well this is the first ive read this since i posted and logged this morning...


dude why would i make this up? i took the time to post this to help out the SWG community bc this quest can be frustrating.


and yes, i stayed 75-110m away and he STILL followed. the only times i had trouble was making some turns around mountains or slightly over them.


dont come here posting unless u got something positive to say or questions to ask. i think my probot lvl was 15, but i would have to check again.


thanks to those who congratulated me.

glad to help out.


also, if using my probot to take out turrets is an exploit, i wasnt aware. i cant see how using a pet or droid to attack something would be an exploit, but the turret not shooting back at the probot did seem strange.


however, with as buggy as this game can be, it didnt surprise me that much.

Would someone be able to have the commander follow 75-100m if they are in a group? And as long as they haven't been aggro'd? I've only heard of solo'ers being able to do this and just wondering? Do they set a higher restriction on the group because of the extra reward? It took me 3 times to do it for myself.. using groups. And since helped 2 other groups accomplish it. The escorter was aggro'd in each and every case so I haven't seen what not aggro'ing a group escorter can offer...?


Congrats btw.

i did this quest last night solo too, its really not that bad. All i did was come from behind the base, get 50m away from a turret (while eating all the good food and drinks, my health buff cyrstal helped too) i blew the turrets in like 5-8 hits with my proton carbine. Then i just ran in killed some sith, got the commander and dint really have any problems getting him the 3400m back tovthe village, just while on the steep hills he would need some cajoling. It is possible, i found the hardest part of the mission is actully finding a usuable turret code for a base close to the village. It took me 15 disk to get one.

Excellent question. So far from reading the forums and my own experience from doing the quest in a group of 2, and a group of 8, i'd have to say that there is a difference.

If you are in a small group (2), then it looks like the commander is much easier to escort and he wont try to escape. If you are in a large group (6+), then the commander tries to escape often and you have to stay much closer to him to complete the mission.

No hard evidence to back this up mind you, just a working theory that so far fits.

Based on this, i'd advise that the two people doing the mission group, and everyone else helping form a seperate group. Any thoughts?

Just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this tactic. I walked the commander 5k to the village and completed this quest. I didn't have to wait in line on bria at the alpha base, or omega base. "up to six groups in line at those" I went to the baz and found the shield code for sale that was 5k away, "tau" base. Called up my friend so he could finish it also. Went out to the base, killed the turrets with no bots. My friend lowered the shield the sith spawned he killed five of them and ... this is the key part really to this if no one new about it. Click on a dath camo kit and walk right past all the little sith at the front gate capture teh commander and walk him to the village. Keep him at 70 to 120 m away from you and you will have no problem what so ever. Hillz, up and down are not a problem he keeps on coming. Have your friend take out the red mobs in front of you since you will have a parade of sith walking about 100 m away from you haha looks funny when the sith spawn and they run at u then kind of fall back to were the commander is. Anyway walk around nasty mobs like night sisters/rancors and walk into the village and the second the commander walks in go have a beer cause u need one.


ty again for the info on keeping him at 70 to 100ish m away... it works like a charm.

I salute you my friend ! /salute


This was a true masterwork of gaming. It showed intelligence, forethought, strategy, ingenuity, and guts (for trying a crazy stunt like this in the first place! Indianna Jones would be proud.)

Just completed it solo also.

Did the Nu base.

1. Used a Probot to clear out all the towers
2. Pulled one pirate out at a time and killed them till I got my five while my probot took out the gates.
3. Ran back and captured the commander. At this point I think I really got lucky. All the guards just went away and I was able to just walk him out with ease.
4. I stayed out 75-100 meters ahead making sure to take the best route possiable. Yes I had to go up some major hills but still was able to make it.


Goodluck all!

i completed the phase 3 melee accuracy quest solo this morning and ill tell you how.
first i stayed about 100m from the turrets in front of the base, called my probot out and had it destroy the turrets 1 by 1. there was no return fire or attack on the probot, so it was just a matter of time.
next, i drew out 5 sith a few at a time (im currently master tk/2h/some doc) to get my 5 kills. its important to draw some of the sith away from the entrance or they will all agro u.
my probot took out the gate as i killed the sith, so then the concern was all the sith gathered at the entrance of the base.
i tried to crawl along the side of the base to the entrance to sneak past the sith...however 2-3 aggroed me as i entered. i clicked capture on the sith commander's radial menu and burst ran around to the area opposite the base entrance. the sith still had me aggroed, but they couldnt get to me bc of the base walls and the fact i had burst run before they could follow. i waited for the commander to bring his slow ars around to me, then maintained a 75-110m distance from him, stopping of course every so often to make sure he was still following.
by maintaining this distance, the sith that spawned near him could not agro me, and i did not have to kill any sith or even get agroed my whole way back to the village.
there were a few times near mountains i needed to let him catch up further as i tried to go around the mountains and avoid him going up the steep hills. i had to click on follow me to have him continue with me through some mountainous passage areas.
i avoided red agros as we headed to the village.
it took me about 40-45 minutes to walk him back from NU on intrepid, a base bout 3k away from the village.
i got my sunriders destiny crystal and started training in the melee accuracy FS skills.
just wanted to let u all know it can be done solo.
good luck
