Ninth Sister Boss Fight Guide – Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

by

In the game “Fallen Order,” we were first introduced to The Ninth Sister, who serves as an Inquisitor. This Dowutin character is unique as she possesses the empathic Force, allowing her to read minds. In the sequel, “Jedi Survivor,” The Ninth Sister reappears, now sporting a cybernetic hand on her right side because she lost her arm during the initial confrontation with Cal Kestis.

In contrast to the challenging boss fight against the Ninth Sister in Fallen Order, she appears as a common enemy in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. However, due to the new combat difficulty system, novice players might struggle to defeat her promptly. For such instances, this guide offers assistance. Here’s an easy way to eliminate the Ninth Sister without much fuss.

  • An Overview of the Ninth Sister

    • Former Name: Masana Tide
    • Race: Dowutin
    • Battle Phases: Three
    • Best Weapon Against Her: Double-Bladed Stance
    • Battle Duration: ~ 5 to 7 minutes

In the game “Jedi: Survivor,” The Ninth Sister serves as the second main boss you’ll face on Coruscant. Your battle with her transpires in three distinct stages. In the initial stage, she primarily uses melee attacks that can usually be parried or dodged. In the second phase, she gains a mental ability to dodge your attacks because she seems to read your mind. In the final stage, she incorporates ground slams into her arsenal, causing area-of-effect damage.

How to Defeat the Ninth Sister

To defeat the Ninth Sister, block her standard moves persistently until her Energy Meter depletes, then attack her when she’s vulnerable. For her powerful attacks, either pull on her with the Force or dodge to the sides when she begins glowing red. Continue countering her abilities until you can activate Dual Stance, at which point she will surrender.

The Ninth Sister’s Moves Counter
Basic strike Parry or dodge
Lightsaber projectile Parry or dodge
Charged moves Pull Force or dodge
Ground smash Double-jump
Combo finishers Dodge (cannot be parried)
Empathic Force (Mind Reading) Cannot be countered
Pull Force Cannot be countered

Follow these steps to defeat the Ninth Sister:

  • Start the fight by parrying her attacks.
  • Deflect her projectiles by pressing LB (L1 on PlayStation)
  • Attack only when her guard breaks.
  • Press LT (L2 on PlayStation) to interrupt her heavy attacks.
  • Do not strike when she’s using her Empathic Force.
  • Parry her strikes in the Empathic state, so she can’t predict Cal’s moves.
  • Once the Dual Stance is unlocked, hold Y (Triangle on PlayStation) to beat her for good.

Take note that the Ninth Sister’s boss battle consists of three distinct stages:

1. In the initial stage, she solely relies on her double-edged lightsaber.
2. During the second phase, she employs her Empathic Force to anticipate the player’s moves.
3. Lastly, in the final stage, she integrates her lightsaber, Force abilities, and powerful attacks. Every time a third of her health is depleted, a new stage commences, with her employing more potent skills.

Tips for Killing the Ninth Sister Faster

  • Unlock the Lunging Strike and Dash Strike for the Single Lightsaber Stance. With these abilities, Cal can perform long-reaching charged moves, which devastate the Sister/
  • Do not attack her when she’s reading Cal’s mind. In her Empathic Force state, the Ninth Sister is untouchable. All Cal can do is parry her base strikes or dodge her charges until her ability wears off.
  • Watch her moves closely because she’s slow. Unlike other Inquisitors, the Ninth Sister is a clumsy fighter. She often reveals her next move with her movement, helping the player predict and counter the attacks effectively.
