Second Area, Third Level -- This is ridiculous

[LSD]

Playing on the third difficulty, and this is impossible.

I'm on the last Artus level, where you meet the ATSTs, and it's physically impossible to proceed. I take the lift up, and then when i get on the turret, i'm instantly getting rocketed by the ATST down below. Once i take it out, i only have a tiny bit of health left for the gun, and if the stormtroopers shooting at me don't destroy the turret, then it's nowhere near enough HP to take out the second ATST.

I've looked at videos, and everyone else's first ATST moves really slowly. Mine's always there right below the gun turret, shooting before i'm even on it.

What the hell am i supposed to do?

I managed it ONE TIME when the first ATST bugged and didn't shoot, but then another wave of troopers shot me dead...

Does the game get easier when i get a lightsaber? Because if it doesn't, i'm probably gonna find myself sat there poking my head out of corners shooting people with the same crappy blaster rifle for the whole game because running in = death.

Really can't be ársed to restart the whole game either.
:(

Finally managed it. The Stormtroopers do insane damage to the gun, and as soon as you walk out there, 3-4 of them on the walkway start shooting at you, and 4 other guys come out on the ground to fight.
I just sat there near the lift shooting them with a blaster until the second ATST appeared. Not certain, but it seems like the first ATST doesn't damage you if you put your back to it when you're in the turret.

Just got my lightsaber, and fights are still pretty un-fun. Think i'm probably gonna have to restart.

Was and still is a pretty difficult game if played on the higest difficulties. Jedi Academy on the other hand was extremely easy minus some fights against dark jedi.

Have you tried...i dunno...reading the thread? Even just skim reading it?

Game will be easier when you get fast lightsaber style and higher litghsaber defence. On Jedi Knight/Jedi Master difficulty enemies are using more lethal technics - all stormtroopers use burst fire, snipers are powering shoots to desintegrate you with one hit, and there is more reborn (dark jedi) in some places, and often with higher ranks.

I always find hard to complete maining facility (level 3) and detention center (level 4). Beginning is pretty easy. Some hard moments are when you are leaving Nar Shadda and have to protect the ship.

It can be difficult, but I prefer this than Jedi Academy style. In JA it's to easy to use some special attack without necessery timing from Jedi Outcast (like crouch + attack in fast lightsaber style) and addition of combos is just easy way to win.

I actually went back after i got to the bar fight, and restarted on medium.
Hard was too hard, but medium turned out to be a bit too easy. Was a bit of a shame, since the game turned out to be really fantastic. The difficulty is a bit off, for sure.

Shame Academy isn't anywhere near as good, though :(

Side note: for anyone else stuck here, i've seen a few videos of people on higher difficulties lure the ATST through the canyon, then sprint back, go up the lift, and get on the gun. Gives you a few extra seconds before it starts pounding you.

Playing on Jedi Knight/Jedi Master difficulty is better because it's more fun when you enqounter more force users. In most fights there is additional one reborn.

I know my opinion isn't valid, I played this game so many times - but still have some hard moments on jedi master difficulty without lightsaber and force to use.
