3 Tips:
Parrying is not an optional mechanic.
Press your dodge button without moving to do a standing dodge. Same but much faster recovery and you stay in place.
Use force push to parry unblockable attacks.
4 play on story mode, best experience
@@Svol09 If you're bad enough to need journalist mode, you probably shouldn't be playing video games.
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly Or you know, story mode. You want to play for the story.
@@Photo0021 The story is amazing. But also I'm playing a video game, so I'm also there for the gameplay. Which is also pretty good.
I think difficulty settings need to stop existing in general. All games should be experienced as intended.
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly Difficulty settings only affect the person playing the game. They bought the game with their money and they should be able to experience it however they please, even if that means playing it at a lower difficulty. I'm sure that a developer would rather have someone enjoy playing the game on a lower difficulty rather than having them play a game and hate it at a higher difficulty.
Personally Jedi master is the perfect difficulty plus the charm from new game plus where it makes the encounters more difficult is amazing
I played Jedi Master on my first run for the game 50% of the game was fun and the other 50% I truly hated myself It was hard and sometimes made no sense
@@Wolfkiller-iv1qk now try grandmaster. most bosses if you dont flawless will one shot or 2 shot you
@@nukenade4623 did my first play through on master, no real struggles except for spoiler boss. Decided to check out ng+ on grandmaster with the updated enemy packs. Holy shit is that hard. Miyazaki would be proud.
I’m currently playing grand master with all of the damage multipliers for both me and the foe. You can guess how that is going 😂
@@sasukeking4521 how much hair is left on your head?
Playing through on grand master is definitely all about patience and knowing what you can get away with with which enemies
Idk fighting a rancor on that difficulty isn't fun tho xD
@@DarkUltima999 Its all about getting those parry chains off to build force meter and then sneaking in one or two hits when you can. Like Brady said. Its all about that patience, that being said I can understand that pace of combat being, understandably, unfun for some people.
@@DarkUltima999 also once you have the force dash, use that to escape heavy attacks. or just be goated with perfect evades. Always felt the long range of the force dash to be more effective though.
@@adonispiper463 same
@@DarkUltima999 I played about 20 hours before going to Rancor on grand master and had to dial back to master for his fight, struggle lol
Played fallen order NG+ on Grand Master, Trilla was a blast
The best thing about double lightsaber is if you upgrade it you can deflect almost all shots without loosing stamina. On grandmaster I was constantly switching between dual and double, for close and range combats, and perk that deals more damage after switch probably should've helped me, but I went all into force slow - filling it using stims, healing while using slow and healing by killing enemies during slow.
Double blade and 2 wield is really fun to use. That's what I've been using
double and dual has been my go to the entire game. double is just so good for damage and defense especially when dealing with hordes or multiple strong enemies (spawn of oggdo + oggdo boggdo fight)
Nobody asked
@@haiz768 *hater alarm*
@@Phlegnut19 Yeah, bro a little racist with it too. His other comments are just him hating and calling white people trash lol
I'd love to see customizable difficulty. I'd like to keep the parry timing forgiving and the enemy damage low, but have the enemy aggression on maximum.
Thats just stupid
The Guardians of The Galaxy game (super underrated imo) did this and the level of customization was vast.
It would be cool giving Cal one HP so you could practice a Perfect Parry run. Or just making Cal a juggernaut badass.
That way the game would be more realistic in terms of saber damage but not super easy too
Yeah that would be cool
I'm playing on Jedi Grandmaster. First few areas where a pain but then i started using my saber and force abilities better and my parry timing is pretty spot on. Me personally I've always enjoyed playing on higer difficulties. But, we all have our own personal preferences, so just have fun gaming your own way.
I started tje game on grand Master and it was so punishing, starting the game without the abilities unlocked really tested me. Made the game more meaningful because I really had to focus to win. Ended up using the single Sabre stance, I'm gonna replay using dual and blaster
That’s exactly how it is for me. I love difficult games, they are so much more rewarding. I love having to learn the patterns of enemies, who I have to eliminate first, and actually having to put the plan into action. It take so much more patience, and it truly tests your skill.
Yeah exactly man. I totally understand the concept of wanting a less challenging experience to play the game as a way to relax. For me though, I think I’ve accepted that I’m just a masochist💀 the pain of defeat and anger/obsessive desire to be better that comes with it is relaxing to me, I’ve been coming home from work and getting my butt kicked to unwind😂 in the words of Pervy the Purge Trooper, “MORE! GIVE ME MORE!”
I play on the Jedi master difficulty, and still some boss fights feel too easy, but others are just right. Also the spike of difficulty from Jedi master to Jedi grandmaster is way too harsh in my opinion.
Yeah, Fallen Order had a much smoother transition. Here Grandmaster feels more like trolling people with overwhelming bullshit.
Agreed. Jedi Master feels like just the right amount of challenge. Except some of the beasts, the Rancor gave me more trouble than any story boss so far (I'm part way through my second visit to Jedha). Tague Louesh was my most recent boss. He was fun, if a bit easy.
Something I've noticed over the years is that flexible difficulty ranges like this or like in Skyrim are meant more for the type of experience you want. From a roleplay perspective, it would almost be more accurate to reverse the naming scheme: A Grand Master would make everything look effortless, and a Padawan would struggle but the most determined will win out.
or it could be like "this difficulty is something a padawan could deal with" or "this difficulty will take a grand master to deal with"
Grand master played well really does look like a grand master is doing it. It encourages flawless gameplay with tight timings and liberal and expert usage of all your abilities.
