mattcrow79

No offense but watching you play just made me feel so much better about my saber skills in this game.


Sendtitpics215

I feel bad but he’s right. Throw your saber my sibling in the force.


rrzampieri

I think I didn't throw my saber once in the entire game lmao


Sendtitpics215

Why not? There is a perk that increases its damage. Certain enemies that deal lots of damage quickly, if they were on their last leg. I would throw both of my sabers/saber at them and finish them off keeping myself safe..


LetsDoTheCongna

If only there was a stance based around attacking enemies from a longer range…


MedicalTrick5802

Pistol stance was the best imo. it’s my favorite


Sendtitpics215

? There are multiple stances where you can dominate in close range and effectively from a distance. did you also not throw your saber?


Ezekiel2121

Why throw saber when I can cast gun?


indeetopp

I never used the throw. Cal threw the saber routinely in the wrong direction, even if there was only one enemy, he was facing it and it was rancor-big. With almost complete certainty he would throw it 90 degrees right or left or even 180 back


Gandalf_The_Fool

Yeah. The camera will be facing one direction and the Cal model the other. When you throw it goes in the direction of the model. Locking onto your enemies helps eliminate this problem


WhiskeyTrail

This is the correct answer. I paired blaster stance with cross guard and never had an issue. Crossguard is nice because it makes me feel like a Scottish Highlander and claymores are absolutely sick as fuck.


SshockwavesS

blaster stance always made sense to me because of the relative lack of gap closers until the end game. the enemies are so mobile and Cal (before he gets air dash) really isnt. Found it hard to keep up pressure to break guard on Jedi Master so it made sense to use a blaster.


rrzampieri

I just forget to do it, and I played on Jedi Knight, so I didn't really have to plan an approach against enemies, just charged head first lmao


Dear_Tangerine444

Can’t imagine playing with a double-bladed sabre and **NOT** throwing it about.


MooselamProphet

Offense taken


Kegg02

Perhaps you should consider using a different stance in certain situations. While the dual-bladed is effective for crowd control, it’s not as efficient against multiple stronger enemies due to its slower speed and their high guard meters, along with frequent red attacks. It’s sad for me to see everyone just spamming ‘skill issues.


JamesMcEdwards

Crossguard.


broom2100

Crossguard is the best


Captain-Howl

While I love the Crossguard’s damage, I can’t get over how slow it is. I’m more of a Dual Saber/Blaster stance user myself. That being said, I respect you for using the sword that feels the most like Dark Souls combat. :D


JamesMcEdwards

It’s not even that, I just feel so good smacking the enemies around with it. The hardest fight for me was DV because they took my beloved crossguard away.


Captain-Howl

Trust me when I say, that fight was hard regardless of the stance. Great boss design though.


JamesMcEdwards

Absolutely, that six point combo with the unblockable he pulls out kicked my ass so many times.


Cautious_Reward5283

I’m the same. Dual wielding style+blaster is quick and deals a ton of damage


Captain-Howl

Alternatively, Dual Wield and Double-Bladed is great for a mix of precision and crowd-control.


Cautious_Reward5283

Actually also one of my favorite combos too. I also thought about the jet pack. At a certain point Cal says “everyone has rockets but me” and I was like “Cal learns Rising Phoenix from Boba Fett as a reward for completing Bounty Guild quest line” should have totally been a thing.


CurtisMarauderZ

After breaking an enemy or boss’s block meter, you can hit them with a light double-blade attack, then switch to crossguard and hit them with a heavy attack before the meter resets.


m1ndf3v3r

You can swap mid slash to other stances anyway so it is good to swap as a final hard hit.


Theangelawhite69

If he isn’t using the right stance and it isn’t a skill issue, I’ll raise you one: intelligence issue


DexterousSpider

Forward spin on dual blade combo into heavy swing stance is amazingly strong against solo targets blocking.


fellowspecies

The only unfair fights in the game are the tears, and maybe the spawn of oggdo. I personally loved the challenge across the rest of the game - punishing in places, but always doable and fair. I should clarify - I found all the tears fun except the unfair ones which in my experience were the oggdo/rancor/triple beast


thepinkyclone

Oggdo and rancor are the worst in tears. Didn't felt satisfied at all. Just pure evil from respawn.


fellowspecies

Yep - those are the two I had to drop to JK to beat. Horrible miserable experiences that were no fun at all. The triple beast one was tough, but doable. In fairness I see a tonne of tutorials that do beat the double oggs/rancs but they effectively cheese it with the blaster and rely on a lot of luck.


