Finding and defeating Gorocco Matriarch in Star Wars Jedi Survivor

Star Wars Jedi Survivor can be challenging as it follows the series tradition of featuring many tough boss battles. You can even face off against myriad daunting creatures in Star Wars Jedi Survivor, with the Gorocco Matriarch being one of them. To locate it, you must head to the Derelict Dam area on Koboh.

You will reach a mine area with multiple cave entrances. You will find a roller mine in this area that tends to follow you and explode upon contact. First, defeat the enemies in the vicinity, then respawn the explosive mine from one of the caves and lure it towards you. It will keep following you, so ensure to walk towards a massive circular mining machinery at the edge of the cliff.

After grabbing the exploding mine, hurl it towards a breakable wall on the opposite side of the cliff you are standing on. This will result in a blast that opens up an entrance for you. Hop down the cliff and feel free to enter the opening. Defeat enemies in the area, including a Gorocco, but remember that this creature is not the target you seek, as it is a weaker species.

Grab the rope at the end of this path and scale it to reach a higher altitude. You will encounter a large yellow door blocking your path. Use Cal Kestis' Lift ability to unlock it and proceed through. At the end of this tunnel, you will spot the Gorocco Matriarch in an open area below you.

Defeating the Gorocco Matriarch

This beast can lunge at Cal if you wait around on the edge of the cliff. It is, therefore, best to hop down immediately after spotting it. Once you drop down, keeping the beast in your sights and staying on the move throughout the battle is ideal.

The Gorocco Matriarch resorts to the following attack patterns:

• It frequently uses a red glowing attack which cannot be blocked. It involves three horizontal swings of its arm, concluding with a slam attack.
• It can unleash a charge attack wherein it runs towards you and hurls its body with legs in your direction.
• You must also watch out for its forward lunge attack that ends with a swing of its right arm.
• The Gorocco can occasionally use a ground attack wherein it slams its arms on Cal.
• It has another slam attack in its arsenal, which involves two slams, each with either of its arms, and a final slam with both fists.

Since there is no scope for dodging any of the Gorocco Matriarch’s attacks, it is wise to escape and try to get to its side and land a few hits. Feel free to peruse this article that covers how to dodge and parry in Star Wars Jedi Survivor. You can leverage Cal’s Slow ability to reduce the speed of the Gorocco Matriarch’s relentless swings.
