Yup same here lmao. Took me a solid hour or two. Not advisable as your literal first encounter cz u just get one shot and do so little damage not to mention you have no abilities at all to help you out. But we prevailed regardless lol
It’s for sure much harder in this game than Fallen Order, because I found the scaling much more crazy in that game than in Survivor. Endgame Cal literally rips Trilla’s spine out (ingame) even on GM lol. Constantly slowing her and spamming the dual wield force attack while BD filling up your force meter completely breaks the game. I just beat FO again and I decided to fight her normally and even then it’s piss easy, bosses in FO feel so much slower than in Survivor. Rayvis on the other hand made switch back to Master from GM after 3 hours of suffering due to his fucking regen during phase 2
Doesn’t help that the optimization is shit 😭 when the game first came out, even on performance mode on PS5 it was bad. Especially considering how small the parry window is, you really need a smooth gameplay experience. Grandmaster on release was almost unplayable. Switched to master bcuz it really wasn’t worth it especially when you’re properly timing it but your inputs just aren’t being picked up due to performance issues. Happy to say tho that it’s a lot better now like 2 weeks later with the updates. Still a long way from actually running smoothly but at least it’s better lmao
The double Rancor was so difficult. I hadn't even run into the single Rancor encounter (That I'm assuming is on Koboh) when I did the double Rancor since I had chosen Coruscant to 100% first. I just used blaster stance and stayed away as much as possible lol. But RICK THE DOOR TECHNICAN took me longer to beat than it took me to beat Fallen Order.
@@largechild9941 fair. He is very erratic though so its much easier to dodge than risk missing the parry and your block breaking or worse taking the hit and risk dying
@@comebackguy8892 slow time only gives you one attack, then the enemy attacked goes back to normal, not to mention that it’s mainly a rage mechanic now
The amount of humble pie that was served is amazing, but dear LORD Zanny is your perseverance is even greater! Amazing skills, worthy of being a Jedi Grand Master
@@ghostlyswat12 I see what you mean but while it has range, it lacks in damage and you need to hit something to refill the blaster. I’d say that stance is better reserved for taking out waves of minions, especially with the ricochet shot
@@sarko5989 when you get the blaster damage increase perk, a quick charge shot and the perk that buffs lightsaber damage after a blaster shot, it becomes a strong stance for fights like this where you need to deal quick damage
I did double blade for it, it is very serviceable, but aside from vortex dive and maybe the controlled throw, I don't know that it gives you any significant benefit. Blaster stance has more weave-in damage options, and a dash attack.
As an OG trilogy fan I was freaking out when I found out the bone trick and can’t wait to see Zannys reaction to the poncho and how you have to get it (If you know you know)
GG!! I have to say Rancor on GM was a really fun fight. I fought and beat him early on when literally any of his attacks besides the stomp will one-shot you and I must say learning his moves inside and out until I was able to accurately predict them exhilarating... then they ruin that fun by adding a Rancor gank fight with no i frames on being hit. GM difficulty for like 80% of it is really fun and balanced and an adequate challenge and then the other 20% are just miserable and I would not wish upon anybody but my worst enemies.
I fought him towards the end of the game with a fat health bar and he still one shotted me- super hard for sure took me 6-7 attempts because I had a lot of upgrades to my stances
Yeah, this battle was though af. I completed it when I didn't have blaster or crossguard yet, which I hear are both pretty good for this fight, so that was a pain 💀 Luckily, dual wield auto-parry exists
When I first did this boss fight, my first thought was ‘can’t wait to watch zanny die inside trying to beat this thing’ so thank you, it was just as I imagined. Just wait till you fight the stronger one
After a few attempts I noticed that 1: The Rancor never has more than a 2-hit combo. Like this you know when you can attack. 2: Keep your distane and only attack once he have finished a combo. By keeping your distance you can easliy dodge all of his attacks, and only go in for an attack after he rushes you and closes the distance. 3: When the Rancor have closed the distance on you (you should not) attack once with a big heavy attack, then back out his melee range, dodge the ranged attacks. Rinse and repeat. 4. I beat him fully in crossguard stance, but you could combo with blaster stance and use that when you keep your distance, and switch to crossguard for a big, heavy attack once the Rancor closes the distance. If you don't want to bother switching between stances, I suggest using the perk that grants you passive Force regen and throw the crossguard lightsaber when you're at range.
If anyone is struggling I suggest blaster backup but main double saber stance. It is the only stance that animation breaks to counter. All other stances lock u into the action and cannot break animation.
I fought him on grand Master early into the game. All attacks one shot me, but I was doing decent damage to him, so I decided to struggle through it, I don't know how long it took but I beat the rancor, no hit, my tips jump instead of dodging. The double jump makes you move so far that he would have to start walking towards me, unlike the dodge that would force you to stop after the second baby dodge, and because the baby dodge stopped you for a bit you couldn't get away.
When i did this fight i swapped between duel wielding and blaster stance, hit/block with blaster stance to build ammo and shoot him as much as possible and then swapped to duel and used my all my force in light saber throws just to do as much damage at distance to him as possible, still took awhile but since he doesn't ever block this method really helped me
Just wait until zanny needs to fight “you know who” in order to get the poncho . . .
And then he has to fight two of em
He fought them during the same stream
Agreed, that fight is insane
Just wait until he has to fight two rancors...
@@Bradog128
That rift…still haven’t returned XD
Zanny going "I own this guy now" only for the Rancor to immediately rock his shit is funnier than it has any right to be.
There were some stones there too

