Thread: How to Defeat Mellichae post CU

Hello to all of yourecently finished FS grinders. I wanted to compile what I have seen recently in various threads along with my own experiences beating Mellichae so that people can answer any questions they have about this quest in the post CU world.


First off, I got my visit from the old man within 5 minutes of logging in the first time after I finished my 6th FS tree, (about 24 hours later). In the middle of talking to him, he ran away from me and did not finish giving me the exit quest. I relogged and in 5 minutes he came back, this time giving me the quest. I am pretty sure that the base spawns on the same planet that the old man talks to you on. So I would recommend being in a city on Dantooine close to the Mining Outpost. The followingis what you need andwhat you need to do it to defeat Mel.


Get in a group and make sure that there is some one CL 80 in it. There are CL 77,78 Sith Thugs and Mercenaries and they are much easier if you are 2 levels above them.


Have the group be your bodyguard as you begin to target the crystals. There are two green and two red crystals. You can kill either of the two green crystals first and then you can finish the other one.


NOTE: No one else in your group can hit the crystals! If they do it will bug the crystal and you will have to walk 150m away and log to respawn the mission and start all over! (This happened 5 out of 5 times to me and never happened the two times when I shot the crystals myself)


After you destory a crystal, watch for any local mobs and/or the Sith NPCs to agro you. Have your body guards take care of them with you. After the two green crystals are dead, Drakstar will agro you. He is CL 100 but he is not that powerful. Just make sure the rest of your group is helping you and he goes down quickly and quietly.


Continue with the crystals. There are now 2 red ones left and either one can be attacked. When there is one crystal left you will probobly get agroed by some more of the Sith NPCs. Dispatch with them with the help of your allies. When the final crystal has been destroyed you can kill Mel. When I finished the last crystal some stronger Sith showed up. They hit me hard for about 200-300 damage each and if my group wasn't there to help me I would have been killed. After these new spawns are dispatched turn your attention to Mel. He is CL 85 and not too difficult. Keep him rooted, KDed, etc and he goes down pretty quietly as well.


When you finish Mel off you will get a message welcoming you to your first steps as a jedi and a waypoint to the nearest jedi shrine. Congrats on completing the Force Sensitive Exit Quest!


Side Notes: This information is compiled from my tests and completion of the quest. If you have anything to add or comment on please feel free. Also, all 5 or 6 times I respawned the camp, Mel and sometimes Drak got tangled up with local MOBs. The MOBs did not hurt them, but they did keep them out of my hair for most of the mission. Keep an eye out for this and take advantage of it if possible.

I found that the person with the Mel mission could not be grouped with us at all for the crystals not to be bugged-- but it makes sense that noone but the Mission leader can hit the crystals too -- and Mel heals waayyyy too fast.

The key to this mission is crystal damage. Spent 4hrs working out this problem. The crystal cannot be touched by anyone other than the mission bearer. If anyone accidentally strikes a crystal with an area attack weapon or shot will cause the crystal bug to occur. So heres the tried, tested and proved method.


1.) Get a rifle and the skills to use it.


2.) Mission bearer and group stay at max rifle range (64m or so)


3.)Group protects mission bearer from sith spawns and attacks.


4.) Only the Mission Bearer shoots at the crystals, group maintains rifle distance. (also no one should have a long range weapon except Mission Bearer)


Crystals should blow, the rest is simple.Eliminate remaining sith, then Daktar, then Mel.


Also be very deliberate with what you do, and control you group for best results. Finished this Mission with 6 people, one death occured. So more the better.


Hope this helps, Good Hunting.

A guildmate of mine had the same problem with the bugged crystals, so he finaly decided to go at it alone, He had 3 out of 4 of the crystals done when i got there. We grouped as he was killing the 4th crystal, while I tanked Mel and Dak, he killed off all the Sith thugs Etc...Once they were dead we finished off Daktar and then Mal.


Buddy stuck with using a rifle from max distance.

This isn't a 100% solution -- several times I was the only one hitting the crystals, and the second green one always bugged. We finally just gave up and called the Reb NPC support I mentioned above.

Bah! I respawned the mission 5 times tonight and each time the second green crystal was bugged (regardless if I was the only person who hit them). We have 3 Jedi and 3 ranged and 3 melee, and could draw Mallichae out 200m from the camp but couldn't get his health down more than a quarter of the way and he'd heal himself -- and after a couple mins he'd retreat.


So we got pissed and threw down a Rebel Field Hospital w/ 3 turrets next to the spawn (while I was logged out). We then drew Mallichae to the base and man was it a sight - about 50 Reb NPCs and one turret plus us wailing on him. It still took like 5-10 mins to kill him. Got quite excited when he finally died.
