  4 TIPS. QUICK N EASY:
  
  1. USE THE FOCUS CRYSTAL FOR YOUR SECONDARY SABER AT ALL TIMES. YOUR FORCE ENERGY RE-CHARGES INFURIATINGLY SLOW ON UNLEASHED DIFFICULTY, SO THE LESS FORCE POWER YOU USE, THE BETTER.
  
  2. MIND TRICK LEVEL 3 IS A MUST. HIT EVERY ENEMY POSSIBLE WITH THIS ON EVERY STAGE OF THE GAME! IT WILL BUY YOU TIME TO DEAL WITH UN-MIND-TRICKED ENEMIES, AND WILL ELIMINATE WEAKER ENEMIES ALTOGETHER. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE FIGHT WITH VADER AT THE END WILL BE 1000 TIMES EASIER! TRUST ME.
  
  2. A FULLY CHARGED LEVEL 3 SABER THROW WILL KILL ANY AT-ST OR WARDROID IN ONLY 2 THROWS. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO KILL THEM. ALSO, PARRYING THE ROCKETS SHOT AT YOU BY THE AT-MP'S IS TOO RISKY (YOU'LL LOSE UP TO A WHOLE 3RD OF YOUR LIFE IF YOU SCREW-UP THE TIMING!) - FORCE GRAB THEM INSTEAD, AND SIMPLY THROW EM BACK. :)
  
  3. WHEN FIGHTING VADER, IMMEDIATELY THROW LIGHTNING AT HIM. THIS HE WILL DEFLECT. WHILE HE IS DEFLECTING THE LIGHTNING, DASH AT HIM AND HIT HIM WITH THE 3-HIT X-X-Y COMBO. HE CANNOT BLOCK THIS. THROW LIGHTNING AGAIN. HE WILL DEFLECT. HIT HIM WITH X-X-Y AGAIN. WASH, RINSE, REPEAT. BUT DON'T GET GREEDY! CONTINUE THIS PATTERN, MIND TRICK THE CLONES WHEN NECESSARY, AND YOU WILL CRUISE RIGHT THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE FIGHT. :)
  
  4. WHEN FIGHTING VADER IN THE FINAL SEGMENT, USE THE SAME STRATEGY AS ABOVE - IT WORKS AMAZINGLY WELL! I WAS ABLE TO KICK HIS ASS IN A MATTER OF MINUTES! THROW LIGHTING, X-X-Y, THROW LIGHTING, X-X-Y, ETC. DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR PROXIMITY TO THE TOWERS - JUST KEEP ATTACKING HIM. IF YOU DO HAPPEN TO GET HIT BY THE LIGHTNING TOWERS, NO BIGGIE. JUST THROW LIGHTING AGAIN, DASH AT HIM, AND CONTINUE THE ONSLAUGHT! IF ANYTHING, YOU WILL BE WHACKING HIM ALL AROUND THE ARENA, AND WILL SHOVE HIM UP AGAINST THE TOWERS EVEN FASTER USING THIS METHOD! THEN JUST SHOCK THE SHIT OUT OF HIM! :) WHEN HE'S DONE GETTING SHOCKED, HE'LL TRY TO THROW LIGHTNING AT YOU. SIMPLY BLOCK UNTIL HE'S DONE, DASH AT HIM, THROW YOUR OWN LIGHTNING, AND CONTINUE WHIPPING HIS DARKSIDE! (HAHA, GET IT?) KEEP IT COOL, STICK WITH THE PATTERN, AND YOU WILL OWN HIM.

  Just a heads up for future reference. If you're beating all the chapters in sequential order via chapter select, make sure after you complete the first chapter on Unleashed, that it registers. You can exit to main menu and highlight the chapters under chapter select and it will tell you which difficulty you last completed it on. For some reason the game might not give you credit for being the first chapter on Unleashed (despite it clearly being set to the difficulty gameplay-wise).
  
  This common glitch occurred with me where after I beat the game on Unleashed, I received no achievements. Upon going into chapter select, I realized I got credit for clearing all stages except the first one. After beating the first stage again on Unleashed, everything popped.
  
  Beware of this minor glitch when going for this achievement to avoid having to beat the first stage twice on Unleashed.

  Does that cheat glitch from the previous game work?

  ***SPOILERS ALERT!!!!***
  OK, I just got this achievement so here the guide it will take me some time to complete the guide but please bear with me and I will take suggestions and tips as well, thanks.
  
  I have confirmed that you cannot play through the game on "Easy" and then change the difficulty setting to "Unleashed" before you finish the final boss, this will NOT unlock the achievement. Each level must be STARTED on "Unleashed" mode and finished for this achievement to unlock.
  
