Dagan Gera Moveset and Fighting Style 

He can be a bit tricky to beat but if you can read a Jedi’s next move, fighting against them becomes quite easy. Before fighting him, we need to understand how his attacks and fighting style change with each phase.

Phase 1

  • This is the easiest phase as Dagan Gera is relatively weak. He just has two heavy attacks that are unparryable. Hence, you will have to dodge them or you will find yourself in a hard spot.
  • In addition to these two heavy attacks, Dagan Gera will throw his lightsaber toward you. This projectile can be dodged easily.

Phase 2

  • Dagan Gera will come back in Phase 2 with a double-wielded lightsaber, so you need to be even more careful. Dagan Gera will frequently make one of his sabers orbit him and damaging him at this time will only inflict damage to your character.
  • In addition to this ability, Dagan Gera will do successive attacks out of which only a few can be dodged.

 Last Phase

  • This is the strongest of all Dagan Gera’s phases. At the start of the combat, Dagan Gera will have his lost arm back with the use of the Force.
  • Furthermore, there will be two projections of him from the start which can be quite a nuisance.
  • The number of projectiles from Dagan Gera will double in this phase, so watch out!
  • It is not over yet, as in addition to all of these, Dagan Gera will lay out traps constantly.

How to Beat Dagan Gera

Phase 1

  • You should try keeping the fight mid-ranged in this Phase to gain an overall advantage.
  • Make sure you have the dual-wielded stance in this phase as it will allow you to damage quickly.
  • The best way to defeat Dagan Gera in this phase is by exploiting the window you get after breaking his stance or stun meter.

Phase 2

  • You can parry the attacks when Dagan Gera has one of his sabers orbiting him. Doing so will knock off half of his stun gauge. In addition, using the Shatter perk can help you fill Dagan’s stun gauge even faster, allowing you to exploit this to deal a lot of damage.
  • Furthermore, make sure you don’t attack Dagan when he performs his succession of attacks. Instead, you should dodge it and wait for the right moment to break his stance. Breaking his stance will give you a small, but optimal window to take this boss down.

Last Phase

  • You will have Bode in this phase, so use him as a deception to create an opening for yourself to attack Dagan Gera.
  • Furthermore, you need to make sure that you take down both of his projections at the start of the fight as it is fairly easy to do so.
  • The most important thing to beat Dagan Gera in this Phase is accurately timing your dodges as Wall of Force can be really hard to dodge and can deal massive damage.

Recommended Stance and Skills 

  • Phase 1: Dual Wield Stance + Dancing Blade skills
  • Phase 2: Crossguard Stance + Dancing Blade skills
  • Phase 3: Double-Bladed Lightsaber + Vortex Dive skills

Tips for beating Dagan Gera

  • The best tip for beating Dagan Gera is to be patient. He is an easy boss to take down only if you can maintain your calm and not be tempted to attack him all the time.
  • Use abilities like Slow Time ability to extend the cooldown of Dagan’s attack and you can also use this window to heal yourself.
  • Don’t use Force abilities on Dagan Gera as he is quite resilient to them and you will just end up wasting your energy.
