Star Wars Jedi Survivor – How to Beat the Rancor

Cal faces the gigantic Rancor

On your journey as the Jedi Knight, Cal Kestis, you’ll encounter many Legendary Bosses and Beasts throughout Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. While the open-world structure of the game allows for some wiggle room when it comes to when you duel, these battles will test your strength, skill, and strategy, regardless of your chosen difficulty setting.

One of the most challenging opponents you’ll face on your intergalactic adventure is the Legendary Beast, the Rancor. While we anticipated that we’d take on this formidable foe long before the release of Jedi: Survivor, many were not expecting just how tough this beast would be.

Equipped with the strength to take you out with just two direct blows, the Legendary Beast won’t go down without a fight. So, how do you beat the Rancor? Of course, you’ll need to endure a few losses, but there is a way to defeat it. Here’s how it’s done.

How Do You Beat the Rancor in Jedi: Survivor?

To successfully defeat the Rancor in Jedi: Survivor, you’ll need to practice some patience and take this duel step-by-step. While the battle may be easier if you elect to make a bit more progress in the campaign before attempting to slay the beast, some practice with Cal’s Force powers and stances should be enough to lead you to victory against the first Rancor you’ll face.

You’ll encounter another Rancor later on, but the first Legendary Beast is located in the Sodden Grotto on the planet Koboh. In this early battle, you should expect to die at least a few times, as the beast is simply too powerful for Cal to survive more than two strikes.

For this reason, you should initially focus on dodging, jumping, and blocking to buy you some time to become familiar with the Rancor’s movements, attacks, and timing. The beast is equipped with two attacks that cannot be blocked, however, so be prepared to dodge its lunge attack and jump over its other earth-shattering move.

Once you’ve found your rhythm, you can try attacking with some combos and Force powers in time with the Legendary Beast’s pattern. In this case, the Single Stance will prove the most beneficial, given the Rancor’s stats. This will grant you equal attack and defenses while optimizing your speed to help you get in quick and deliver a succession of strikes before retreating to evade more attacks.

If and when you inevitably die, be sure to retrieve your lost XP once you respawn. This can be done by entering the stream of light, which will additionally restore your health and Force meter. Combined with patience and determination, this can help you defeat the Rancor and take on other bosses and beasts.
