Unfortunately I know of no developer balsy enough to make enemies actually able to damage each other when attacking you. Imagine if the AI was coded in such a way that makes the enemies always try to attack from angles that don't include their allies. Not only would that be much more interesting, it would make bodyblocking an enemy with their companion a viable strategy, which is actually a thing in real life combat. Imagine if the intended strategy for dealing with a large group of mobs was baiting them into a chokepoint, how cool that would be. I will rejoice the day gamedevs decide to see this kind of mechanic through.

Thing is in Survivor enemies can target, shoot and kill each other as well, and they do in the open areas, but in these side bosses they don't ever seem to have any sort of friendly fire. Probably related to how these areas often pool together enemies that would normally attack each other?

For some reason, the devs prioritize following through with your combo over the finisher move, so when you see the finisher indicator, wait for Cal to enter his neutral position, then attack.

[@thedarksaber]

To anyone who tries this boss. The force parry thing that you can buy with skill points is a MUST HAVE for this fight. It literally saved me so many times during the fight. It's called focused sight in the survival "resilence" tree but basically you hold Circle or B while standing still and he'll do the automatic dodge like the ninth sister did at the end of her fight. It automatically dodges every attack from the rancors except the aoe attacks. So, IF THEY SPAM THE UNBLOCKABLE GRAB CAL DODGED BOTH. Literally makes the boss fight 10x more enjoyable. Hope I helped

[@bobjohnson2775]

This is how I did it. Took me like 5 or 6 tries to get it down. I also noticed that even though they can both move at once only one of them actually attacks you at a time. Just keep backing up and attacking after each one attacks. Also, light saber throws.

[@bobjohnson2775]

Also this one at a time mechanic makes it actually easier to fight two than one imo since you can more easily get space since there’s a slight “activation” delay and one of them rarely does consecutive attacks when there’s both. I kept killing one, making the other super aggro. But both of them together were pretty chill. Same w the frogs. Playing on normal difficulty tho so maybe something changes on higher levels

This fight is the biggest and most frustrating thing I’ve faced and it took me forever to nail down a strategy to actually win. Had to use the perk where it gives you a small amount of super, intentionally take damage and pray that when I do, the other didn’t finish me off and kill me. This fight is something else

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

The hold dual saber throw (the last skill in that tree) can fill the super very quickly. I also use that perk you said and both perks that boost damage, including the one that increases damage taken. The down side is that it takes too long to recover from that throw so I died a lot from the insta kill grab.

[@officerspider7996]

@@eduardoarmenta9232 I used the Blaster stance and the duel wield because I can actually move when I throw the saber and usually if I’m lucky I can get both. Using the single throw with the throw boost perk is good because the Blaster Damage brings up the force meter and the damage you take also fuels the force. It’s a lot of Patience, trial and error. You can especially get greedy when it comes to taking Damage to fuel the super but I’m happy to say that I beat them both on the second to hardest difficulty. Harder than the oggdo fight since you can’t cancel their animation with the blaster

[@1Xaria]

I think one part of the move set that is super useful against Rancors is the normal jump attack. It's fast even on the cross guard stance and is perfect for hitting the Rancor's head when they are in a neutral position when a grounded attack wouldn't hit their body. You can use that move to get an extra hit or a safe punish when most attacks would be a bad idea. Your naturally safer from most of their attacks then you are on the ground and if you keep your dash for after your attack or to react to them, then it's pretty safe.

[@billthedoritoguy4770]

If you play on GM, equip the perk that lets you do but also take more damage. The taking more damage part makes no difference against the oneshot move and I found that attacks that do not oneshot you, won't do it even with the perk equipped (and you need to heal after getting hit anyways). Also equip the one that gives you extra damage on lightsaber throws and maybe even the one that gives you damage after using force attacks or after switching lightsaber stance. The longer the fight takes, the higher the risk of f'ing up a crucial dodge, so glass cannon build is the way to go.
