Jedi Grand Master Combat Guide - STAR WARS JEDI FALLEN ORDER 

For parrying blasters, just parry the first bolt and then block the rest. Rinse and repeat. You can also parry AT-ST shots back at it, dealing decent damage.

The parrying isn't done well mostly because of the delay of entering block / parry stance, especially between blocks - it's too slow. It should be instantaneous with almost no gap between blocking attempts. In the current state if you miss a parry either from melee or blasters, it's hard to manage a parry on the next attack if a subsequent attack is incoming. What threw me personally off initially is the fact that in other games (GOW, W3, For Honor, Bloordbore/DS), parrying or countering is performed just before or at the exact time the enemy's attack is about to hit you. In Jedi Fallen Order, you can perform the parry quite a bit before the attack lands and that parry window reduces as you increase the difficulty. Because I'm used to parrying on hit, I was struggling to get it right on Jedi Master difficulty because I'd typically parry too late and would block instead. I actually find it more intuitive to parry on Jedi grandmaster difficulty as it's done later into an enemy's animation. The fact that you can change the parry window via difficulty setting is good for players but I still find parry timings inconsistent across various types of enemies which makes combat a bit wonky at times. What's definitely needed in this game is an indicator warning you of ranged shots - something that GOW and Spider-Man got right. Without it, it's insanely hard to fight a mixed group of enemies some of whom are rushing you with melee and other shooting at you. This is especially true on the highest difficulty setting. You are a Jedi after all so you should be able to 'sense' incoming projectiles.

For some reason this guy’s womderful accent to his English makes his advice 10x more authentic. Like maybe he’s even wielded a lightsaber irl. Thanks bud- vid helped 100%!

I just push everything over the edge

This game is fantastic but the parrying system really needs to tweaked.

I had issues with parry system till I turned on the performance setting in options. Made the game run a solid 60fps the whole time. Animations no longer had button delay or issues lining up during combat. Works perfectly for me on jedi master difficulty. Maybe it will help others too.

Thanks. This guide is really comprehensive. Unless your framerate is consistent or you're confident, don't try to parry. FPS drops are sadly common for this game which is a big problem for a timing-based game.

Shouldn’t they (creatures) get hurt when we block with a light saber?

This is the first video that actually helped improve my game ever... the advice on "dodge first and last attack block the rest" perfect.

Thx for your tips. I'm struggling on Grand Master I'm too stubborn to lower the difficulty and know i jist need to get better. I'll try your tactics.

Thanks! Finally playing this game and it is so fun. Just have to learn to be more patient and defensive. May the force be with you.

You make great guides man, love your uploads. Thanks for all your work!

The blocking in this game gets me so pissed it’s super delayed

This is so useful. I haven't gotten stuck yet bur I'm also feeling very unsatisfied with how my combat is. This really is what I was looking for

I just came here for the accent

For the night brothers i just pulled Them to me and stabbed them in the chest 1 shot kill no trouble, i recommend it for people new to dathomir. Also get the bd-1 uprgrade where he heals ur force meter with stims so u can preform more of these attacks. Hope it helps! :)

You have a really respectable community and I feel comfortable sharing deep intellect on this channel. I hope all is well.

With lesser nydaks you can parry 3 times in a row and one shot them With normal kaahyyk spiders you can parry one move and one shot them With the troll things on zeffo just fight flee Ninth sister is easy to perfect evade and you get free damage after every move Legendary beasts are just a harder version of the counterpart so just counter like you would normally. They won't get one shot but you will be able to take them down Nightbrothers are like purge commanders so just parry and then attack Night brother archers are awful. But they have the same projectile timing as a probe droid Purge troopers are tricky but I recommend separating them with a door trap For magus just parry him There's all the tips I know for now before watching

I started kicking a lot more ass with the double light saber xD. Also i really does get my blood boiling when a monster gets a killing hit on you when youre out of the way. Or kills you while the character is getting up from the last hit.

Compact, to the point, and informative. Great video thx.

Thanks for continuing to upload guides! I wish the parrying in this game was better. It's a bit too high risk for its reward imo

Thanks dude I’m am a definitely dodge spammer and I was panicking a lot this will really help

I would pay to hear this man cameo as a Jedi fighting Scout Troopers and yell "you fly swatting bastards" at them lmao.

I'm so happy to see you use the single bladed saber throughout..

You can interrupt any red or jump attack with a quick force push.

