I'm playing on Grand Master and I have a tip for the giant scorpion enemies, every time they glow red for their unlockable attack, you can force push them over, if you have howling push. This made my second encounter with one after it killed me very easy.
Focused sight is a great tip. I’ve known about it and have used it, but this video made it really click exactly how to get the most out of it. Brilliant because with the big bosses like the rancor, you’re usually dodging far away desperately from their red attacks and MAYBE parrying normal attacks, but that leaves you unable to take advantage of those small windows to attack. Focused sight allowing free dodges and the ability to attack immediately in close quarters is a game changer. Thanks a lot!
@@SwanyPlaysGames I remember using it here and there because I wanted to try it and thought it was cool, but I ultimately abandoned it because I really didn’t understand what it did other than dodging at the cost of force meter when I could just parry instead. I’m now enlightened lol
Focused sight is really great, especially on harder difficulties as the perfect dogde timing gets so much smaller. Combining this with the perk that lets you regen Force passivly is sooo good :D Imo confusing enemies is much more helpful than pulling them, you can stay active yourself and can turn some battles that can feel impossible otherwise like having 2-3 raider-veterans or if stumble into a cave with a handful of these big monsters that jump all over the place.
Itd be really cool if the training allowed you to practice on any enemy types you've already encountered.... If it is and i missed it please let me know.
One of the biggest protips of all time: Remember you can frigging jump to escape ground AoE's and... well pretty much anything. I haven't seen a single grounded enemy in the game that has an answer for you the moment you take to the air in melee range. This is also one of the reasons the default single blade saber is arguably the best stance in the game... in the air, it gives you two BIG options and both of them hit HARD and do crazy stagger damage. It literally is Elden Ring all over again... Jumping is an angle Souls style combat is not designed to cover so abuse the hell out of it.
I honestly wish, you could choose to do one style only. Single-Blade is the only stance I use. I feel like it gives you the most options in battle offensively and defensively.
@@brandonjones5879 Way too many sleeping on single blade. SB sucks by default yes but once it's maxed spec, it completely carries the game. All you need to do is jump, L1+Attack, then immediately Heavy/Focus attack... then get out of dodge lather rinse repeat. If your heavy attack staggers, then land some more hits else just repeat those two moves and you literally kill everything effortlessly. I can't help but wonder if they'll adjust the AI to deal with jumping moves since right now, absolutely nothing can handle it. It literally is Elden Ring all over again.
I love using double saber & force combos. Lift then rising storm. Slam then repulsing burst. You can use unrelenting pull to gather up a bunch of enemies before doing the combos for maximum damage efficiency.
I wish they implemented the Saber switch that Fallen Order had. Itd be awesome if there was a button hold that combos one stance into the other. - But overall Great Game (discounting Huge frame rate drops, and screen tears)
You can its not a technical "move" however you just have to switch during your attack animation and your next attacks will be that of your other stance. I do it all the time. There is a specific perk designed around increasing damage from stance switching. But this game is very heavy on animation locking cal so a lot of shit won't work if you time it wrong but yes you can switch stances while attacking.
I’m generally a terrible player, but I managed to kill the Rancor my first time by accident. When leaping out of the way during an attack I ended up on the wall section you can climb near the entrance. From the edge I just threw my saber at the Rancor until he was dead. I’ll do anything to avoid fighting these bosses properly. 😂
Same here. You just have to get down in the pit initially to agro him towards you and leave yourself some space and time to climb back up the wall. Then he'll stay in close enough to hit him with the throw. They still haven't patched that as of version 6.5.
for the mogu in the forest array, I ran away from him through the door you can come through, he wont follow you throuh that, you can attack and dodge away
@@mh2327 -that’s weird- (edit: I see lol), I didn’t think it replenished in battle mode except through attacks and dodges, I guess I’ve never waited long enough to see lol
One big breakthrough I had was that a charged blaster shot interrupts pretty much anything, uncluding unblockable attacks. That's how I beat the double froggdo fight. I had it on ricochet. Charge up, wait for them to start winding up an attack, then release to interrupt (ricochet also interrupts the frog you're not locked onto). As they stagger, slide in two lightsaber hits to reload, then run away and repeat
How does one cut off the claw from the giant scorpions? The video shows the claw getting blown off by a single blaster shot while the narration assures us that the Blaster Stance is useless against the claw.
