FLASHPOINT WALKTHROUGH / IMPERIAL · TION HEGEMONY PART ONE · GROUP VETERAN
Kaon Under Siege | Exact Imperial route
Follow the Imperial Tion Hegemony storyline from Lord Velnine to the Ziost Shadow. Open the civilian skyway and security gate, defend the explosives with a mounted turret, burn the Behemoth with canisters and find survivors after defeating the rakghoul super-soldiers.
Mode and story notes: NO dedicated Story/Solo Flashpoint mode even though the level-50+ Imperial Tion story includes it. Manual Veteran from level 15; Veteran Group Finder from level 50; Master Group Finder at 80. The two-part story requires the quest Trouble in the Tion Hegemony, with Kaon before Lost Island.
01
Accept the Imperial Tion story at level 50+
On VAIKEN SPACEDOCK, open the station map and find LORD VELNINE in the SUPPLIES section. Accept TROUBLE IN THE TION HEGEMONY to follow the linked Kaon → Lost Island story. If you want only a repeatable run, the story quest is optional.
02
Travel to the Ziost Shadow Mission Deck
Use the fleet INTERFLEET TRANSPORT elevator and take the taxi to ZIOST SHADOW, or use its direct Quick Travel destination if available. On the capital ship head for the TION MISSION HANGARS on the SOUTH side of the Mission Deck.
03
Talk to the Imperial mission contact
For the full two-part story, speak to the story contact in the Tion hangar and follow the green-story-phase briefing. The briefing opens Kaon Under Siege as the first Flashpoint.
04
Talk to EN-C7 by the entrance
For a manual run, speak to EN-C7 in the Tion Mission Hangar, choose VETERAN MODE, and enter the nearby Flashpoint door. A pre-formed group should choose matching missions and difficulty.
05
Do not mistake story access for Solo mode
At level 50+ the two-part story is available, but the Flashpoint itself has NO dedicated Story/Solo difficulty or combat support droid. It requires a group in normal play.
06
Activity Finder alternative
At level 50–80, use ACTIVITY FINDER → GROUP → VETERAN FLASHPOINTS → FILTER → Kaon Under Siege. Manual entrance is preferable if following the narrative quest or introductory cutscenes.
02 · OBJECTIVE-BY-OBJECTIVE WALKTHROUGH
Where to go and what to click next
01
Enter the Civilian Skyway
Start in Kaon City and follow GET TO THE CIVILIAN SKYWAY. Look for a BLUE GLOWING DOOR and RIGHT-CLICK it. When grouped, each player may need to interact.
02
Find the crash site
Follow the city route and reach the CRASH SITE. Prioritize INFECTED MERCENARIES that grapple teammates; interrupt or stun them before they hold somebody for an extended period.
03
Open the Security Gate
At OPEN THE SECURITY GATE, find and RIGHT-CLICK the GLOWING BLUE GRATE/GATE object. A locked gate does not open by killing enemies alone.
04
Defend against the infected swarm
Start the DELAYED CHARGE DETONATOR DEFENSE by RIGHT-CLICKING THE BLUE BOX. RIGHT-CLICK the nearby TURRET to mount it, then point it at the rakghouls; the turret auto-fires in its facing direction.
05
Talk to Major Byzal
After the defense, follow the path to MAJOR BYZAL and complete the conversation. If in a group, everyone may need to trigger the interaction to progress.
06
Get to the Military Checkpoint
Follow the next city route until GET TO THE MILITARY CHECKPOINT. Move through the required passages rather than trying to cross inaccessible streets.
07
Detonate the Explosives
Locate the mission-highlighted explosives/control at the checkpoint and RIGHT-CLICK to DETONATE THE EXPLOSIVES. This is separate from the first detonator-defense event.
08
Reach the Rendezvous Point
Continue through the transit district to GET TO THE RENDEZVOUS POINT. Optional containment beacons and the KR-82 Expulser belong to a bonus quest.
09
Defeat the Rakghoul Behemoth
Bring the large red Behemoth beside a nearby IGNITABLE CANISTER; RIGHT-CLICK the canister while the boss is close enough to set it on fire and increase damage.
10
Get to the Spaceport
Follow GET TO THE SPACEPORT. Clear or safely bypass infected groups and reach the final super-soldier arena.
11
Defeat the three Rakghoul Super-Soldiers
Fight COMMANDER LK'GRAAGTH, CHAK'AGHAKH and G'KLARG. Coordinate focus fire; a common group tactic is focusing the Commander first.
12
Search for survivors
After the final enemies die, the objective is SEARCH FOR SURVIVORS IN THE SPACEPORT. Follow the marker and complete the final interaction/conversation before leaving, then return to the Tion hangar for the Lost Island handoff.
Optional activities: QUARANTINE BREACH unlocks KR-82 Expulser in Veteran and Master: defeat 25 + 25 hostile contacts → activate SIX containment beacons → defeat KR-82. The secret MIDNIGHT RAKGHOUL appears ONLY during the Rakghoul event; bring plague vaccines if choosing that separate challenge.
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.