@@adonispiper463 i agree. I think having to be precise like that is how it's meant to be. I get some people wanna chill, so thats why thers mega easy mode. But canonically, grandmaster seems the most accurate. Dude is a beast. Yeah you got one shot, you do in real life too. Don't get hit! I'll def be playing on grandmaster.
I'm a f*in grandmaster baby
I really wish there was more difficulty customization. I want a “realistic” mode, where enemies are super aggressive and stuff, and do way more damage, but Cal also does way more damage because he has a freaking lightsaber. I just started on grand master. That rancor made me wonder if that one dude in Return of the Jedi really cared about his pet. No way that thing wasn’t severely malnourished or something.
I hadn’t beat the game yet when I left this comment. Purity perk is torture. Careful what you wish for I guess. I love it.
New game plus gives you a perk that does just this.
New game plus gives you a perk that I like to dub "lore accurate mode." Basically, it will make you kill most enemies in one or two hits, but Cal also dies in only one or two hits as well. It's brutal.
@@xxhobocatxx2869 Well that's great news! I want more challenge, but I really dislike the feeling that I'm wielding a glowing pool noodle when enemies just tank their way through all my hits.
@@graysontowler136 Gamer discovers something called "game balance" for the first time.
I’m going to sound like a super Star Wars geek but I remember reading Tales of Jabbas Palace & the 1st short story was about the guy who owned the Rancor. He just wanted it as a pet but Jabba kept putting dangerous this in its cage to test it. We all know how that ended
The higher difficulty I play, the more I lean towards double bladed. With so many blaster bolts coming at you and your party window being so small it’s nice to only have to deflect one to deflect all of them. Then swap to double blade or cross guard to clean up who is left depending on what I expect to be coming up against
I've found the larger force push to be exceptional at disabling groups of shooters while you close distance for cover or get some cuts in on a heavy enemy.
Only problem is double side deals to little damage. I played double bladed on first playthrough because of the easier parry, but now on NG+ on GM I play mostly dual wield and dodge more than I parry, wearing enemies' block down with fast attacks.
I played through the whole game on Grandmaster with the dual-sabers and blaster stance and I thought it was fun as hell lol
I think we all love daily bombastic
Ye

I think Master is the perfect balance between a rewarding challenge and still being playable without raging.
until you meet a Rancor
JM or GM?
@@baku5835 high ground wins. Shoot and throw.
I love the fact that the game doesn't punish you for lowering the difficulty (no difficulty trophy/achievement).
I'm playing on Jedi Master and if Im having problems with the Bosses; just plop the difficulty to Story, be done with it and back to Jedi Master. No point it stressing myself with multiple game overs. Also, the game is pretty generous with Shortcuts and Meditation Spots so dying is not a hassle.
Grandmaster usually is most difficult when there is a strong enemy in a big group of enemies. That is the mode I am currently on and have been using blaster stance with the dual wield stance. They pair really well together. Great video btw!
make use of your force push to counter big guys unblockable attacks.

Advice from someone who is playing on grandmaster, the double lightsaber is pretty much a necessity you should always be using it when your facing a group
Oh. I only use crossguard and the blaster. It’s too sexy but new game plus, I’ll try other shit.
Me playing on grandmaster using daul wield and blaster
While double blade does good damage and makes groups a pushover, it and crossguard leaves you to open to enemy attacks
I use nothing but dual blade and blaster. dual blade is the only saber stance that can block multiple blaster shots back at enemies with only one press of the block button.
@@dannyberry8725 not to mention once you get that sweet stun bullet for the gun.
As soon as I got dual wield I never used that stance again lmao
Playing on Jedi grandmaster and your def right about having to learn certain enemies move types before even coming close to beating them.
Yeah even on master you definetly had to learn patterns.But the bosses were completely unbalanced.some were ez first try and others took me multiple tries. But i'm definetly playing on grandmaster after exams
@@Ehrenlord yeah it’s crazy even some regular hits will take you out in one go. It’ll be a 3 move jab and if you get hit with the first it locks you in a stun so you can’t even avoid the other 2 and end up dying without being able to pop a stimmy
@@MenacetheProblem yeah i hated it, when i literaly spammed the stim Button and it wouldn't heal me
@@Ehrenlordcan’t wait to play after exams, I’ve been holding off because I gotta secure the A grades lol.
@@Enoo_ i just played the whole weekend and got it to 100%. So i can focus on exams now
Blaster stance was a life saver on Grand Master. Dealing damage from far away is the best way to go about playing on that difficulty.
me who prefers to barrel stuff the enemies, then shoot
Jedi master was the best difficulty to me. it was challenging but still allowed you freedom to mess around with the mechanics. Grand Master is doable but you really start to feel limited with what you can do as you have to rely on certain stances and abilities.
Nice video Bombastic, keep up the good work and thank you for not spoiling the game for us who aren't able get the game yet in these videos.
Don’t click on the vid if you don’t want spoilers you dummy😂😂
The difficulty is also shown on the HUD. In the bottom left where the d-pad buttons are shown, there is a dot in 1(2 if Grandmaster) of the 4 corners. Lowest starts top left and goes CW from there with grandmaster having 2 dots top right and bottom left

wow thanks i never would have known that
As someone who did a 100% run of fallen order on grand master and is only now getting properly stuck on Rayvis phase 2 (I can do phase 1 hitless in about a minute at best now but phase 2 has so much to learn) but still considers himself “decent”, hearing Jedi Palawan being called a fun challenge definitely boosted my ego
Saaaame his phase 1 was so fine but then 2 phase and no chance for me but maybe will work tomorrow XD
agreed, i played through fallen order on knight then went back and 100% on GM, now i’m doing my first run of Survivor on Master, can’t wait to run it again on GM i think it’ll be super fun
I played the first few hours on Jedi Knight, but ultimately switched to Padawan as I began to explore more. If I wanted challenging combat alone, there are dozens of Souls-like games out there that I could go play, but the joy in playing Jedi Survivor (at last to me) comes from being immersed in the world and characters around you. Padawan difficulty seems to provide that while still making the combat fun and presenting a decent challenge when it matters (ie boss fights).
