Force Tears are glowing purple anomalies you’ll find in certain hidden spots. They’re normally well tucked away, and entering them will present you with either a tricky combat challenge or some sort of gauntlet to traverse using Cal’s acrobatic platforming skills. Some you’ll breeze through with little effort, while others will drive you to despair. You can keep on retrying each Force Tear challenge, or leave and come back later. Generally speaking, combat-based Force Tears are more straightforward, whereas traversal-based Force Tear challenges require very precise wallrunning, jumping, dashing, and so on. Perseverance is key - keep on trying until you get them done, even if it reduces you to (Force) tears.
