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 from level 29+; Veteran through Activity Finder or manual entry at applicable levels; Master intended for level-80 teams. A standalone queued Veteran run is not the same as the linked Boarding Party story arc.

  1. 01

    Finish Boarding Party's story branch

    The connected story starts with X1-02/X1-09 and BOARDING PARTY first. Complete Captain Yelto's conversation after Storm Squad; then follow the new purple Flashpoint objective for THE FOUNDRY.

  2. 02

    Return to the White Nova

    Imperial Fleet WEST elevator → INTERFLEET TRANSPORT → taxi to WHITE NOVA → COMMAND DECK, or use an unlocked direct quick-travel point.

  3. 03

    Locate Sergeant Lodani

    On the WHITE NOVA COMMAND DECK find SERGEANT LODANI, toward the NORTHWEST, for repeatable mode selection. Use the nearby instance door after accepting the intended difficulty.

  4. 04

    Start the solo story if eligible

    If progressing the story alone, use Story/Solo at level 29+ with a companion and any provided support droid. Do not choose a repeatable [VETERAN] quest and expect it to substitute for the story.

  5. 05

    Use the mission text to confirm the mode

    Before entering, check whether your active mission is the purple connected story or the blue repeatable Flashpoint. If the mode is missing, check your journal for a conflicting version.

02 · OBJECTIVE-BY-OBJECTIVE WALKTHROUGH

Where to go and what to click next

  1. 01

    Talk to Helm Officer Martos

    Enter the Imperial transport and speak to HELM OFFICER MARTOS when asked. The dialogue hands off to infiltration of the Republic facility.

  2. 02

    Infiltrate the Foundry

    Advance through defenders and proceed to the SECURITY DOOR. RIGHT-CLICK the prompted override mechanism when the mission reads OVERRIDE THE SECURITY DOOR.

  3. 03

    Pass the Foundry Guardian

    Defeat FOUNDRY GUARDIAN near the stairway ramp. Back out of its orange MOLTEN BURST range rather than standing directly beside it.

  4. 04

    Enter the Factory Core

    Follow the factory walkways and clear necessary forces. Optional FORGED IN BATTLE counters may require 50 troops then 30 Extermination Droids.

  5. 05

    Defeat HK-47

    Enter HK-47's chamber and clear spawned extermination droids during the fight. When HK-47 begins ENGAGE CORE in the CENTER, GET OUT of the center before the pistons drop.

  6. 06

    Disable core generators

    After the core descends, quickly activate or destroy the BLUE GENERATOR OBJECT PANELS around the lowered core as required by your current mode. If missed, HK-47 gains a dangerous POWER OF THE CORE buff.

  7. 07

    Go to the Inner Sanctum

    When the mission changes to GET TO THE INNER SANCTUM, leave HK-47's chamber using the onward objective route and follow the path to Revan. Optional signal beacons belong to a separate bonus.

  8. 08

    Defeat Revan

    Move out of PURPLE GROUND CIRCLES, avoid standing with your back to a cliff during knockbacks, and interrupt his dangerous casts when possible.

  9. 09

    Finish at the Holoterminal

    After Revan's final shield/disappearance sequence, USE THE HOLOTERMINAL when instructed. Do not leave when he first becomes invulnerable.

Optional activities: FORGED IN BATTLE is optional: defeat Republic forces → Extermination Droids → disable shield generators → disable signal beacons → Burrower Matriarch. FORGOTTEN TECHNOLOGY is a separate optional terminal-collection objective.

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

Foundry Guardian

Where: Stairway approach after Foundry security access.

  1. 01

    Watch for orange glow

    The Guardian turns bright orange before MOLTEN BURST.

  2. 02

    Leave close range

    Step more than approximately 6 meters away until Molten Burst finishes.

  3. 03

    Advance safely

    A railing skip is possible for experienced parties, but fighting is clearer for first-time players.

Stuck here? Molten Burst, not a complicated boss puzzle, is the main risk. Move farther than normal melee range during the glow.

ENCOUNTER 02 / 04

HK-47

Where: Factory Core chamber after droid-filled walkways.

  1. 01

    Deal with extermination adds

    When HK-47 calls EXTERMINATION UNITS, clear droids so the room does not become overcrowded.

  2. 02

    Leave the middle on Engage Core

    When he returns to center and casts ENGAGE CORE, exit the core footprint before the pistons slam down.

  3. 03

    Use generator objects

    When the core is down, interact with the BLUE PANELS/GENERATOR OBJECTS on the exterior to reopen it. Four panel locations exist; the active required count can vary with mode.

  4. 04

    Prevent the empowerment

    If panels are not completed, HK-47 emerges empowered in red and can use powerful frontal attacks.

  5. 05

    Recover cautiously if bugged

    A reported bug can trap him in the core. Attempt line-of-sight from behind pillars if he remains attackable, or reset the encounter if the mechanics never clear.

Stuck here? Do not stand under the pistons. If he remains inside an apparently shut core, the panel mechanic or a known encounter bug may be responsible.

ENCOUNTER 03 / 04

Burrower Matriarch (bonus)

Where: Optional third-map boss reached through the Forged in Battle mission.

  1. 01

    Advance optional counters

    Forged in Battle includes Republic-force and Extermination-Droid kills, disabling shield generators, and signal beacons.

  2. 02

    Summon from the beacons

    If tracking the bonus, disable the signal beacons on the final map to summon the K'lor'slug.

  3. 03

    Avoid Noxious Spittle

    Move out of the DARK GREEN GAS PUDDLES; they are less obvious against the rock floor.

Stuck here? The Matriarch is OPTIONAL. If the bonus quest was not completed, continue to Revan instead.

ENCOUNTER 04 / 04

Revan, the Mysterious Jedi

Where: Inner Sanctum, final Foundry chamber.

  1. 01

    Move from purple circles

    Stay outside PURPLE CIRCLE telegraphs throughout the arena.

  2. 02

    Face away from ledges

    Revan can knock players back. Stand so a knockback does not send you over the arena edge.

  3. 03

    Interrupt dangerous casts

    Interrupt lightning and POWER OF THE FORCE where allowed; the latter can increase his damage.

  4. 04

    Wait through the end shield

    Late in the fight Revan gains a PURPLE SHIELD and becomes immune before disappearing. Follow the scripted conclusion.

  5. 05

    Use the holoterminal

    Right-click the required HOLOTERMINAL after the finale to complete the objective.

Stuck here? The purple end shield is a scripted conclusion, not necessarily a failed DPS check. Finish with the holoterminal.

04 · FIND A QUICK FIX

Why the quest is not progressing

Where is The Foundry if I am on the Imperial Fleet?

Take the WEST Fleet elevator to INTERFLEET TRANSPORT, taxi to WHITE NOVA, and find SERGEANT LODANI on the COMMAND DECK.

Reference and original discussion ↗

HK-47 is red and killing us. What went wrong?

During ENGAGE CORE, leave the piston area; after the core descends, use the exterior BLUE GENERATOR OBJECTS quickly. Failure empowers him.

Reference and original discussion ↗

HK-47 is trapped inside the central core.

This is a reported encounter bug. Try breaking line of sight behind a pillar if HK-47 remains targetable; if there is no interaction or progress, reset. Treat workarounds as reports, not guaranteed fixes.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Revan is shielded and will not take damage.

At the end Revan can enter a scripted invulnerable purple-shield phase. Wait for the encounter resolution and then USE THE HOLOTERMINAL.

Reference and original discussion ↗

Do I need Burrower Matriarch to finish the story?

No. That boss is unlocked by the separate Forged in Battle bonus. The mandatory route continues from HK-47 toward Revan.