Agreed. I found even padawan challenging on some bosses. NG+ I'm trying with Jedi Knight
I agree, I'm more of a story person when it comes to any Star Wars game, so I think I will play on Padawan as well...I do want a little challenge.
Are you guys paralyzed or something? The game isn't that hard
Story mode: You are a Jedi Grandmaster
Padawan: You are a Jedi Master
Jedi Knight: You are a Jedi Knight
Jedi Master: You are a Padawan
Jedi Grandmaster: You are a Stormtrooper
Soooooo glad to hear I’m not alone in wanting to play on the Padawan difficulty. I was playing Jedi knight, but it wasn’t fun. It was annoying, and I couldn’t seem to get the parry right. Padawan let’s me not get so involved in the fight and I can step back and learn.
Bro i played on grandmaster
I started with grandmaster and personally, I used some of the force powers but it was mostly about picking off your opponents from ranged to melee or from weakest to strongest with lightsaber attacks. I was using duel wield and blaster stances.

Played through on Jedi Knight mode just because it felt right since Cal's a knight. It was certainly a grind, but had some pretty satisfying kills. (thats only when the damned game wouldn't crash though)
I just finished a run on fallen order on Jedi master so I felt good about my first survivor play through being on Jedi knight. It’s about what I expected. Not so challenging that I’m frustrated but not so easy I feel invincible.
I played Fallen Order on Story Mode cuz the harder difficulties where too challenging. Now that I got better I play Jedi Survivor on Jedi Knight difficulty level, just feels appropriate and actually I‘m doing ok. Tho during the boss fight with 9th sister I died like 6 times probably before killing her. 😂 But still more rewarding. You actually need to strategize and get better at dodging and parrying.
I don’t think I‘ll ever be good enough to play on the even harder difficulties.😅
I only played fallen order on Jedi master and well. It was all fine untill boss battles. Ogodobogodo 1 shot me. 9th sister killed me all the time. And so on. I wanna play the game but my pc just crqshes
If you died 6 times to the 9th sister, you might wanna lower it. Some of the later story bosses get WAY harder
@@croucha1r237 oggdo boggdo is really easy even on grandmaster once you’ve done a play through. The only reason he’s hard is because of how early on he is. Once you’re used to the game, he’s not really much of a threat
My first playthrough of Fallen Order was on Knight and I remember having a hard time and just like you thinking that I wouldn't be able to play on the higher dificulties but I got the story and when I came back to replay the game I played on Master and %100 the game since then I played it a couple more times and every single one of these playthroughs were on Grand Master. Just don't worry enjoy and play the game and you eventually will be able to easily get through on Grand Master. I got a PS5 for my birthday a few days ago and I started playing Jedi Survivor on Grand Master and it has been a blast, just remember you are playing as a Jedi so think and act like one, choose a stance that suits you and play to your and your stances strenghts.
I found the drop down from grandmaster to master was surprising, GM was hard core af, the moment you get surrounded by more than four or five enemies you need to be absolutely perfect with your dodge and parry. Master was a breeze after trying and failing at that lol
Fr, it feels like you take half as much damage and you don’t even have to try to parry attacks
I think the crossguard stance makes higher difficulties more manageable. The blaster deflect does way more damage than the other stances, and it definitely helps quite a bit.
Crossguard just feels too slow in my opinion. That may be because I heavily used dual wield, so going from the fastest stance straight to the slowest stance requires a big shift in play style.
@@FlyingPenguin196 it’s definitely different but my lord I just love how brutal and hefty it feels and once you have the timing down it’s so much fun to use and has some of the best executions IMO
I felt the exact opposite; I thought the crossguard was dogshit on Grandmaster. It's way too slow and almost every enemy in the game can attack and stagger you in the time it takes to wind up an attack with the thing
The different stances make an incredible difference when it comes to difficulty. Crossguards especially for those big heavy hitting bosses is a must
Not enough people talk about this: Jedi Grandmaster gives enemies more or newer attacks and mix ups. For example, the B2 droids get an unblockable shot at the end of their blaster combo that they can throw in sometimes. It only happens on Grandmaster.
Also spawn of oggdo is a good one to look at to see the difference between aggression in the two difficulties. In grandmaster it leaves an even smaller window to attack than master, and that was enough for me to have to bump it down to master. At grandmaster I felt like I couldn't ever get a are for it reliably, on master it was technically doable.
(I did it on master with dual blades early in the game)
As someone forcing themselves to beat it on grandmaster, i thought the b2s were some of the hardest regular enemies xD their combos are NASTY
@@tarkelson2457 yes! They were such a pain in GM. They have such little down time between attacks and if you are fighting anyone else at all at the same time it is so incredibly oppressive.
There's a part where you go through a gauntlet of so many a B1 droids with bode and at the end when you turn the corner there are 3 B2s surrounded by a bunch of B1s...
Often GM is about playing defensively and creating an opening, but for that part my only gameplan was sprint straight in there, group pull everyone, L1 + square crossguard cleave attack, then hope for the best to clean it all up. So stressful lol
I like the Jedi Knight difficulty because it's punishing enough to force you into a specific playstyle which ultimately results in the most satisfying combat sequences. But it's not horribly punishing, it's the fun mode, we're having fun.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to play on that difficulty. I started to think I was just terrible at the game. Jedi Knight feels perfect for me because I don't get too overwhelmed when fighting a room full of enemies but it does give me a challenge.
