[FLA]Lord-Hanke Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 i finish JK2 and i was impressed if not traumatised that was very easly to kill him, some saber punch and he die, it is so easy or i have been lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trahern Valley Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 I'm guessing lucky, because I'm sure I was. I hit speed the same instant he threw his saber at me, rushed to his side, a few good swings in medium stance, and that's all she wrote. He didn't have time for force powers or anything.

Evil_Weasel Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Hey, somebody else from good ol' Cambridge!! Anyway, have to agree, killing Desann was quick compared to fighting his sidekick earlier in the game but guess that is down to having more force powers and practising on those unborn all through the game... Now to get stuck into MP! Evil Weasel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 5 Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 did you have difficlty set to padawan? I think at higher setting, he would be much harder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_feather Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 yeah he's very easy did any of you use the two buttons that you can force pull/push? I never got the chance to do them both before I killed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 5 Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 yep i did... They are a lot of fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_feather Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 So what happens? does it activate that ting in the middle of the room that he is standing in when you first see him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stix&Stonz Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 dont know what you guys are talking abuot... im playing on Hard so maybe its not quite as easy to kill him (i kept dying) but then i realized that of the 4 pillars that were on the lower level, only 3 of them were still standing. I noticed you can destroy them. So i lured him behind one, slashed it, and he was squished. There was a cutscene for it, so im guessing thats what you're supposed to do... dont know what the buttons were for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcedInferno Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 I played it on 'Jedi' difficulty. Those buttons activate the red beam in the middle of the room. If you stand in the beam it temporarily makes you really strong. I killed Desann in 2 tries. I just jumped in the beam, put force speed on and kept swingin till the big lizard was out of commision. What a great game! The best since Half-Life in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 5 Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 do you really want to know what they do??? Are you sure you just don't want to try it??? OK i will tell you... They give you god mode for a short time (best way i can discribe it, i didn't take any damage to shields or health.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokis Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Took me about 2 tries to kill him, but I also agree it was so easy because we've got so much force powers and experience killing the Reborn and Shadowtroops(?) [forget their names, ]... I actually find Shadowtroopers to have been, and still be, a lot harder then Dessan. Very strange, I kept hopping around and slashing like a maniac, keeping Force Speed at all times. Well, I actually landed on Dessan, knocking him down and then I just saber rolled over him; killing him. Very anti-climax, if you ask me...

[FLA]Lord-Hanke Posted April 10, 2002 Author Share Posted April 10, 2002 i have use force speed and i activate the red beam and go in, maybe it is why it was so easy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game CEO Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Force-speed is the key to killing all jedis! I use force-speed and medium-stance. Kill every jedi usually in the first sweep with the exception of Tavion (Desann's apprentice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_feather Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 yeah I went back and tried it straight after I asked you Wraith it lasts for about 5 - 10 seconds, force speed is by far the best force power followed by force grip later when you can throw people around with it, did anybody else find Tavion far harder than Dessan?

caelestis Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 yeah he was pretty easy w/ force speed on, i just hit him in the back a lot, but u gotta admit it's a better end boss than the rather large baby from half-life! also i am almost done w/ the game on Jedi Master and I have a feeling he will be much harder this time around, Tavion sure was!

Territo Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 The first 10 or so times I faced him he was impossible, he kept throwing me to the ground which took like 5 seconds to get up. His force grip isn't counterable, at least with push and pull anyway. I came on to the forum and was surprised at how easy everyone beat him. Anyways force speed made all the difference, that red beam in the middle helped a bit too. If you want a challenge try fighting him without force speed, it is soooo much harder. I was playing on normal (jedi) mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalashaska Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Does anyone think Jerek on JK was harder? I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[FLA]Lord-Hanke Posted April 10, 2002 Author Share Posted April 10, 2002 derek, Lot more difficult, also Mock in dark force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_feather Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 yeah Jerec was a lot harder it took me ages to defeat him, infact I think jedi knight was a lot harder alltogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyFette Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I thought Dessan was a wimp compared to the Admiral. Took me maybe 3 tries to get him. The Admiral took me many many more, even after reading how to kill him. Jerec took FOREVER to kill. I have to say I was really impressed with JKII. Nice attention to detail and it was fun using the new-and-improved force powers. Fighting the reborn definitely made it more fun. Add in the extra little neat things you get to do for variety (remote control droids, man the guns and shoot TIE's, drive an AT-ST) and it's a blast. I did find I used the lightsaber almost exclusively in the last half of the game. Yes, I used appropriate guns in appropriate situations, but swung the lightsaber 90% of the time. Some of the things you had to do in order to progress in the levels were a little bit forced or illogical, but overall impression was very realistic. I liked how they would have technicians working on computer terminals and stormtroopers posted at the doors. This is exactly what I would think you'd see in a "government" military station in potentially hostile territory. I loved it! (oh and yeah, that baby at the end of Half-Life sucked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akai Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Desann did go down pretty fast compared to his apprentice and the Admiral (though I still died about four times before killing Desann...and I'm on Padawan difficulty). I attribute that to just how lethal lightsaber combat has been made in this game. That's one of the features about Jedi Knight II that I like so much...instead of whittling an opponent down until he dies you can score a swift kill just by hitting him in the right place. Raven did an incredible job designing the lightsaber mechanics...I did end up using the lightsaber throughout most of the game, compared to rarely using it in Dark Forces II. Overall I'm very pleased with the game. Well, two complaints: #1. I would have prefered less of the Super Mario business with pushing blocks and jumping around on platforms and stuff. #2. I was very cheezed that the game does not support Nvidia video cards....one of the best cards on the market (though it worked fine after downloading the latest drivers, but still).

chaos22 Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 UMmmm i gotta say akai... what do you mean it dosent support nvidia video cards? huh? im running a geforce3 and have had no problems whatsoever since i installed the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalashaska Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 My card is a gforce 2, works pretty good for me, dont see why it doesnt support nvidia when at the end of the credits when it says "Special Thanks" id, nVidia etc etc . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalashaska Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I defeated Desann , seen all the cutscene thing ( ending i think ) where you talk to luke and say your goin on your hols. Then i have to fight desann again!? he just stands there like a f00l. And kyle katarn is at the top next to where you came in!? Anyone know why?

Akai Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 When I initially started the game it would not work. I checked out a trouble shooting guide on the net and it gave a list of video cards not supported by the game and the nvidia geforce 2 (the one I'm using) was listed as one of them. After installing the latest drivers for my video card everything worked fine. However according to the system requirements section on this site (which I just looked at now) the game *does* support nvidia cards...so it's possible that the troubleshooting guide I consulted was wrong or working with incomplete information (I checked it out on the day that the game was released). Ah well, scratch one gripe off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
