    I've trained you well, but you still have much to learn.

                  You have nothing left to teach me!

As you proceed down this next corridor, things will start to get a little
trippy. You'll hear certain voices and there will be some QTE sequences so be
prepared. Either way, stagger onward through each encounter and go toward the
room with all the tanks. Turn left and go toward the door. Another QTE sequence
occurs here. When you manage to leave, you are then faced with...

- BOSS FIGHT: DARTH VADER -

Vader's attacks are well, pretty simple to start with. He will do his normal
saber attacks as well as Saber Throw. He might also Grip you, forcing you to
wiggle the Left Stick back and forth. Thankfully he doesn't use that as much
as in the first game.

The best way to damage him is by parrying. Stay locked on and wait for him to
strike. Unlike in the first game, he telegraphs it just a tiny bit longer,
giving providing you with better timing. Strike back after that. You can also
catch him off guard if you dash away and then back at him when he strikes,
letting you do a bigger combo.

Eventually, one of the tanks around you will break, then all of them break.
Dispatch of these new enemies with melee, Mind Trick, and Force Repulse. Fend
them off and Vader will eventually retreat. Force Grip his platform and hit
X repeatedly to lower it.

Climb up to the platform in front of Vader's. He will casually toss the tanks
at you. Grip them after he lets go of them and fling them back at him. Meet up
with the Dark Lord again and more of those clone enemies will attack. These
ones are like Sith Acolytes; they'll wave off all of your powers except Mind
Trick. Lightning-infused combos work well though from your saber.

Once they're all gone, fight him as before. Get in close and parry his attacks,
or lure him into striking, back away, then go back to unleash a longer combo
on him. Either way, you'll eventually get into some QTE sequences, which leads
him to inevitably retreat again.

Lower the next platform. You will have to climb up several of the platforms
to finally catch up with the Dark Lord. He will send several of the creatures
after you. Mind Trick them all and fend them off with saber combos. If you
keep your eye on Vader during this fight, he will throw more tanks at you.
If you have the chance, toss them back. When you're done with the minions,
chase after him.

This will sort of continue again as he sends more of these things after you.
Just deal with them calmly, using Mind Trick. Vader may throw more tanks at
you again so be ready. Chase him down and attack, parrying and using combos
when he is in his swinging animation. He will run away... yet again.

You must fend off another pack of these things. Mind Trick the ones with the
sabers in particular and they will chase after Vader and deal small amounts of
damage to him. Take the rest of them out, then you finally get some significant
alone time with old Darthy. All good things come to an end though, and he will
run eventually.

Follow him this time and let the enemies follow you. Mind Trick them there and
they will attack Vader for you. Pretty much repeat these steps over and over
and over until finally you get a scene.

When the fight resumes, you will be outside amidst the storm. It appears like
you have permanent Force Fury on, but it's somewhat unclear as your attacks
are not boosted at all. One added bonus in this fight though can be achieved by
forcing the Dark Lord near one of the pillars at the outer edge of the arena.
Get him near here, then wait for a saber lock QTE. Win it and you can eventually
force him into the electricity. Mash Triangle to take out a huge chunk of his
health.

You can repeat this until he goes down. There's not much more to it. Vader may
sometimes channel the lightning toward you, but it won't hurt too much. You're
able to get off some lengthier combos sometimes but the best way is to force
him into the lightning rods. When he's near death, a long QTE sequence starts
up. That ends the fight and it presents you with a choice. All the choice does
is affect the ending. It will not give you anything to control, so choose
what you want.

Congratulations, you've beaten Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II!