@@jujuking6079I’m playing on Jedi knight still took me an hour till kill rayves
@@shovelface6874 Dude same, I also struggled with bode
Playing games on harder difficulty is just so much more rewarding though! And you get more out of the game if you play it difficult 😊
Agreed i play on jedi master dificulty for my first run will do grandmaster on the second
@@TheArne959imma do GM on the first play through because I found JFO way too easy even on GM
This isn't universally true for everyone, a lot of people enjoy the exploration/puzzle solving elements more than the combat, most of the time difficulty only affects the combat in games. I often find myself wishing I could up the puzzle difficulty in games as I often find them to be a bit easy to figure out.
@@MrVisualHigh I agree with the original commenter more, higher difficulty means you have to engage with the game combat at a much more deeper level. The combat in itself becomes a puzzle at higher difficulties, target prioritization and combat tactics are needed to actually be able to wiz through encounters.
I also enjoy some difficult platforming and puzzling but making actual difficult platforming isn’t very easy and puzzles are usually very hit or miss. Only certain games can make difficult puzzles without making them annoying, for example BOTW and Portal.
These are blanket statement for most games that are action based with puzzles and platforming but strongly apply to JFO and Survivor.
@@MrVisualHigh but why would someone not play a jedi game for the combat lol
I’ve beaten Sekiro numerous times to the point I perfect most bosses in it, I did a no death Grand Master run of Fallen Order, and Grand Master in this game is still giving me Hell. Seriously, Grand Master is BRUTAL.
Playing through on Grandmaster is definitely all about patience and knowing what you can get away with which enemies I'm playing on Jedi Grandmaster. The first few areas were a pain but then I started using my saber and force abilities better and my parry timing is pretty spot on. Personally, I've always enjoyed playing on higher difficulties. But, we all have our own personal preferences, so just have fun gaming your own way. I found the drop-down from grandmaster to master surprising, GM was hardcore af, the moment you get surrounded by more than four or five enemies you need to be absolutely perfect with your dodge and parry. Master was a breeze after trying and failing at that lol Fr, it feels like you take half as much damage and you don’t even have to try to parry attacks Played through on Jedi Knight mode just because it felt right since Cal's a knight. It was certainly a grind, but had some pretty satisfying kills. (that's only when the damned game wouldn't crash though) The difficulty is also shown on the HUD. In the bottom left where the d-pad buttons are shown, there is a dot in 1(2 if Grandmaster) of the 4 corners. The lowest starts top left and goes CW from there with the grandmaster having 2 dots on top right and bottom left Whenever I’m playing on grandmaster, I find it much easier to use a defensive stance such as the crossgaurd of double saber. It really helps prevent your block meter from running out too fast Playing on the higher difficulties I found the double-blade stance to be very useful against ranged attacks I feel like for Grandmaster, dual wield and cross guard are gonna be the move. Dual wield for just running around killing enemies, cross guard for those situations where your block is being drained quickly
I started with Grandmaster and personally, I used some of the force powers but it was mostly about picking off your opponents from ranged to melee or from weakest to strongest with lightsaber attacks. I was using duel wield and blaster stances.
I played on Jedi Master and mainly just struggled on boss fights, but there were some heavy enemies that gave me a run for my money until I learned their patterns more.
Super battle droids we’re annoying lol
@@christianaleman5903 Super Battle Droids (at least in groups) and Sentry Droids are a PAIN imo.
I played on Master until I got to Rayvis....After over an hour of being stuck on his second phase, I gave in and turned it down to Knight 😂
you can have 2 stances at the ready specifically to switch them according to scenarios(usually 1 for AoE, 1 for strong single target), Ive been playing on GrandMaster diff from the start here is what I learned:
-invest into blaster deflect skill on your sabers! crossguard makes the shot explode on target for good dmg and knock back, single can split 1 blaster shot into 2 and reflect it at 2 enemies I think, but I always use double sided blade for large groups and many shooters, its skill means that deflecting a minigun trooper will aim some shots at enemies around him and not only him, it has great AoE attacks that hit all around you and no matter how many blaster shots come at you if you parry the first one and hold the button you will parry all of them for a certain period of time, it doesnt only work on minigun troopers(like the game shows you at the start) but also on large groups(always try to get rid of ranged units first)
-dodging with no directional input is great! there is also a force dodge ability early in the skill tree, you spend force meter overtime while holding it and chunks of force meter every hit you dodge but it dodges even red attacks like grabs
-enemy colours are a hint, pay attention, for example in this clip with bounty hunters, one of them rolls away when you parry the blaster at them and they turn blue, blue means vulnerable to force, if you pull that enemy you will staggers them and give yourself a DPS window, another tip is there is a big animal on koboh that turns blue before attacking with a sideroll, push him to tip him over for another window of attack
-learn to parry standard attacks, yes it takes practice and remembering attacks for every enemy but parrying an attack CHUNKS the shit out of enemy block meter and doesnt spend yours at all, like with normal block, parrying trivializes many encounters and I would call it even mandatory for some enemies(like phase 2 Rayvis)
-also the frog, Ogdo Bogdo is back for revenge with a secret encounter where you fight not 1 but 2 frogs, took me 2h15min to defeat them on Jedi GM...
