FLASHPOINT WALKTHROUGH / IMPERIAL · SHADOW OF REVAN · RISHI · STORY 55+

Blood Hunt | Exact Imperial route

The Mandalorian hunt on Rishi is not a simple linear boss corridor. Follow Torch's Flame to the Raider's Cove entrance, kill the Wampa, enter three randomly chosen challenge rooms, survive Jos and Valk's central-ring knockbacks, defeat Shae Vizla and click her blue banner to finish.

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 level 55+; Veteran manual level 15–80 and Group Finder level 53–80; Master Group Finder level 80. For Shadow of Revan story progress, keep TORCH'S FLAME active alongside [STORY] Blood Hunt. Group Finder Veteran is not a substitute for the linked story.

  1. 01

    Start Shadow of Revan from your ship

    At level 55+ use the GLOWING BLUE MISSION TERMINAL aboard your personal starship if you have not begun Shadow of Revan. Continue the RISHI planetary purple mission chain through Torch's Flame; the linked Blood Hunt mission will appear at the correct stage.

  2. 02

    Confirm the outer Torch's Flame objective

    In the quest log, you need TORCH'S FLAME at COMPLETE FLASHPOINT: BLOOD HUNT, as well as [STORY] Blood Hunt. The standalone [STORY] mission can be replayed, but it does not independently advance the one-time story.

  3. 03

    Go to Raider's Cove on Rishi

    Use your ship to travel to RISHI if not there already, and QUICK TRAVEL to RAIDER'S COVE. Head toward the EAST side of the cove, using the purple mission icon to reach the Blood Hunt doorway.

  4. 04

    Walk through the story instance door

    If TORCH'S FLAME already gave you [STORY] Blood Hunt, enter the active COLORED DOOR without accepting a different difficulty. Story Mode will provide your companion and a COMBAT SUPPORT DROID.

  5. 05

    For repeatable Story Mode, speak to Frod Makora

    FROD MAKORA is the alien questgiver outside the Blood Hunt entrance on the EAST SIDE of RAIDER'S COVE. Select START STORY MODE if level 55+ and enter the adjacent door.

  6. 06

    Activity Finder is a faster replay option

    For a standalone replay, open Activity Finder (THREE-PEOPLE ICON near the minimap) → SOLO → BLOOD HUNT → TRAVEL. For four-player Veteran, use GROUP → VETERAN FLASHPOINTS → FILTER → BLOOD HUNT. This version normally omits the story arrival conversations.

  7. 07

    Restore the support droid if missing

    Use the BLUE SUPPORT DROID BUTTON beside the Flashpoint tracker or the appropriate item in INVENTORY → MISSION ITEMS. Combat support does not turn Veteran into Story Mode.

02 · OBJECTIVE-BY-OBJECTIVE WALKTHROUGH

Where to go and what to click next

  1. 01

    Search Tracyn Island for Torch

    Enter from Raider's Cove and follow the island jungle route marked SEARCH TRACYN ISLAND FOR TORCH. Avoid unnecessary cliff-edge jumps; the first required enemy is the huge white Wampa.

  2. 02

    Defeat Kyramla Gemas'rugam

    At the WAMPA clearing, avoid RED AND BLUE GROUND CIRCLES and keep your back from exposed edges. In Story/Veteran, RIGHT-CLICK BLUE SPORES to heal when needed.

  3. 03

    Open the skull-marked door

    After the Wampa, look for a TRIANGULAR DOOR WITH A SKULL ABOVE IT and RIGHT-CLICK it. IT MAY NOT GLOW BLUE; this is still the correct forward route.

  4. 04

    Continue searching for Torch

    Follow the objective as it changes to CONTINUE SEARCHING FOR TORCH. The next area contains multiple trial rooms; not every door opens during one playthrough.

  5. 05

    Vanquish three randomly selected challenges

    The game selects THREE OF SIX possible challenge rooms. Enter only the OPEN ROOMS, find the beast or its activation objects, and defeat each mini-boss. Do not search for a fourth room during normal Story progression.

  6. 06

    Challenge: locate the encounter in the room

    Some mini-bosses stand at the BACK of their chamber. Others emerge after RIGHT-CLICKING GLOWING BLUE OBJECTS on the floor. If your objective stays on Vanquish Challenges, check for a missed active door or unclicked object.

  7. 07

    Recognize all six possible challenge bosses

    The possible rooms contain HODAYC SUR'HAAI (Raptor), DRALNE BE TE OYA'KARIR (Krakjya), ADEEN EDEEMIR (K'lor'slug Queen), PIRUN UT (Skarkla Hunter), CERAR BE KYR'AM (Rancor) or YUSTAPIR KYRAMUD (Jurgoran). Only three appear in each normal run.

  8. 08

    Protect yourself from Yustapir's knockback

    If YUSTAPIR KYRAMUD is selected, position your BACK TOWARD THE ENTRANCE/BRIDGE rather than the outer drop. If the TONITRONS challenge is selected, approach the back of the room to trigger the larger beast.

  9. 09

    Confront Torch and enter the champion ring

    After the required challenges, continue to CONFRONT TORCH. This triggers the ring combat with JOS AND VALK BEROYA, not Shae herself yet.

  10. 10

    Defeat Jos and Valk Beroya

    STAY INSIDE THE CENTER CIRCLE OF THE ARENA to reduce the chance of knockback deaths. Face VALK AWAY FROM THE GROUP while she fires SWEEPING GUNFIRE; carry following red rocket circles to clear floor space.

  11. 11

    Clear intermediate adds

    Small creatures enter during the Mandalorian champion sequence. Defeat them to advance to the final joint phase, then finish both champions without straying outside the safe central ring.

  12. 12

    Pursue Torch

    After the champions, follow the new PURSUE TORCH marker to the final arena where SHAE VIZLA confronts you.

