The protagonist is well versed in the Force, which he can use for various purposes. For example, he can summon vines from nearby trees to swing across chasms. Cal can use his Jedi training to run alongside walls, jumping from one to another. He can also use the Force push to clear the way, for example by breaking open damaged doors.

As a Jedi, Cal uses a lightsaber. It’s a versatile tool, useful as a weapon but also for other purposes, such as to light the path ahead. In combat, Cal can swing the lightsaber cutting down his enemies almost instantly.