Jedi Master was my sweet spot and really helped me hone in on my own personal skills. I spent a TON of time squaring up against single enemies and intentionally not trying to attack to learn their move sets and how to react until I could successfully engage them while taking zero damage between a combination of parries, precision dodges and general footwork. These things absolutely matter, but so does knowing which saber stances to use and when to use them most effectively. I personally rolled with a Cross-guard main and a double-bladed for swarms.
Jedi master is the perfect balance between difficulty and immersion to me, the grandmaster one is doable but just less fun, you feel way too fragile. Maybe if cal's damage output was higher okay, but it feels like hitting enemies with a wooden stick.
Love the content man keep up the great work! Your videos are always so fun to watch
I've been playing through on Grand Master. Its all about tactics. Being able to out parry or out dodge your opponents is of course useful, but almost every encounter will have all enemies swarming you at once. Knocking them off ledges or confusing them is the best way to take off the pressure. Also i use push to interupt unblockables, or pull an enemy and hold them to shield myself from blaster fire and preserve my block meter.
Like a masochist i dove straight in on Grand Master. That said, I had to turn it down to Master for the second Dagan fight, because i was having a really tough time with that one on GM. The parry timing difference is really noticeable.
I also have to say I noticed a bjg difference in enemy aggression on GM over Master, but only because of a specific trial you can find on the moon area where you have to defeat 150 battle droids. On GM, you are constantly swarmed and attacked by multiple at the same time, although its very manageable with the AOE of the double sided sabre. Turning it down to Master, I noticed I'd only get attacked by a couple of droids at a time, and the rest keot their distance until they could fill the gaps.
I've been playing on Grandmaster, and so far, being a decent chunk into the second Jedha mission, the hardest battle has been Dagan. It took me around 2.5 to 3 hours
Oh shit, im playing the same difficulty and thought he was the easiest beating him on the first try using no force powers and the single blade. The hardrst for me was definitely spawn of oggdo but even 9th sisyer was harder than dagan
@@CallumClifton The only reason I managed to beat spawn of Oggdo is because I heard he was a completely insane boss that a ton of people struggled with, and I saw a video where someone force pulled the hammer raiders down and then baited them into the pit to whittle it down, so I just did that
If it’s taking you that long on Dagan, I seriously suggest dropping the difficulty. My first Dagan fight took me maybe 3 or 4 tries on Grandmaster. The second fight with Dagan took a few more (maybe 7-10ish). If you are taking that long on Dagan, you will not be able to reasonably beat Rayvis, I’m warning you now
@@CallumClifton Dagan isn’t too bad once you get into a groove but come on he isn’t THAT easy. 9th sister was mindlessly easy even on grandmaster
@WallFork I think the only reason it took me that long is mostly because when I was fighting him I wasn't being strategic enough about it, I was watching for an opening, but I was still being somewhat mindless about it, once I really actually started paying attention to his patterns and deciding when to attack and when not to, I got it done in a few tries, Dagan definitely made me realize that I can't just wait for openings and hope for the best on Grandmaster
As someone who plays the grandmaster difficulty, the dt sentry Droid has become the bane of my existence
It looks insane, getting almost one shot by a basic enemy lmao
Feel like doing a knight or padawan run for the story once and getting all the skills up and then doing a game + on max difficulty is the way to go.
@@CutiePi Defs do Palawan or knight for the first time threw if u want to focus on the story lol. I made the mistake of starting on grandmaster and it got frustrating when I wanted to know the next part of the story
@@graniteonfire1279 I haven't started the new game yet, I'm doing replay on fallen order hehe.
@@CutiePi well Goodluck to u then, also, I've found that survivor is actually more difficult than fallen order so be prepared lol
@@graniteonfire1279 Oh no 😱
Played it on Jedi Grandmaster save for some boss battles where I felt the one shotting was a bit too annoying, where I bumped it down to Master.
What I really like about those difficulties is that you really do have to use your entire arsenal... and it just feels so satisfyingly cinematic.
Have BD hack one of the droids from afar, use confusion, slash some guys fling one of those flying sentry droids into the enemies, pulling in a gatling gun trooper flip him around have him
shoot at guys, take a shield and throw it at some other guys, blaster shots etc.
One thing that I felt is necessary is the change of
lightsaber stance depending on the enemies. The bounty hunters become a lot more easy with a double bladed saber with the "reflect all shots" ability for example.
on grandmaster, I've found force confussion super usefull, especially in early stages of the game, before unlocking all of the new powerful force abilities and saber skills. for example fire troopers are perfect for confusion, because one of them can wipe out half a squad easily. or that one encounter in the mountains on Koboh with 2 bilemaws. you can mind trick one of them, while they are fighting, they'll probably trigger shiverpedes into fighting with them. a few points into force push can win almost every encounter with mogus or other heavier units. a lot of them are placed near drops, and instead of fighting you can push enemies out of the arena. later in the game, push-resistant enemies, even mini-boses, could be lifted and pushed out of the arena easily.
I’ve been trudging through this on grandmaster… this is way harder than the first game, by a mile. One of the toughest games I’ve ever played! Really rewarding to finally get past the challenging parts, and that’s why I do it to myself lol
Agreed the combat feels much much harder than the first one
You’re not alone. I regularly perfect Sword Saint Isshin in Sekiro but Dagan Gera’s second fight (which I did with 9 stims) left me with no stims and one step on a Lego brick away from death when I beat him. Definitely made it feel more fair when he left instead of conjuring up the typical “get back here, I could kill you right now!” reaction that most people experience when they beat a boss but they escape.
@@thegrapethief5514 yeah I knew this game was no joke after getting stun-locked and instakilled by two chickens (more than once). I actually had to give up on two of the force tear battles (the two giant frogs, and the one with the three apex creatures). I don’t usually give up, but I don’t think it’s actually possible for me to win those fights on grandmaster difficulty.
