Star Wars: The Force Unleashed features a wide array of options for customizing Starkiller's lightsaber, including color and power crystals that can adjust its color and special capabilities, respectively. One of the trickier crystals to find is the black lightsaber crystal, and this guide will explain how to locate it.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is an action-adventure game starring Darth Vader's secret apprentice "Starkiller" in the time before Star Wars: A New Hope. Starkiller is tasked with tracking down threats to the Empire on behalf of Vader, along the way revealing the origins of the Rebellion. The game features a wide array of powerful force abilities for Starkiller to use, and rewards players for combining them in a variety of deadly ways.

Reaching the Black Crystal

The Black Lightsaber Crystal is especially difficult to reach due to being found in the very last level of the game, dangerously close to the final boss themselves. Players must navigate most of the Death Star in order to come close to the crystal in the first place. In the final room before the boss fight, players will encounter an AT-ST, after defeating the AT-ST players should use force push on a device mounted on the wall to activate lifts leading up higher.

Ride the lifts all the way up to encounter a pair of imperial jump troopers (most easily defeated by using Force Lightning to knock them out of the air, or lightsaber throw) guarding the area where the crystal can be found.

Follow the green energy beam (likely a power conduit for the Death Star's planet-destroying laser) to where it connects to the metal arch in the image above, and use an air dash to land on the arch.

After doing this, players need only head to the top of the arch to acquire the black lightsaber crystal Holocron. The Black crystal is the final available lightsaber crystal in the game, owing to its location, and turns Starkiller's lightsaber black with a glowing white outline. This is similar to the darksaber seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, and also bears a resemblance to the "Blackwing Bezoar" lightsaber crystal seen in Star Wars: Galaxies.