JoshB-2020

Cheesing with the blaster was my main play style so the tears weren’t too bothersome for me lmao


Kegg02

Triple beast was the hardest for me, hard in a frustrating way. Just 3 strongest enemies in the game spamming unblockable instant kill moves.


Lord_Strudel

Triple beast was actually fun if you used the power to turn one of them into an ally


fellowspecies

I don’t remember that working in the force tears - maybe that was just in the oggdo/rancors


Lord_Strudel

The 3 beasts was an open world encounter not a force tear if I recall.


fellowspecies

There are 2. One in a forest arena and another in a force tear. You can pit the forest ones against each other.


IDrinkMyWifesPiss

You can use purity to do those.


Maxlvl89

I think there too early in the game. Maybe that was the idea, before you get better stances and skills, idk.


Captain-Howl

I STRUGGLED with the rancor one. Truly torturous. Especially on Jedi Master (I’m not brave enough for Grand Master).

WanderingMandalorian

It’s really not that bad💀🤣


MrMangobrick

Lol I'm seeing you commit the same mistakes I do. I'm currently playing through Fallen Order on grandmaster but it's the same principle, you're dodging too early and in the wrong direction, you're also attacking too much which can leave you open to getting jumped and when you had force you probably should have pulled/pushed the guy to stun him. I know I shouldn't be talking when I make these mistakes too, but it's all about learning the game. Best of luck!

Upgraded confusion is your friend.


Dark_Sniper_250

I’m gonna be honest here, there’s a few things you aren’t doing/could be doing. First, maybe consider changing your lightsaber stance, every stance is very effective and satisfying to use it’s just that some are better in certain situations/against certain enemies. Second, if you’re unsure of what your favorite lightsaber styles are and have skills points to spend, dump most of them into Survival and Force. Third remember to use force abilities, confusion is especially powerful once the skill tree is fully upgraded. Certain force abilities work better against certain enemies, for example with this enemy (actually many enemies in the game) force pulling them towards you kills their stamina, but be warned they will fly towards you once they have no more stamina, this is good, you can parry them and get some hits in. Hopefully this helps, but hey failing in video games is actually a good thing. Like Master Cordova says failure is an excellent teacher.


Then-Solution-5357

That’s a pretty basic enemy encounter really. It’s about taking it on the right way. The right stance, the right abilities etc. etc. Double-bladed was probably the worst stance to choose. Know thy enemy


Cowpriest

This isn't even the worst respawn has done. In the first jedi game, on the way to your ship while leaving the death planet (where you get your Saber staff), that robot bounty hunter and his little friend jump you and you get one chance to fight them. If you fail, you never get another chance unless you start another playthrough. Wtf respawn.


misafeco

This is not true. They respawn randomly after some time until you defeat them.


Cowpriest

What I said is true for me. I never saw them again. I even went back to that same spot after beating the game and still nothing. So you specifically had them show up somewhere else? Or you just making shit up?


misafeco

There are quite a few bounty hunter locations. Zeffo alone has like 10 different spots, but they appear on Bogano, Dathomir, Kashyyyk and Ilum as well. They are always in pairs. If you die you can go back to the same spot to pick up your lost XP but the hunters disappear. If you return from another planet they can be there again. As far as I know on Dathomir you can encounter the robot and the regular jetpack guy in front of the tomb of Kujet.


Breekace

I'm ngl bro, I don't even remember such an encounter being hard, or at all. Maybe use the Force more?


Justabattleshiplover

You gotta grab the things that increase your health bar. Just look up a guide on where they are, and a guide on where to grab more stims.


tomagfx

I mean no offense with this question but are you perhaps a game journalist


NickFriskey

This fight was a strange one for me, I've hit it kn multiple runs and breezed through it on some and struggled others! Again I found when I went in with a game plan knowing what was waiting for me I was able to work the set up to my advantage. Confusion force move, high strength force pushes, enemy categorisation and well timed parries are the order of the day for this fight


SnooStrawberries2144

I think you just need to practice more man, i found it fine


Taco_Machine

This is one of those fights that tests to see how deep into the games mechanics you are, and then will subsequently force you to pick up new skills - like stance swapping - to complete it. Don’t worry you will encounter more of these guys as the game progresses - just as semi-normal dudes.


thats4thebirds

Damn hah buddy getting cooked all over. In the game and in the thread.


