Any level > 8 Jedi in your party should use [[../Force powers#Energy Resistance|Improved Energy Resistance]] or [[../Force powers#Force Valor|Knight or Master Valor]] to make your party immune to its poisoned claws.

Conversely, its own [[../Force powers#Force Push|Slam Attack]] can be a nuisance for melee attackers, knocking them back and down even when they save against it.

One or two melee attackers should block the bridge to protect any ranged attackers or Force users using {{KotOR|Force powers|Throw Lightsaber}} (or persevering with other powers). Alternatively, it can be led away from the bridge to be attacked and obstructed by shyrack and tuk'ata, or [[../Mines|mines]] can be set (although normally it saves 100% of the time against Minor mines, 75% of the time against Average mines and 50% of the time against most Deadly mines).
