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 Imperial Forged Alliances: Part III from level 53+; Veteran for groups at eligible lower levels; Master for coordinated level-80 groups. The outer Prelude quest must be active when completing the Story instance.

  1. 01

    Finish Depths of Manaan first

    Complete DEPTHS OF MANAAN and speak to LANA BENIKO and THERON SHAN on Manaan, then return to Lana on the FLEET to finish FORGED ALLIANCES: PART II.

  2. 02

    Return to Lana's Fleet story phase

    Use the Imperial Fleet WEST ELEVATOR → OUTBOUND MISSION HANGAR. Follow the green story-phase door and speak to LANA BENIKO. This begins FORGED ALLIANCES: PART III.

  3. 03

    Locate Legacy of the Rakata's Fleet door

    Remain on OUTBOUND MISSION HANGAR and follow the mission marker to LEGACY OF THE RAKATA's colored Flashpoint door; there is no requirement to fly to Rakata Prime by ship.

  4. 04

    Repeatable solo entry via L3-R3

    For a replay, speak to DROID L3-R3 beside the door and select START STORY MODE at level 53+, then walk inside.

  5. 05

    Verify the outer Part III quest

    To advance the Imperial story, FORGED ALLIANCES: PART III must be active along with [STORY] Legacy of the Rakata. Running just the repeatable Story instance will not replay the one-time Lana/Theron story.

  6. 06

    Use Activity Finder only for repeatable solo runs

    Activity Finder → SOLO → LEGACY OF THE RAKATA → TRAVEL. This is useful for replay or joining a friend but does not substitute for required Fleet story conversations.

  7. 07

    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

    Speak to Jakarro

    Upon entering RAKATA PRIME, locate and SPEAK TO JAKARRO. Complete the conversation to advance the opening Temple of the Ancients approach.

  2. 02

    Locate the Temple of the Ancients

    Follow the winding jungle path toward the TEMPLE OF THE ANCIENTS; do not search for an entrance on the Galaxy Map.

  3. 03

    Progress Past the Rakatan Village

    Move through Rakatan villages and the WRECKED SHIP route. Either clear defenders or follow a coordinated skip around the large initial boulder, then through the wreckage.

  4. 04

    Defeat War Chief Rehkta and the Savage War Beast

    In the early encounter, fight REHKTA alongside the RANCOR-LIKE SAVAGE WAR BEAST. Move out of fire and floor warnings before advancing.

  5. 05

    Continue to the Temple of the Ancients

    Proceed deeper along the quest-marked path, through ruined Rakatan architecture toward a series of supply caches.

  6. 06

    Destroy Rakata Weapon Caches

    Look for GLOWING BLUE CRATES marked as RAKATA WEAPON CACHES and RIGHT-CLICK the required number. These are mission objects, not simply enemy drops.

  7. 07

    Continue to the Temple

    Follow the open jungle/ruins passage toward Commander Rand. Master Mode groups may encounter an optional Infinite Army Prototype before the commander.

  8. 08

    Defeat Commander Rand

    Rand summons Infinite Army support. He marks RED FIRE CIRCLES on the ground; you can position some lesser enemies inside them to burn them.

  9. 09

    Access the Inner Temple Door

    Once Rand falls, the next objective is ACCESS THE INNER TEMPLE DOOR. Find and RIGHT-CLICK its highlighted control; continuing to kill adds does not open it.

  10. 10

    Head to the Temple Roof

    Follow the newly opened temple route upward until the quest updates to HEAD TO THE TEMPLE ROOF.

  11. 11

    Confront Darth Arkous and Colonel Darok

    Fight DARTH ARKOUS and COLONEL DAROK on the roof. Move out of visible ground danger; in MASTER MODE two targeted BLUE CIRCLES must stay apart rather than overlap.

  12. 12

    Contact Theron and Lana via Holoterminal

    After both enemies die, find the GREEN COMPUTER with a TINY GLOWING BLUE BUTTON and RIGHT-CLICK it. This completes CONTACT THERON AND LANA VIA HOLOTERMINAL.

  13. 13

    Leave through the proper exit

    Use the glowing escape pillar or nearby shuttle, or the Exit Area button if the pillar is missing. Do not leave before the holoterminal interaction is complete.

  14. 14

    Resume Shadow of Revan story

    Follow the purple FORGED ALLIANCES: PART III turn-in/handoff to LANA BENIKO and the Shadow of Revan main expansion. The Flashpoint's boss kill alone does not complete the outer quest.