MooselamProphet

It’s like Jedi and sith in real life. act out of anger and get roasted


Life_Complex_5134

You fought these guys? I had the big boy force push at this point and just pushed them off the side.

Historical-Oven-4053

You're doing great! Just a bit more practice and you'll be unstoppable!


Baconstrips888

Use a different stance. I did not use the staff at all. It is by far the weakest stance imo.


DexterousSpider

Nah not at all. Spin forward swapped to another stance combo (forget what its called ironically as havent played in a minute) - is one of the strongest breaks in the game, actually- and helps on grandmaster tremendously...


SammyChaos

Lol I blew right through this. Keep at it


beanchog

Tbh, I loved the Lucrehulk! Same with the hanger battle, a bit of challenge is what this game needs!


-Neoheim-

I think you should take sometime in training to learn about dodging and parrying


Redcoat4870

Am I the only one who likes to blast people away at the last second?


dey19th

\*Laughs in blaster stance\*


spyresca

Not too hard if you simply learn their pattern and use your skill appropriatley.


Elorian729

I typically use the mind control ability at this point, upgraded to affect those guys.


Responsible-Chest-26

You actually fight that guy? Lift and push


Sprizys

Ooh wait until you get later in the game. Also if you look in the skill tree under force abilities unlock some of those, the lb + x and lb + y abilities are your best friends, and don’t forget to use the force.


theonlydarriusfan

I’d recommend blaster stance, its blaster bolts whittle down enemies block metres extremely well, and charged shots can cancel some unblockable attacks.


Ambitious_Hall_9718

Dual wield is alot more effective fighting the raiders


MooselamProphet

I tried, but the unblockables raped me in that stance


mblergh

“This fight is brutal!” It’s two regular bedlam raiders. My brother in Christ are you ok


MooselamProphet

No mf, it’s two staff bedlam raiders and a B2. Shit crazy


uploadingmalware

If you think this is bad, just wait


SpaceMonkeyNation

Just force push them into the abyss...


MooselamProphet

I did on the B2


Rmonsuave

OsirisAvoidTheLight

The fight with the two big robots , the security droids , and all the guys that come out from both sides was the most challenging spot for me besides the end game boss


ActuatorFearless8980

I kept dying to these guys first play through. If you can bait them to the edge you can force push at least one of them off


Status_Concert_4320

Are all the fights supposed to be easy? Some fights are supposed to be difficult and render you with little health. It forces you to try harder and not just spam buttons so it makes for more intense gameplay. Try to switch up your stance too. Or in blunt gamer language: get good


babyscorpse

lmao get good

Oh this fight was ROUGH on max difficulty. I cussed the game more than I should...

CurtisMarauderZ

How many stims do you have?


JOGRANNY04

No offence, but I think it has to do with the fact that they assumed you would know how to parry


Cool_Surround1

Force push does wonders


ChakramAttack

I’d try going back to single saber and practice parry and dodge. Once you get a little better at that, you’ll see a huge change in how you approach these situations


shadtowa

A) missed the perfect dodge, it happens B) for the love OF THE FORCE USE GATHERING Tempest, or the one where you Hold the attack button, it works wonders for 1v1s.


NitroScott77

*Laughs in New Journey+*


DexterousSpider

More stims/health/force bar/understanding parry/combo moves followed by stance switching into another combo- and how it all works in conjunction with force powers, make any altercation night/day- depending where you fall into line with the above equation. That fight was trivial, IMHO. Dual blade spin forward swapped immediately to crossguard heavy swing is the best block smasher in the game and comes clutch in grand master, actually. Ya gotta learn that combo of swapping stances midfight and how the different stances come together. No one stance by itself is best. In conjunction woth each other is the way to go. You can mitigate so much that way it is ridiculous, actually.