Yea ive had one crash and maybe 3 times frame rates dropped for a few seconds. Im having a blast with this game on ps5. That fight with merrin was intense
instead of focus sight,I spam the auto parry ability, wich you can also upgrade by getting the counter attack skill after auto-parry. Just have to watch out for red attacks but those are mostly easy ot dodge manually.
Some of these seem more tedious than tips. -Force pulling enemies as human shields wastes your force meter and the troops only last 2-3 bolts. You're better off using the saberstaff to deflect the bolts as it would also refill your force meter. -The same would apply for the long staff enemies. Your meter would run out quickly, so you'd be better off parrying and even dodge-to-kick them.
Some good tips. But I'm halfway through and just finding combat way too hard now. Too much to remember and when you get to the moonbase there's no room and they overload you with enemies. It's just become a grind. Might just have to lower difficulty.
@@dmormak yeah there's some really odd spikes in difficultly with this game. On my second playthrough I was fine and enjoyed it, although even then the vader boss and final boss took ages and nearly broke me.
Ok so boom if so if you’re using cross guard to do an different type of attack that’s not listed instead of holding x or square on the first attack try holding that button on the second or third attack you’re welcome it makes your swings faster
Does focused sight work on that green creature in the pit on Koboh? I managed to beat Rancor just by learning his every move after fighting him about 30 times.
My problem with focused sight is that has charge up time and I accidentally activate it instead of dodging, which causes me to take a hit. I’ve probably spent too much time playing jfo where my thumb resting on the button a little longer wasn’t a problem
I too found this to be a little problematic. I think you have to learn to use it properly but it's very easy to get wrecked waiting for it to activate.
I can't get the pull shield to work, I use pull and it does absolutely nothing to them, and with the bedlam raider guys they just stick their sticks in the ground and go no further.
you missed on when you grab an one of the ones with blasters or rockets you force hold them then press R1 and it will use there blaster while you are force holding them
Why do you keep jumping when you’re supposed to dodge? That is why it keeps hitting you lmao because the hit box is designed for people who play normally
focus sight is like cheating. I did not buy this ability because I thought it would make the game too easy. It's like utomatic dodge in Callisto Protocol
I fucking hate this game. I’m spending whole story missions trying and failing to “git gud” at enemy types, failing, getting lost in the map. Then onto another story mission to rinse and repeat. I bought the game so I feel like I have to finish it but fuck I hate this. There are no words to express how deeply and passionately I despise this fucking game, the developers, and the souls-like trend. Fuck this game.
it's really not necessary to repeat yourself over and over. maybe write a script or do some video editing because you don't have to say the same thing twice. the video would be shorter if you just said it once and didn't repeat yourself.
The game doesnt even work, glad i was able to refund it, I will definitely buy the game when they fix it because I've seen gameplay and it looks genuinely fun but its inexcusable to release a game this glitchy its worse than Bethesda standards.
@@OutworldEmperor even pc, it depends on the machine. i'm using a laptop with rtx 2070 gpu and i7 10750 cpu. no crashes, ever. no stutters (four our five times most, with a lot of hours invested and at ~70% game progress + some side missions), but yes I read some comments on steam and here on youtube and most pc players complain about the game due to the game bottlenecking high end gpu and cpu and that's just a stupid option by respawn or EA.
@@OutworldEmperor I need a 3 grand pc for my work and it's features quickly become outdated (I have/had a top notch msi with 2,5 years - not the same already, but I'm not gonna change it because of gaming, which is my option and mine only). and not everybody can afford a pc and a console. on the other hand, if others can and are happy with the game, stop be hater and go see modern family or so, and don't spam people with your annoying and rarely inteligent, nice or argumentative comments: they're just spam; but if your in this group but like to show publicaly how miserable you are, go ahead - you're just exposing yourself and making fool's figure. Thanks for the video. Cheers to all.
