Shotgun_fu Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 What is the secret to beating Paladius in The Final Act? The force drain doesn't seem to be removable and Khem Val doesn't seem to be able to do enough damage to kill Paladius before I run out of force to keep him alive. I feel like I'm missing something obvious since I've found no other mentions of this quest here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tendrin Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) If memory serves... Move. No, really. That's it. Just move away from him. Edited December 25, 2011 by Tendrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimskringla Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 If you die and medprobe the debuff doesn't return. Might be a bug. Otherwise, just move. Force run to range, make sure Khem is in a bubble and let him tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivetya Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Its like ever other quest in this tiresome game. They have no skill., they resort to ******** elite mobs with bogus abilities. For those of us who game for a great story we are just ****ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewatcheruatu Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Turned this up in a google search, so I apologize for bumping an old thread. I guess I just suck for not being able to do this fight on my own. I don't know...this just seems a difficult fight for sorcerers. My character does jack squat for damage with Saber Strike and I never built up enough Force to cast a single ability after blowing what I had on static barrier and a couple of heals for Khem. Weird fight. I interrupted his lightning attacks as often as I could and tried to avoid his melee attacks, but I couldn't out DPS him. Only way I beat him was using the medprobe, which brought me back to the fight without the debuff. I'd have to assume that the only reason this bug hasn't been fixed yet is because it's how a lot of people manage to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimex Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Sometimes Khem Val isnt the companion to use. Talos drelik (sp) is VERY useful. As he heals you, you can use the ability which takes your hp and converts it to Force. It's won me a few difficult fights as a sorc. Also, like the guy above said, keep moving. Moving is key x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving is key x Khem is actually your ONLY companion at this point. Wish I'd thought to use the health to force ability, though. Totally forgot about that.

anackerc Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Acutally, I have the solution- confirmed to the point of just doing it in point of fact. Step 1) Shield Khem (to buy yourself some time to move) and send him on the attack.Step 2) RUN AWAY!!!!NOTE:DO NOT run up the ramp/stairs/whatever though! Just run to the edge of the room away from the desk. Step 3) Watch Khem die. (Sucks I know- but the next step is going to hurt even worse...)Step 4) Once Khem's down, Paladius will come come across the room after you- LET HIM! Let him also KILL YOU! NOTE:The REASON is that, once he kills you, he will go BACK across the room to the desk and kneel down to "meditate" or whatever. This means that you can summon the droid to revive you without aggroing him AND seethe up WITHOUT THE DEBUFFS THAT WERE CRIPPLING YOU BEFORE!!!!! Step 5) "Respawn" in the same place, heal and buff up because you finally CAN. NOTE:It's confirmed that you actually leave the debuffs behind after your death but ONLY if you don't leave the area by going to the medbay! Step 6) KICK HIS SORRY *****!!!!!

GryphonSatyr Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, that's actually how I beat him. And when my next Inq comes around... that's how I'll beat him again Acutally, I have the solution- confirmed to the point of just doing it in point of fact. Step 1) Shield Khem (to buy yourself some time to move) and send him on the attack. Step 2) RUN AWAY!!!! NOTE: DO NOT run up the ramp/stairs/whatever though!

SenatorPalpaTANG Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Funny, this fight is a cakewalk for Sins. I can see why it would be a PITA for a sorc though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akorag Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I found another solution . . . The debuff lasts just 20 minutes. Simply wait until it's over, then go back and kick his butt. Post-debuff I died, but then tried shielding and healing Khem to keep him alive, and that worked much better. Both times I hung back at maximum range. I was level 21 with pretty good gear on myself and Khem. Now I wonder if I could have run out of the instance area (without dying), waited for the debuff to end, then run back in and kicked butt.
