Since the destruction ofthe second DEATH STAR, theRebel Alliance has begun thedifficult process of buildingthe New Republic.Seizing the opportunity forcontrol of the galaxy, newrival armies arise. The mostdangerous of these are theDARK JEDI. Their leader,JEREC, seeks the legendaryVALLEY OF THE JEDI.Within this lost battlegroundhe will find untold power todestroy peace and justice inthe galaxy....Star Wars: Jedi Knight – Dark Forces II (1997) was the first game of the Dark Forces Saga to feature first-person lightsaber battles. This story takes place after the events of the original trilogy. Here, Kyle learns of his Force potential and receives his own lightsaber, once owned by a Jedi Master named Rahn, whose spirit occasionally guides him in dreams and visions. He follows a lead to the Dark Jedi Jerec, with the intent to avenge his father's murder. Jerec seeks for a mysterious Valley of the Jedi that legend tells has monumental power, providing additional incentive to stop him. Part of the feature is a light side/dark side progression, where your actions (kill innocents or protect them) and choices and uses of Force power dictate which side you will lean to. There are two endings, light side and dark side. Word of God (and future games) say that the light side ending is Canon. Live-action cutscenes moved the plot along, elevating the game to an almost movie-like experience (albeit with daytime-soap-opera-level acting).The game received an Expansion Pack in 1998, Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith, telling some of Kyle's story after he has become a full Jedi Knight. The player soon takes control of Kyle's "reciprocal apprentice" (as in, they're teaching each other), Mara Jade (who originated in The Thrawn Trilogy and married Luke Skywalker in the later Star Wars Legends canon), as Kyle goes off to find what may be the remnants of a Sith temple. He disappears from all contact, however, and Mara has to track him down, only to discover him skirting dangerously close to the dark side. After the events of this game, Kyle swears off the life of a Jedi and returns to being a hired mercenary (though now one working for the New Republic, at least). | |

Black and White Magic: Kyle becomes The Red Mage (although he can use all the available powers) because the plot requires him to do a quick Face–Heel Turn, only to be redeemed by Mara. Mara is the same, since she was formerly on the Dark Side as well. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The tie-in short stories (and assorted materials) expanded considerably on the characterization of the villains, for example by making Jerec a Wicked Cultured former academic. They also explain why Gorc and Pic are called "twins" (a fact that confuses Rahn in-game) and "the Brothers of the Sith", since they don't look alike and aren't actually Sith but Dark Jedi (short version, they were mutated from their original forms via Sith alchemy, causing them to share DNA among other changes, by Lord Cronal — a Prophet of the Dark Side under Emperor Palpatine). | |

Soft Water: Mostly played straight save for at least one occasion, such as when the player is required to navigate a metal grid suspended over a rather distant body of water on his way to an aqueduct. In this case, if Kyle falls, he exhibits an anomalous case of Super Drowning Skills. | |

Ironic Echo: Early in the game, Jan informs Kyle that his ship is going to need repairs and jokes that it's going to cost him a crate full of money that he doesn't have. Late in the light side route, Kyle rescues Jan from Jerec's forces and informs her that it's going to cost her a crateload of money that she doesn't have. In the darkside ending, Kyle, now the new Emperor, sits on his throne and views the recording from his father. When the recording reaches the point where Morgan comments on how very proud he is of Kyle, a twinge of emotion seems to cross Kyle's face and he subsequently crushes the recorder beneath his boot. | |

Bag of Spilling: Kyle starts the expansion with a small selection of powers, even compared to what he would have had in the base game, though a good few stars to allocate to more as his four levels progress. Even so, he should still have Force Protection, which he gains when he refuses to execute Jan. | |

More Dakka | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_2b706ca | comment |
The Imperial Repeater Rifle combines some of the best elements of the Bryar Pistol and the Stormtrooper Rifle, namely accuracy and More Dakka at the cost of using rarer power cells. It also comes with a shotgun-like blast for close range and compared to the Bowcaster and the Concussion Rifle, is a lot more efficient with ammo. | |