“I no longer get one shot, I get two shot.” So in other words… “My powers have doubled since last we met.”

Same. Took me like 2 hours. Had to do it until I wouldn’t get hit
Yup same here lmao. Took me a solid hour or two. Not advisable as your literal first encounter cz u just get one shot and do so little damage not to mention you have no abilities at all to help you out. But we prevailed regardless lol
Lmao me too I was so angry at this boss! I died at least 6 six times before I killed it 😭
Same here, and I could only ever force push up to 2 bones in his mouth
Same, it was just me, my shitty health bar and 3 stims, some goddamn bones and a dream lol
“So this how the the Rancor dies…with thunderous Laurence shitposts”.
I read that in Zannys voice 💀
"I own this guy now"
A phrase that went to the beach that makes you old it aged so poorly
Grandmaster is insane, it's like they listened to darksouls fans and gave us a brutal difficulty. I like it.
I was slightly disappointed when he lowered the difficulty

Beat it on Grandmaster, Wasn’t disappointed
@@DemoRaging congrats bro. I’m doing it now on new journey plus. Need that achievement lol
6:01 “Jesus I owned this guy now” gets sent to the shadow realm seconds later
Just wait until Zanny reaches the two actual most difficult fights in Jedi Survivor... The double rancor and Rick the Door Technician.
He's not ready for Rick
we fear the ogdo bogdo and its spawn at the same time
The double Rancor was so difficult. I hadn't even run into the single Rancor encounter (That I'm assuming is on Koboh) when I did the double Rancor since I had chosen Coruscant to 100% first. I just used blaster stance and stayed away as much as possible lol.

“I own this guy now”
*instantly dies*
I like how he just completely forgets that he has the ability to block because all he does is jump dodge and parry for some reason
Souls and Sekiro instincts.
@@mileskessler2905 thats the opposite of sekiro instincs
@@Someguy1asekiro for jump? Idk I’m reaching😂
The rancors attacks just break your block almost immediately though and leave you stunned
@@largechild9941 fair. He is very erratic though so its much easier to dodge than risk missing the parry and your block breaking or worse taking the hit and risk dying
6:02 "I own this guy now" *gets turned into a fine paste*
Fight, Flee.
Always works.
I feel like this would be much easier if he actually used his force abilities.
Lightsaber throws with the flux perk is INSANE, hell, with Dual Wield it’s still good without there perk
And the parry/block button
Well your force push and pull can’t work on enemies this large until it’s upgraded fully so it wouldn’t really change much

6:00 - "Jesus, I OWN this guy now." *SHPLAT!*
I think double bladed is the best for this because of its long range and good punishes
I say the blade/gun stance because a lot of its attacks are pokes keeping you away from the beast
The double bladed is best for fighting the rancor cause you can just cheat the fight with the enhanced saber throw.

"You jump for the stomp"
Tells us all we need to know about our Zan-clan leader. That was so obvious yet it took him like a lot of time to figure.
6:06 rest in peace Zanny.
We lost him too soon.
4:52 god, I felt that-
Bro it took all his health wtf
Patience is a tool of the Jedi. Control and focus, these too are the markers of true masters

There should be 1 zanny channel for each member of the Jedi council.