For parry, the animation has a cooldown effect, so you have to block after triggering a parry if there are multiple blasters coming at you. If you want to deflect multiple shots, use the double lightsaber stance as it would chain multiple deflections. Lightsaber stance has a immediate parry and shift to block or cancel. Double Lightsaber has a immediate and then continuous parry for about 1-2 seconds extra seconds after the 1st parry is done (ONLY if you successfully parry the 1st shot). It might also parry infinitely so long as blasters keeps flying at you without your deflection stopping (so you don't stop moving the weapon).

Dude my biggest trouble is how quick night brothers destroy my block stamina in 3 hits

Why don't you just push them when they're doing an unblockable attack?

Being the first game I think the combat system is pretty good and hopefully as time goes on they can patch it to make it even better but the one thing that does bug me about the fights against big monsters especially the ones that jump at you is that sometimes they'll jump at you and you will Dodge them and the animal Glides in the air and follows you while you're dodging and they're already in the middle of jumping they just automatically correct and change course to hit you, hopefully that can be fixed with a patch cuz it's annoying LOL they jump at you and you jump out of the way and they magically change course in mid-air to hit you. It can be a pain sometimes LOL

Finally a great guide. I’ve been having trouble parrying, but honestly, I’ll just do what you said and attack twice then return to defence. The game is too clunky for parry.

I subbed back when Nioh was out, forgot about, searched up advanced combat in this game, saw your name and I knew this would be the best video on the topic

A tip for fighting Zotars: NEVER try to dodge their big boot attack to the left, you will get hit every time. Always dodge this attack to the right. (YOUR left and right not theirs)

push off the edge is my personal favorite :)

That slow attack rarely worked for me, they always he me while I was performing the second strike. -- My favorite combo was that single to double lightsaber attack, into the double lightsaber throw.

You must drink whole bottle of vodka this is something you must do 😂

I started playing it recently and I can't unsee the monsters locking on me as if they were on a microwave plate.

Not going to lie I had to switch to story mode a few time but I mastered it and haven’t switched since

The reason why there is a delay on the parry is to prevent spam clicking block to brute force the timing

Play how floyd mayweather fights got it!

Unlock the dodge skill that gives you force refills ASAP!! And just press circle/B instead of parrying and you can basically use your force powers whenever you want to. 🤷🏾‍♂️ you get to unlock it pretty late in the game, but once you get a chance to get it, don’t hesitate like I did. It’s been so useful especially when you get..... *** SPOILER ALERT 🚨 Ahead*** The Dual wield Lightsaber ability, not the staff like one, but the one you get after you break your lightsaber! Because that ability uses force, like a lot of abilities do

To be honest, I like how this game requires you to be patient to master it. It’s really like you have to be a Jedi to master it, almost.

Tbh I really liked the purge trooper fights, now that the "arcade arena" mode has been released, I can now fight them whenever I desire. AWESOME

Parry Nydak 3 times in a row, insta-kill Parry Wyyyschokk lunge attack, insta-kill

I can parry any blaster shot but Not the staffs.

I’ve also played it on grandmaster from the beginning but I really never parryed until the end of the game

good job i think i need to remember to block after rolling or side steping instead of trying to roll again lol. I was watching fextralife be salty on pretty much every fight and puzzle.. couldnt watch past 30mins. glad i played DOS 2 because of u and him though... such a fun game

My problem is that I try to rush combat and end up taking more hits than I would if I took my time, this video will definitely help! 👍

he also forgot to mention try and master precision dodge once u unlock it not only does it avoid damage it recovers some force and if u master it u can easily recover force energy

Man I play a lot of video games but I don’t understand why people are saying this shit is easy. Maybe if you played dark souls for the last 3 years but for the rest of us it’s pretty unforgiving

Good dang editorial my friend.

A wonderful guide. Thank you You have helped me much, my friend

Thanks dude👍🏾

Appreciate the tips, especially on the monsters! Thanks!

Great video thanks

You know that tips will be great when you hear russian accent Edit: "Parrying is on you and how confident you are" Me a player playing on jedi grandmaster difficulty:

Great advice. Thanks for uploading this.

I disagree with your advice not to parry. It’s the most effective and FUN way to manage human enemies.

The animation for this game is so smooth, too bad the frame rate is unstable in console

Very 1st star wars game I've played and I started on hard me and my 7yr old cousin and we love it.

