- BOSS FIGHT: THE GOROG -

This creature is big and ugly. You know what they say though, right? That
really hackneyed expression. What was it again? Oh, nevermind.

In any case, the Gorog has very obvious attacks which take a little practice
to time and dodge. He will sweep the arena from your right to your left with
one hand. As soon as you see his hand slap down, start to jump, then double
jump over his hand.

His other attacks are just fist smashes and so on. You can see them being
telegraphed by the red circle (much like the cannon sights from the previous
level) appear on the ground. Quickly dash out of the way.

That's all well and good but how do you hurt it? Kota eventually drops you a
hint on this. While the beast is in front of you, hit it with Force Lightning.
The idea is to charge those nice wristwatches it has on. Well, they look like
watches anyway...

Now you have to wait for the fist smash, which is a specific attack, different
from when it merely slaps its open hand on the platform. When it slams its
fist, you can attack the band (if you're on the correct side) with your saber.
Weakening it will allow you to break the band next time he slams his fist.

Just a few times and the beast will slam its fist down again. This time, Kota
will tell you to slash at the band again. Do so and then a new prompt appears
to  mash Circle, spamming Force Push. This restrains one of his arms.

Now focus on luring him into smashing the other arm down. Zap him with Force
Lightning like before, then attack the band until it breaks, spam Push and he
will be restrained.

Watch its breath counterattack. I don't even want to know how bad it smells.
It will sweep the platform back and forth a few times with this attack, so be
prepared to jump. After that, you can Force Grip the chain around its neck.
Hold R2 and hit the following QTE buttons: Circle, X, Square. That will deal
a large amount of damage.

This sequence repeats itself. Wait for the particular strike of his closed
fist and attack the band with Lightning or preferably saber attacks. The Gorog
almost always does a fist smash right after sweeping the platform so try to
be ready. Dashing repeatedly is recommended to avoid being hit by the fist.

Once you've weakened a band, attack it then use Force Push repeatedly to
restrain it. Repeat for the other hand, remembering that the Gorog uses the
fist smash after sweeping the platform.

With both arms restrained again, avoid the breath attack as much as possible,
then hit The Gorog with Force Lightning a few times until the Grip prompt
appears. Follow that with this QTE sequence: Square, X, Square, Circle, Hold
Left Stick Down + Square repeatedly, Triangle repeatedly, Hold Left Stick
Down + Square repeatedly

No, the fight still isn't over. It moves on to a new phase. Where you will be
on a walkway near the top of the arena that goes in a big circle. The Gorog
will keep you trapped in one section. Your goal here is to weaken it enough so
it makes an exit for you.

Begin by tossing electrified Stormtroopers at it. Then give it several bouts
of Force Lightning. You'll have to do your best to dodge the beast's fist
slaps and slams. When it throws its left hand on the platform (to your right),
it may either sweep it or keep it there. If the hand stays, unleash your saber
combos on it. Keep this up, along with Force Lightning. The Gorog will
eventually smash the area to your right, allowing you to get out in front of a
tower.

Climb this tower by jumping on each ledge that is jutting out. Once you're on
the top, the Gorog will grab the platform with one hand. Attack the hand, while
watching out for the other to attack one side of the platform. Keep attacking
and you'll have to repeat this part again.

Like before, use Force Lightning and saber attacks when it puts its right left
hand on the platform. When it breaks open the way for you, climb the tower,
then attack the hand. This will create a bridge for you, so climb the tower
yet again, then jump and dash your way across to the platform that is sort of
dangling. This gives you a scene.

---

With the boss fight over, you enter another falling sequence. This time, you
can dash by holding L1 for a bit, then letting go. As you descend, dodge all
the debris and Stormtroopers, using Push to clear out big obstacles for you
to destroy or pass through.

Use Dash repeatedly to get closer until you're eventually right in front of
the mighty beast. Hit it with Force Lightning or throw your Sabers by hitting
Square. When it prepares to swipe at you, either duck low or high to avoid
it. Repeat this sequence, dashing, then using Lightning and your sabers to
finally vanquish the beast and finish this level at long last.
