How to unlock the Get A Grip achievement in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Definitive Guide
- camera sensitivity: set it to 1 (default is 10)
- grip mode: set it to toggle
With these settings it was a lot easier as it was harder to mess up with the right stick and I did not have to hold the right trigger to control the ball.
Additionally, I have also added at the end of this solution a link to a video from achievement hunter that should help as well. Just remember that, for the third puzzle, you do not need to rush at the disappearing section as he did in the video. If the ball is in the middle while you are moving it, you can just wait until the line reappears, and the ball will not fall.
(note on 03/28/2020: I've udated the link as the old one was no longer pointing to the video)
Once you bend the bridge back into place and break the large statue in your way, jump across by doing a delayed double jump and air dash. Enter the doorway and you'll get a cut scene.
After that, you'll get a puzzle. To complete this puzzle, you need to force grab the orb and move it to the other hand following the line. The RS is really the only stick you'll need while controlling the orb. You'll repeat this 2 more times with it getting more and more complicated.
If you ever end up causing the orb to leave the line, it will change colors. This is what you have to avoid. Even if it only barely flashes the color, you'll be ruled out of the achievement. In fact, that flash can happen so fast you may not realize that it happened so you may need to do it several times.
There is a save right before this puzzle, so if you see it change colors, pause and exit the game then select continue to restart the puzzle.The unfortunate part of this achievement is that it won't unlock until after the next save after the puzzle. This means if you have any reason to think it may have changed colors and you didn't notice, pause and exit. If you don't and you hit the save, you'll have to restart the whole level.
Midway through the level after you have a vision of your father you will have this 3 part puzzle.
You have to force grip the orb across a line without it turning red.
The first one is a straight line really easy.
The Second you have to make a few turns and the orb will bend the line around it. So you have to look further then the orb to make sure that you are on the right path.
The third will have a few turns and a section that disappears. You will also get the distortion around the ball that you are moving. The trick here is to look ahead and take your time. The disappearing section is really there so you don't have to rush when you come to that part. Just wait until it is visible again and move.
The key to all the puzzles is to take your time. Use only one stick if you need to and go slowly. If at any part the line and ball turn red (you really can't miss it) then just exit out and continue. You will start at the puzzle.
It took me a few but after i found out that the section that disappears is really there it made life easier.
This just made my life 1000x easier. Thank you, good sir.
I don't have a perfect solution so I'll just share my opinion on what worked for me.
First, do what Vinicius Menti said above. Change the camera and grip modes. That definitely helped me out a lot.
After a bunch of tries I noticed that if you keep the ball aligned a certain way, the lines don't seem to go "red" on you. I know that sounds obvious, but here's what I tried to do...and I hope I can explain this clearly and correctly.
What I did was try to have the line always look as if it were coming directly out of the center or equator of the ball. So, if the line (or track) was a sharp object, it would always slice the ball right in half. Again, obvious - but I just made sure I really focused on that and nothing else. I didn't worry about how the thing looked or the distortion around the ball and all that. I just kept my eyes squarely on the front edge of the ball and how it related to the line.
I have no idea if this makes sense or will work for you personally but once I started just focusing on that small area, going fairly slow, I got it in just a couple of tries.
All told, however, it took me probably over 20 attempts.
Every time I messed up, I changed costumes instead of quitting out. Other than that, I can only hope this helps. Good luck.
when you come to third puzlle, where those things are going to be invisible, just slowly go down like before, and when its go invisible, sTOP, when it show back, slowly go, dont rush! dont mind that it will be invisible again. when it hide again just STOP! wait 1-2 seconds and when color come back go slowly to the end, and achievement will pop-up!
i know it sound crazy but i did like i wrote. i didnt rush, i just stop when this thing has hide and YES i have this achievement. i tried like everyone to rush and tryied this about 30 times, and in 31 for so no reason i discover this way.
PS. sorry for my english.
This is the first part of the Jedi trials. There are three stages here that you'll have to complete. All of them involve pulling a blue orb using Force Grip along a line of light. Take your time. There's no time limit here, so go very slow and be steady. If the orb leaves the line for even the shortest amount of time, you won't get this trophy. If that happens, you can just jump off the platform you're standing on and you'll restart at the beginning of this section. This can be done on any difficulty as it really doesn't matter which difficulty you choose here.
Play through the mission until you enter a cutscene where you are listening to your father and must complete the Jedi Trials.
The first trial is where we will unlock this trophy. You must move the ball along the line without letting it fall off and seeing red. This is easy along the straights, there is no time limit so do not rush, on the curves pay close attention to where the ball is compared to the line as you traverse through it, again remember... NO RUSH.
The one tricky bit is during the third and final set, there is a reappearing line that you must pass and cannot get caught on otherwise you will fail so for this instance you must pick up the pace and act fast (as you can see I only just make it). Upon completing this and finishing the rest of the trial you will be rewarded with your trophy.

Halfway through the level you will see a cutscene with your father and afterwards you have to face the trials.
As you stand on the platform, look towards the blue/white ball and use your force grip, then move the ball along the line to the other side, if you move the ball to far the line it will go red.
There are 3 sections you have to move the ball along, there is no time limit so just move slowly.

The third achievement that can be obtained in this add-on.
Having reached the blue holocron, after a short video insert, you need to use telekinesis to move the blue sphere along the blue lines three times so that the sphere does not turn red.
