In the first phase of this boss fight, Taron Malicos uses his lightsaber strikes combos. The option for you here is to block or parry because it is difficult to directly attack. If you still want to deal some damage then we recommend you to first parry and try to drain his stamina gauge. Once you do this you will have the chance to deal some damage. 

Keep in mind not to get greedy because Malicos can recover very quickly and will be able to block and parry your attacks. After this, he will again start attacking you. Therefore, you will need to quickly land some hits and back off. 

Malicious will also use his aerial attacks that can deal heavy damage and are very difficult to block. Here, you can try to evade roll when you see him using this attack. However, it is not that easy because if you are slow or your timing is incorrect, Malicos can track your movements and attack you more.

How to Beat Taron Malicos: Second Phase

The second phase of this boss fight will begin once the third portion of Malicos’s health is depleted. The boss will use a force push attack where he can knock you to the floor and also use more attacks on you. You will have to quickly recover because it can get very dangerous for you.

Malicos will lunge toward you with one of his lightsabers and throw one of his lightsabers in the air. You will have to be aware of this attack and evade it with good timing so that you can have the opportunity to deal some heavy damage.

How to Beat Taron Malicos: Third Phase

Once he reaches half of his health, he will change his attack patterns and you will have to be more alert now. Malicos will throw multiple rocks continuously at you and it will be very hard for you to block them. Now, what if we say that you can hit him with his own attack. Yes, that is possible when he throws the last rock at you, you can use your Force Push to send that rock back at him. This will deal some damage to him with his own attack. 

You just need to keep blocking his attacks and wait for the right moment to attack him. This fight needs some patience and if you attack recklessly then it will be very difficult for you to beat the boss. So, we recommend you to have some patience, keep blocking and evading his attacks, and then find the opportunity to strike at him.
