Source: current SWTOR Flashpoint level chart ↗ · Master group encounters are designed for level 80, even where manual entry is possible earlier.

Mode and story notes: Story/Solo and linked Forged Alliances: Part I from level 53+; Veteran available separately at eligible lower levels; Master for coordinated level-80 groups. STORY mode with Forged Alliances: Part I active is the route for Imperial narrative progression.

  1. 01

    Check the linked Shadow of Revan Prelude

    The required story is FORGED ALLIANCES / PRELUDE: SHADOW OF REVAN at level 53+. On current 7.x characters, the story may require completed Class Story, Ilum and Rise of the Hutt Cartel first. Open the ERAS story window to locate the active purple mission; an ordinary repeatable Story Flashpoint is not the same as progression on the linked mission.

  2. 02

    Start from Imperial Fleet, Vaiken Spacedock

    Find the purple-triangle droid A7-M1 beside the WESTERN FLEET ELEVATOR. Accept the PRELUDE quest if you have not begun it.

  3. 03

    Enter the Outbound Mission Hangar

    At the WEST Fleet elevator select OUTBOUND MISSION HANGAR. Follow the purple mission into the GREEN STORY DOOR for DARTH ARKOUS. Speak to him to begin Forged Alliances: Part I.

  4. 04

    Keep Forged Alliances active

    The separate outer mission must show Complete Flashpoint with the correct name. Selecting [STORY] from a repeatable droid without the outer mission will finish only that instance.

  5. 05

    Use the right Fleet entrance

    Go back to the OUTBOUND MISSION HANGAR and find the ASSAULT ON TYTHON entrance. The story marker is at its door; when you already have [STORY] Assault on Tython from Forged Alliances, WALK THROUGH THE COLORED DOOR rather than accepting an unrelated mode.

  6. 06

    Repeatable entry: talk to T8X-4

    For a replay, speak to T8X-4 beside the door, choose START STORY MODE at level 53+, then enter. Story Mode provides a Combat Support Droid. Veteran is a group version and will not fulfill the outer story mission by itself.

  7. 07

    If you cannot find Story Mode

    Check that you are level 53+ and not tracking a conflicting version of this Flashpoint. For repeatable solo entry, Activity Finder → SOLO → Flashpoints → this Flashpoint → TRAVEL, but retain the FORGED ALLIANCES outer quest if advancing the storyline.

  8. 08

    If the Combat Support Droid disappears

    In Story Mode click the BLUE SUPPORT-DROID SYMBOL near the active mission tracker or activate the mission item in Inventory → MISSION ITEMS. If both are missing after dropping another Story instance, that is a reported quest bug, not an indication that this Flashpoint should be run in Veteran.

02 · OBJECTIVE-BY-OBJECTIVE WALKTHROUGH

Where to go and what to click next

  1. 01

    Approach the Outer Defenses

    Enter the Tython battlefield from the Imperial Fleet mission door. Follow APPROACH THE OUTER DEFENSES through Republic forces; the normal route follows the mission marker between the exterior fortifications.

  2. 02

    Destroy the Artillery Targeting Arrays

    Find the highlighted ARTILLERY TARGETING ARRAYS in the defenses. Destroy all required arrays before heading for the inner barricades; killing defenders alone will not complete this stage.

  3. 03

    Breach the Outer Defenses

    Follow BREACH THE OUTER DEFENSES. Fight through the opened path to MAJOR IMOS (the Imperial-faction version of the first commander).

  4. 04

    Defeat Major Imos

    Clear the additional enemy operators when they appear, then return damage to Imos. In Master Mode, assigned players carry the targeting RED CIRCLE to a shielded corner operator to remove its shield.

  5. 05

    Disable the Outer Defenses' Forcefields

    After Imos, look for the highlighted FORCEFIELD POWER CONTROLS on the route and disable them. If the path is still sealed, recheck the mission counter for remaining forcefields.

  6. 06

    Proceed toward the Jedi Temple

    Follow PROCEED TO THE JEDI TEMPLE past the exterior defense line. Do not look for a planet-map shuttle back to Fleet; the remaining objectives are within the same instance.

  7. 07

    Destroy the Defense Batteries

    Find and destroy all highlighted DEFENSE BATTERIES on the temple approach. These are separate from the initial targeting arrays.

  8. 08

    Defeat Master Dentiri and his droids

    At the next chokepoint defeat MASTER DENTIRI (also named Liam Dentiri in encounter guides). When he disappears, ATTACK HIS DROID WAVES and wait for him to reappear. In Master, clear droid adds promptly.

  9. 09

    Enter the Jedi Temple

    Proceed through the temple entrance once its mission requirement clears; in the temple continue to ACCESS THE HOLO OBSERVATORY.

  10. 10

    Access the Holo Observatory

    Find and activate the HOLO OBSERVATORY interaction as indicated by the mission. This advances to the temple security-control sequence.

  11. 11

    Disable the Emergency Backup Generators

    Locate and disable the highlighted EMERGENCY BACKUP GENERATORS. A closed door here often means a required generator is still active.

  12. 12

    Disable the Library Forcefield

    Use the LIBRARY FORCEFIELD control after the generator objective completes. Do not head into the final fight until the field has actually dropped.

