Part 34: General Grievous and Grievous Intrigue

GENERAL GRIEVOUS
Chapter 6
GRIEVOUS INTRIGUE

Returning from a routine patrol, Jedi Master Eeth Koth is unaware that General Grievous has selected him to act as bait to lure Obi-Wan Kenobi into a face-to-face confrontation.

Now, Eeth Koth must overcome Grievous' MagnaGuards and alert Obi-Wan to the danger ahead. . .

-- Opening Act --

The ship is attacked and as the CS plays out it becomes obvious that not all Clone Troopers are the brave and resourceful warriors we expect -- and it can be hard to enjoy an undisturbed cup of tea in this universe!

As you take control of Koth, you hear the enemy trying to break down the blast door, and you fight off wave after wave of the more powerful and dangerous droids before the General himself shows up!

Now, you have been here before -- you know you need to hit him with an object to get the red hearts, then use your saber.  When you get him down to one heart though, you get taken prisoner because that is how the script reads, Bubbah!

The General sends a challenge to Obi-Wan who, naturally, comes running along with Anakin and company to save the day!

-- The Two Party System --

Anakin is leading Party 1, Obi Party 2 -- and you start out playing as Annie.

By now you know the drill -- smash everything to collect Studs and unlock True Jedi to start, battling your way up the long corridor.  As you smash objects you will reveal valve wheels that you insert into the steam pipes (these are collection items) so pay attention to those as you go, right?

Use the Jedi Spot to reveal a third power globe thingy -- it should not take you long to figure out that you need to destroy the three before any can reset -- the best way being to stand close enough to target the pair on the right with a single saber throw, then saber slash the one in the wall -- easy-peasy lemon-squeezy!

The force field is not down and you can continue up the corridor from here, and when you get to the top clear out the enemy and smash up the crates, and then Force hold a Battle Droid to blow away the Gold crate to reveal more power globes. 

Use The Force to move reveal the third globe and then take them out, head on to the Bridge and use the droid head to trick the console into releasing Koth, at which point you change teams!

The Epic Grievous Battle

-- Team Obi-Wan --

The General shows up and you have another battle, throwing a create to get the red hearts, at which point DO NOT attack him!  Instead, pick him up with The Force and throw him into a wall to damage him.  Simply rinse and repeat until he is down to one heart at which point he will run away.

You use Jedi Spots to carve through the doors taking out any droids you encounter until you finally catch up with him, for the final battle!

To complete this battle you have to change characters as he can only be damaged by attacking him from behind.  This is a little tricky, but you will get the hang of it -- it is all about rhythm and timing.

Once you take out his last heart he tries to crawl away, and you end up trapped on a ledge.  You are then prompted to change teams again.  Do that.

-- Pilot in Command --

You find yourself outside in a starfighter with the battle fierce around you.  Land on the nearby pad and  go to the window ahead and slash it then use The Force to break it open.  Carve open the wall and smash the circuits inside, then change back to Obi and saber toss the yellow panel to complete the last platform, then climb out of the pit and chase after the General.

Follow the path out and repair and turn on the torpedo dispenser, then switch back to Annie and use the dispenser to arm his fighter, taking out the four targets and then landing to pick up the rest of the crew.

That completes the story, unlocking the characters Eeth Koth and Adi Gallia, as well as the Jedi Shuttle.  You also unlock two Gold Bricks, and a large amount of Studs -- and the Achievement "We live to fight another day" (10 GP)!

You did not have the satisfaction of putting the General to death, but hey, good job on finishing the story!  Now there is a lot still for us to do -- this is not the end!

The end CS shows the battleship blowing up, and the General spinning off into space, and then the credits roll!

This is but a brief visit to the Bridge before we move on to the very last bits of the story -- first an epilogue that is entitled "The Zillo Beast" that we find on the map at the confluence of all of the stories.