@@kevinbradley8613 I may or may not have switched difficulties on those specifically just so I could get the skill points. One frog was bad enough, 2 is insane. What’s worse, I hadn’t even beaten the Gorocco Matriarch and The Mire Terror when I found that one.
@@thegrapethief5514 😂 likewise… I’ve never had to lower the difficulty to get past a boss until this game. Maybe I’m just getting slow in my old age. I’m proud to say I got through all the main story on grandmaster though. Stupidly hard game! The janky frame rate on the ps5 doesn’t help either
Jedi Master is the best for me. Except for a couple of points where the game got quite challenging, it was a lot of fun to take encounters seriously. I'd say the game pushes you to rely more on the parry and precision evade than the force powers, which are more like finishing moves or to get out of tight spots.
I am doing Jedi master on my first play through. I have a lot of expierence with fallen order because I 100 percented on grandmaster. Jedi master is a overall good difficulty besides the rancor fight witch I did WAYYY early and It took me 30 minute. For me that’s a lot 😂
I played Jedi Palawan for my play through, occasionally turning it to story for some of the harder boss fights. However, today I was noticing that enemies were particularly easy, I thought it was just that I was really powerful from levelling up. I check the difficulty and turns out I forgot to turn it off story for a good few hours, like 5 or so. I was very annoyed when I found this out, thankfully I was just getting the collectibles at the end of the game
Still on my first play through. Playing on Jedi Master. Having a lot of fun. No real brick walls that stopped me for a while but plenty of challenge.
I reckon you could program a game difficulty that is literally impossible to win at (keeping the impossibility a secret) and people would still comment how ‘easy’ it is or gloating with some bs tips..
Enemies were dealing that much damage not just because of the difficulty, but because you used the dual light sabers the whole time. It’s possible the reason that that was your favorite was because you were used to the easier difficulties where enemies with deal that much damage anyways.
I started the game on grandmaster because I wanted more of a souls like experience while playing instead of just breezing through which I'll probably do on my second run, the only thing that made me really want to rage quit and actually hurt was doing a fractured rift on the second planet (not including coruscant). The main thing I noticed is you really have to find the enemies' weaknesses and get used to playing the game by parrying, parrying doesn't use up your block bar which allows for you to keep going in fights against a lot of opponents. That and closing the distance quick as starting at this difficulty you don't have the perks to spend on force, you really want to improve your lightsabers and add some points to survivor. Must say though it really is enjoyable especially playing with the dual sword and double saber.
I play on Jedi master and I struggled hard on the ninth sister, it’s really hard against some bosses, however I like it because it means I need to adapt my play style and lightsaber style depending on the situation
I ran through the whole game (Bar spawn of Oggdo and Rancor #2) on master, and one of the things that I found was that you definately need to being the right tools to the job. the double bladed sabre is excellent against crowds and ranged enemies with it's deflection abilities, and the Crossguard sabre does trucks of damage to powerful enemies whe you learn their attack windows. Also, I don't think I ever faced a DT droids with that little base HP.
first was on master seconds been grandmaster and honestly cross guards been my go to for the amount of block and the parry window being not bad, plus strong hits means that with good force ability utilization, pushing weaker enemies, slams to make openings to prioritize enemies etc, as well as a good understanding of dodging, the difference between a single push and long hold, will all increase your chances against stronger enemies.
I did a Jedi Knight play through and did the no force powers run. I did use a little push/pull but barely. Made some bosses really hard but I totally forgot about the force.
thanks for the video, i played through on master although i had to drop to knight for a couple of bosses just because i wasnt bothered abut grinding like a soulslike and wanted to finish the story. Watching your footage id say your main issue is you're too aggressive, need to time your blocks and parries and be patient with groups, you'll block most things, just strike when there's an opening.
I started last night on Jedi Master. It feels pretty good. It's challenging but not super intense. Mostly, it's the groups of 3 or more enemies where you have to play smart. Fun game!
playing on grandmaster, double bladed has become my secondary stance, because its sweeping fast hitting spins, and its ability to reflect every single shot back to its targets after only parrying one blaster shot until you stop being shot. that DT sentry droid was so much easier after just force pushing off the melee trooper, and instakilling every blaster trooper by reflecting all their blaster bolts back at them just because i just reflected the first shot, then swapping to the dual wielding stance for the bot itself
I been playing on grandmaster i i found that the dual saber and the blaster stance are the 2 stances that work the best for me xD, its all about trail and error in my case but with every loss i get better so yeah. May the force be with you all that are playing this game!
As another person mentioned, parrying is absolutely required on grandmaster and likely on master difficulty also. Parrying will decrease your opponents’ guard, redirect blaster fire, keep your guard from lowering, and occasionally give you a few s. You can of course get through a lot of the game with just blocks and dodges, but you will just be making it so much harder on yourself.
So far my favorite stance has been the lightsaber + blaster combo. It allows me to take out weaker opponents without waiting for them to fire at me, and has decent power. The blaster can also be used when charged to stop some unblockable attacks. Even with the blaster, though, parrying is required!
i played my first playthrough on jedi grandmaster in 40hours on 100% and kind of struggeled with some bossfights after playing jedi fallen order through like 4 times on jedi grandmaster. i love the step up in difficulty in this game
I actually cant wait to play this game on Jedi Grandmaster. When Fallen Order first came out, I played it on Jedi Knight because I just thought anything higher would be frustrating. I've since played more games like this on harder difficulties, and I replayed FO within the last month on the hardest difficulty. Died quite a bit more than my first playthrough, but there's a satisfaction to being able to 100% a game on the hardest difficulty.