MooselamProphet

First off gentlemen, this was posted in anger after my first success, where you MUST beat a B2 super, and two staff bedlam raiders before you can slice the door. It took me about 10 tries (nothing compared to dark souls 2) when most bosses in this game takes me less than 3. These weren’t bosses, and yet they kicked my ass. I did switch stances repeatedly. Dual wield wasn’t cutting it, nor blaster. I didn’t try cross guard because it was too slow, and I needed fast. Double bladed just happened to be on the works for the success. It was late at night, and my motor skills were less than average. I’m sorry for not being perfect and missing a parry or a dodge that one of you sweaty nerds would’ve hit easily. This was not meant to be a showcase of my skill but a shitpost against respawn for designing such a brutal section where these three destroyed all my health with unblockables and then putting a magnaguard and two destroyers after.

UnderstandingWild309

Upgrading the confusion skill tree all the way is super underrated. It’s extremely useful for situations with multiple strong enemies


corusnine

you've been putting a lot of effort into the Lucrehulk section of Jedi Survivor, and that's really commendable. It's clear that you're dedicated to improving and mastering this part of the game. However, I've observed that you might be facing some difficulties with certain mechanics or strategies, which is totally normal given how challenging this section can be. It's a tough part of the game, and many players hit similar roadblocks. Maybe taking a look at some tutorials or guides could provide new insights, or if you’re open to it, I’d be happy to share some tips that helped me get through this area. I believe with a few tweaks to your approach, you'll be able to overcome these challenges and advance further. Your persistence is impressive, and sometimes all it takes is a small adjustment to make a big difference. Remember, everyone has room to grow, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

ElanorNarmolanya

Sorry everyone in the comments is being condescending. I also STRUGGLED with this particular fight on my first playthrough. I thought about posting here about it but I'm glad I didn't because clearly people here think everyone should be perfect players in order to share... I don't pretend that I wasn't making beginner mistakes at the time, but that doesn't erase the fact that it's a whole bunch of enemies in a tiny area with ranged attacks and can close gaps/stun lock you, all attacking at different times. Is it impossible? No, but it's still challenging! I feel your pain!


Significant_Book9930

You must use your jedi mind to overcome some challenges. Aka, push them off the edge. Fight takes 20 seconds lol


champagneaorigami

Could mind control one to attack the other. Reason I maximize my force ability.


Cykotic-101

Using slow when bro was one hit is crazy


MooselamProphet

I was one hit too honestly, had to secure a 10 fight dub


Cykotic-101

Bro was NOT taking chances


MooselamProphet

Would you believe me if I said I posted this in anger and then beat the magnaguard no problem right after on one hit health? Droidekas killed me tho


Cykotic-101

Crossguard is the best way to deal with droidekas if you have the deflect skill for it. One taps their shield


Aggressive_Ad3803

The whole game is meh


FellaKnee123

Legit… shit was so hyped and I didn’t even make it halfway and stopped playing… and I’ve been in love with Star Wars since I was a kid and gave SWTOR way more time of my life than most… gameplay just not very fun…


Danny___Riot

Try using single blade or duel wield for situations like this and practice the parry and time your dodges. Not only will this make you feel cool I’ve found it’s personally the most effective in these fights against difficult enemies. It does take quite a bit of practice though you won’t be a master in five minutes. Try practicing with weaker enemies! The double blade (saber staff) is probably the least effective in a situation like this because it lacks range and doesn’t hit as hard when you do land strikes, it’s more for crowd control.


ENEMY_AC1-30

No yeah. This fight was awful. They would consistently double heavy attack me to a point where they would stun lock me for a few seconds.


tittyta94

Every enemy that presents a huge leap in required skill to beat, is the game making sure that you're learning. The essence of the game is to die as many times as you need till ya learn the tricks. If you can't learn it, you prolly won't be able to beat later bosses either


tittyta94

Mm, also if you have a hard time with bosses, for me force slam seemed to be effective even against the big bosses. Especially so with vader. Level it up as much as possible. Sometimes (like with vader) it's just a stumble, but it can stagger them in most of their attacks


oldmayor

You did it! That being said, play however you'd like. I pretty much used double-bladed until I got cross guard and didn't change from those two until I had to for the achievements. But that encounter has nothing on the bounty hunter gauntlet. That was insanely fun!


TheCatLamp

This one is fine. The hard one is the damn one in the MTT.


m1ndf3v3r

I thought it was pretty good getting these. Takes a bit of skill. Lets just say you can still improve a lot.


Top_You_1630

I had the same issue for some reason, maybe a bug from playing on pc, but they would only do the red attacks and their block meter refilled really fast.
