Beating Rayvis w/ Only Crossguard Stance JGM | Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

[@evanbuchanan1006]

All those parries, a strike here and there… patience and timing. Well done

[@ImLLost]

Thanks man :)

[@TO-13]

A true Jedi-like style.)

[@Xellius13]

It’s pretty much the only way to beat him for someone who sucks at parrying as I do. Also force refilling perk is a life saver for throwing saber in his face every 10 secs or so.

[@evanbuchanan1006]

@@Xellius13 and even then you have to time your throws, otherwise you’ll get smoked by his range attacks

[@jerkopatrik]

@@Xellius13 I went the ultimate pussy way: plus one stim perk, stance regen skill and extra stance perk. Also used dual wield so I could cancel my attacks if I mistimed them. Still took a couple tries but it made him much easier to just brute force.

[@chrismantonuk]

Ahhhh man, well done! Crossguard is my favourite stance, so powerful. I can get through the first stage of Rayvis no problem, but then he decimates my stims on the second bit and I run out!

[@Popdatuno]

I'm honestly surprised not that many people use cross guard. I only use it with dual wield for boss fights

[@NasXShady]

🤝 Crossguard and dual wield is the way

[@rohansampat1995]

crossguard is super powerful but people need to be good at souls like to use it. And most people who play this game suck

[@rohansampat1995]

@@NasXShady cross guard double saber is the way.

[@yummykitkatyt4580]

I use it with the blaster stance

[@nickbusker725]

Those are the only two stances I use. Super versatile. Playing on Jedi Master.

[@jdjabs1376]

Finally. The type of crossguard gameplay i have been waiting on. Good stuff

[@xchaoztheory9987]

You can stagger him with the charged basic attack (hold basic attack button). So when there is an opening I like to hit him once, then hold to stagger him (it comed out really quick as well) and then do a third swing for big damage

[@Lickarus]

Crossguard is extremely underrated. It's my favorite stance!

[@rohansampat1995]

its the best stance in the game but people need to know what the yare doing.

[@ij1376]

So CrossGuard stance is the stance of patience it seems.

[@Gabriel-xw2zp]

Bruh i hate the kick attack with the cross guard stance that shit does not even tickle him

[@tookiebowaba421]

This is the stance I used for the rest of the game once I unlocked it.

[@ImLLost]

Me too lol.

[@rodmassacre]

Great job. I've been having a really hard time beating him. MF hits like a truck.

[@osiria391]

just beat him on grandmaster, the tricky thing is getting the parry timing down for his attack strings cause if you get hit he usually stunlocks you

[@rohansampat1995]

@@osiria391 dude the back spin stunlock is so annoying. if you can learn to dodge out of that, you can back out and reset... so great

[@sonofpears4691]

I came with 12 stims and he took all of them and knocked me down to red before I barely beat him

[@TheRealReborn]

I’m surprised crossguard is seen as a challenge, once I got it I always used it on bosses it hits like an AT AT

[@agentalpaca4176]

Fr it's fucking insane. Only downside is that it's bad for crowd control, which means literally any other stance except the single blade pairs well with it

[@appealtoreason7584]

This was the only stance I could beat him with on grandmaster. I tried dual wield and double bladed for so long before finally just saying fuck it and used the crossgaurd. Once I got down the parry times it was smooth sailing through the first stage. Second was still rough for a while but eventually got it down. Only stance I use for him on my NG+

[@pkshowsupnoobsallday]

My brother in christ... i had been trying and failing using duel wield this whole time..... 2nd try with a red cross saber..... it was absolutely insane. And the perk w stims giving u force energy... done deal. Also, using pull max'd out to pull him out of combos was extra helpful.

[@fraughtmonster8]

Just I beat him after like 15 tries today on jedi master. Just parry the shit out of him. I think dual wield is the best because it’s the faster.

[@C4thaBomb]

@@fraughtmonster8 It’s all just about what you’re best with; I beat him on JGM 2nd try using only cross guard

[@ultraviolet540]

Durge was extensively experimented on, that explains why he was tougher to kill than Rayvis, Gen’dai are absolutely insane, but Durge was the finest warrior they ever produced. He’s Star Wars’ analogue to Deadpool or Wolverine.

[@The_D0C70R]

Meanwhile me, despite having a talent for good timing, used the double bladed lightsaber for the whole fight and just dodged all the melee attacks (Grandmaster difficulty). I dealt with the entire first phase by deflecting the blaster fire back and force pushing the missiles. For the second phase I dodged all the melee attacks by double jumping/air-dashing, threw my lightsaber at him periodically mid flip to stop him from regenerating, and deflected blaster fire back (again). I managed to hit him directly by waiting for his unblockable grab (good for two attacks) or force pulling him to break a melee attack chain (good for one attack).

[@djibouti231]

I tried doing it completely with cross guard but I found that using the perfect parry skill with the dual wield helped chip away at him, and then once his stamina was out cross guard was good for big damage

[@ogelpeace4610]

Man I could only beat him on JGM with blaster stance. Good work

[@Schmolakk]

Cross guard is my go to when engaging in boss fights or any sort of big enemy

[@SuzukiC41]

Crossguard for solo, double for groups is the way. Cal is a human helicopter in Jedi Survivor with double

[@XENOS_Indie_Game_Dev]

that beam of light must weigh a ton... oh, it's just his balls weighing him down, got it lol

[@jeffcoyle5742]

Which Crossguard skills did you have equipped? All of them? Nice job you made it look easy.

