Steps to beat Bode in Star Wars Jedi Survivor

During the initial cutscene, it was unclear how the Imperial Forces found their location and were approaching them. Still, when Cal looked at Bode pointing his blaster towards Eno Cordova, it was evident the latter betrayed the Light side.

Bode is a highly intelligent person who is an expert in tracking and surveillance, and he had aimed to steal the Koboh Abyss Compass once it was repaired by Eno. Once it was finished, he gave away the coordinates of Cal and his mates.

Players are advised to upgrade their weapons to amplify their chances of defeating Bode. They must also chase him along a long pathway, defeating the forces where he lures Cal to Nova Garron.