And delay thrust might not work if the boss or enemy deflects the 1st hit you try to land on them, meaning for those enemies you gotta evade or block first and then strike them during their down animation on a attack. Usually a good idea to build up force to do heavy attacks to break their guard faster in this case, they will definitely deflect the 2nd or 3rd attacks if it's normal, but heavy attacks seems to always force them to block.

Best way to beat bad guys on bridges and ledges... force push

Would love to see Bounty Hunter battle tips

Damn this guy talks like the nightsister Merrin

Slow will gaurantee one hit sure. But once you unlock force pull, you can pull enemies in and impale them on your lightsaber by striking once you've pulled them in range. Most of the saber guard is immune to this tactic. They'll strike you and deal more damage as you pull them in.

you can also force push charging attacks

Thanks man. I've been struggling with this game since coming from sekiro

You got another subscriber from this video. Fantastic guide

Very good tips and strategies. Look forward to other games with strategy guides. Your Nioh tips were useful as well. Consider making Dragon Ball Z Kakarot and The Avengers game tips when those games are released.

That secind monster you were fighyinh was literally guardian ape from Sekiro. Almost exact move set

I love the accent. I will subscribe 100%

Thank you so much for this!!!

Great help!! Top tips , cheers mate 👍👍

Great guide, thanks.

Idk what I’m doing but it’s working

My autism is the only reason why I persist with this game's bargain sale parrying.

I don’t think the charge attacks are badly designed. I think they designed it that way to keep you on your toes. The fact of the matter is, charge attacks are super easy to avoid, so long as you aren’t rolling away on reaction to every time the enemy moves a muscle. I did have some bullshit moments when I dodged at the right time and got hit anyways, but it only happened like, three times in my first playthrough.

Very helpful thank you

I really, really loathe security droids cause they're bloody tanky and I always get "hugged" because I'm impatient. Basically everything is down in at most 4 or 5 strikes except for those droids.

I'm doing Jedi Master on my Channel, & this game reminds me closest of Witcher 3's combat, tbh. Similar to that Game, it seems best to hit a couple times, then Side-Step/Roll--NOT Dodge/Jump--away so I can follow up their Combo or Red Attack w/ another Hit or 2 (rarely 3!), etc. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you!

5:36 Delay Thrust - thank you!

Try to push as many things off the map and take out the ranged enemies first

Good stuff thx man!

If its an animal it should be a 1 hit kill unless it's massive like the yeti or wompa in wich case it should be 2 hits as they have no armour and considering lighsabers can cut through doors that can survive a nuke they should be able to cut through flesh no matter how thick with ease and no effort or at least give us the option to one hit kill to feel like a dark sider bad ass

I just hate how long it takes after you press the block button to block. After playing souls games it feels like the block takes for ever

Lol. How to dominate, play on Easy. -- The settings show that when you move up levels reaction time is reduced. That spider was a bitch for me because 1 red hit was a kill strike, and reaction time was small.

funny that the game says those big humanoid droids are highly susceptible to parry's but it seems like the worst tactic to take them down.

all of this strategies are null when you reach kashyyk in grand master and need to fight 3 spiders at the same time..... :p

Just started playing this on jedi master and it's so hard for me, I died 9 times to that monster after leaving the temple on Bogano and I'm having a hard time at Dathomir. Right now I'm considering lowering the difficulty.

Thanks man

Nice tips buddy. Cheers !

It's the damn monsters that double unblockable attack you in a corner. Ruins the game for me at times. But then I keep forgetting to double tap Dodge and push jump instead. I learned to use jump instead of Dodge early on and when I learned about double Dodge to roll it was too late! I can't unlearn it!

This game is fun, but the parrying is just not as responsive as in Sekiro or even Dark Souls.

I played the game in jedi master difficulty. You can kill lesser nydaks and spiders (large ones but not albino spider) instantly.

I see that my approach to rely on parries rather than blocking was flawed. Which is dumb... Just holding a button and waiting for the enemy to finish attacking is so much more boring than parrying.

thanks it helps :)

Great video, love the accent ! Keep it up :)

GG bro

Me, who is a guy that has play all dark souls saga, even bloodborne and demon souls, for about 500 hours each. Mastering this game wasn’t that difficult. I started in master difficulty, and pretty quick changed to grand master because it was getting to easy, of course some times I was getting destroyed, but with more time into it, i was catching the trick. All about this games is patience and practicing the timings, nothing more.

The combat is terrible because most of the enemies are easy but when there is like 9 enemies attacking you at all times you can’t do anything
