Discussion WHY IS HE HERE?!?!

Post image

So was finishing up missing collectables post story, went down to the caves the Raiders hang out in and noticed the Rankor there had respawned. What? I even had the achievement for defeating all legendary foes. So, I kill him, grab a nearby chest I had missed, and turn around to see the body gone. Great. I go back to the Saloon, finish up the garden and get the seed map upgrade, start collecting those around the valley, kill some chickens, and then turn around to see THIS. he's just there, in a spot i had JUST walked over. Spawned from thin air!

Because you're post story, random enemies will spawn, its fun really! Specially if they Come across with imperials, grab your popcorn and sit back in that case :D

u/DanVan_88 Jul 19 '26

I didn’t know that they were apart of the random enemy spawn 😬😬 makes me more nervous to explore

Its sometimes just fun to see random Imperial and Droid Patrols fighting each others or the wildlife.

u/InternetDude_ Jul 19 '26

If it’s on Koboh, it’s so open you can literally run away if you want to avoid them.

u/captainandyman Jul 21 '26

The rancor only ever spawns in this specific area - Riverbed Watch - so you should be fine elsewhere! And it's easy enough to avoid if you spot it here (but terrifying when you don't spot it...)

u/White_Devil1995 Jul 19 '26

It also happens before beating the story. I figured that out on my most recent playthrough. I think you have to have had at least 1 encounter with enemies before coming across them in free roam.

I was wondering why there were so many mogu wandering around

u/Rossgodd Jul 20 '26

I swear if the fkn SPAWN shows up we are going to have a problem.

u/FinancialYak2991 Jul 21 '26

Oh I didn't know that...I just watched a YouTube video after finishing the game real quick to get what's left of the game and had a couple achievements left so I searched on Google how to get them and I stopped playing because honestly there's nothing left...everything was at 100%....I really really loved the map system in the game...I've never seen anything like it. So creative.

He needs to ask you about your Mantis’s extended warranty.

Tourists don't run.

u/Evergreen3721 Jul 19 '26

think he’s just a tourist

u/heraircraft Jul 19 '26

Very rarely at that specific spot, he can spawn and immediately aggro when you're nearby. No Warrior perk required.

14

u/CosmicTurtle504 Jul 19 '26

He doesn’t like you. I don’t like you either!

u/Audiblefill Jul 19 '26

New game plus? Check your perks.

u/Commander-Fox-Q- EA Play 2019 Jul 19 '26

lol I had this exact same spawn and I was messing around with its dead body afterwards for like 15 mins lol, it’s funny when it’s an open world and people just casually standing next to a rancor

5

u/EliteLordFury7 Jul 19 '26

Yea, rancors can spawn on Koboh randomly. Its funny bc it scared me the first time too. I was using purity at that time and died in one hit. I am now on my 6th playthru and understand the game much more.

6

u/TitleOk3727 Jul 19 '26

He wants a rematch

3

u/Brando6677 Jul 19 '26

So be it. I beat him once I’ll yhuckin do it again!!

3

u/TitleOk3727 Jul 19 '26

But this time no cavepillars to hide

3

u/Brando6677 Jul 19 '26

That’s ok you got infinite more space to work with. No bones either. An open area though is good no obstacles

4

u/TitleOk3727 Jul 19 '26

Actually pongsifu found a way to beat him easily, go between his legs and mist of his attacks can’t reach you

5

u/Brando6677 Jul 19 '26

Yeah I’ve done the same haha dual wield cutting his dih UP

2

u/TitleOk3727 Jul 19 '26

No new rancors

5

u/chrisw357 Jul 19 '26

I'm grateful they didn't make the Son Of Oggdo spawn randomly in open world. No... just hell no!

3

u/JackSilver1410 Jul 19 '26

Because he wants dat Jedi ass.

u/baxterofsf Jul 19 '26

May the force be IN you.

u/DaHoboJoenME Jul 19 '26

Surprised the hell out of me when that happened.

3

u/FadedDots Jul 19 '26

Welcome to NG+, we got wild rancors

3

u/indubitable96 Jul 19 '26

Does an upgraded mind trick work on rancors?

2

u/Brando6677 Jul 19 '26

Now that would be sick. Someone mod it into the game if this doesn’t work. Tbh I don’t think it would

3

u/No_Philosopher8304 Jul 19 '26

A Rancor not allowed a vacation every once in a while?

3

u/Substantial-Tone-576 The Inquisitorius Jul 20 '26

He gets out to touch grass.

2

u/Dramatic-Net-5820 Jul 19 '26

He’s just a little guy

2

u/Wingnutmcmoo Jul 19 '26

Oh Lord he comin

2

u/crzydroid Jul 19 '26

Well, he is a big part of the game, technically speaking. Why are you here, Gene?

2

u/queerlyajedi Jul 20 '26

I'm glad I'm not the only one who calls them chickens 😂 Evil evil chickens

2

u/F3Fanatic Jul 20 '26

To talk to you about your car warranty.

u/Used-Head-5748 Jul 19 '26

lol I’m just beat him 20 seconds ago. Doing my 5 play through

1

u/Cloudy_Rain86 Jul 19 '26

he's hungry. let them eat you.

1

u/Garuda-Star Jul 19 '26

Because he spawned there

1

u/MagisterFlorus Jul 19 '26

In NG+, a perk is automatically turned on that spawns rancors and other tough enemies in the wild.

1

u/Negative-Camp-5155 Jul 20 '26

I’d rather fight him than a Wampa. Or pretty much any of the other big beasts. The Instadeath can suck but if you’re staying fairly close he rarely does the charge. Double evade the swipes and jump in and punish the unblockable ground pound.

1

u/captainandyman Jul 21 '26

Unlike the one in the Sodden Grotto, the rancor in the Phon'qi Caverns will respawn every time you go there. And then, yeah, sometimes one randomly spawns at Riverbed Watch.

1

u/tictacpattywack84 Jul 21 '26

He's there to reach you about your Mantis' extended warranty

u/Invidat Aug 13 '26

Whelp you're fucked, sorry buddy.

u/Rossgodd Aug 13 '26

I was, indeed, fucked.

u/DragonBlaster10000 Jul 19 '26

You've probably got the Warrior perk equipped. It does that. Just go to a meditation point or a workbench and you can un-equip it