Artifact Title: "Dark Forces" refers to the Dark Trooper project, which would make its presence in Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, about a guy become a Jedi and fighting a group of Dark Side users along the way rather irrelevant... were it not for the implications of the term "Dark Force" in the Star Wars universe. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The third person perspective is totally useless when it comes to shooting as you have no way of knowing where it is aimed at. It does come in handy during lightsaber duels since you are able to see the enemy approaching you from the back and side though. The carbonite gun in the expansion pack turns enemies into blocks of, well, carbonite, which you can destroy with your lightsaber. Sounds cool? Maybe but you'll soon find out than carbonite supplies are scarce to come by, its range is pitiful, and practically any other weapon deals with bad guys faster and safer. The Bowcaster has a Charged Attack as its primary fire, making it difficult to fire rapidly. Its secondary fire allows for faster firing, but its blasts bounce off everything, making it potentially as lethal to the player as it is to the enemy. Some of the darkside powers can be this. Force Deadly Sight is a literal Death Glare that kills too slowly to be of any benefit and is always on until your mana is drained. Force Destruction shoots off a fireball that is less effective than some guns and uses a lot of mana in the process. Force Grip requires keeping a single enemy in line of sight and kills quite slowly, not a great option if being shot at from several angles. Force Throw requires the use of debris, which is only available in some areas, most notably during Maw's boss fight. Force Lightning does pitiful damage for the amount of mana it drains. The Concussion Rifle uses a lot of power cells per shot, even for its close range secondary attack, making it more useful as a situational artillery piece than as a primary weapon, a role that can be also fulfilled by the Rail Detonator. | |

Space Pirates | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_305bcbb9 | comment |
Space Pirates: Levels 9 to 11 consist of a subplot involving a very classical version of these. Not only do they look like classic pirates, but in space — they literally board the New Republic ship you've just been assigned to and loot all of its cargo, including a Jedi Holocron. You spend Levels 10 and 11 stowing away on their ship and subsequently assault their home base to take back the Holocron. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The Bryar Pistol. Accurate, just as powerful as the Stormtrooper Rifle, consumes half as much ammo per shot, and uses the extremely common energy cells. Its only downside is its relatively slow fire rate. It's also the starting weapon. The Imperial Repeater Rifle combines some of the best elements of the Bryar Pistol and the Stormtrooper Rifle, namely accuracy and More Dakka at the cost of using rarer power cells. It also comes with a shotgun-like blast for close range and compared to the Bowcaster and the Concussion Rifle, is a lot more efficient with ammo. Good old Force Pull. It's not as flashy as Lightning or Destruction, but it allows you to instantly and permanently disable any gun-wielding enemy (i.e. 80% of your foes) and it's around for most of the game. It also works through forcefields, making it handy for neutralising enemies you might have to deal with later. The rest of the neutral powers also count. Jump allows you to reach certain areas and can even be used to invoke a Dungeon Bypass in certain cases. Speed makes Kyle's already swift movement speed even better, allowing for better mobility. Sight, while primarily supposed to be used in conjunction with the map to spot enemies has the more practical effect of night vision, rendering the flashlight and IR goggles redundant; Why waste your batteries when you have a recharging mana pool? Force Heal. Even compared to other Light Side powers, there's nothing more useful than to be able to restore hitpoints between firefights. | |

Game Mod | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_45bf382b | comment |
Game Mod: Utterly loads of them. Jedi Knight is very mod-friendly with loads of user-created content available online ranging from new skins to weapons to original missions. As the game is VERY unstable on modern systems, even with official fixes, unless you run it in software mode without hardware acceleration, there have been several mods made to get it to run on modern systems with modern resolutions and framerates. OpenJKDF2, an open-source project source port, seems to be the most comprehensive attempt. | |

The Unfought | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_464dd7cc | comment |
The Unfought: After arriving on Ruusan, Kyle spies an AT-AT walker patrolling the area. It's encountered in the beginning of level 17, but it's vacant and you don't get to fight it. Sariss becomes this if you choose the Dark Side. Instead, you get to fight Yun in a rematch and Sariss turns to your side in the ending. | |

Force Lightning. Shooting electricity out of your hands like The Emperor might sound fun, but it consumes your Force energy very rapidly, which you could use for other powers. You're better off just using a gun. | |

