Boss Fight Area
Darth Maul appears at the beginning of the Better Call Maul level in Episode 1 (The Phantom Menace).
You will start this level by using a speeder in the Lake Paonga location to recapture the palace.
The First Stage of the Fight
In this stage, you need to reduce Darth Maul’s large health bar four times. After each reduction, you will have to fight him again in subsequent scenes.
If this is your first boss fight, the game will launch an additional tutorial. You can attack Darth Maul from a distance in two ways:
- Use lightsaber throw – a simple and effective technique to weaken the boss.
- Use the Force – pick up objects in the vicinity and throw them at the enemy.
Darth Maul can start blocking your attacks, so hold down the aiming button to lock the camera on him and keep track of your enemy.
You may also have to engage in melee fights, triggering QTE scenes. All variations involve mashing the indicated button to win the wrestling attempt with Darth Maul.
Avoid Darth Maul’s strong attacks, marked with red stripes. These include lightsaber throws and long jumps. Use dodge to avoid being within the range of the boss’s attack. You can also block attacks during close combat.
The rarest attack of the boss is Force choke. Protect yourself by waving the left analog stick sideways or pressing the side directional keys quickly and alternately.
The Second and Third Phase of the Duel
Weaken Darth Maul until he depletes his first health bar. The boss will run away and you have to chase him. A group of droids will prevent you from catching the boss – use the Force, lightsaber throw abilities, or simply run to them and smash them.
Droids surrounded by a force field will also stand in your way. Use the technique of reflecting projectiles to sabotage their barriers.
To progress in the game, you must reach the first elevator that Darth Maul previously used and defeat a group of regular droids on the upper level. The second duel with Darth Maul begins soon, and the boss can block all attacks, making it impossible to attack him from the front. You must switch to the other hero or ask the other player for help while playing in co-op to attack Darth Maul from behind. After winning the second duel, Darth Maul damages a fragment of the floor, revealing areas that emit electricity. To avoid electric shock, you must jump on subsequent protruding elements and objects. Defeat more droids and use one of the side passages to get closer to Darth Maul. While exploring the side area, repair the damaged elevator by using the Force on the fallen component and placing it in the appropriate slot. Reach the top, eliminate the snipers first, and engage in the third duel with Darth Maul. Use the lightsaber throw tactic often. Run between the force fields when they are turned off to avoid taking damage. Solve the Force-related puzzles twice. In the first puzzle, move the interactive objects to the slots of the same color. In the second puzzle, place a blue object in the left slot, causing a green object to appear in the right slot. Only then can you match all four objects to the different colored slots on the sides of the force field. After completing all puzzles, engage in the last fourth duel with Darth Maul. Defeat him to complete the mission.
