TACTICAL OBJECTIVE CHECKPOINTS

Step-by-step Hero walkthrough

Follow 9 documented checkpoints. Published objective sequences are distinguished from tactical recommendations. The available records do not establish a universal room-by-room route for every mission.

  1. CHECKPOINT 01 OF 9

    Unlock Luco's Sullust revenge mission

    Recruit Luco Bronc and resolve Sullust Search to unlock his Hero assignment. The published mission data marks it as expirable but does not confirm an exact universal deadline. Check the live HoloTable before spending a Cycle on unrelated tasks.

  2. CHECKPOINT 02 OF 9

    Deploy for an escort fight and a named survivor

    The operation is Help Luco Get Revenge, with Defeat the Separatist Forces before Eliminate Geryon appears. Luco is a required surviving operator; keep him in protected rear cover with access to squad support. A mobile damage dealer, long-range fire and a healing option give the team flexibility.

  3. CHECKPOINT 03 OF 9

    Establish two firing lines against the droids

    An observed walkthrough opens with B1 units, stronger droids and ranged threats before Geryon arrives. Keep the aggressive pair near forward cover while Luco and a ranged operator retain safer lanes. Use Overwatch or Backup when it helps remove a threatening sniper without overexposing the squad.

  4. CHECKPOINT 04 OF 9

    Save anti-droid effects for the later wave

    Do not exhaust all area attacks or consumables on weak early droids. The observed Geryon encounter later includes escorts that can protect him. Preserve a disruptive effect such as Dazed or Burning when available, and keep enough recovery utility for the boss encounter.

    Next checkpoint →
  5. CHECKPOINT 05 OF 9

    Watch for reinforcement and boss-entry markers

    When Geryon enters with more droids, the objective changes to Eliminate Geryon. Check the live map for the new threat; an observed route shows Geryon entering through a doorway. Shift Luco out of any newly exposed flank before taking extra attacks.

    Next checkpoint →
  6. CHECKPOINT 06 OF 9

    Remove the droids protecting Geryon

    One recorded fight shows Geryon's protection response when he is attacked with escorts nearby. If shooting the boss causes punishing retaliation, thin out his guard first. Break any interfering droid cover from defensible positions rather than losing the squad to repeated attacks on a protected target.

    Next checkpoint →
  7. CHECKPOINT 07 OF 9

    Apply control and focus the named target

    Use the current build's suitable disabling or armor-bypassing options to limit Geryon's next attack, then take coordinated shots or strikes on the boss. A recorded strategy uses Dazed and Burning effects, but precise ability ranks and utility charges vary by operator build; follow your active tooltips.

    Next checkpoint →
  8. CHECKPOINT 08 OF 9

    Avoid a clustered squad when rockets land

    Keep Luco away from the boss's incoming blast lane and give other operators separated cover so one area attack cannot down two required team members. Rally or heal an endangered teammate before pursuing a marginal final shot.

    Next checkpoint →
  9. CHECKPOINT 09 OF 9

    Finish Eliminate Geryon and return to the Den

    In one complete encounter the mission resolves when Geryon falls, without a mandatory full-map sweep of leftover droids. Follow the active win condition and allow the closing scene. Then check No Kings, No Masters, whose unlock also depends on Luco, Trick and other campaign decisions.

MISSION TROUBLESHOOTING

Stuck? Resolve the objective

Attacking Geryon causes punishing return fire

One recorded encounter shows protective retaliation while Geryon's escorts remain. Reduce the guard before focusing the super tactical droid, then use your current build's disruptive effects to control his counterattack.

Luco falls or the droid battle feels impossible

Luco must survive. Place him behind rear cover away from incoming rockets, protect against the reinforcement entry lane and reserve Rally or recovery utility. Concentrate attacks once the objective changes to Eliminate Geryon.