[@ImLLost]

Lol I did have them all, thanks!

[@Daredevil73722]

You fight better than me😂 and I like crossguard stance 👍🏻

[@CaaaramelApples]

On the bright side, this makes Kylo’s heavy swings in the sequels make a bit more sense but unfortunately Rey has the same problem with a standard saber😂

[@thegrayowl1557]

It's all about the kyber crystal. You have a really unstable crystal (or two in one hilt, in Cal's case), or a really inexperienced duelist, it's going to be more unwieldy

[@captkalik]

The first time I played him on Jedi knight difficulty I couldn’t win with the dual lightsabers so I went full cross guard and won pretty easily, I’m replaying in NG+ now and haven’t gotten up to him yet but I was planning on doing full cross guard on Jedi GM on him, so far I’ve been pretty much playing exclusively cross guard

[@FoundingKushTitan907]

i used crossgaurd and single for every boss fight. duel wield and double bladed for exploring. didnt use the blaster stance too much tbh.

[@20catsRPG]

Much easier to beat him with double bladed stance, it’s Block+Attack is the highest damage attack in the game.

[@FoundingKushTitan907]

i feel for ravis to be the species he is, they really under used him. this should of been like boss fight one where you dice him in two thinking you killed him, only to encounter him again being like what the hell. def would be a shock to people who dont know he can put himself back together, and for a game that added dismemberment…huge wasted opportunity. Still a cool character though and love the game.

[@sonofpears4691]

I used this stance to beat ravis. I came in with full health, 11 stims and the unity perk to get an additional stim and by the end I was in red with 0 stims left. This fucker took 12 stims off of me throughout the fight and I loved it.

[@minikyloreniscracked2797]

İ beat him in gm with 2 stims. At one point i got so frustrated that i developed a strategy to endure hits and not use stims till i was one hp and then get the hp restore thing and go into stage 2 like that and then beat rayvis with dual and blaster stance

[@ryangalvatron4451]

I beat Rayvis by switching to padawan and moving the fuck on.

[@tnasty9209]

I just beat Rayvis with Crossguard…I definitely died at least fifty times 😂

[@nosoreel5556]

I had to master double blade just to protect myself from his blaster fire (in fact, it ended up saving me often times by serving as free damage)

[@KingofPotatoPeople]

I love the Crossguard

[@TheZeitergeist3]

lol I'm not patient enough to use crossguard, but i respect the skill lol

[@loganyates4269]

I fought tooth and nail to beat him with each stance and then finally tried cross guard and beat him with ease. So cross guard def the stance you want in second phase most definitely. It definitely the easiest to beat him with

[@dannyloss4051]

good shit - I had to swap off to dual wield to beat this guy, he's tough!

[@rohansampat1995]

Yo @LLost so you managed to do parries in the harder 2nd phase, but could not parry the first phase? What on earth? what was all that moving about, you can cheese first phase parry easily.

[@darthpakey8496]

True Jedi patience

[@ethanwessel3911]

Patience and conserved attacks. You can't stop your swings to switch to block, so just practice your parry and the enemy will come to you.

[@sevun07]

There's no one way to beat an enemy in this game. I got in close and banged with him with the twin sabers.

[@anthonycobb4867]

I should upload a video of how I dealt with him on grand master. Was easy, used crossguard and Darth maul

[@brothermatatoe]

Nice job bro 😎

[@ImLLost]

Thanks dude

[@garelalexandre3252]

i wonder how many time you fight this guy before that video ahahah

[@lowelo1]

What happened to his health bar?

[@loosegoose2466]

Wow...awesome. i couldnt parry him, just used dodge and dual blade

[@krick_mufc9291]

Im finding crossguard hard to adapt to, any tips?

[@swooshie4749]

don’t sprint and strike because it won’t swing ur lightsaber but cause a flying kick which leaves you vulnerable. wait for the enemy to be stunned or be tired from using a massive attack and then do the massive strike ability. also one of the skill tree abilities has a ranged attack ability. and finally make sure ur using the target lock

[@960456]

Get really comfortable with precision dodging, and jumping during combat. Hitting a dude on the top of his head with the crossguard is usually good

[@krick_mufc9291]

@@960456 yeah slowing my play style has been tough but I'm getting the hang of it

[@960456]

@@krick_mufc9291 I like speed a lot, so my go-to for harder enemies is to break their guard with Dual Wield, and then mollywop them with the Crossguard. Having the Versatility and Shatter perks make this even better.

@@960456 yeah no matter what combo I use it feels incomplete without double blade. It's just so versatile

[@Brandon_Y.]

i beat rayvis on grandmaster too kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3W1Z4SloNypnZY I used dual wield and crossguard with lightsaber throw damage perk and the one that makes your damage go up if you switch stance. those were my main ones. So first phase i really just use Twin Vipers a couple cuz it does take a large chunk if you can get them to take all the Hits with his big body.