Optional activities: MASTER ONLY: Infinite Army Prototype after bonus enemy kills. It casts Unstable Barrier and may require line-of-sight cover. For normal Story completion, all weapon-cache clicks and the final tiny-blue-button holoterminal remain 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

War Chief Rehkta and Savage War Beast

Where: Rakatan Village before the weapon-cache objective.

  1. 01

    Target the War Chief and beast

    Both enemies are part of the first major encounter; maintain aggro and clear dangerous supporting enemies.

  2. 02

    Avoid the fire on the ground

    Move out of floor fire telegraphs when they appear.

  3. 03

    Continue to weapon caches

    The follow-up objective is not another boss: find and CLICK the blue Rakata weapon crates.

Stuck here? Defeating Rehkta does not finish the temple route. The next objective requires glowing BLUE RAKATA WEAPON CACHES.

ENCOUNTER 02 / 04

Infinite Army Prototype (Master bonus)

Where: Optional Master-only encounter after the caches and before Rand.

  1. 01

    Unlock the bonus objective

    In Master Mode defeat the required enemies to unlock the optional Infinite Army Prototype.

  2. 02

    Watch Unstable Barrier

    When the boss casts UNSTABLE BARRIER, leave its danger radius or hide behind a solid nearby object.

  3. 03

    Beware of the outer route

    Running outside behind the tall plants may summon smaller Scavenger Womprats. Some groups line-of-sight behind a vase or pot to avoid those adds.

Stuck here? This large optional enemy is a Master-only bonus and not part of the normal solo Story sequence.

Source guide with original game screenshots ↗

ENCOUNTER 03 / 04

Commander Rand and Infinite Army

Where: Temple approach after Rakata caches.

  1. 01

    Move from red circles

    Commander Rand marks players with RED FIRE CIRCLES; avoid standing in them.

  2. 02

    Position adds deliberately

    The fire can harm smaller support enemies, so the tank can place them inside the warning zone when safe.

  3. 03

    Use inner door after the fight

    Once Rand falls, activate the HIGHLIGHTED INNER TEMPLE DOOR instead of waiting for it to open on its own.

Stuck here? If the next route is locked, find ACCESS THE INNER TEMPLE DOOR and interact with the marked door/terminal.

Source guide with original game screenshots ↗

ENCOUNTER 04 / 04

Darth Arkous and Colonel Darok

Where: Temple Roof final battle.

  1. 01

    Fight both betrayal conspirators

    Darth Arkous and Colonel Darok appear together as the final story encounter.

  2. 02

    Master: separate the blue circles

    Two players may receive BRIGHT BLUE TARGET CIRCLES. Spread so the circles do not overlap.

  3. 03

    Use a very small holoterminal button

    After the fight, RIGHT-CLICK THE TINY BLUE BUTTON ON THE GREEN COMPUTER to contact Theron and Lana.

  4. 04

    Leave after contact updates

    Use the escape pillar or shuttle only once the holoterminal quest text completes.

Stuck here? The most important last step is easy to miss: there is a SMALL BLUE BUTTON on the green computer after the two bosses.

04 · FIND A QUICK FIX

Why the quest is not progressing

Where is the Imperial manual entrance to Legacy of the Rakata?

Imperial Fleet → WEST ELEVATOR → OUTBOUND MISSION HANGAR. The repeatable STORY quest comes from L3-R3 next to the colored Flashpoint door; the linked Part III quest comes from Lana.

Reference and original discussion ↗

I defeated the first Rancor boss but the quest will not advance.

RIGHT-CLICK each GLOWING BLUE RAKATA WEAPON CACHE along the temple route when the objective says Destroy Rakata Weapon Caches.

Reference and original discussion ↗

We defeated Commander Rand and are stuck outside the temple.

Follow ACCESS THE INNER TEMPLE DOOR and CLICK its highlighted control before heading for the Temple Roof.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Arkous and Darok are dead; how do I finish?

Look closely at the GREEN COMPUTER near the end. RIGHT-CLICK ITS TINY BLUE BUTTON to contact THERON AND LANA.

Reference and original discussion ↗

The exit pillar is missing after the final fight.

The original guide reports that in some modes the glowing pillar can fail to appear. Use the nearby SHUTTLE or Exit Area once the holoterminal objective has registered.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Why didn't the Shadow of Revan story advance?

Make sure FORGED ALLIANCES: PART III was active on this Story Flashpoint, finish Contact Theron and Lana via Holoterminal, then return to Lana's story step.
