Markenobi Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 I know that 10 to 1, there isn't, but I'll give this a try. (I know, I know, "Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.") Is there any way to speed up defeating the droid fighter at the end of level 1? Any Force powers, special moves or items, anything that could help? It seems like it could take forever!

Markenobi Posted June 29, 2000 Author Share Posted June 29, 2000 Well, thanks anyway, Darth Wart. By the way, I've already printed out your JPB strategy guide- well, page one to be exact. I look forward to continued use of this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Maul Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 I found it best during the second phase to turn on one of Adi's special items (the protective shield). I did this by accident and didn't make the 24K target. ------------------ Dave Maul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markenobi Posted June 29, 2000 Author Share Posted June 29, 2000 Thanks, Dave Maul and DarthMace, I never thought of those options! Also, about defeating it the way you're "supposed to", it seems to me that blocking is pretty random in this game- you have no idea where the deflected shots will go. Anybody know a way to "aim" the deflected shots? This, too, would hasten the demise of that Droid Fighter! ------------------ Feel free to visit my Fan Site: http://fan.starwars.com/MarkenobisSite/HomeScreen.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Wart Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 I infer there is something critical you don't know: if you deflect the shot just at the moment it reaches you, it'll go right back at the shooter. No wonder it was taking you so long! BTW, Mace's saber throw doesn't come till the end of the next level, which is why I didn't mention it. It is the most powerful and versatile attack in the game, though. ------------------ Wart Currently the revised strategy guide is being housed (ON ONE PAGE!) at http://darthwart.tripod.com/page1.html, which will be the address until Kanigget gets back at the end of June.

Guest Dave Maul Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 I see the sig's not working. Let me help: This is where your site is: http://fan.starwars.com/MarkenobisSite/HomeScreen.html. To get this turned into a link, you need to add http:// http://fan.starwars.com/MarkenobisSite/HomeScreen.html , except without the spaces between the brackets and the address.

Guest Dave Maul Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 Okay, I don't know what happened there, but apparently it does it automatically now. I have no idea why yours doesn't work. ------------------ Dave Maul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ihatecrosswinds Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 One trick I've noticed when fighting this boss is to stay towards the upper left of the platform. In the second phase of the battle, the rifle droid coming from the left side seems to get stuck or something like that, so only the droid from the right comes to attack. This makes the battle a little easier, and allows you more time to focus on blocking the shots the boss shoots at you. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Solrya Posted July 1, 2000 Share Posted July 1, 2000 Try dying every time you get a checkpoint. or at least go for those stuff in the elevator platform #2 part (there should be a challenge, ultimate powerup, 2,500 extra points, and a force up. get these in order. They are located at the bottom.) Read Darth Wart's Walkthrough for better explanation... or at the Starfighter part, try running away for the shots instead, that way, you get to destroy the droids. If you got around 22 or 23K, you should be ok, cause the fighter is worth 2.5K ------------------ "Just because I'm a 15 year-old doesn't mean I can't be a Jedi Knight" -Solrya «««¥§¤°¹°¤§¥»»»«««¥§¤°¹°¤§¥»»» The Force is with you...always.

Markenobi Posted July 1, 2000 Author Share Posted July 1, 2000 Solrya, Thanks for the tip, but I am just wondering, what did that have to do with the topic of this thread? I'm not asking this to be mean. Also, I generally ignore the powerups you mentioned now because it seems that I end up falling to my death every time I try to get them. ------------------ Feel free to visit my Fan Site: http://fan.starwars.com/MarkenobisSite/HomeScreen.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 84Elan Posted July 1, 2000 Share Posted July 1, 2000 I too used to buy the farm when I would try to get those power ups but the simples way to get them is to not worry about falling off. No for real you can jump from the main floor to the flared out pad w/o having to try and cat walk out onto it and you can jump from the flared out part to the main floor in one double jump. It is a hole lot easier than trying to walk real slow and make it out onto the flared out platform. jump out here and get the points/powerup and and then just jump back end of story. 4 thermal detinators and a full force and life bar say you can't pass them up. ------------------ Don't center on your anxieties...keep your focus on the here and now.

Markenobi Posted July 6, 2000 Author Share Posted July 6, 2000 "Got him! I got him!" "Great, kid! Don't get cocky!" I assume you can figure out what I mean by the above quotes-well, the 1st one at least. Also, I still ignore those powerups on the white pillars for 2 reasons: 1. I've learned to live without them and 2. I don't need the points! I've figured out a way to lessen the chance of the droid fighter hitting you, so that you can pick off the blue droids until you have enough points (though it can take awhile). When the droid fighter fires the 3 laser blasts, jump when they're about to hit you. Then, on the second round of 3 blasts, it will fire way over your head! P.S. I use Darth Wart's doubling back strategy too. ------------------ Feel free to visit my Fan Site: http://fan.starwars.com/MarkenobisSite/HomeScreen.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stormtrooper Posted July 9, 2000 Share Posted July 9, 2000 Did you say points powerup? I cannot find the 2500 one in level 1, either of the two in level 2, the 2500 in level 3, either of the two in level 9? can anyone give me IdeaS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stormtrooper Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 Well? Where is the 2500 in level 3 and the 1000 in level 8 and both of the points in level 9 or the 1000 in level 2????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Wart Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 Hmmmmm. Let's see if I can do this just from memory. The 2500 in level 1 is on one of those big lamps to the south just as you come up the elevator. The 2500 in level II is just before the worm, in the second crevice. The first 1000 (there are actually two) is on a little lone ledge to 6:00 shortly after you make it up the mushroom tree. The 2500 in level 3 is to the right of the bushes right of the very last maiden, just before the flame droids. The 1000 in level 8 is high in the air just after the first black drawbridge or so. Level 9, both are on the tiled patio sections. The 1000 is with the extra life at the very "bottom" of the cliff section, near where all the potted plants are. And the 2500 is high up the cliff face in another (semi-secret) tiled courtyard section that you can access by proceeding LEFT when you're about to go RIGHT to meet the pilots. ------------------ Wart Get your free JPB guide at: http://jedipowerbattlesguide.homestead.com/JPB.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
