* Cal's rampage through the ISB facility after Bode escapes from him again is a MookHorrorShow for the ages. Doing what very few Jedi have ever managed with any degree of true control, Cal chooses to '''''Embrace the Darkness''''' and taps into the Dark Side, upgrading his original Force Slow into a deadly SuperMode that lets him freeze everyone around him in place and mow down every single enemy that dares stand in his way. Stormtroopers, officers, K-series Security Droids, almost everyone becomes a OneHitKill - Purge Troopers sometimes survive the first hit at the cost of their entire poise bar, and DT Sentry Droids only require three blows before becoming scrap, but anyone Cal nabs with his Force Pull is almost instantly disposed of via either Force Choke (humans) or violent compression (droids). Cal's lightsaber even '''''experiences a partial crystal bleed''''' whenever he activates it, gaining a crimson tint with most colors or turning completely red if your current hue is the already Dark-leaning magenta. And this replaces his original Force Slow super for the rest of the game, implying he hasn't just embraced his darkness, he has ''mastered'' it. Cal Kestis seems primed to become the first true Grey Jedi in Disney Canon.

** Once Vader is injured by the burning debris, that's when the gloves come off and he actually processes Cere as a threat he needs to take seriously. Vader notably doesn't have very many taunts in the first phase of the fight, and they all but disintegrate by the final phase, showing that Vader realizes he needs to stop playing with his prey. The most notable difference in his stance? He switches to his far more powerful two-handed grip, typically reserved only for near-peer opponents.

*** This really cannot be overstated: Save perhaps [[Series/ObiWanKenobi Obi-Wan]], Cere arguably became the closest to killing ''Darth Vader'' that any Jedi has ever managed in Disney Canon to date. And unlike Obi-Wan, who ultimately chose to walk away, Cere kept hitting Vader until all he had left was his PlotArmor.

* Cere vs Darth Vader. In contrast to ''Fallen Order'', where Vader effortlessly mops the floor with her, in ''Survivor'', Cere is actually capable of holding her own against Vader in a proper boss fight. And while it's clear that Vader initially isn't taking the fight too seriously, it allows Cere to drop a shelf of burning debris on him and damage his cybernetics, leaving the Dark Lord of the Sith wounded and vulnerable.

--> '''Darth Vader:''' You have grown stronger.
--> '''Cere:''' No. I've only let go of my fear.

** The end of the fight is also this. While Cere is ultimately killed, it's a very near miss on her end as her lightsaber just barely misses stabbing through Vader's suit. When all is said and done, all Vader can do is painfully limp away as he leaves Cere to succumb to her wounds. And look closely - Vader grabbed and twisted Cere's arm out of position at the last second as she landed on him, escaping the MutualKill Cere had likely been aiming for by the skin of his magma-charred teeth.

** This culminates in his final fight with Bode. With Merrin distracted protecting Kata, and Bode raining down blows on him, Cal goes all-in and freezes Bode in mid-air, slamming him to the ground and smashing both his blasters, ultimately dooming the fallen Jedi when their duel ends in a quick draw and his gun malfunctions.

* Cal's rampage through the ISB facility after Bode escapes from him again is a MookHorrorShow for the ages. Doing what very few Jedi have ever managed with any degree of true control, Cal chooses to '''''Embrace the Darkness''''' and taps into the Dark Side, combining Force Slow and Force Body into a deadly SuperMode that lets him mow down every single enemy that dares stand in his way. Stormtroopers, Purge Troopers, K-series Security Droids, even the miniboss-grade Sentry Droids, everyone becomes a OneHitKill or close to it, with Cal's lightsaber even '''''experiencing a partial crystal bleed''''' whenever he activates it - and yes, it replaces his original Force Slow super for the rest of the game, meaning he hasn't just embraced his darkness, he has ''mastered'' it.

** Even before confronting Vader, Cere and the Anchorites are facing an army of Imperial stormtroopers, backed up by both AT-ST and AT-AT walkers, in numbers that would quickly overwhelm Cal even at his peak. But Cere is a fully-trained, old-school Jedi, no longer cut off from the Force, and the player gets to control her as she tears through the Imperial strike force like a scythe through a field of wheat. Even Scout Walkers don't slow her down.

** Special mention has to go to Cal leaping onto one of the Trident's legs and slicing it in two. Cal channels [[Franchise/MetalGear Raiden]] in the best way possible.