Here's a small tip, use dual-lightsaber to parry shots against groups of enemies that cover you in blaster fire, thats how I usually clear most ranged enemies then change to another saber for melee...
100%, the double blade and cross guard stance were my go to stances in Grand Master. Cross Guard takes a lot of learning, but once you have it down, it shreds.
9:47 I can’t stop laughing at the reverse audio
I'm going on my second playthrough on grandmaster. In Fallen Order I did five total playthroughs I believe, the first on Jedi Knight, second on Jedi Master, and the other three on Jedi Grandmaster, with the last two being recently in preparation for Survivor. I'm definitely glad I did that, because it kept my skills sharp for Grandmaster on the first go, and yeah, it was tough. But when you get good on it, it really makes you feel strong. That said, with every new enemy, I would find myself waiting, and studying. If they're in groups, confusion becomes very useful, you can use it to watch how they attack.
Swapping to your double-bladed saber makes deflecting greater volumes of blaster fire much easier and is the perfect counter to the laser-gat trooper. Also works really well in group situations. I love the ability to swap styles mid-fight. It really adds to the experience.
Actually, one reflect from the crossguard instantly stuns them
The thing about playing on Grand Master difficulty is that you are expected to be able to master the parry timing because when you block attacks your block meter goes down but when you parry an attack it doesn't. On Grand Master the block meter is for defending against additional attacks that are coming in at almost the same time as the parried attack, but you need to land that parry. Failure to land the parry is punishing.
Was playing Grandmaster but lowered to the second hardest when those birds casually one hit killed me
The blaster stance and dual lightsaber stance are my favorites for JGM especially in NG+ with the modifiers
I just finished on jedi master exclusively using the crossguard stance. I found using confusion to turn tougher enemies against each other and force pull to toss tough enemies to be key.
The bit battle droid I spent a good 5-10 minutes in an area on Jedah just learning all of it's attacks and about the point in it's health it would lose it's arms and how it's tactics would change. Now when I see them I'm not nearly as nervous around them. However those dern bounty hunters can suck a fat one. Basically you just need to get then near a ledge then use force lift and push to knock them away. The one that flies just use force slam while it's not above solid ground and it's a gone'r. Trying to fight both of them mainly with a blade just seems overly complex, but if you prefer that kind of challenge I can respect that.
Playing on Jedi Master feels so fun it's a nice challenge where some boss fights I need to re think my stances and it makes me use my whole kit and not just the sabers!
I played on Jedi Master mostly with exception of the first Mogu fight in the main story which I just could not manage and had to tune it down. I mostly use the double bladed saber because its very helpful with the issue of multiple enemies getting at you. For one-to-one fights I think the dual blades would probably be better but currently I tried using the blaster stance as it can be developed so much - but I am not so happy with it except for long distance damage. The additional abilities of the other stances like lightsaber throw or vortex are very useful while the blaster runs out of ammo rather soon and the point blank shot which is really great needs very precise timing. So I consider to reskill to dual wield and double bladed, although its a bit of a shame as a major game feature is the bounty hunter hunting and this only improves the blaster skills and design.
Whenever I’m playing on grandmaster, I find it much easier to use a defensive stance such as the crossgaurd of double saber. It really helps prevent your block meter from running out too fast
I feel like for grand master, dual wield and cross guard are gonna be the move. Dual wield for just running around killing enemies, cross guard for those situations where your block is being drained quickly
I played Fallen Order on Grand Master, so I went with Grand Master for Survivor as well. Mostly used Blaster and Crossguard. The game wasn't overly frustrating except for the Koboh chickens early in the game. The Imperial Hangar and Alignment Center wave fights felt borderline unfair at times. Lastly the final boss fight had a lot of crap with the dodge windows being inconsistent for unblockable attacks. Finished the game today. Other than a few questionable game design choices, I loved the game from start to finish. A lot more heart this time around with the story.
Great Video! I LOVE THIS GAME SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
You'll have to see how this changes with Warrior and Purity perks on NG+
Initially, I was on Jedi Master but lowered it after the Rancor fight permanently. (I found the Rancor very early on in the game and didn't have enough skills)
I stayed on Jedi Knight for the majority of the game except for certain bosses such as the Spawn of Oggdo and the last story boss where I just placed it down to story.
I gave them a 2-3 try rule but I found the game is more challenging with the other stances aside from dual wield, double-sided, and blaster.
The best way to approach the game is with a combination of force, and combining two lightsaber techniques that cover eachothers weakness, the most popular being dual wield and double blade, as dual wield covers fast and consistent single damage and double blade creates a strong defensive crowd control style. When you use those techniques and use all of your force abilities in opportune times it makes jedi master feel easier than jedi knight in my opinion.
Right now my go to stances are the blaster stance with the stun shot to croud control and to pick off annoying long range enemies before moving in with my crossgaurd to take out the big boys
Few Things I've personally as someone who first plays on Grand Master and then 100% on Master
You NEED to parry EVERYTHING that's blockable, actual blocking is a last resort if you miss time or if you can't dodge out from a normal attack. Those parry timings make a world of difference.
I-Frames are unreliable, they're there but you can't expect them to work every time unless you have PERFECT timing. This was super evident early on with the Spawn of Oggdo Bogdo. So learning when to dodge instead of panic dodging when seeing red, or even making use of the Jedi Flip can help immensely.
Dual Wielding and Double are probably the best two stances when fighting multiple normal enemies like Storm Troopers and their Chiefs (I'm personally a fan of the Dual Wielding, and feel like a badass), the traditional Single Blade is best for bosses/major opponents. It forces you to play at a slower pace, making every attack matter and give decent damage, but it keeps you from getting stuck in a combo that could end your life.
