The Force Unleashed- Star Destroyer help please

I can get the ship down so that Im turning it towards me but when the TIE fighters get close I have to let go and the ship always starts to back away so I take out the fighters and then I start to do it again and I just do the same thing over and over again.

Any tips?

Same problem. I have it pretty close to the ground but the color on the thumb pad controls stays red, and I can't get the command to pull down. I saw on another post to put the nose up but I havnt had a chance to try it.

Anyone, thoughts?

lets just say that this is the most stupidest sequence i have ever known and its taken me 1 hour and nothing has happened. i regret getting this game as i cant even finish it.Evolution-X0

I just did it earlier today! While I was working on it I was thinking "wow, I am so not willing on playing this again because of this part" but now that I did it, I feel like it wasn't that bad.

It took me about 5 cycles of TIE fighters. I used a combination of force lightning and force throwing them into eachother. I think you just really have to be quick and lucky.

Lucasarts took one of the coolest things ever seen in Star Wars, destroying a Star Destroyer with your bare hands from hundreds of miles away, and completely ruined it. I have been killing TIE fighters for 1 hour, and I am stuck on the third phase of pulling the thing down. I kill all fighters before it even goes back into place, but no matter where I put the nose of the destroyer, I have yet to even see yellow (or green to some) between the analog sticks. Not once. I've moved it everywhere in the area that the sticks show no movement needed. I've let it sit until I have to adjust it. I follow every movement with great detail to make sure I do it right. You'd think it would turn yellow. Nope.

Great idea in theory, totally ruined my gaming experience. At least give me some force points for the hundreds of TIE fighters I've mangled......

I've pretty much perfected this part of the game. Been through it on sith master. Anyways, with every wave of TIE fighters, use force lightning on them. Keep on jumping so that you don't get hit, and when you force lightning a TIE fighter, make sure you go to the left and right edges (whichever side the fighter is on) and jump once, then lightning them.

After the fighters are all dead, grab the destroyer, and just line the ship up with yourself. Ignore the joystick prompts on the screen; they don't lie to you, but if you generally get the idea of what the game is trying to get you to do, you should have no problem. Keep the front of the ship lined up with the center of your screen, and keep it tilted down ever so slightly. Even if the light stays red, just keep it in that center position for about 5 seconds, and it WILL turn green.

The trick is to kill the TIE fighters fast with lighting, so that you give the Destroyer as little time as possible to undo the alignment work that you've done. It should take you about 3 waves, 4 at the most.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. I got frustrated when the game froze at this point and I had to try 3 or 4 times because it kept freezing but yes. Hide behind the pillars and force lightning the hell out of the TIEs. Move quickly and you will get it.

Think every single one of you actually missed what was wrong with my 1st attempt. I am a pro at smoking the TIE's, and pulling the Star Destroyer is easy. Heck, the whole level is pretty easy. My problem was that on the last pull before the cut scene, the analog sticks *NEVER* turned yellow. I repeated the process at least 10 times, doing everything I could think of to get it to work. Never turned yellow. I let the TIE's kill me, then started over, and beat it as fast as one can. The last pull went yellow almost immediately, and I made it to the cut scene.

I would bet that more people are having difficulties like the one I just described. Otherwise, its pretty darn easy. Just frustrated me beyond belief, but at least I know it wasn't me, it was the game... darn bugs.

Oh.

ok first of all, there is an extensive thread on this in the 'force unleashed' forum. it's a sticky.

anyways, I had trouble too, and I changed costumes and lightsaber crystals and it worked. Don't pay attention to the thumbstick prompts- they are messed up. When you move the ship, in order to pull it down you have to make sure it's facing you straight on. When it's nose is facing you and is parallel with the ground (like, make sure the nose is up a bit), just hold it there for 2 seconds and then it should tell you to pull it down. The prob with the thumbstick controls is that it tells you to keep moving the sticks even when you have the ship aligned. Additionally, although you're prolly already doing this, make sure to take the ties out as fast as possible with either lightning or by force gripping them and throwing them into one another.

Simple. force lightening the hell outta the tiefighters QUICKLY and get back to pulling it down. stabbystabstab

Exactly. Don't waste your time with hurling engine cores at the tie fighters. Force lightning and maybe force pull will get rid of a whole tie fighter wave in under a minute.

The key is to take out the tie fighters ASAP.

I can do everthing everyones said except when its says "now rip it down" I cant bring it towards me. What the hell am I doing wrong. this bit is crapping me bad, arent games meant to fun, this is driving me nuts

DON'T listen to the prompts. Forget whether it's green or red, just do it by sight. That part of the game is glitched; it tells you to keep pulling the nose down when it's already aligned. DON'T. Just keep the nose slightly up--same as it was when you pulled it down the first couple of times. And forget about the Tie Fighters. Keep pulling it down until your health is in the red. If you screw it up you'll get your health back by taking out the next wave of Ties. Trust me, I feel your pain man. This part took me like an hour. After reading a couple posts on the forums though, using the advice I've given you in the above, I did it on the first try. You'll get it. And when you do--it's very satisfying.
