Back with Moff Phenir & Dark Malgus you learn a little more about the Foundry, It is one of the three ancient space stations Rakata: The Star Forge. She is able to create endless armies of droids without ever stopping, under the control of a Jedi master who has surely gone mad over centuries of imprisonment the consequences could be dangerous for the Empire. Meet aboard Dorin's Sky to launch the assault on the Foundry.

Phase 1:
HK-47 will chain shots & throws grenades, at 80% / 60% / 40% / 20% it will pop two adds for the elevators at the entrance, you will have to kill them quickly. HK-47 will disappear a few seconds later giving you time to type the adds, a few seconds later it will reappear, finish your adds so that it disappears again, you will see it move towards the center to lock itself in, do not not follow you can die crushed, this is where phase 2 begins.
Phase 2:
HK-47 is locked in the center, two new adds will come out of the elevators, kill them to bring HK-47 back (You can also break the controls in the center to make him come back earlier but in normal mode it's useless) Back In Phase 1 HK will do a Suppression Flurry, make sure you owe the whole group high enough in HP to take it.

Darth Revan adopts two different postures, the Power in balance (from 100 to 50%) gives him these techniques:

From 50% until the end he will sink into the dark side, his Expert Strike technique will be replaced by Force Bolt (kickable) and will regularly attract players to him then cast a Force Storm (not kickable), you will have to watch out for it. quickly dismiss.
At 25% it will go to the center and cause meteorites to collapse throughout the room for about thirty seconds, do not stay in the targeted areas it hurts a lot, then resume the fight up to 5% where Revan will gibber a few words before disappearing, let's hope he is not dead and that we meet him again very soon!
