Raxus Prime, Star Destroyer lives!

[ra_mull]

I can't take down the star destroyer at the end of raxus prime. I had full health to start, moved it into position very quickly (within 20 seconds) and was pulling it *down*. But Tie Fighters kill me still. Then when I restart I'm on the objective before, but in the area to only take down the Star Destroyer. I've had to restart the entire level 3 times now and same result each time. Anyone have any idea? This is getting very annoying.

well to start off with it's kind of odd that you have to restart the entire level whenever you die. The many times I died trying to beat that thing i just restarted at the begining of the star destroyer...

But as far as how to beat it, it's impossible unless you know how to do it. Once the tie fighters start shooting at you you need to break free and deal with them. Force lightning is extremely useful for taking them down fast. AS SOON as they're dead go back to messing with the star destroyer, you're going to have to get it back into the "sweet spot" of directly facing you before you'll be able to make headway again. Once tie fighters start shooting at you again, repeat this process for as long as it takes. might be a while if you're not good at getting the star destroyer into the right position quickly.

I do start back at the star destroyer, but it tells me my objectives are from the area before. And it won't let me do anything, nor after 15 minutes of running around does General Kota ever say anything. So I restart the level because I'm stuck just running back and forth on the platform.
But, I'll admit I never stopped using the force to destroy tie fighters in the middle. I just figured I would drop the ship quickly and be done with it. I'll try again. Thanks

[Mr. Hanky]

yeah, there's no quick about it. It takes a TON of breaks to kill the tie fighters in order to take that thing down.

Thanks for the help. I got past it and finished the game. I enjoyed the story. Heard some negative things about the second force unleashed but I'm going to play through and see how it goes anyway.
Thanks again.

For those that are experiencing the blur glitch(hall of mirrors), IT IS possible to bring down the star destroyer without seeing it, on a PC.

The same as all other tutorials on this matter:

#1: destroy the tie fighters(lightning strike worked best for me)
#2: align the star destroyer; the next wave of tie fighters will be upon you within ~30s but do not stop aligning the star destroyer until your health bar is red.

Repeat these steps a few times. The green hue means that the star destroyer has the correct alignment in order to bring it down; so you need to keep the green hue for about 5s and General Kota will tell you to bring it down.

Now this is where it gets tricky.
There will be 2 sequences of buttons you need to press:

#A: S(HOLD) + pull the mouse down.
#B: A(HOLD) + D(HOLD) + move the mouse upwards

#A will take like ~4x longer than #B; you just have play it a few times, you will eventually learn the pattern.


Hope this information will be useful to someone.
