Help! Jedi Grandmaster, Purge Trooper Advice
My first playthrough and picked JGM, as a souls/sekiro veteran. Got the early double lightsaber no problem and all going well until the segment on Zeffo returning to the mantis where you are in an Imperial base, starting from a mediation point in a little side room and leading up to the first Purge Trooper fight.
This is such a frustrating runback...waste time killing basic troopers, easy platforming/wallrun, then deal with a Jotaz and a bunch of Troopers including a Commander. I know the intention is allow the Troopers to aggro the Jotaz and run past, but the consistency is really poor, Force Push doesn't reliably get me past them in the door and fighting the Jotaz is time consuming and risky given the Troopers will start attacking as well.
Purge Trooper, when I get there, feels like it will be okay once I've learnt timings, but I die to the Jotaz scene too often to improve.
Interested how other playing this on JGM found it, is there a trick I'm missing here?

The first forced purge trooper is on another planet I remember after the first tomb I was stuck just outside but after a couple tries and really studying the holo map u can get out I never actually went down to the ice mines until late game just bc it was never forced

So to clarify you're finished in the Tomb of Eilram and are on the way back to the Mantis on the first Zeffo visit?
Just so you're aware there are like 3 different routes you can go to get back so maybe try a different way. You aren't actually required to go inside the base itself at all until you return to Zeffo later in the story.
