This is how you defeat the legendary rancor

In the new Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Cal Castis fights against all kinds of creatures, druids and stormtroopers. As a special challenge, there are 13 legendary enemies to find and defeat across the galaxy. In particular, the legendary rancor can be found particularly early in the game. We tell you how to defeat him.

Where can you find the rancor? The Rancor can be found on the planet Koboh in the Soaked Grotto. Before that you have to accept a rumor in the southern area. An area will then be displayed on the map.

This area is a cave that you enter by climbing pipes. Now you are in the wet grotto. Fight your way through the cave until you reach a meditation point and with it the arena for the boss fight.

In addition to difficult boss fights, Star Wars Jedi Survivor also offers many puzzles. We have summarized the solution for the tomb of Uhrma for you.

Tips and preparation for the rancor

You can encounter the rancor very early in the game. For the best chances, it’s best to have Cal far upgraded. So maximum stim packs and completely improved stats. However, if you want to get close to him early on, parrying and dodging are the be-all and end-all.

  • Parry: Several attacks from the rancor can be parried. Mastering this mechanic has two main benefits. You don’t lose track of the arena trying wildly to dodge each of his attacks. The second point is the proximity to the rancor. If you parry, you’re closer and can hit more attacks between your attacks.
  • Two guns: Along with the last point, the two-weapon fighting stance is the fastest. It offers the quickest opening between rancor attacks.
  • patience: Not a game skill, but just as essential. You shouldn’t get cocky no matter how far you’ve upgraded Cal. In particular, the rancor’s grab attack can almost always kill Cal directly. You should also avoid blunt attacks and strike patiently between your attack series.
  • Avoid blocking: Although many of his attacks are blockable, this quickly drains your stamina and leaves you vulnerable for a short time. You should rather rely on parrying and dodging.
  • Stim Packs: The higher the number of Stim Packs you have, the higher your chance of surviving against his attacks.
  • The community isn’t just struggling with bosses, but also with the poor performance of Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

    Dangerous attacks of the rancor

    In general, keep in mind that any attack that turns the rancor red is unblockable or parryable. Also, for most attacks, it’s best to keep your distance and then land 3-4 sword slashes after his attack. In addition to his simple attack series, he also has more dangerous attacks.

  • grab attack: With the grab attack, you should wait until he jumps at you and then dodge to the side. After that, you can deal good damage to him with a few attacks.
  • shock wave: The other unblockable attack is Shockwave. Again, the rancor blushes, raises its arms in the air, and slams them down hard enough to create a blast. This pressure wave can be avoided sideways. It is advisable to quickly gain distance to make it easier to dodge.
  • Spin Attack: In theory, this attack is parryable, it’s just incredibly difficult. If the rancor loses a quarter of its life, it becomes enraged and launches an attack whirl. It’s multiple hits that you can parry, but you have to do it at extreme speed. That’s why you should keep your distance again.
  • double tamper: If you’re close to the rancor, he’ll often use a double stomp. The two stompers deal massive damage and should be avoided by jumping left or right.
