Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Well, he is VERY hard to beat. Well he was when i went up against him for the first time...

What i did was i used "drain life" if you're on the dark side, theres Jedi in those capsules that Malak uses to gain health, you can use them too i think if you have "drain life" which is a force power... if you dont have it though, what you can do is hit him and then run around in a circle, if you get low on health take a medpack real quick and continue, go in for a few hits on him but when things get rough start running so he cant hit you and take a medpack, do the same over and over a couple of times and you should have him beaten. Hope this helped.

The well known "cheap tactic" all over Gamefaqs is as follows:

White button pause as soon and the convo ends, and use Force Wave so he can't put up his Force Armor,

Run around the arena, time-to-time throwing your lightsaber at him or using Force speed and some flurrys until you're almost dead. Run around, using medpacks and the red kind often, and repeat until he uses his Jedi things

After that, destroy the Jedi machines, and repeat the first part of the method, when he drops to almost empty health, you can probably turn around and slash him up a bit

Well what I always end up doing is constantly running around the room to get away from him, wait for your force to fill up and then throw your light saber or use force lightning on one of the machines, then keep running so he can't kill you. Make sure you save on occasion that way if he kills you by accident you don't have to start the process over. If you get damaged just keep running and use a force power like Heal til your full health. When all the machines are gone just attack him for a bit and then run away til you can use force to heal yourself and repeat. It might take awhile but then again im a chicken in most cases as I had A LOT of trouble with him even on easy mode.

What I did (light side) was for the final force move was to learn drain life. sounds dumb but I was also wearing the sith mask during the fight making it so that I regained force twice as fast. slash away at him and if your health gets low (if you have drain life use it on the machines) otherwise use the start menu and use a medpack of some sort (its faster that way). also if you have force immunity and something that makes you immune to critical hits, it makes the fight a little bit easier. good luck to ya

There are a few tactics like:

-Use force speed to run away from him and throw lightsaber to attack hin

-Use drain life occasionally, then attack him

-Or you can cheat: attack him (need to at least inflicted 1 damage), save the game, then load the game you just saved and then it'll be your turn to attack once again.

Well those bodies he uses to heal himself you have to destroy (after the first time he uses it) and you can only do it with force moves that do damage (I know force lightning and drain health work) if you don't have a move that can destroy the bodies then you will have to restart the game because it will take forever.

There is a glitch that lets you attack first. To do it the minute you attack and hit what you do is save and reload. How the game is made you will then attack first. So you attack save and reload and do that over and over again until he waists all the bodies.

You must be using a weaker class because the first time I fought him years ago when I knew nothing of how to make a good character I had an easy time, but I did know enough to know what classes were best in combat.

I assume the problem is him regenerating, you want to destroy those pods yourself to stop Malak from healing or better yet use drain life on them and use them for yourself instead.
