Once again, the Starkiller clone finds himself in a perilous situation. Having just defeated the Imperial gunship, he scrambles across the faltering transport and leaps across its top.
As the ship continues to fall, he flies across the sky and lands inside a tall, shaftlike tower. The tower leads down to the main arena. He’s arrived at the Tarko-se arena.
The Tarko-se Arena
Both the Saber Crystal and Experience Points holocrons can be found in the drum-lke area before entering the arena.
Meet the Gorog
The vent deposits you at a gated drumlike area deep beneath the Tarko-se arena. When the gate drops, you see a hanging skeleton of a massive creature. Drop down and locate the elevator platform nearby.
Step onto the platform and ride it up to the arena. The massive arena is full of spectators, but only one matters. The baron, safe atop his viewing deck, has had enough of your meddling.
With no one left to oppose you, the baron orders his Neimoidian attendee to send out the Gorog. The Neimoidian is shocked at the request. He insists that the arena’s restraints are not ready for the Gorog to be unleashed.
Still, the baron insists. His fury may be the only thing that matches the Gorog’s. Meanwhile, down on the arena floor, you join General Rahm Kota, who is very pleased to “see” you.
Just then, the sliding door across the arena opens, releasing a large, hungry...rancor? You relax your defensive stance somewhat, relieved that the beast that ambled out was a measly rancor. But before you can leap to the attack, a large three-fingered hand rises over the rancor and smashes it completely.
The rancor disappears into a pit. That is when the rest of the beast hoists itself out of the hole. The Gorog is a massive monster, as big as the arena itself! When it sees you, it lowers its rancor-sized head and roars. You’re in for a fight!
The Gorog is a titanic brute. Despite having a huge cranium, it doesn’t seem to have much to fill it. Luckily, that means it doesn’t exactly have a sophisticated repertoire of attacks.
The Gorog begins its attacks by sweeping its hand across the arena to swipe you away. It immediately follows up its attack by slamming down the other hand—the one he didn’t use to swipe. Double-jump dash over his swiping hand, then dash away from the slamming attack.
Wait for the monster to raise its hand to attack again, and hit it with Force Lightning and Saber Throw attacks. While its hand is in the air, look for the red shadow it casts on the ground. If you’re in the shadow, you’ll get smashed, so dash out of the way!
Continue dodging the Gorog’s attacks until it gets so angry that it roars at you. If the beast’s roar hits you, it’ll knock you down but won’t dish out much damage. To stay on your feet, block the roar with your lightsabers and counterattack with Saber Throw and Force Lightning.
Continue dodging and counterattacking until the Gorog slams its hand down again. When it does, bombard the Gorog’s fist with Force Lightning attacks!
Eventually, the shackles around the Gorog’s fist absorb enough electricity that they become magnetic. Seize the opportunity and use Force Push to slam the hand back until it is locked in place against the magnetic lock high above the arena.
Repeat this process with the second hand, using mostly Force Lightning or lightning-infused attacks until you charge the second manacle. Once it’s fully charged, Force Push the hand in place until it is locked.
With both of the Gorog’s hands locked against the arena supports, its head is defenseless. Zap it with Force Lightning or slice it with Saber Throw, then use Force Grip to grab its head and slam it into the ground! Not only does it anger the Gorog greatly, but it also inflicts major damage.
After slamming its head into the ground, the Gorog becomes so angry it rips its hands off the supports and begins attacking again! Repeat the process a second time; power its manacles, attach them to the supports, and slam its head.
Your second round of attacks weakens the Gorog even more. So much, in fact, that you can leap onto its head and run your sabers directly into its brain. Perhaps a lobotomy will calm this titan.
Leap onto the Gorog’s head and carefully follow the onscreen commands until you rip off the metal plate on the creature’s head. When you stab the monster’s massive head, it rears back in anger, plucks you off its arm as you try to escape, and flings you across the arena.
Rather than lobotomize the beast, you just made it even more angry! It begins to tear through the arena as you dust yourself off, having been thrown onto the upper levels of the structure.
In order to bring the monster down, you’ll have to bring the city down on top of it. Rush to the right and do away with the nearby stormtroopers—simply Force Push them off the walkway.
Once again, double-jump dash the monster’s swiping attack. Fry the Gorog with Force Lightning and weaken it again. You won’t cause much damage, but you will make it angrier. Anger it enough to make it tear down the structure on the right.
When it does, rush around to the rear of the structure, fighting past stormtroopers as you go, and climb to the top. As you reach the top, the Gorog grabs ahold of the support. Strike down its hand and make the Gorog tear the structure loose.
The Gorog tears off the structure’s support, forcing you to hop down onto the next section of the arena. Dash toward the stormtrooper squad, and take them all down quickly before returning your attention to the Gorog.
Resume your attack on the Gorog, and lure it toward the next tower. Rush up the tower and strike it down.
This time, the beast tears off the support and everything begins to crumble. Storm across the falling platforms until you reach the baron’s viewing room.
When you land, you find the baron and his protection detail in a battle with Master Kota! The battle is short, as you deflect the troopers’ blaster fire back at them. The Gorog smashes through the room, and the baron plunges directly into the monster’s massive mouth!
The arena supports finally give away, and everything begins to fall to the planet’s surface! The monster grabs Master Kota and takes him down the miles-long plunge to Cato Neimoidia below.
The Plunge
Without hesitation, you leap down, chasing after the plummeting beast. The debris from the falling city flies up at you at dangerous speed. Use Force Push blasts to destroy the debris as it flies at you and get it out of the way and use dash to speed up your descent
However, don’t use Force Push repeatedly; you’ll use up all your Force Energy. Instead, carefully choose the pieces of debris to destroy. Demolish the large pieces and dodge the smaller ones.
Some pieces are so big that you may have to blast them twice to destroy them. Others may be easier; blast them once to punch a hole, then fly through the hole to avoid taking damage.
Dodge and destroy the debris as you descend, and reach the Gorog. Waste no time in launching your attack; the Gorog grasps Kota and squeezes the life out of him in the process!
Glide up and down, avoiding the Gorog’s sweeping attacks as you fall, and bombard the beast with blasts of Force Lightning. Saber Throws are also very effective against the mindless brute. Attack and evade as you fall.
If the Gorog swats you away, you’ll fall back a little bit and lose precious time; remember, Master Kota’s life hangs in the balance, so be quick! When you regain your composure, you’ll pull in closer to the Gorog’s ugly face. Use Force Lightning up close to burn massive amounts of health from the monster’s Health bar.
Eventually, the monster manages to pull away, and you’re forced again to battle through the debris. Obliterate the chunks of rock and city until you reach the monster a second time. Resume your attack and electrocute the Gorog’s head until it can take no more.
Finally, follow the onscreen command to create a Force funnel around yourself and speed toward your falling foe at superspeed. You fly down so quickly that you burst through the Gorog, finally killing it and forcing it to release the Jedi.
As you and Master Kota free-fall to the planet’s surface below, you realize that you’ve no way to survive this. Luckily, the Rogue Shadow (Starkiller’s ship) is nearby and zooms in just in time to pluck you from your free fall. You speed away to safety with Master Kota.
