Thread: Mellichae
I soloed him. I think any ranged profession could do it, but having an AP2 weapon will make it a little less painful. I did it as a carbineer (not master, but speed-capped).
What I did was bleed-and-peace a couple siths at a time from 64m out until they aggroed and came for me, then I could finish them off alone. Just don't run more than ~100m away from the camp or they might respawn. Somewhere along the way the protector NPC came out too so I was able to pick him off one-on-one (not hard with buffs and armor). Then I hit the crystals from 64m out (first the two green ones, then the red ones... if the crystal heals itself then move on to a different one first).
Mellichae turned out to be easy--he didn't even hit me! I kited him with my best special. He drew his lightsaber but I never let him get into range to hit me. When he got to within 30m, burst run in circles and try to keep him at 60m until the burst run wears off. Use nutricake for instant burst run recovery time. After you get him to about 1/3 HAM, he seems to lose interest in chasing you and he'll just wander around aimlessly while you follow him and keep pounding from a safe distance. It took about 4-5 burst runs (two nutricakes) for me to get down to the point where he just didn't care to chase me anymore.
It did eat a fair amount of condition from my gun, and took about 45 minutes total, but soloing him is definately possible. But maybe not for melee profs!
[Edited 9/30: As someone points out below, Parwin (sp?) Nutricake is the reduce-recovery-time food, not air cake as I originally had]

Hello everyone,
I just started playing again last night after 2 months off, and to my supprise I for 5 unlocks (woohoo). Anyway, I will be done with my 6th branch soon and will have to soon kill Mellichae. I was wondering how people have gone about doing this? It sounds somewhat difficult. I am also not in a guild, so I am thinking that I am somewhat screwed at this point... Does anyone have tips or ideas on how to go about this, or how to get people to come with me?
Thanks!
If by chance u are on Bloodfin look me up I would be happy to go with you and tank.
I too am going to be needing help, but seeing as how I have no free unlocks I have some time before I do the exit quest.
I figured i would do as mentioned above with the groups on Dant. I have been running solo groups there for 6 months or so and have met quite a few people that said they would help me out.
As u can see from my sig I am no slouch but I know without a doubt that soloing would not be something I would want to try.
Good luck.

Thanks, I will do that. My ingame name is Suki, and I am on bloodfin, so I will do that. Also, anyone that is on bloodfin and needs help, please look me up, I would be happy to help. At this point, I think I am going to master rifleman in the next few days in order to put up a good fight.
Good luck on the quest grind![]()

I actually have read it a few times (it is a great guide, thanks to Ithiris), though I am really wondering if anyone HAS soloed it? Most people I know have long since stopped playing the game, so I am kind of worried it will be hard to get people to help me... I am currently a TKM, but I am thinking that will surely not be enough to take this guy down. Does anyone have suggestions on how to kill this guy? Or, how to entice people to help?
Use air cake for instant burst run recovery time.
I've beentrying to find these air cakes, but I can only find ones that specify an increased dodge chance.
What air cakes should I be looking for?