  13. 13

    Defeat Master Oric Traless

    In the final chamber avoid PURPLE GROUND CIRCLES. When Oric moves to a DATACRON and channels UNTOLD KNOWLEDGE, SELECT AND DESTROY THE DATACRON before the cast finishes; otherwise he gains Enlightened and heals/damages more.

  14. 14

    Secure the Jedi Council Holoterminal

    After Oric falls, find and RIGHT-CLICK THE JEDI COUNCIL HOLOTERMINAL to complete the Flashpoint's final objective.

  15. 15

    Return to Darth Arkous

    Use Exit Area and follow FORGED ALLIANCES: PART I back to DARTH ARKOUS in the Outbound Mission Hangar. His dialogue moves the story to KORRIBAN INCURSION.

Optional activities: MASTER ONLY: Driven Before You, defeat 60 enemies to unlock the optional Republic Commander near the temple entrance. Ordinary Story Mode's Combat Support Droid can be recalled from mission controls. The end-of-Flashpoint Council holoterminal is mandatory.

03 · COMBAT TROUBLESHOOTING

Boss mechanics without guessing

These descriptions cover the relevant objective, visual warning, controls and known failure points. Optional bosses are labeled and do not block the mandatory story.

ENCOUNTER 01 / 04

Major Imos

Where: Outer defensive line after destroying targeting arrays.

  1. 01

    Control enemy operators

    Destroy smaller operators and supporting enemies when they spawn, then resume the boss.

  2. 02

    Avoid the red circle

    Move away from dangerous ground telegraphs; in Master Mode use the large red circle to hit shielded operators.

  3. 03

    Master: assign corners

    Each player covers a corner operator and positions the red boss targeting circle on that shielded enemy to drop its protection.

Stuck here? Shielded operators in Master require a mechanic, not raw damage: carry the red targeted circle onto the operator. After the fight disable the forcefields.

ENCOUNTER 02 / 04

Master Dentiri and Droids

Where: Temple exterior after the defense-battery objective.

  1. 01

    Expect Dentiri to disappear

    When the master leaves the arena, stop searching for a hidden enemy behind the walls.

  2. 02

    Kill the active droids

    Defeat the droids that spawn during his absence; multiple rounds occur.

  3. 03

    Attack Dentiri when visible

    Resume direct damage on his return; in Master prioritize the droids quickly.

Stuck here? No boss visible? He disappears between droid rounds. Clear available droids, then allow him to reappear.

Source guide with original game screenshots ↗

ENCOUNTER 03 / 04

Republic Commander (Master bonus)

Where: Near the Jedi Temple entrance; requires the Imperial Driven Before You bonus quest.

  1. 01

    Master-only bonus

    Driven Before You asks you to defeat 60 enemies before unlocking this optional commander.

  2. 02

    Look for the boss marker

    After the required counter completes, the commander appears on the route after Dentiri and before entering the main temple.

  3. 03

    Skip for story progress

    You do not need to defeat this commander to complete the temple's main mission.

Stuck here? Not present in Story or Veteran; this is a Master-only bonus encounter, not part of the ordinary three required bosses.

Source guide with original game screenshots ↗

ENCOUNTER 04 / 04

Master Oric Traless

Where: Final temple chamber behind the Library Forcefield.

  1. 01

    Dodge purple ground telegraphs

    Move continuously away from the expanding purple circles during his channel.

  2. 02

    Do not attack into his shield

    When the boss glows with a protective shield, switch attention to the associated mechanics.

  3. 03

    Destroy the active datacron

    As soon as he leaps to a DATACRON and channels UNTOLD KNOWLEDGE, target and destroy that datacron before the cast finishes.

  4. 04

    Finish at the holoterminal

    After the boss dies, RIGHT-CLICK THE JEDI COUNCIL HOLOTERMINAL to secure the temple.

Stuck here? If Oric keeps healing and hitting harder, he likely completed Untold Knowledge because the DATACRON remained alive.

04 · FIND A QUICK FIX

Why the quest is not progressing

I finished Assault on Tython, but Forged Alliances hasn't advanced.

You must have FORGED ALLIANCES: PART I active on Complete Flashpoint: Assault on Tython, then finish the final JEDI COUNCIL HOLOTERMINAL. Repeatable Story alone will not start the next story phase.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Where is the Imperial door for Assault on Tython?

FLEET → WEST ELEVATOR → OUTBOUND MISSION HANGAR → speak to DARTH ARKOUS inside the green phase, then find the southern Flashpoint door. T8X-4 provides the repeatable Story quest.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Why did Master Dentiri disappear?

His fight has scripted DROID WAVES. Defeat the droids and he returns. Waiting without killing anything is often the problem.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Master Oric Traless is shielding and healing.

When he channels UNTOLD KNOWLEDGE, destroy the DATACRON he is channeling from. Purple circles also need dodging.

Reference and original discussion ↗

How do I unlock Korriban Incursion?

Return to DARTH ARKOUS after Assault on Tython and finish his Forged Alliances dialogue. Korriban Incursion is the second Flashpoint in Part I.
