Rancor is so far the stupidest boss fight.

[Rasberry]

I have unlocked all stances, I dealt very low damage to him, figured all of his patterns and I also know the bone can get stuck in his mouth.

Well nothing really works because this is stupidly designed boss, he has one very slow attack that instakills and then he has very rapid and unpredictable attack that also one shots.

The bone mechanic doesn't even work 70% of times and the bones don't respawn and get destoyed even if I drop them from force pull.

Not to mention one of his attack has much wider hitbox that it should've and guess what it also one shots.

I am legit losing my mind over this boss and how stupid it is, there's no info on it, no weakness no openings whatsoever.

I am thinking of going to padawan just to beat this stupid boss from GM.

Force powers are better to prioritize, then just 1 stance i did single and the rest all into Force powers. maxing out push pull lift and slam. a lot of these bosses can be stuck into a constant state of stagger with them fully upgraded.

True. With enough stims it's possible to permastun foes with force slam / force pull. Then just 1-2 hits and dodge back. 1x1 fights are joke with this tactics, still a little harder during 1x2/1x3 big boys encounters, but force slam is op asf. cross stance +perks to boost dmg (+dmg -Def, +dmg afrer using a force) and Cal is on fire. And there is a blaster, which can deal a lot of dmg too.
Just a little practice and ranchor will be one of an easiest foes, gl. Ah, and to fight him without all of dis, just be patient and do not click dodge x2, but do it with some delay, so you can dodge his slams like np. Works with a lot of foes, and ranchor has a big windows to hit him, unlike frog or monkey. Gm exp.

This is why i play on Story Mode....no complains about the bosses, i just have problems with some of the jumping puzzles.

[Abscondrel]

frog is harder than rancor. that seems kinda wrong imo. the first time i saw a rancor at all, it was 2 of them. took a few tries but the slow power makes it easier. and the cross guard hits very hard and defends well.

[VhagarTheLastOne]

Boss fights are just stupid, I think its bad design when difficutl level can go from easy to very hard in seconds. I play boss fights on Story Mode. Not worth it. Especially you cant save at the boss. I could keep trying if I spawned back.

[AceflieR]

I beat rancor with 2 stances unlocked and 3 stims. Took me about 125 tries but I did it think I may have it on video also.

The biggest shock fighting this boss is realising that the game expects you to jump as well as dodge, which you may not be used to if you've primarily just played souls games. After you find out his dodge and jump patterns though he's really not that difficult, it's more not slipping up as it's almost a one shot on GM, or strings into a one shot very easily.

If you've got all stances use the dual blades and throw lightsabers at him, and charge blaster shots. It's easier once you have the mid-air dodge upgrade as well to control your air time but I killed him with just the dual blades before I unlocked blaster/mid air dodge, and you can even equip the perk to do increased throw damage, and regenerate force if you've found it (as force doesn't regen on GM unless you attack).

Double blade stance makes short work of him. When he does his unblockable forward, dodge to the left, start attacking his tail. When he starts to turn around to face you, just jump backwards. Parry him when he does his forward swipe, and just try to reset him so he'll do the unblockable lunge again.

The frogs are just stupid, though.

the only boss fight that can be objectively named as a poorly designed boss fight is the Vader fight on GM difficulty. Its tough and boring and its also so stupidly straight forward and for what? You put in all that effort just to watch a cut scene of someone die

[Rotting Pastry]

The Vader fight sucks because the best way to win is boring: do one hit, dash back, repeat until you catch him in a state where he takes damage instead of blocking. Then when he starts chain attacks, bait a chain until the end and hope he goes into a state where he gets hit instead of blocking.

But the double Rancor fight (probably all the fight challenges tbh) was either not tested for more than a single fight, or they had tons of really high priority bugs to deal with, because the animation errors with the grab where Cal would be floating somewhere in the ether while the Rancor is standing somewhere else entirely, often in midair, happened like every 3rd or 4th time I got grabbed.

Rancor is extremely easy as he is incredibly slow...
If you are having a hardtime with rancor, this game is going to make you cry with some of the other bosses...

Actually the best way to win Vader's fight is parrying; the boss fight is designed that he takes a lot of block damage from parrying, and his attacks are slow and well telegraphed to encourage you to try and deflect them.

Aren't you so uselessly helpful?

[✪ Wuhan Warrior 🍉🍉]

As with most other bosses circling this boss helps. I won him by being patient and waiting for his unblockable and moving in for 2-3 hits max. I played this on master difficulty btw.

Skill issue. It took me three attempts, and I fought it waaayyy sooner than you did OP. I'm also playing on Jedi Master.
