The Ultimate Force Power Up: Surviving the Rancor Bug in Star Wars Jedi

In a surprising turn of events, a Star Wars Jedi: Survivor player has come across a glitch that seems to imbue a rancor with force powers. While the game does feature enemies with force abilities, this particular occurrence is unique and unexpected. Rancors are already a formidable foe in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, alongside challenging adversaries like the spawn of Oggdo and Rick the Door Technician. Unlike other enemies that may give up mid-battle, rancors are persistent and won't quit until the player is defeated. As a Souls-like game, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor prides itself on providing a difficult combat experience that requires players to bring their A-game. However, as the clip demonstrates, sometimes the odds can be stacked against even the most skilled players.

While attempting to complete the Fractured Malice Force Tear, a player encountered an unfair twist in which they had to fight two rancors at once. Redditor lMisanthropel shared a clip of their unfortunate experience, which ended with one of the rancors hitting the game's protagonist, Cal Kestis. Instead of falling back to the ground, Cal appeared to be struggling as if he was being affected by some sort of Force power. Eventually, he succumbed to the mysterious force and died, forcing the player to restart from the last checkpoint. Despite some gamers having figured out a trick to make the rancor fight easier, it would not have helped in this case. While the cause of the glitch remains unknown, one user suggested that the animation being played may have been the one where Cal is in the rancor's mouth, making it appear as if the player was being eaten by the rancor without actually being in its grasp.

The release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been plagued with numerous bugs that can be categorized into different types. While some of these bugs may seem harmless and even provide entertainment, others like the rancor bug can be quite frustrating and cause players to lose progress. Most concerning, however, are the game-breaking bugs that completely halt a player's progress after investing hours into the game. It is vital that Respawn addresses and resolves these issues to provide a better gaming experience for all players. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is currently available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
