Thread: Mellichae Quest Bugged Please help if you have gotten around this
There are 2 things you can do. One of them some might consider an exploit but it works and if the crystals are not working its a kind of a workaround...
Option 1: Respec to master rifleman and get a good rifle. Every rifleman I have talked with said they can destroy the crystal. But the person with the quest needs to be the one who destroys the crystal or so I am told.
Option 2: Kill the sith. Pull Melichae with you to some nice spawn point of cl80 critters and get them to fight each other. Make sure the spawn point is within 400m from the camp. Logout and immediately login. The crystals are gone and if all is well the critters are now killing Mel. I think you have to hit him once at least though. IF all goes well the critters will finish him and you get a message that welcomes you to paddy aka. buggy trials. 
Good luck,
Yazz
Okay, spent 4 hours helping a fellow Imperial with this problem. This is what worked:
1.) The person with the quest was the in a group and was the leader of the group. No confirmation that that is required but if copy what we did it should work.
2.) Only the person with the mission damages and destroyes the crystals. This can be tricky in a group, because of area damage weapons like Proton Flame Throwers or people using Fan shot or other area damage attacks. This is key, so here is the best way to do it.
A.) Get a rifle and the skills touse it.
B.) Whole group stays back and guards the mission bearer, while they destroy the crystals.
C.) Whole group stays at max rifle range (64m or so)
Crystals should come down, then finish off the sith thugs, mercs and kill Daktar.
Finally make sure the mission bearer gets at least one hit on Mel.
And there you go, this should take less than 30mins. Oh, the more people you have to help, the easier this goes.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting
