I have 3 weeks to fight against Mellichae and want to try to solo it at first if possible, I know you are probably thinking that I'm crazy, maybe I am lol, Just want to try it out. Now my template is below in my sig, I have a stun baton that is 299-290, I know it's bugged, don't use it to PVP I just bought like 2 months ago which at the time didn't know it was bugged cause I just got back in the game after a 4 month lay off. Don't know if that would do any significant damagetowards Mellichae and his side kicks... was hoping for your opinions. I also bought a crate of PSG's that once taken out of the crate has 48% against lightsaber, I know that is also bugged =) that I knew, just trying to use anything and everything to solo this freak. and I also have 929 heal stim d's.



Was wondering with this weapon and good armor and other foods, as well asmy template, is it possiblefor me tosolo the exit quest?


Thanks for any feedback

The major problem I see you having is taking out the crystals and tanking at the same time in the first part of this quest (if in fact your template is how it is stated in your posting sig).


Otherwise everyone but Mel is easy...

How long will it take to take out 1 or 2 crystals at a time? I was thinking about taking that foodI believe it's called versupi or something like that, that increases health, action and mind by 1000+, take 2 of those, so with a buff and meditate my primary stats will be around 5700, for about 8 mins though =(, and I have stim d's that range from 900-1700 heal a pop, I am 2,2,4,0 in medic. If I can take out the crystals below 8 mins and get the heck out of there so the aggroeing will stop...and repeat...will I have a chance?

Mellichae can be soloed quite easily, just get novice pistoleer, novice carbineer, or rifleman 2-0-0-0. All I did was get within range of the crystals, lie down, take them out. Only got aggroed by a few sith thugs. Once the crystals were down, I got in range of Mellichae, did two bleed shots on him, then backed up. He was the only one who came after me, and I just kited him around for a long time on my swoop. Any time he stopped bleeding I let him get within 64m, and hit him again. With a Krayt FWG5 max dmg around 400 I had him bleeding for about 500-600 dmg, I'm sure a rifleman would do more dmg with mind bleeds. Other than that, just don't let him get too close. My template does not support melee combat, so I don't know how long you would last, but thank the Maker for Feign Death. He got a little too close once and took me out in 4 hits, even fully buffed.

I'll put it to you this way, it would be nearly impossible to solo this mission, Sith spawns have about 40% resist to everything, (about 8 of them) ok so not too tough His second in command (can't remember name) has about 70% resist if i remember correctly and has a nice size ham bar i believe its in upper 60's or 70's (once again can't remember exactly) THen you have the saber weilding lunatic. He killed me in 3 shots when i helped a friend do the mission. hit me for about 2000 per hit. So if you can solo his happy ass. CONGRATS TO YOU!!!! i would really like to see someone solo this. But i don't think it can be done. Oh yeah forgot to mention, once you attack the crystals (melee) they all start attacking you. best way to kill the crystals is to take them out from ranged...

WOW!!! well is anyone on Ahazi that I can put on my friends list,which I can contact when the time comes? lol


Got one more question, if I pull away... say 2 thugs far enough away from the crystals, will they still get healed? or do I absolutely have to destroy the crystals first?

The thugs respawn... I found a Mellichae mission on Scylla the other day and had a go at it. I destroyed three crystals and took out the thugs... then they respawned as i was attacking the last crystal.

Mellichae and his buddy weren't there... I guess who ever had the mission bled them and was killing them elsewhere?



"There were young knights among them who had never been present at a stricken field. Some could not look upon it, some could not speak. They held themselves apart from the others who were cutting down prisoners at my lord's orders, for the prisoners were a body too numerous to be guarded by those of us who were left.
Then Jean de Rrye, an aged knight of Burgundy who had been sore wounded in the fight, rode up to the group of young knights and said: "are ye maidens with your downcast eyes? Look well upon it. See all of it. Close your eyes to nothing. For the battle is fought to be won, and this is what happens if you lose."

I have just finished helping a guildie do this mission.

Our approach was to draw the initial thugs out first, the rifleman in the group (the others were Swordsman x3, TKM/Doc and smuggler/pistoleer) would bleed them then run back to us. After they were dead we pulled the 2nd in command out, the TKM tanked him whilst the swordsmen and the rifleman took out the crystals (one of the swordsmen aggroed Mallichae and just ran around trying to keep him busy). Then we helped the TKM finish of number 2. Once he was down, take off any armour and gang rush mallichae.

i helped a guildmate do it a few days after the village patch, and it was extremely tough. the crystals restored each other and the baddies. So we had to have about 10 people hitting as hard as they could all on one crystal and knock it out in less than 5 seconds or else it would go back to full health. We died a few times but we developed some stratagies and brought in some friends to get the job done but it was still extremely tough

Soloing Mellichae is nearly impossible, but nearly means still possible. Maybe I was lucky too. I first tried to take Mellichae out himself with bleed shots, but even 1k from the crystals he was still being healed. I went back and took out all 4 crystals, and was only attacked once by low lvl thugs, I took them out no problem. I got up to 64 or 65m whichever would allow me to attack, and kept as much of an angle to maximize my distance from everyone else, so they would not be alerted to my presence. The green crystals have to be taken out first, they heal the red ones. Once the crystals were done, I got up to 64m from Mellichae, laid prone, and fired health shot 2 and health shot 1,I am master pistoleer. I hit peace, stood up, and walked back to my speeder about 95m away:

I then lead him 4k to Kor Vella, which took almost an hour. Any time he stopped bleeding he would stop attacking and turn around, so I would let him get in range every couple minutes to bleed him again. Once I got to Kor Vella the Imperials and Corsecs started attacking him, so I got a few extra hits in, not like it did much from my DX2. While staying kind of close rangeI got cocky and he took me out. He stayed close still attacking Imperials, so I used my Hero ring to rez. He attacked again but I managed to hit Feign Death in time. While I was recovering, he disappeared. He ended up going all they way back to his spawn point. I went back to Coronet to get rebuffed, mostly because the action cost of my dx2 will drain me pretty quick. I went back out to his camp, and bled him again. I got to about 1k from Kor Vella and he was down to about 2k out of 56k health:

I pulled out a republic blaster and finished him off:

Overall it took me about2 hours, if I hadn't been cocky and hopped off my speeder around town I wouldn't have died. A master rifleman could hit with a more powerful bleed shot, and could probably be done around an hour. As for a melee prof, I have no clue on how to solo, but if you are ranged, follow my plan. Just don't let him get closer than 60m.

You can solo this mission as a melee character. I know because I basically did it solo for a friend(yes friend was therebut we kept him well outta the way so he didn't die). The crystals will heal all the others except one. If you pay attention there is a little graphic that floats above each NPC/Crystal that is being healed each time a healing occurs. Simply find the crystal that does not have this graphic above it and that is the one you need to start with. Go in, take it out and back off, if you have any sith's trailing you then simply take them out, if Mellichae is trailing you then run (now is not the time to confront him). Go back and repeat that process until all of the crystals are dead.


At this point simply use an uncerted pistol or whatever ranged weapon you want to aggro the sith. Try and take out as many as possible without aggroing mellichae or his buddy. Use intimidate/warcry on the person you are not currently working on. I had to make several runs at the camp in order to take out all the sith since I took aggro a couple of times from Mellichae and his buddy. If you take aggro simply hop on your speeder and ride around for a bit, they will follow you at least for a while and once you get them far enough away it doesn't matter if they are still aggroed you can just simply ride back into camp and finish off anyone left in it before he arrives back at the camp again as he's a little slow moving.


When down to the last two(Mellichae and his buddy) I simply intimidated both of them, used warcry on his buddy then started a bleed, and then started to whack away at Mellichae. When your mind starts to get low simply hop on your speeder and run them around until your mind heals back up, then hop off, intimidate and start in on them again, lather rinse repeat.


It's not impossible but will take a little while since Mellichae is 80% resistant to everything and packs a pretty good punch, even when intimidated. I had another friend who's mission kept getting bugged and Mellichae would dissapear somewhere during the process so he wasn't there when the crystals and sith finally got cleared out. He got so tired of repeating it he simply got a bunch of Jedi together to help him with the mission and they ignored everything and simply went in and killed Mellichae in under 10 seconds(the time between heals from the crystals). He got credit for the mission and they just wiped out everything in a matter of seconds lol. If you can get a group of Jedi it's much easier and faster but it is possible to solo this mission.
