The Ninth Sister is an Inquisitor that was first introduced in Fallen Order. She is a Dowutin with the ability to read minds, the empathic Force. In Jedi Survivor, the Ninth Sister returns with a cybernetic on her right hand because she lost her arm during the initial battle with Cal Kestis.
Unlike the first game, Fallen Order, which depicted the Ninth Sister as one of the toughest boss fights, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor treats her as a low-level enemy. But with the new combat difficulty system, beginner players may need help to take her down quickly, which, in that case, they will find this guide handy. Here’s how to kill the Ninth Sister with no hassle.
How to Defeat the Ninth Sister
To beat the Ninth Sister, parry her basic attacks until her Stamina Meter drains and strike her when she’s defenseless. As for her heavy attacks, use the pull Force on her or dodge to the sides when she glows red. Keep countering her abilities until the Dual Stance unlocks, and she gives up.
The Ninth Sister Moves | 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 |
Follow these steps to defeat the Ninth Sister:
- Start the fight by parrying her attacks.
- Deflect her projectiles by pressing LB (L1 on PlayStation)
- Attack only when her guard breaks.
- Press LT (L2 on PlayStation) to interrupt her heavy attacks.
- Do not strike when she’s using her Empathic Force.
- Parry her strikes in the Empathic state, so she can’t predict Cal’s moves.
- Once the Dual Stance is unlocked, hold Y (Triangle on PlayStation) to beat her for good.
Note that the Ninth Sister boss fight has three phases. In the first phase, she only uses her double-bladed lightsaber. In the second one, she predicts every move of the player with her Empathic Force. And in the final phase, she combines lightsaber, Force, and heavy attacks. Every time the player drains one-third of her health, the new stage begins, and she attacks with stronger skills.
Tips for Killing the Ninth Sister Faster
Unlock the Lunging Strike and Dash Strike for the Single Lightsaber Stance. With these abilities, Cal can perform long-reaching charged moves, which devastate the Sister.
Do not attack her when she’s reading Cal’s mind. In her Empathic Force state, the Ninth Sister is untouchable. All Cal can do is parry her base strikes or dodge her charges until her ability wears off.
Watch her moves closely because she’s slow. Unlike other Inquisitors, the Ninth Sister is a clumsy fighter. She often reveals her next move with her movement, helping the player predict and counter the attacks effectively.
What Happens After Beating the Ninth Sister
By defeating the Ninth Sister, players unlock the Dual Wield Stance and earn a trophy/achievement called Rooftop Duel. Afterward, they proceed to Hangar 2046-C, where they join Bode and Bravo and head to the next planet, Koboh.
