Navigating the chaotic opening sequences of Revenge of the Sith in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga brings players face-to-face with Count Dooku. The Out for the Count mission serves as the thrilling conclusion to the rescue operation aboard the Separatist flagship, the Invisible Hand. Successfully completing this level requires a mix of agile lightsaber combat, environment tracking, and keen exploration skills to gather hidden secrets.
Defeating Count Dooku on the Bridge
Your journey begins immediately in the grand chancellor's reception area, where Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi confront the Sith Lord. Count Dooku utilizes a variety of aggressive lightsaber combos and Force attacks that can quickly drain your health pool. Defeating him requires players to master perfect dodges and execute counter-attacks when his defenses drop during the active battle sequence.
As the fight progresses through multiple health thresholds, Dooku will frequently retreat behind a barrier of elite battle droids. Players must focus their damage output on eliminating the surrounding B2 super battle droids before re-engaging the primary boss target. Utilizing the environment by throwing nearby objects with the Force is a great way to break the enemy group formations safely.
Tracking Down Hidden Minikits
Securing full completion on this level demands that players search the entire chamber for five hidden Minikits scattered across the local arena. One elusive collectible is tucked away inside a dark ventilation shaft located near the upper balcony walkways. You will need to utilize a Jedi or Sith character to lift heavy debris and clear the path to the prize.
Another valuable token requires activating a hidden terminal that is exclusively accessible to Protocol Droids. Successfully inputting the correct security code triggers a small hidden compartment in the wall to open automatically. Gathering all these items efficiently rewards players with microfighter components and large amounts of bonus stud currency.
Completing Optional Level Challenges
The level features three distinct optional challenges that test your technical mastery of the unique game mechanics. The first challenge requires you to defeat Dooku within a strict time limit without dying once during the encounter. Achieving this requires constant aggressive positioning and avoiding lengthy cutscene distractions during the boss phase transitions.
The secondary challenge forces players to use the surrounding environment to deal the final blow to an enemy droid protector. You can easily achieve this by targeting the heavy hanging light fixtures located directly above the spawn coordinates of the reinforcements. Successfully dropping these massive objects down instantly satisfies the criteria while clearing the battlefield room in seconds.
Securing True Jedi Status
Amassing enough studs to reach the coveted True Jedi threshold is essential for completionist adventurers seeking to maximize their rewards. Players should focus on destroying every breakable chair, control panel, and decorative pillar lining the edges of the room. Collecting the hidden purple and gold studs scattered behind the main staircase provides a massive financial boost early in the run.
To accelerate your progress toward full completion, players can also revisit the stage in Free Play mode with different character classes unlocked. This allows you to bypass the story restrictions entirely and access specialized tools that simplify the remaining puzzles. With patience and a solid strategy, you can easily conquer this epic cinematic confrontation from beginning to end.