  (I beat the game on "Unleashed", waited for the credits and my achievement did not pop up... I looked at my level select and noticed the first level was not beat on unleashed, I must have changed the difficulty form Easy to "Unleashed" after I beat the game once.)
  
  "Unleashed" mode can only be unlocked by finishing the game on ANY difficulty. And if you did as I did, start the game on "Easy" then beat the game on "Unleashed" all lower difficulties will also unlock. The achievement should pop right when the FINAL cut-scene starts after you choose which side (Light or Dark).
  
  The differences on "Unleashed": #1 Enemies do more damage, #2 You receive less health for each enemy you kill, #3 Your Force Bar takes longer to replenish, #4 You have no Health Regeneration, NONE whatsoever. #5 Your Force Bar depletes faster. I think that is all the differences between the difficulty settings.
  
  Boss #1: Space ship. (forgot the name of it :P)
  This guy isn't very hard at all even on hardest difficulty. When hes using his lasers just hide behind the barricades. Only come out when he shoots one missile at a time, rebound these single missile attacks either by using Force Grip or your parry move (press the X button 1 second before the missile hits you). When he does the 4 missile attack simply hide behind the barricades or move out of the way. Press the button combinations when prompted. Rinse and Repeat and you have him.
  
  Boss #2: Gorog
  This guy is the 2nd toughest boss in the game I think.
  Phase 1 attacks:
  Hand Swipe: Double jump and mid-air dash out of the way.
  Fist Pound: Dash out of the way.
  Palm Pound: This one is quick and has much more range than the Fist Pound. Just wait until the last second and Super Dash out of the way (Super Dash is performed by dashing and immediately performing the force push maneuver after you dash, it give you a little extra of a dash and knocks down any enemies in your direct path.).
  Breath Attack: Block.
  Double Ground Pound: Lightning 1 hand, it will take just slightly over a full bar of lightning if your force bar is 100% maxed out. Follow through with the button sequence, then rinse and repeat for the 2nd hand.
  Extended Breath Attack: Block until his face is turned the other way, then lightning him. You'll need to do this until all of his green bar is gone.
  
  Phase 2: He is quicker in phase too and there are stormtroopers every now and again as well.
  Triple Hand-Stomp: Wait till he smashes twice then dash out of the way before his 3rd smash.
  Force Push seems to be most effective as it uses very little force power and its does the most damage. You'll want to switch to lightsaber attacks when hes hanging form the top though.
  
  Phase 3: Compared to the 1st 2 phases this one is a joke, simply dodge upwards and use force push to break through the objects that are incoming. Also use the Dash maneuver to speed this phase up, when you get closer try to upwards dodge and force lightning him. once you get even close just use Lightsaber Throws. This phase isn't hard at all. Good luck. I think I spent a little over an hour on this dude my 1st time through on "Unleashed" difficulty.
  
  Boss 3: Large Spider thingy (Steve)
  This dude himself isn't tough- its all the little guys around him. TOP PRIORITY- take out the "Disappearing Siths" 1st, as they are the most formidable. To do this effectively just Force lightning them once the appear near you, they will be stunned now, so smash in a lightsaber combo or 2 and they are done for. Also anytime you see a "blinky mini spider" coming up on you then Force Repulse him, no need to charge it up. Use the explode Barrels nearby to Force Grip and throw at the "Large Spider", they do massive amounts of damage. Remember to keep dashing this whole fight and try to fight away from the "Large Spider", only once you've taken out enough enemies or received enough health form killing lots of small spiders, then you should go and attack the big spider. At one point the "Large Spider" will get his shields up, then you need to place all 4 power converters back into their slots (remember to Force Repulse all the "blinky mini spiders" before doing this on each power converter). Once that is done, attack him some more then you will be able to ride him. This is the easy part- simply use your missile and laser attacks to kill all the "human size spiders" around, (I think there is 3 or 4 of them.), then move the "Large Spider" into the large beam. End of fight. The tough thing about this fight is all the dudes that are attacking you at once, rather than 1 dude. Best of Luck! This was the hardest fight for me.
  
  More to come soon.

  Also for the spider the crates were such an enormous help I was struggling on the 2nd checkpoint of the fight and I didn't know what to do. My god that helped soooooo much.

  I did by chapter select and difficulty unleashed and the level is still done on easy... what the hell? It was way harder than easy... bad registered glitched game!

  Posted by ParadoxReal8 on 20 May 17 at 14:10

  Difficulty glitch happened to me too. I clearly and know for a fact that I began my Unleashed playthrough on the first stage, played all the way through up to beating Vader, but achievement did not pop right before credits.
  
  I exited to main menu, checked the chapter select. All chapters were listed as last being completed on Unleashed except it said I last cleared the first stage on Easy despite me clearly already beating it on Unleashed previously. After replaying the first stage AGAIN on Unleashed, all the achievements popped during the cutscene. The weird thing is, when I originally beat the first stage on Unleashed, it was SET to the hardest difficulty because I was taking way more damage and my Force Powers were regenerating way slower but for some reason I still never got credit for clearing it on Unleashed.
  
