After you’ve passed the massive array beam on the Shattered Moon, you’re much closer to where Rayvis is waiting for his anticipated fight against Cal. The Republic Research Laboratory puzzle in Jedi Survivor is extremely confusing at first glance before you reach the fight.

In order to burn away the Koboh Matter vines in the Republic Research Laboratory, you need a purple orb on the pedestal in the room. However, getting the orb to the pedestal is a completely different story that I had to test out multiple times, so you should be able to do it right away.
Jedi Survivor – How to Solve the Republic Research Laboratory Puzzle
When you arrive at the lab on the Shattered Moon, you’ll find the main puzzle room to your left after locating the Mediation Point. Once Cal jumps across the gap, there is broken glass on the right and a pedestal for the orb on the right. This is the main clue for leaving the room.
On the left side of the room, you can see one of the purple orbs that became familiar in the Devastated Settlement if you look directly ahead at the shattered glass in the middle window. The orb cannot be pulled through the glass, but you can still pick it up with the Force in Jedi Survivor.
Republic Research Laboratory Puzzle Steps:
- Pick up the orb on the other side of the glass with the Force.
- Aim the orb at the door on the other side of the room where there is a ramp directed upwards.
- Tossing the orb at the ramp will allow it to roll to the other side.
- You need to run to the other room on the right as soon as you throw the orb before it falls and resets.
- If you were fast enough, you can pick up the orb with the Force again and place it on the pedestal in the main room.
