I’m beginning to think it’s impossible.
I did a 100% run through SOTE on medium over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Got pretty good so i figured I would give the next difficultly level a try.
I immediately ran into trouble on the second level. The AT ST boss would only drop 1% life when you shot it, so it took about 10-15 minutes to get past him.
I was able to make it orb mantel junkyard before it became near impossible about a third of the way through the level when you are being mowed down by two robots, two flying droids and multiple stationary guns all at the same time while your blaster may as well be a pea shooter.
So I look it up on gamefaqs and apparently it’s a well known fact that Hard mode is even more challenging then Jedi! Wtf!
Gamefaqs claim you need to stack up at least 25 lives for xizors palace and the skyhook level in order to beat it. Basically you need to beat the entire game only loosing 3-4 lives the whole time in order to complete it. Since Jedi is easier maybe I’ll give that a try instead