  This glitch may have something to do with beating the game on a set difficulty and reverting to the first stage on a new difficulty before the game properly registers it. I suggest that anyone who beats the first stage on Unleashed to back out and check to make sure the game registers it so that the difficulty-based achievements can unlock properly after you defeat Vader on the final chapter.

  Guide for the Vader Fight:
  
  Phase 1: The Tower.
  
  In this part you will be in a "dream mode" for part of it. You have limited look, limited movement, walking through halls and Vader will pop out and saber-lock you every so often. Loosing these doesn't seem to have any impact on your health.
  
  After the dream mode you will encounter Vader on the cloning tower. Follow him up it. Dashing attacks to his unguarded side (The hand not holding the saber) are effective to a point. If you can dash past him and attack from behind you do more damage faster, but it is hard to do that. Every so often Vader will release your clones on you. If you can mind trick them, they will attack him and allow you to attack and do even more damage.
  I was rarely able to trick all the clones at once. I usually would end up with no force power and 2 clones left. Just kill them for the health. You will need it.
  
  Parry and counter attacks also get you some good damage and keep you fairly safe. Wait until Vader is pulling his saber back and then hold LT until he strikes. He will be pushed back a bit and then you can press your attack against him. Don't get greedy. Any time you engage him with the saber take 3 or 4 swipes and then dash out. After about 5 he gets his wits about him, and gets mad and begins a flurry of his own that is hard to parry.
  
  If he raises his hand like he is about to strike while you are more than saber striking distance away, block. He is about to throw his saber at you.
  
  
  Phase 2: The Lightning Rods
  
  This is the part where you fight Vader outside and are in Force Furry the whole time. Unlike in the rest of the game Force Furry does NOT make you invincible here. Don't act like you are.
  
  The key to this part is the lightning. And it goes both ways. Vader can stand between the rods and not get hurt. You cannot. On the other hand, trying to keep him near them is your best bet to win this part quickly. Dash at him and smash X as fast as you can. The idea is to get him into a saber-lock near one of the lightning rods. Don't screw up the lock as he will do massive damage if you do. If you win it though you throw him up on the rod and have to hit Y fast. The faster you hit it the more damage you do while he is up there. In this manner you can do the same amount of damage in seconds that it would take you 10 minutes to do in normal fighting.
  
  When he comes down from the rod however, do not press the attack. Run and block. He will bring both his hands up and draw lightning to you. This will take out 1/2 to 3/4 of your health bar in one instance if you don't block it.
  
  After you get Vader up on a rod for the 3rd time he will have little health left and it will stop going down with a tiny bit left. This means the end is very near. He will come down, throw you and you will be left hanging. Hit left on the LS 3 times to avoid his saber throws and then be ready to tap B. You will have to tap B until you pick up the spire he has thrown at you, and hold RT while tapping B again to throw another one back. Once you have done that you have won. It's just a matter of choosing light or dark side at the end of the game.

  Damn I wish I'd known about throwing him against the rods. Made the fight much easier on hard using this strategy than it was on either medium or easy without it! D'Oh!!!

  Posted by Mr J1m on 17 Nov 10 at 14:59

  Pay attention to Vader's stance in the first half of the fight (indoors) - if he's holding his saber in front of him with both hands, be prepared to parry his attacks; if he's holding his saber with one hand down to the side, you have leave to whip his ass with a flurry of saber attacks. It should also be noted to never use repulse or push, Vader will always reflect them back at you.
  
  During the second half of the fight (outdoors) be aware that you can only block his lightning attack from a distance. In addition, I pressed the attack the entire second half of the fight, as it seems Vader is vulnerable to damage regardless of his stance. I kept mashing the saber attack button the entire time I wasn't preparing to parry, and finished the entire sequence about 3/4 health (cause I got sluggish on a couple of parries).
  
  In all, don't be afraid of Vader -- he's slow as hell and swings far too widely, and his attacks can be easily parried, allowing you to open a can of whoop ass on him.

  Yeah, the key to defeating Vader is block and then strike. When you block him and attack, you get a chunk of his health off. Do that in the clone spire area, and don't forget to Mind Trick the clones to attack Vader. That will help you a lot.
  Once you get to the outside battle, line him up with the lightning tower behind him, block and attack, and if you do line him up it will always prompt the animated scene where it tells you to hit certain buttons. He will get plastered to the rod, and you will get his power down. Rinse and repeat. I figured this all out on Unleashed difficulty, and it worked like a charm. You may even be able to defeat him before he gets in too many, if any, lightning attacks.
