jedimaster01 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 This is my first 'post' so bear with me. I have a question that has been bugging me. All of the guides found on Jedi-Outcast point to in the end defeating Desann by the invincibility thingy. To me, that seems rather cheap. I just wanted to know if anyone has beaten Desann without that and how. (assuming no cheat codes were used). Just curious. I've tried myself, gotten close, made a mistake and wound up dead. Any help would be nice. thankx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa`uld Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I think it might be possible to run up to him splash a bit of lightning on him, then run away and heal yourself, then try again. It probably only takes half a health point off him to do that though, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Go to one of the pillars and start hacking it. Then get Desann to walk to that pillar, and chop it down. If you're lucky, it falls on Desann. I once got the pillar to fall on Desann's lightsaber when he was throwing it. He's just a sitting duck then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griever83 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Mine was kind of a fluke win... We were battling for quite a while now... and I just got in a saber lock with Desann... so quite naturally, I used force push on him and pushed him into a corner... I guess I forgot I was in light mode, cos then, I did the special move (the one where you slash from bottom to top)... it kinda killed him... hehe...

te necabo Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I was able to knock him down to the ground, turn on speed and heavy stance and 2 or 3 chops later boom:tie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahd Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I defeated Dessan in roughly 20 seconds, maybe a little longer. But basically, I quicksaved immediately after the cinematic, then changed light sabre style to heavy and jumped directly down to him. Just before hitting the ground I used Speed and then Push. After that push, Dessan simply lay on the ground while I used about 6 heavy direct blows on him. It was strange, he didn't even get up lol. So I tried the same tactic a second time, he didn't lie on the ground this time, but i whooped him in about the same time without him using any of his annoying powers. Interesting tactic, but it works. Don't even bother with the invincibility thingy, no need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sadao Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 The invincability thingy counters God Mode!!! I heard somewhere that it doesn't make you invincable it just replenishes your force meter while giveing you a little added speed. I did it. Jump down and suddenly it was in slow motion and it shows Dessan slash and hack my back. Blam.. I'm dead. I thought it was rather ironic, so naturally after the amazment I was laughing. lol.. it's still kinda funny. -Darth Sadao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenpo_Boy Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Just keep your wits about you, and take him on with your saber. There's really not much more to it than that. I personally didn't find him too difficult at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliasalpha Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I think my record is literally 5 seconds. I dropped down on him using heavy stance, cleaved him in two in one hit... I've used the G_realisticcombat "cheat" to slice him into tiny bits before, strange how he's in one piece for the cutscene (Strong the force in this one is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Fleming Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Easy way to defeat Desann is to wait for him to throw his lightsaber at you, (which he does very often) then activate 'Speed', making sure your lightsaber stance is on heavy, make your way over to Desann. He has no lightsaber, so just let rip on him, and he'll die withing 3-4 hits Sometimes, it's also possibly that if you stand infront of Desann, whilst he tries to get his saber back, it will hit you first in the back, causing no damage i found and leaving Desann help less.... Hope this helps... | Darth Fleming | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyndim Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Personally, I just waited for him to throw his sabre. Then I just charged him using force spead with heavy style. Two or three hits downed him pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I just wear his force down a bit...just evading him, then toss on speed and hack away... A few times, he didn't even touch me at all, and I killed him... The trick to beating him without the power beam thingy, I think, is speed... the trick is speed with most things actually...

Methedrine Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 The way I beat him was to go like Yoda in AOTC. Jump and slash at him. Oh, and keep force heal ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Joha Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I beat him without cheats, but about 1/2 way through the fight I hid in the crevice of the rocks in the back corner and force-healed back to strength. This gave me the last bit of strength I needed. I found him to be about 1 1/10th the difficulty of the baddie in JKI. I attribute that mostly to the fact, though, that in JKII the lightsaber is so much more controllable and I can actually win on saber skill and a few force moves alone. Definitely use speed and even lightning, but save some juice for emergency heal. Also, like someone else said, KEEP MOVING. Desann can take a brief opening and slash you down with one hit, so hit him and move. I didn't like the strong stance because of his ability to do this. Good luck!

NomadWR Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 My first time againest Dressan was in "Padawan" level of difficaulty. I got my butt handed to me the first time around, then I went at him with all I had. Speed force was one of my best helps. It took only about two minutes to get him that time. But in the higher levels of dif. Dressan gets tougher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoxyribonuclei Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I'm happy...I'm sad...I want MORE JK2 what a great game and desann kicked me bum for a bit...then I got smart. He wasn't even close to as hard as what's his bum from JK dark forces 2, but still I had a great time. And thanks to all here for the tips and tricks...I used em and they worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crzycutter01 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I just kept using force push to knock him down and struck him down. Desann needs to learn more of using the force me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
