Zeik is a humanoid who works for Rayvis, the leader of the Bedlam Raiders. In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Cal comes across this boss in Rambler’s Reach Outpost, where he attempts to torture Turgle, the frog-like alien. But unlike most other boss fights, the battle with Zeik is quick; it takes only a few attempts for Cal to overpower him. With this guide, however, players can learn tips and tricks to defeat Zeik in less than a minute.
How to Beat Zeik in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
To beat Zeik in Jedi Survivor, break his defense by parrying four of his attacks and strike when his guard is down. Since Zeik is not Force-sensitive, a good strategy is to push him away with Force and finish him with heavy lightsaber combos.
The following table shows how to counter all of Zeik’s moves.
Zeik’s Attack | Counter |
Basic Spear Strike | Parry or Dodge |
Lunge | Dodge |
Heavy Spear Strike (Red) | Dodge (Cannot Be Parried) |
Pin Down | Spamming the Action Button |
Like the Ninth Sister, Zeik has unbreakable attacks marked by red color. When he glows red, don’t parry. Instead, dodge behind his back and attack him from behind.
How to Kill Zeik with 3 Stabs
Because Zeik’s boss fight happens in an open area, he is prone to a glitch that breaks the entire battle. To kill Zeik with only three lightsaber stabs, players will need to leave the arena as soon as the fight begins. This will cause Zeik to stop chasing them and, instead, freeze. Players can then sneak behind his back for a stealth strike, which drains one-third of his HP. (Repeating this process three times will kill Zeik with no received damage.)
Best Stance and Skill for Beating Zeik
While the dual-wield is a good choice, the best stance for defeating Zeik is double-bladed. With this lightsaber, players can parry his basic strikes and lunge toward him when he runs away with his jetpack.
As for the skills, the ideal upgrade for the Zeik boss fight is the Vortex Dive, which allows for a heavy lunge that closes the gap between Cal and Zeik.
Tips for Beating Zeik Faster
- Don’t fight in the corners. Zeik has a special attack that only activates when he’s cornered.
- Watch out for his jetpack move. Zeik’s lunge can pin down Cal and drain his HP quickly—especially in higher difficulties. Players can tell he’s about to make this move by following his animations. (If he drifts back mid-battle, he’s about to lunge.)
- Go with fast strikes, not heavy ones. Zeik’s boss fight is like that of Dagan Gera. He’s not strong, but he’s fast. So, players are advised to focus on quick, close-range jabs instead of slow, heavy ones.
