How to Beat the Rancor

The Rancor is a legendary enemy encountered during the Find Missing Prospectors rumor in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Read on to learn more about tips for the Rancor fight, the Rancor's location, and rewards from beating it!

How to Beat the Rancor

Dodge Instead of Blocking Its Attacks

The Rancor has several heavy unblockable attacks that makes blocking ineffective during the fight. Thankfully, these attacks are slow which gives you enough reaction time to dodge them instead.

Lunge Attack & Earth Smash

A few of its unblockable moves have long range such as its Lunge Attack and Earth Smash. Be careful when it swings its arms back or above its head and turns red. Avoid dodging backwards since it can likely still reach you, so dodge to the side instead.

After dodging these moves, you will have an opening to throw a few attacks in while the Rancor recovers. Make sure to back off once it gets back on its feet to avoid getting hit.

Use Slow as Much as Possible

Using the Slow ability gives you an opening to attack the Rancor safely. Most of the Rancor's moves, aside from the ground stomp, are slow and front-facing. This means that you can go behind or to the side of the Rancor during the slow to attack it without much risk.