The Bowcaster has a Charged Attack as its primary fire, making it difficult to fire rapidly. Its secondary fire allows for faster firing, but its blasts bounce off everything, making it potentially as lethal to the player as it is to the enemy. | |

Contractual Boss Immunity: Averted; in the last 3 missions you lose all your non-lightsaber weapons anyway, so the devs didn't bother to give Dark Mara or Dark Kyle Force Pull or damage resistance against projectile weapons, unlike the Dark Jedi from the base game. However, this is only noticeable with cheats or in the Bespin Cloud City Easter Egg bonus mission. | |

Death Glare | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_627264e0 | comment |
Some of the darkside powers can be this. Force Deadly Sight is a literal Death Glare that kills too slowly to be of any benefit and is always on until your mana is drained. Force Destruction shoots off a fireball that is less effective than some guns and uses a lot of mana in the process. Force Grip requires keeping a single enemy in line of sight and kills quite slowly, not a great option if being shot at from several angles. Force Throw requires the use of debris, which is only available in some areas, most notably during Maw's boss fight. Force Lightning does pitiful damage for the amount of mana it drains. | |

Cowardly Boss: Maw takes about two hits before fleeing to the other side of the area where he's fought. The third time Kyle catches up to him though, he stands his ground, ultimately resulting in his defeat. Boc spends most of his boss fight jumping around like a lunatic, making him rather hard to hit. Fortunately, being zapped with Force Blinding causes him to slow down somewhat. | |

Boss in Mook Clothing: The vornskrs in the expansion pack are ridiculously fast, agile and deadly, as well as immune to practically any Force power you have at your disposal, save for Destruction. To make things worse, they're pretty much the only enemy in the game that you take damage from by just touching them, they can leap at you when you're on ledges above them, and they can swim. Sounds like the kind of enemy you might want to take down from distance, right? Well, you have Force Destruction, Saber throw and all the other weapons you've collected during your journey... except they just don't happen to work in the last three levels where you meet the vornskrs. Ouch! | |

| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_898ff050 | comment |
Villain Protagonist: On the Dark Side path, Kyle becomes this. The game's events themselves play out almost the same as on the Light Side, with the only differences being that Kyle instead kills Jan, is abandoned by Rahn, doesn't crash the Moldy Crow and have his green sabre destroyed, must face Yun instead of Sariss, and, quite obviously, doesn't save Jan from Boc. However, upon defeating Jerec, Kyle takes the valley's power for himself and becomes Emperor. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: A major one from the end of Level 14 to Level 16: Kyle gets goaded into killing Maw in a fit of rage, and then Jerec comes in and reveals that Jan's been captured, and tries to get Kyle to kill her (he does in the dark side path, leading to Qu Rahn abandoning him). Kyle then has to escape the now-falling cargo ship in time, but when he does the Moldy Crow crash lands and is destroyed, and he's found by Boc, Sariss, and Yun. Boc destroys Kyle's lightsaber, and just as Sariss is about to kill him, Yun defends Kyle and gets killed instead. The dark side path is much less dramatic, with Kyle killing Jan and not crash-landing the Moldy Crow, and then fighting Yun to the death. | |

Exact Time to Failure | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_94cc2c28 | comment |
Exact Time to Failure: While Jerec's destroyed cargo ship falls towards the ground, its PA system announces the exact time to impact every 30 seconds, and subsequently counts the remaining 10 seconds down. Justified as the ship is only affected by gravity (as well as some (failing) anti-gravity system and (if Kyle activates them), thrusters), so that time can be calculated, assuming the ship's navigation system can measure the distance from the ship's current lowest point to the ground below. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Stormtroopers and other humanoid enemies have undergone a major upgrade from Dark Forces. They're now much faster, will strafe back and forth to avoid blaster fire, are much more accurate, and fire more frequently. Stormtroopers in particular are faster and more aggressive than the Grans and Tuskens you fight in the first few levels, and will hit about half their shots, even leading their shots if you try strafing. Stormtrooper NCOs /Field Stormtroopers also carry heavier weaponry including the machinegun-like imperial repeater and the rocket launcher-like rail detonator. Probe Droids now deal much more damage with their blaster attacks, now doing as much damage as a shot from an AT-ST. They also have a melee attack with their robot arms which counters fighting them with a lightsaber. Trandoshans now deal much more damage with their concussion rifles and also occasionally carry rail detonators instead. Kell Dragons now have bulletproof scales which deflect all non-explosive projectiles. You can now only damage them with explosives, Force powers, the lightsaber, or your fists, and they take significantly reduced damage from explosives. They also now deal 50 damage instead of 20, allowing them to kill you in just 2 bites. | |

