Star Wars Jedi: Survivor contains a mini-game called Holotactics. Winning all matches unlocks the Gambler trophy & achievement. It is highly encouraged to finish the story and recruit all recruitable characters for the Cantina first or otherwise you won’t be able to play against certain opponents. Here’s what you need to do for it:
- Find, rescue, and recruit Bhima and Tulli. They can be found near the Boiling Bluff meditation point on Koboh. You will automatically go through this area towards the final stages of Chapter 3, but you can always return at any point after. After meditating, go across the chasm right of the Meditation Point and you’ll find a Mogul creature. Kill the Mogul and then speak to Bhima and Tulli. They will thank you for rescuing them and you will be able to recruit them. They now can be found at the Cantina.
- Finish the story and clean up the planets, making sure you scan every new type you come along. You will need to do this anyway to 100% the Tactical Guide and unlock
Intergalactic Geographic. Because the mini-game is about using holographic representations of the enemies you’ve scanned during the story and planet cleanups, having more enemies at your disposal will give you a better edge.
- You need to recruit the following opponents to the Cantina (see All Cantina Recruit Locations). Then, defeat all of them, each of which increases in difficulty. These are Turgle, Greez, Tulakt, Merrin, Caij, Skoova, T-1N8, Tulli.
- Go back to the Cantina and head for the second floor. In a side room here, you can find Bhima and Tulli who have set up a holographic table where you can play Holotactics. This is how it works: on the holographic board you can place the silhouettes of the enemies you’ve scanned either on the front or back row. Placing a character costs points and the more powerful the character, the costlier it is, similar to how Warhammer works. Unspent points can be used in follow-up rounds and each round gives you more points. A tactic to cheese the game is to pick the Droideka (Droid tab, cost is 12 points each) as these absolutely murder opponents very quickly. Place them on the back row and place the most expensive melee characters you can afford in front of them (mainly for protection as if a Droideka gets attacked it has very weak health) and they’ll likely kill all opponents before they can be reached.
That’s all there is to know on how to win matches at Holotactics in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. For all other collectibles refer to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Wiki.
