Star Wars Jedi: Survivor follows Cal Kestis on a brand-new adventure. Hoping to find a place to hide from the Empire, he visits the planet of Koboh, where he reconvenes with an old friend. Players need to visit Pyloon's Saloon in order to progress the story, but they can also seek out a few side quests while they are there.
The side quests in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are known as Rumors, and Cal can find most of them while exploring the planet of Koboh. The Find the Missing Prospectors Rumor is available during his first visit, but completing it this early can be quite difficult.
How To Start The Find The Missing Prospectors Rumor In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Upon arriving on Koboh, Cal must make his way through the Derelict Dam toward the Rambler's Reach Outpost. He will eventually reach a Workbench next to the Rambler's Reach Outpost Meditation Point, where he can find a Prospector standing next to the building on the right.
Speaking with this NPC will prompt her to explain to Cal that a group of Prospectors recently went missing. When the conversation ends, Cal will be free to search for them.

Turning around and climbing the vines behind the Meditation Point, Cal can head through the small passageway on the left to begin the search.
Inside, he can grab onto the railing above to climb deeper into the cave and use the Force Push ability to remove the rocks blocking the way forward, after which he will arrive in the Sodden Grotto.
Turning right and heading down the path to the left, Cal will get attacked by a Shiverpede. There are several of these enemies lurking throughout this cave, so players should use Force Pull regularly while exploring; doing so will allow Cal to grab any nearby enemies and suspend them in midair, making their attempts to surprise him fall flat.
Just behind where the Shiverpede was waiting, a Priorite Shard can be found.
Backtracking to the door he just came through, Cal can proceed left and use Force Push on the door further up. He must then proceed through the dark corridor, defeat another Shiverpede, and use his Lightsaber to cut through the ropes blocking the way forward.
Running across the wall on the left and then turning right, two Bramliks will attack. Once they have been defeated, Cal can use Force Push on the debris to his left to create a bridge to the next area.
Crossing the bridge and turning left, Cal must cut through the ropes in his way and squeeze through the gap at the end of the path. After defeating the Bramlik in this area, Cal can continue to the back of the cave to find the Dead Researcher Force Echo.
Heading back through the gap he squeezed through, Cal must slash through the set of ropes at the opposite side of the room to continue moving forward. Turning right and following the path, Cal will find a dead Gorger that, when scanned, will reward him with the Dead Gorgers Data Entry.
Backtracking to the ropes he just cut, Cal can then leap across to the platform ahead to find and kill a Scavenger Droid. Turning left and heading into the darker area, he must then defeat two Bramliks before he can open the chest at the back. Once the chest has been opened, he will obtain the Scrapyard Legs for BD-1.
Backtracking to where the Scavenger Droid was first seen, Cal can jump forward to the stone walkway opposite the way he came from. Following the path through the gap in the wall, he can create a shortcut back to the entrance by interacting with the zipline.
Turning left and continuing down the corridor, BD-1 can scan the large skeleton to acquire the Massive Ribcage Data Entry.
To the left in the next area, the Prospector Remains Force Echo can be seen in the corner; directly behind, players will find the Sodden Grotto Meditation Point.
Before proceeding into the next area, players should be sure to interact with this Meditation Point to restock their Stims and secure a checkpoint, as dropping into the area ahead will initiate a pretty challenging Rancor boss battle.
How To Beat The Rancor In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Movement is key during this battle as, although the Rancor isn't overly fast, it can instantly KO Cal with its grab attack. Because of this, players should try their best to dodge away from the Rancor whenever it is about to attack to ensure they don't get grabbed by it. Thankfully, the instant KO attack has a pretty obvious tell; whenever the Rancor is about to do it, it will glow red before reaching its claws toward Cal.
Another red attack the beast will perform sees it smashing its claws into the ground and sending a shockwave toward Cal. This attack can be dodged by jumping to the left or the right the moment the best begins to glow red.
It's also possible to parry the Rancor when it lunges at Cal by blocking its claws. A perfectly timed block will stagger the beast, allowing Cal to get a few attacks in.
Another great way to deal some quick and easy damage to this Rancor is to use Force Pull on one of the bones lying around and throw it toward the beast's mouth. This will briefly incapacitate the Rancor, giving Cal a chance to attack.
For players who just want to defeat the Rancor without risking defeat, climbing up the grate leading to the previous area will allow Cal to get out of the beast's range. From here, Cal can throw his Lightsaber down at the beast to damage it, but this method can take a significantly long time.
When the Rancor has been defeated, a prompt will appear, marking the end of the Find the Missing Prospectors Rumor. Before leaving the Sodden Grotto, however, Cal should scan the Rancor's remains to obtain the Rancor Data Entry, after which he can interact with the Force Essence at the back of the room to acquire the Shatter Perk.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