Elite Mooks | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_9edbda07 | comment |
Elite Mooks: Stormtrooper Officers/Field Stormtroopers (the ones with the backpacks and shoulder pauldrons) carry heavier weaponry such as repeaters or rail detonators. The ones with the rail detonators can be particularly troublesome since they fire explosive rockets which can't be deflected with your lightsaber. Trandoshans have almost twice as much health as a Stormtrooper and carry powerful concussion rifles. Fortunately, they only appear in a single level. The black-clad Imperial Commandos can take one more shot before going down compared to Stormtroopers, sometimes even able to withstand 1 light lightsaber strike, and sometimes use imperial repeaters instead of blaster rifles. | |

Random Events Plot | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: The expansion has four unconnected story arcs that break up the game. The first details Kyle's efforts to destroy the armed and mobile asteroids that are attacking the New Republic base. The second arc centres around Mara's efforts to negotiate for supplies with K'Pa the Hutt. The third arc involves Mara tracking down and recovering a holocron from some Space Pirates. Finally, the endgame has Mara travel to the Sith temple on Dromund Kaas to see what has happened to Kyle. Barring Kyle telling Mara where he's going at the end of the first story, there's no connection between any of the game's four plots, barring Mara being playable for the latter three. | |

Unholy Nuke | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_a9ea8193 | comment |
Unholy Nuke: Jerec and Boc can both use the "Force Destruction" Power. It's a dark side attack that consists of a fiery ball of flames and negative energy and destroys everything on its path. In-game it's basically a big fireball with a really big splash damage radius, but in cutscenes it's a wave of destruction which Jerec uses to obliterate the support structure holding up the cargo ship Kyle is on. | |

No OSHA Compliance: Par for the course, considering this is Star Wars we're talking about here. Many of the game's levels are set in high places with no guardrails to prevent falls from great heights or have ridiculously Malevolent Architecture and have Kyle take the most dangerous route possible. A notable example occurs in the third level, where Kyle must reach his father's workshop by traversing past a giant pool of battery acid. That's right; Kyle's childhood home has a massive acid pool between the house and workshop. Lampshaded, of course, by Kyle. | |

Dungeon Bypass | |

The rest of the neutral powers also count. Jump allows you to reach certain areas and can even be used to invoke a Dungeon Bypass in certain cases. Speed makes Kyle's already swift movement speed even better, allowing for better mobility. Sight, while primarily supposed to be used in conjunction with the map to spot enemies has the more practical effect of night vision, rendering the flashlight and IR goggles redundant; Why waste your batteries when you have a recharging mana pool? | |

Cutting the Knot | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_c2299d6e | comment |
Cutting the Knot: Force Speed and Force Jump can be used to take major shortcuts and skip puzzles, most notably in the last cargo ship level, where you can skip the entire bridge rotation section and associated key hunt by simply jumping across the gap to the other side or onto the (unrotated) bridges. | |

Good Colors, Evil Colors | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_c32201f6 | comment |
Good Colors, Evil Colors: Interestingly played with. Only two of the seven Dark Jedi use traditional Sith red-bladed lightsabers (Maw and Jerec). The rest use lightsaber colors typically associated with the Jedi: yellow (Yun), orange (Gorc and Pic), blue (Sariss), and purple (Boc). Kyle himself follows this trope after the alignment lock; if he stays true to the light side, Kyle switches to a yellow blade inherited from Yun, fresh off the Redemption Equals Death train, while if he falls to the dark side, he sticks with his original green inherited from Qu Rahn. Finally, on the Force powers menu screen, the light side powers are green while the dark side powers are red, with the "neutral" powers being blue. | |