Force abilities (push, pull, etc.) are amazing but not required. My buddy (who plays on the same difficulties) uses them a lot, he likes them, they're super helpful, and it's cool. I personally prefer to focus on lightsaber combat, I use them minimally and will use my Force for advanced lightsaber attacks instead. Counselor vs Guardian mentality.
Lastly, with all of that being said, my buddies and I have a saying, "I'm not wrong, I just need to play how I want better." What we mean is that if you have a groove and playstyle you like, just go for it. The game may heavily suggest you need to play a certain way to advance, and sometimes you may need to implement those mechanics, but you're the one in the driver's seat. Play exactly the way you want cause that's who YOU ARE. You may not be good enough though, so be prepared to get better. Basically Dark Souls' "Git Gud" mentality.
I was doing Jedi Fallen Order Grand Master runs, so for my first playthrough I went through on Jedi Master difficulty. I died quite a bit, but it was only generally bosses that killed me more than once. Some bosses on Master are downright unfair, though, you have to be both careful about counterattacks that will kill you in a couple hits and relentless or the enemy's stamina bar will refill. It's a challenge, and when I get better at it I'm looking forward to doing Grand Master runs. Survivor is a lot harder of a game than Fallen Order was, at least on my first playthrough.
I did my entire play through on Jedi master. Going to be honest, I forgot the ground slam existed. The only force powers I used was either pulling fodder enemies like heavy gunners off their podiums to kill then quickly/ pulling larger enemies to wear down their stamina, or pushing unsuspecting troops off cliff sides lol
I love playing on Grand Master just because it makes you feel like an actual Jedi. You are a force of nature but you need to know how to use that power and when you get deeper into the game start getting used to how different enemies act you truly feel like a badass when you take out a group of enemies without taking a single hit
I have 6 plays on JGM absolutely love this game, adding the purity perk too just changes the game completely!!
I started out on Jedi Master but switched back to Jedi Knight after about an hour. I thought Jedi Knight was too easy but felt like I spent way too much time running and blocking on Jedi Master mode. I am in new game plus now, and there is a perk that substitues out some of the basic enemies for more advanced ones, and i think this combined with Jedi Knight is a good mix for me. I can still feel like a bad ass and be aggressive but have to be patient and use force powers as well. Turning some of the enemies seems like a must when faced with several purge troppers and heavy droids.
This makes me feel a lil better about struggling on Jedi master lmao
It’s refreshing to see an average gamer review this game. So many people on super high difficulty claiming it’s easy & “git gud”.
I play on Jedi Knight which has been really challenging at times. At 1 point I switched to Padawan but that felt too easy so I went back to knight & refreshed myself with the basics; dodge, parry, crowd control, etc. Not gonna lie, I’ve lowered difficulty for certain encounters like double Rancor, etc but I always switch back to knight when I’m done.
I exclusively use cross guard for single targets & small groups, and twin blade for large groups. The twin has some excellent crowd control abilities.
Played JM on my first playthrough and had to lower to JK for Dagan2, Vader and Bode.
Now on NG+ I'm playing on GM and it's not as terrible as I imagined. I usually switch between dual wield and crossguard. Crossguard is great for deflecting ranged attacks when youre facing groups.
I played the first game on Jedi Master, as I consider myself a fairly seasoned gamer. I did ok, but got frustrated a few times. I ended up dropping the difficulty for the last fight because I just couldn't do it on JM. I hadn't played any type of game like this with the precise parries and such, so that was new.
This time around, I played on JM and didn't have to drop the difficulty once. It's not that it wasn't harder, but I was more used to the gameplay style. A few of the fights were hard and I had to do them quite a few times (the last fight especially), but I found it to be fun. The boss fights seemed appropriately difficult and made me ramp up my pattern recognition skills.
Some of the regular mobs were hard af, though. Those DT droids were ridiculous. I still hate fighting K series droids. lol
I really enjoyed the game and I'm glad to see that most of the negativity relates to technical stuff and not so much the game itself.
I started my playthrough on Jedi Master difficulty, but when I got to Koboh and fought the rancor, I had to step it down to Jedi Knight, where I kept it throughout the rest of the playthrough. Even then, I struggled, so I'm glad I went down.
another top notch vid ! I mess up the droid names all the time too don't feel to bad ahaha . but to answer your question , I beat the game just yesterday on Jedi Master , gonna be doing my NG+ on Grandmaster however (fingers crossed)
I just started playing today on jedi knight difficulty. I died a couple of times but the real problem area for me was one of the Force Tears i found on Greez's world just outside of town by the landing pad. I died at least 20 times trying to get past those stupid lasers.
I re-played Fallen Order on Grand master in preparation for this game, and I played the first half of my play through in this game on grandmaster, however, I changed it to master because I wanted to finish the game before I had to go back to work lmao. On grandmaster, most boss fights took me around 5-10 attempts, so not too long. I didn't find myself dying to normal enemies much at all (I'm guessing because I just prepared by playing fallen order on grandmaster) even though I'm not the best at the "dark soulsish" combat. When I turned it down to master, everything felt incredibly easy because I was coming from grandmaster, and the difference in enemy damage is very significant. Most of the boss fights on master, I beat in 1 or 2 tries. I did find myself getting a lot more bored with anything other than grandmaster though, because it just doesn't present much of a challenge otherwise
Grand master. Beat the first game multiple times on grand master so figured I’d just start there on this one, definitely a struggle with tougher enemies, slowly getting through though!
