Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, like its predecessor, is a game that can be difficult if you’re not careful. Its soulslike style of adventure gameplay means that it can be tougher than we would expect in a game so focused on lore, especially if we face beasts as fearsome as the Rancor. But if you want to feel like a Skywalker, or just not end up biting the canvas too much, we’re here to explain how to defeat it.
Where to find the Rancor in Jedi: Survivor
The Rancor lives on the planet Koboh, specifically in the depths of the caves of Sodden Grotto. To reach him you will have to break a wall to enter the caves, then turn left and there, you will find a vertical opening in the mine. Use the force to open the metal door and make your way through the tunnel until you reach the deepest part of the cave, where, when you drop down, a short cinematic sequence will introduce you to the Rancor.
What are the attacks of the Rancor
First of all, keep in mind that the Rancor is a formidable enemy and it is very likely that you will not want to face him at the beginning of the game. His attacks include different types of grabs, attacks with his claws and stomps, so it is important to never try to attack him head on. Especially because if the Rancor jumps towards us or we are too close, it will do a grab on us that will be deadly in practically all cases. The other attack he will do to us from the start involves hitting the ground with his fists, causing massive damage if we come into contact with the shockwave, but it is an attack that costs him so much to charge that it is very easy to dodge it.
How to defeat the Rancor
If we want to defeat the Rancor the first thing we have to think about is that it is an enemy without weaknesses designed for us to learn to fight like a true jedi: with patience and keeping the advantage. Dodge his attacks and hit him while he is still finishing his animation is the easiest way to finish this fight. If at some point you have a gap, consecutive strong attacks can stun him, which can greatly speed up the end of the fight. In addition to the grabs, which he will use every time you try to heal yourself and that will force you to take as much distance as possible to do so, you have to be especially careful when you take half of his life, as the Rancor will become especially aggressive and will introduce a new attack where he will try to run you over with his vigorous legs. Do not try to dodge it and just jump to the opposite side of the Rancor to stay safe and, when it finishes its routine, connect two or three hits.
If you keep all of the above in mind, the Rancor may take a while to bite the dust, but it will eventually go down without a problem. You just have to remember that a jedi never gets carried away by passion, and that, even if it looks like one more hit goes in, it’s better to take a step back and keep a cool head rather than get hot and let the Rancor end it all with one unfortunate stomp.
