9th Sister, help needed!

[glenningram]

I have attempted to defeat the 9th Sister (which I know is early in the game) but for some reason cannot defeat her, I get the dual blade but that is as far as I can go, I just cannot beat her, could anyone please give me a tip if available to defeat her. I can see me being at this stage forever if not. Any help is greatly appreciated. Playing on P.C.

I think the mistake most probably make with this boss is attacking while she holds her hand to her head and there's a blue fog around her head. This is when she's reading your mind, and only parrys work here, as she can see your attacks coming.

You WILL need to get good at parrying if you aren't though.

This guide explains it pretty well, and also shows the location of a nearby stim in case you missed it.

Mostly just don't attack while she's doing her "I know what pr0n you watch" mind reading thing. Wait for her to attack you, then counter or parry.

Obviously you can't parry the flashing red moves, you can however evade them. Your evade does have a few i-frames, but mostly you should be trying to evade whenever their tracking stops mid-attack. Might require some practice to get the timing down.

General tip for parrying: Commit to your parry when you attempt it. Don't tap the button, hold it down. Worst case scenario, you end up blocking instead, not that bad.

Do you get to the point where the game prompts for you to use the dual saber force parry ability ('F' on KB and M, not sure what it is on a controller)? At that point you just have to hold that button and you win the fight, but if you try to keep fighting you will lose.

Dual saber does have an auto-parry ability which the game urges you to use, it's a bit tricky because it has a long activation and drains force pretty quick, but once upgraded it's pretty good against a lot of the humanoid bosses.

You do have to learn to parry, although the spinning staff enemies can be a little tricky to learn because you can't be sure which end they'll attack you with. If you can't parry, you'll have a hard time breaking enemy guards. You'll also have to learn which "red attacks" to evade and which ones to jump over as the game progresses.

Sadly, I think this game expects you have played Fallen Order before this one and have the muscle memory from that game when you start. Otherwise it's got a steep learning curve (at least compared to Fallen Order).

with your left hand run around, with your right hand touch the bum hole. Good luck!

I prefer to call it Dual Wield, otherwise it sounds too much like the stance where both sabers are attached in the middle, similar to the one this boss uses.

parry her throws and dodge past her attacks at a slight angle, then attack her as she is recovering. this fight works best (in my experience) if you are just defensive enough to get her in a bad spot, then are incredibly aggressive and pressure her as long as posssible.

I rebound the Parry Button to my mouse thumb button, it helped a lot

Thanks all for the advice, will try to time my parries better.
