After safely evacuating any surviving Anchorites, Master Junda uploads a drive to BD-1 and instructs the little droid to take it to the Mantis. Before Junda can continue salvaging the Jedi Archives, Darth Vader appears, and an epic battle ensues. Follow this guide to learn how to defeat the Sith Lord, or rather, survive long enough to continue .
New Abilities
While fighting as Master Junda is somewhat similar to fighting as Kestis, the two Jedis employ different tactics. She’sphysically strongerthan Kestis, as her lightsaber strikes deal more damage.
Junda only hasone lightsaber stance, the regular single blade. Her attack combos will favor thequality of hits over quantity.
Instead of slowing time down as a special ability, Jundacreates a protective barrieraround herself and releases the build-up of Force energy toknock away nearby enemies.
This ability worksbest against multiple Stormtroopersbutwon’t be effective against Darth Vader.
Darth Vader: First Phase Attacks
Darth Vader isextremely powerful,and one normal attack by him will inflict about20 percentof Junda’s health, while his unguardable attacks hurt for nearly double that.
Block Vader’s regular attacks and carefully strike him todwindle his block meter. Once you break his block, you may freely attack Vader for a few strikes.
Vader will use the Force topush Junda away from himbut the attack won’t inflict any damage. Throughout the fight, Vader will also use the Force topull Junda toward him and throw a massive fireball of debris.
Vader’s fireball Force attack isunguardable,so you’ll need to dodge to avoid being injured.
Although Vader is famous for using the Force to choke his victims, his hands work just as well. The Sith Lord willattempt to grab you as an unguardable attackthat will inflict a massive amount of damage.
If Junda isn’t at full health, there’s ahigh possibility you will die.
Darth Vader: Second Phase Attacks
After inflicting aboutten percentof Vader’s health, aQuick Time Eventwill occur that ends with Vader pushing Junda back.
Vader is also capable ofthrowing his lightsaberat Junda, but you can block it back to him, and it will damage his block meter.
The Sith Lord will begin adding more attacks to his combos, forcing you toalternate between dodging and blocking.
Junda’s block meter isn’t strong enough towithstand all of Vader’s attacks.
Darth Vader: Third Phase
When Vader’s health drops to about half, another cutscene will trigger that shows Junda using her own powerful Force attack. But that doesn’t faze Vader, and his attackscontinue to grow faster.
Because Junda only hasfour health stims, you need to be extremely cautious moving forward. Vader can inflict asignificant amount of pain in quick successionif you lower your guard or fail to dodge properly.
Other than adding more basic attacks to his repertoire, Vader will also begin usingmore unguardable attacks.
One attack will be himswinging his lightsaber aggressivelyin a wide circle, another will be in anoverhead strike, and another will be anupward slash.
If Vader feels overwhelmed by Junda’s attacks, he willForce slam the ground near him to push you away. He might follow this attack up by throwing a fireball at you, so quickly get up and be prepared to dodge right away.
Junda can also Force slam Vader tomomentarily disable him,but it won’t be enough time to land a direct hit on him. You can use this technique toguarantee a hit on his block meter.
Darth Varder: Final Phase And QTE
Another Quick Time Event will occur when Vader’s health bar isnearly depleted. Continue dodging and striking when you can until a final cutscene is triggered that shows Master Junda ultimately falling to the Sith Lord.