  13. 13

    Defeat Shae Vizla

    Keep SHAE'S FRONTAL FLAMETHROWER away from companions and party members. When the floor panels turn to LAVA, MOVE ONTO METAL SQUARES; run out of her SPINNING FIRE RING.

  14. 14

    Move your companion out of lava

    If your Story companion stands in lava or spinning fire, move yourself to a safe tile and toggle COMPANION PASSIVE (default CTRL+2) to pull them to you. Toggle it back when the hazard ends.

  15. 15

    Claim Shae Vizla's Banner

    After Shae is defeated, RIGHT-CLICK THE GLOWING BLUE BANNER. The final objective is CLAIM SHAE VIZLA'S BANNER; killing her alone does not finish the Flashpoint.

  16. 16

    Resume Torch's Flame on Rishi

    Once the banner objective registers, Exit Area and follow the purple TORCH'S FLAME story marker. Continue the Rishi storyline through The Revanites Revealed and later Frontal Assault; the Battle of Rishi Flashpoint comes later.

Optional activities: Blood Hunt's normal Story/Veteran route has no mandatory bonus boss. The three challenge rooms are randomized from six choices. Older Master-mode references describe The Complete Challenger, an additional three challenges; confirm any current availability in the quest tracker rather than assuming that old bonus remains active.

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

Kyramla Gemas'rugam (Wampa)

Where: First main boss on Tracyn Island.

  1. 01

    Move away from red and blue circles

    Large warnings mark incoming damage. Avoid both colors when possible, especially near the cliff edge.

  2. 02

    Use the blue healing spores

    In Story and Veteran RIGHT-CLICK the blue spores around the arena for additional healing, if needed.

  3. 03

    Master: watch Electro Net

    Mandalorian Hunters use BLUE RECTANGULAR ELECTRO NET warnings. Avoid being netted; once affected, move only enough to escape other lethal ground attacks.

  4. 04

    Open the unusual door

    After victory, CLICK THE TRIANGULAR SKULL-MARKED DOOR. It may not glow blue, even though it is interactive.

Stuck here? Wampa dead but no exit marker? The TRIANGULAR SKULL DOOR is clickable even when not glowing.

ENCOUNTER 02 / 04

Torch's Three Random Challenges

Where: Six room types exist; only three are selected in a normal run.

  1. 01

    Identify open challenge doors

    Do not chase locked rooms. Work through the open rooms that count toward VANQUISH CHALLENGES.

  2. 02

    Trigger hidden mini-bosses

    Check the back of each room and RIGHT-CLICK glowing blue floor objects until the beast appears.

  3. 03

    Avoid knockback into drops

    If Yustapir is your challenge, face away from the drop with the entrance/bridge behind you.

  4. 04

    Finish all three counters

    Once all three selected challenges are complete, follow CONFRONT TORCH to the Mandalorian champion arena.

Stuck here? Locked challenge rooms are expected; missing progress usually means an open room has an unactivated creature or glowing blue object.

Source guide with original game screenshots ↗

ENCOUNTER 03 / 04

Jos and Valk Beroya

Where: Circular fighting platform after Torch's challenge rooms.

  1. 01

    Stay in the central ring

    Both Mandalorians can cause severe knockback to players standing outside the CENTER CIRCLE.

  2. 02

    Turn Valk away

    Tank faces Valk's SWEEPING GUNFIRE away from allies. Other players attack from behind.

  3. 03

    Place tracking rockets away from teammates

    Red circles follow a target briefly before becoming fixed. Drop them in open space rather than stacking circles.

  4. 04

    Clear beast adds

    Remove the intermediate small creature wave so both champions return for the final phase.

Stuck here? Repeated falls are a positioning problem: STAY IN THE CENTER CIRCLE, return to it after knockback and avoid Valk's forward gunfire.

Source guide with original game screenshots ↗

ENCOUNTER 04 / 04

Shae Vizla (Torch)

Where: Last metal arena beyond the champion ring.

  1. 01

    Keep clear of flamethrower

    The tank faces Shae away from the group; everyone else remains out of her front arc.

  2. 02

    Watch which floor tiles become lava

    Move from LAVA TILES onto SAFE METAL TILES as the arena changes.

  3. 03

    Run out of spinning fire

    When Shae starts the spinning FIRE RING, move outside the affected circle.

  4. 04

    Make Story companions follow

    Use COMPANION PASSIVE while running to safety if your companion is standing in lava or the fire ring.

  5. 05

    Click the banner at the end

    RIGHT-CLICK THE BLUE BANNER after she dies to complete CLAIM SHAE VIZLA'S BANNER.

Stuck here? If the quest remains active after Shae dies, the BLUE BANNER is the missing final action. If your companion dies repeatedly, use PASSIVE to pull them out of hazards.

04 · FIND A QUICK FIX

Why the quest is not progressing

Where is Blood Hunt? I keep searching Imperial Fleet.

Travel to RISHI → RAIDER'S COVE → EAST SIDE. The door and repeatable Story questgiver FROD MAKORA are there; this is not the Fleet Outbound Mission Hangar.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Why is Blood Hunt not advancing Shadow of Revan?

You need the separate outer TORCH'S FLAME mission on COMPLETE FLASHPOINT: BLOOD HUNT, as well as the [STORY] Blood Hunt run. Repeatable Story by itself does not advance Torch's Flame.

Reference and original discussion ↗

I can't find all six challenge rooms.

You are meant to finish THREE RANDOMLY CHOSEN rooms. The others remain locked, and some selected mini-bosses require a glowing blue interaction.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Shae Vizla keeps killing my companion.

During LAVA FLOOR and FIRE RING phases, move yourself to safety and set your companion to PASSIVE (default CTRL+2) until they reach you.
