How to Beat AT-ST

The AT-ST, a formidable bipedal Imperial walker, presents a sificant combat challenge in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, particularly during the Kashyyyk chapter. Its heavy armaments and sturdy construction make it a dangerous foe that requires a strategic approach to overcome. This guide details how to defeat the AT-ST.

The AT-ST is encountered in a section of Kashyyyk where Imperial forces are attempting to suppress the Wookiee resistance. Its primary weapons include a chin-mounted laser cannon and side-mounted rocket launchers, capable of dealing massive damage. The walker's legs are also vulnerable, but its height and powerful weaponry make direct assault risky.

Key Strategies for Defeating the AT-ST:

1. Utilize the Environment: The arena where you fight the AT-ST is filled with large trees and debris. Use these as cover to avoid its devastating laser fire. The Wookiee allies can also provide support and distract the walker.
2. Target the Legs: While difficult to reach, the AT-ST's legs are its weak points. Cal can use Force Slow to briefly stop the walker in its tracks, allowing for a window to attack its legs with his lightsaber. Repeatedly striking the legs will eventually stagger the AT-ST.
3. Force Push and Pull: When the AT-ST is staggered, Cal can use Force Push to knock it off balance, causing it to fall. This is a critical moment to deal sificant damage.
4. Dodge and Parry: Even with cover, the AT-ST's attacks can be devastating. Mastering Cal's dodge and parry mechanics is essential for survival. Pay close attention to the visual and audio cues for its attacks.
5. Wookiee Assistance: The Wookiees fighting alongside you can draw the AT-ST's attention, creating opportunities for Cal to flank or attack its vulnerable points.
6. Patience and Persistence: The AT-ST fight can be a lengthy one. It's important to remain patient, focus on defense when necessary, and capitalize on every opening.

Phase Breakdown (General):

• Phase 1: The AT-ST will primarily use its laser cannon and rockets. Focus on using cover and dodging its attacks while looking for opportunities to damage its legs.
• Phase 2: Once its legs are damaged, the AT-ST will become more aggressive and may attempt to stomp. Continue targeting the legs and use Force Slow to create openings for critical damage.
• Final Phase: After sificant damage, the AT-ST will be vulnerable to being pushed over. Execute the Force Push sequence when prompted to bring the walker down.

By combining environmental awareness, precise Force ability usage, and skillful lightsaber combat, You can successfully dismantle the AT-ST and continue their fight for freedom.
