargo containers on their heads. Finally, the third objective demands that you trap Captain Phasma using internal weapon systems rather than direct attacks during the final phase of the encounter.