Hey Zanny, love your videos. Hope you’re enjoying the game!
Zanny’s the kinda guy to be stuck on rick the door technician for hours
Zanny: “I own this guy now”
Rancor: “THE FUCK YOU SAY YOU LITTLE SHIT”
"How about you let me cook, chat?" *begins to burn the entire house down*
“Stop drop kicking the demon”
And “stop drip kicking the fucking devil”
Were hilarious.
Poor rancor, only his groin area was attacked 😂

If he thought the Rancor was hard just wait until he fights Spawn of Oggdo…💀
Or don’t forget double rancor and double oggdo
@@d3viate797 Fortunately for me I haven’t made it that far in the game yet lol. But that sounds just…awful to fight.
@@sphearix7232 the oggdo is a force tear in domas shop after you beat the first oggdo and I haven’t seen the rancor fight but I’ve heard about it
Imma say, with big guys like this, it's so easy to forget that you can parry them
I don't have the heart to tell him of the other fight he has yet to do
I missed the start of the stream so glad that zanny posted this
The dual wield is the best option for bosses. block cancelling comes in so useful and the force auto-parry cancels the boss' attack string
Precision parrying: exists
Zanny: *No.*
I want to play this game so bad, but I don't have an Xbox series X. So now I just have to grind fallen order to satisfy my craving.
Imagine someone trying to dropkick jormungander in gow
Zanny "If you strike me down, I will be exactly as powerful as I was."
GAHD DAMN NICE. I BELIEVE IN THE ZANMAN
Great content Zanny keep it up.
Zanny cultured for wearing the Corsair jacket
I'm fluent in Rancor, and for most of this fight it was saying, "For Oggdo Boggdo!"
Just wait until he finds the force tear with two of them.
"I own this guy now!"
Rancor: lol, get squashed...
Yeah, this battle was though af. I completed it when I didn't have blaster or crossguard yet, which I hear are both pretty good for this fight, so that was a pain 💀
Luckily, dual wield auto-parry exists
I beat it early on too lol, before i even found Greeze i made it my mission to kill this Rancor
The auto-parry is so bs...
Yet the bosses in this game have some of their own BS too LOL so it's fair.
@@Impulse1912same. shit was brutal, one slip and it was wraps. swear I went at it for at least two hours before finally defeating the rancor

The most relatable video ever
When I first did this boss fight, my first thought was ‘can’t wait to watch zanny die inside trying to beat this thing’ so thank you, it was just as I imagined. Just wait till you fight the stronger one
Every Jedi knows that rancors have to be killed by feeding them perfumed granades!
zanny being suprised hes getting 1 shot by a rancor on the hardest dificulty
Wait til he finds the tear where you fight two rancor
He died every single time he glanced at chat.
After a few attempts I noticed that
1: The Rancor never has more than a 2-hit combo. Like this you know when you can attack.
2: Keep your distane and only attack once he have finished a combo. By keeping your distance you can easliy dodge all of his attacks, and only go in for an attack after he rushes you and closes the distance.
3: When the Rancor have closed the distance on you (you should not) attack once with a big heavy attack, then back out his melee range, dodge the ranged attacks. Rinse and repeat.
4. I beat him fully in crossguard stance, but you could combo with blaster stance and use that when you keep your distance, and switch to crossguard for a big, heavy attack once the Rancor closes the distance.
If you don't want to bother switching between stances, I suggest using the perk that grants you passive Force regen and throw the crossguard lightsaber when you're at range.
Wait till he finds the Rancor duo on Coruscant
I was here for this! Was timed out cus i used to many exclamations but i was here
If anyone is struggling I suggest blaster backup but main double saber stance. It is the only stance that animation breaks to counter. All other stances lock u into the action and cannot break animation.
“I own this guy now” *dies*
You dropkicked the Rancor. 😂
he fought it like an elden ring boss completely forgetting parry
He didn’t know to jump on the stomp attack
Who will win. The “second” hardest boss of the game” or the pride and determination of a gamer.
Nothing more difficult than those two frogators in Fractured History...
Now he just has to beat the double Rancors, spawn of ogdo and the double ogdo on grandmaster
Imagine fighting two of them in a small circle.
You needed the pink poncho to defeat the rancor
I got second hand gamer rage every time he died because I know how it feels to fight that goddamn thing.
"i own this guy now"....... The rancor had something to say about that lmao
Pink poncho pink poncho you must find it to become a god
The Rancor was like “ok.. Ill let you have this one after beating you 10 times” 😂
Such a pleasure that I caught the stream. Vids are good, but Live streams are something special
the way he struggled here...makes me fear on how he'll do against "him" for the pink poncho
I fought him on grand Master early into the game.

GODSKIN DUO!
if you hold the attack button while already doing the attack, you do a special attack chaining the combo with the stance
6:02 I have never seen such perfect timing before in my life
Rancor: spinning is a good trick
Respect the fact that you stuck to sword stance 😅 I used darth maul stance for this one
