How to Beat the Rancor - Star Wars Jedi Survivor.png

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

Rancor Fight Dodge Tip - Star Wars Jedi Survivor.jpg

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.

Where to Find the Rancor

Mine in Southern Reach

Rancor Location Walkthrough
1
Enter the Mine
In the Southern Reach area, climb up the ledge across the Prospector to find the mine. Climb the pipe in the front to enter it.
2
Remove the Blockade
Create a path by using the force to remove the blockade!
3
Stay on the Higher Path
After removing the blockade, go left and stay on the higher path. You can also get a Priorite Shard on the lower path!
4
Remove Another Blockade
Remove another blockade using Force and go straight ahead!
5
Cross the Bridge
You will encounter a stone structure as you continue the path. Use Force to lower the bridge so you can cross it.
6
Go Towards the Right Path
As you continue, the path will eventually split. Go towards the right to continue. You can get a Sense Echo if you take the left instead.
7
Go Right
After going through a tight space, you can either go right or go left. Take the right to move forward. Going to the left leads you to a chest at the end.
8
Activate the Zipline
As you move forward, you will see a zipline machine. Activate it, but do not ride it, and move on.
9
Rest at a Meditation Point
You will finally reach the area where Rancor is. Make sure to rest at the meditation point first and get the Sense Echo before going in.

This Rancor is a part of the Find Missing Prospectors rumor in Southern Reach.

Phon'Qi Caverns in Koboh

There is another Rancor located in Phon'Qi Caverns in the planet Koboh.

To get to Phon'Qi Caverns, you can teleport to the Mountain Ascent meditation point and head towards Foothill Falls. Once there, go left and cross the pool of water. Use the glider bird nearby to cross to the other side, then use the Force to open the basement entrance on the left side of the building.

Rancor Rewards
