The Ninth Sister, a formidable Inquisitor introduced in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, has a unique background as a Dowutin with empathic Force abilities, allowing her to read the minds of her opponents. In her return in Jedi Survivor, she has a cybernetic enhancement on her right hand, a result of her arm being severed during her battle with Cal Kestis.
In contrast to her portrayal in Fallen Order, where she was considered a challenging boss, Jedi Survivor categorizes her as a more manageable adversary. Nonetheless, even new players may find her difficult, especially with the revised combat difficulty settings. This guide aims to provide you with strategies for overcoming her without undue stress.
Updated on February 21, 2025, by Mohsen Baqery: With the recent inclusion of Jedi Survivor in PS Plus, a surge of new players exploring the game may be unfamiliar with the Ninth Sister. This guide is revamped to offer deeper insights and practical tips to ensure a smooth victory against this character.
Overview of the Ninth Sister
- Former Name: Masana Tide
- Species: Dowutin
- Battle Phases: Three
- Best Weapon Against Her: Double-Bladed Stance
- Expected Fight Duration: Approximately 5 to 7 minutes
As the second story boss you encounter in Jedi Survivor, the Ninth Sister’s battle takes place on Coruscant and features three increasingly challenging phases. Initially, she focuses on melee attacks that players can effectively counter through parries and dodges. As the fight progresses, she utilizes her empathic abilities to anticipate player moves, and in the final phase, she incorporates ground slams, inflicting area-of-effect damage.
Strategies for Defeating the Ninth Sister
To conquer the Ninth Sister, utilize the following tactics:
- Parry her basic strikes until her Stamina Meter is depleted, allowing you to attack when she is vulnerable.
- When she performs heavy attacks, employ the Pull Force or dodge sideways when her lightsaber glows red.
- Continuously counter her techniques until the Dual Stance is activated, prompting her eventual retreat.
| The Ninth Sister’s Moves | How to 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 |
Here are the steps to successfully defeat the Ninth Sister:
- Begin the encounter by parrying her initial attacks.
- Use the LB (L1 on PlayStation) button to deflect her projectiles.
- Launch your attacks only when her guard is broken.
- Press LT (L2 on PlayStation) to interrupt her heavy hits.
- Avoid striking when she is employing her Empathic Force abilities.
- In her Empathic state, parry her strikes to reduce her predictability.
- Once you access the Dual Stance, hold Y (Triangle on PlayStation) to secure the final blow.
Remember, the Ninth Sister’s battle is structured across three distinct phases. In the first phase, her attacks are primarily melee with her lightsaber. The second phase sees her predicting all player movements using her empathic powers, while in the final phase, she incorporates a combination of lightsaber, Force powers, and heavier attacks. As players chip away at her health, she escalates her offensive tactics accordingly.
Tips for a Quicker Defeat of the Ninth Sister
- Unlock Lunging Strike and Dash Strike for the Single Lightsaber Stance. These abilities will enable Cal to execute long-reaching charged moves that are crucial against the Ninth Sister.
- Avoid attacking during her mind-reading phase, as she is impervious during this time. Utilize parries and dodges to evade until her ability expires.
- Observe her movements closely; her slower fighting style makes it easier for players to anticipate and counter her attacks effectively.
