Battle of Hoth

To get all 3 of the challenge points in this level all you have to do is Harpoon the 3 big AT-AT's.

Escape from Echo Base

Challenge Point 1: If you take the corridor immediately on your right when you see the Millenium Falcon, you will come to a door. Inside the room behind the door you will see a room with a red cylinder in it. Just opposite from the cylinder is a secret wall. Activate it using the R button. The wall will open up revealing this challenge point and a full health pack.

Challenge Point 2: Continue out of the room with the red cylinder. As you go down the hallway, you will see 4 boxes stacked up on your right. Shoot them all. Behind them is a small room with this challenge point and two 20 health packs.

Challenge Point 3: Continue going down the corridor you were in before you got challenge point 2. Take a right at the first junction. Continue going along the corridor until you come to a bridge. Before you cross the bridge, jump or walk off to a ledge on your right. The challenge point is on the ledge along with a seeker ammo pack.

Challenge Point 4: Cross the bridge and go through the dark section. As soon as you emerge from the dark section, go to your right. Follow the ledge across to this challenge point and a seeker ammo pack.

Challenge Point 5: Instead of climbing up the ramp that you first come to, go to the right and jump into the structure. Walk around the large cog until you find this challenge point and a 5 health pack. (There is no challenge point in the structure on the left... only a 5 health pack)

Challenge Point 6: Climb the ramp and go straight until you see an extra life icon. Jump across the chasm to get it. Turn around and the challenge point will be right in front of you along with a 20 health pack.

Challenge Point 7: This challenge point (along with an extra life icon, a 20 health pack, and a seeker ammo pack) is on the floor of the giant cog structure on your left after the generator room. You need to jump off the bridge in order to get into this structure.

Challenge Point 8: This challenge point (along with an extra life icon and a 20 health pack) is on the floor of the giant cog structure on your right after the generator room. You can either jump off the bridge or jump across from the challenge point 7 area to get into this structure. NOTE: to get back without losing a life, you can jump onto platforms around the edge of the challenge point 7 area, then jump back onto the bridge from the highest platform.

Challenge Point 9: When you get to the section where the ground splits, go to the left side of the moving chasm and STAND STILL at the beginning. After a couple of seconds, the challenge point will be revealed from behind the wall in front of you. (An extra life icon will emerge from the wall on the right side of the chasm after a few more seconds. If you're feeling brave, you can get it and make it to the end of the chasm with just enough time.