Cutscene Incompetence: A few times throughout the game: At the end of Level 2 Kyle is surprised by two rail troopers, the kind of whom he must have defeated a few dozen times by now. That's enough to make him run off like a wimp. A bunch of Ka' Pa the Hutt's henchmen are no match for Mara Jade... as long as plot convenience doesn't require her to be forced into taking up Ka' Pa's job offer. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: In Mysteries Of The Sith Mara Jade's lightsaber is purple. It should be blue, as her lightsaber was Luke's first saber that he initially lost on Cloud City then recovered (long story) and gave to Mara as a gift. Not helping are the multiple Retcons, the first coming from the comic Mara Jade — By the Emperor's Hand, released later that year, which explains that she had her purple lightsaber long before receiving Luke's blue one, and later retcons saying that lightsaber was stolen from Mara by Lumiya in the years between Endor and her joining up with Talon Karrde. | |

However, against later bosses who start busting out dark side Force powers, such as Destruction and Lightning, it can be a very useful tool to survive, as not only will it nullify the effects of said powers, but also convert them into mana. | |

Artificial Brilliance | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_df11acbe | comment |
Artificial Brilliance: While the A.I. is simple by modern standards, it's a noticeable step up from the previous generation of FPS A.I. (as seen in games like Doom and the original Star Wars: Dark Forces) where enemies would simply wander around randomly towards your general direction and periodically shoot at you. Even Quake II, released the same year as Jedi Knight, used A.I. of this type. In Jedi Knight, by contrast, enemies strafe back and forth to avoid gunfire (which can cause them to unintentionally dodge in and out of cover or retreat into different rooms), can jump between different height levels (i.e. jumping down off higher platforms or jumping to climb objects to reach you), can jump to fire over high objects, etc. It noticeably predates games like Unreal and Half-Life, which were a big advance in FPS A.I., by a full year. | |

Nerf: The lightsaber's damage has been reduced from the base game. On the other hand, the saber throw power gives it a ranged option. Force Chain Lightning is even more useless than Force Lightning from the base game, since it requires locking onto an enemy and only launches a single spark, taking all the fun out of it. In the original game, Force Pull would render the disarmed enemy completely helpless. Here, they will try to punch you to death with their bare hands. | |

Insistent Terminology: When 8t88 tells Kyle that Jerec is a Dark Jedi, Kyle muses on the term Jedi, to which 8t88 emphasises the Dark part of the phrase. Notably, the seven Dark Jedi are referred to as Dark Jedi and not Sith (except for the title of Gorc and Pic's Boss Battle, "Brothers Of The Sith"), which makes sense, since they do not follow the Rule Of Two. | |

Simple, yet Awesome: Averted when compared to the sequels. Unlike in Outcast and Academy, where the lightsaber basically renders the rest of your arsenal utterly useless, you're going to be hard pressed to beat this game without resorting to your standard weaponry fairly often. Especially on Hard mode, taking down enemies from distance, while mundane, most of the time still proves much safer than hacking them down with your lightsaber. | |

Check-Point Starvation | |
| Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (Video Game) / int_f09021fe | comment |
Checkpoint Starvation: Throughout the whole game you are able to save your progress anytime you like. As helpful as it is, it also means you are left with little to no checkpoints that would really come in handy in some stages. A good example of this being a problem is levels 14, 15 and 16, the first and third of which are boss battles and the second is a mission with a time limit. Whenever you die, you are reset to the start of the particular level. That is unless you turn the game off, in which case you will need to start the game from the last savestate you made. So, for instance, if you didn't save the game immediately before finishing off the first boss, then you'll fail the timed mission that comes right afterwards (provided that you didn't save the game right after the beginning of the new level) and turn the game off, you're going to have to repeat the whole fight all over again (or even more if you didn't save before entering the elevator leading up to said boss, which, by the way, you have no way of knowing marks the end of the level). The same thing goes for the next boss fight: if she kills you, then it's off to the last savestate, which in the worst scenario might be as far as three levels back! | |
