On this page of the LEGO Skywalker Saga game guide, you can find a description of the first fight with Count Dooku. This encounter takes place in Episode 2 (Attack of the Clones) - The Battle of the Jedi mission. Our walkthrough suggests, e.g. how to defeat the Count, as well as how to reach the upper ledges where Dooku will run away.
You will face Count Dooku for the second time in Episode 3, in the Out for the Count level. This fight is described on a separate page of the bosses chapter.
Location of the first fight with Dooku
The first encounter with Count Dooku takes place at the end of The Battle of the Jedi level in Episode 2. You must first go through several chambers of Dooku's fortress. Reaching the last one will trigger the boss fight.
Description of the boss fight
The overall tactic for fighting Count Dooku is similar to Darth Maul and other lightsaber-wielding enemies.
Weaken Dooku by throwing your own lightsaber at him. It's safer than fighting him in melee.
React to Dooku's powerful attacks which are signaled with red lines and circles. Quickly dodge to get out of these attacks' range.
The boss can also try to choke you with the Force. To free yourself you must rapidly tap the left and right directional keys or tilt the analog stick from side to side.
Dooku has several health bars you must go through. Each time he loses enough health he'll jump up to a higher platform, forcing you to chase him.
First deal with the flying enemies. Then use the Force on the yellow pipes to rip them out (you must choose the correct direction too).
Getting rid of the pipes will let you stick to the wall with your lightsaber and climb up to the boss.
Several times throughout the battle you'll need to search for Dooku in the dark. The boss will reveal himself on his own, triggering a QTE during which you must mash the displayed button to break the blade lock.
Another one of Dooku's unique skills is Force Lightning. You can turn it against him by moving your crosshair onto him. Use the directional keys or the left analog stick to do so.
At the end of the battle Yoda joins the fray, but it doesn't change the strategy in any way - keep throwing your lightsaber, dodging and reaching the higher platforms where he hides.
Deplete all of Dooku's health bars to win the fight.
