This Flashpoint has a lot of enemies on the way and quite a few bosses, nothing special to know about the path except that like most of all Flashpoints you have bonus stage quests that will allow you to unlock a bonus boss (in Hard mode), so take the time to do them.

The bosses will follow one another very quickly, progress from point to point by facing everything that comes in to the prison security post.
Oppressor Droid X-37
Point of view : 65 180
capacity :
- Powerful strike: Go knock the tank down and give it a few slaps then throw it away
- Punishment: Will draw everyone in melee and will cast a power. Players who don't stray quickly enough will lose 25% of their maximum health. The boss will then be stunned for 6 seconds, the Healer must take the opportunity to quickly raise the affected players, and the Tank must take the opportunity to return to Melee to resume his tanking
- Energetic Breath: Shot channeled on the Tank, can and must be interrupted, really not having much time to mount the threat in this fight, it is therefore essential to properly interrupt this power which can easily target a DPS that would have taken over. 'aggro it as long as the Tank recovers from all its rushes.
And it starts again from the beginning, the key to the fight is in the reactivity of the players to move away from the boss during Punishment, and in the healer who will have to quickly reassemble the players between each.
Colonel daksh
Point of view : 202 556
"Do you know Cyclops in X-men? Well that's him."
This is what I was given as an explanation when I made this boss, luckily I will go into the details, and you will understand!
First of all, he is accompanied by two friends (4 hp) who will have to be eliminated at first glance. Then comes the boss's turn. We can consider that it has two phases:
- Phase normal
- Phase we hide
capacity :
- Laser Wrist Burst: Simple power that deals damage to the target
Not much to do other than deal damage to the boss.
It gets a bit complicated. Indeed, a message, at 75 and 25% of his health, will warn you that Daksh has charged his optical beams. Which means that if you hang around in his field of vision, you will take full force of a beautiful burst of laser coming out of his eyes (you understand "Cyclops" now?).
The technique generally used is to "kite" the boss (make him run), around the crates next to it, to prevent him from targeting one of the players. If the tank has aggro well, the DPS can still do some damage on it before being seen. This can help especially if you run out of DPS before the enrage.
After your victory over the boss, go to the terminal to chat a bit with Kilran and Oteg, you will also have the choice between having the Republic Fleet withdrawn or sent to the pipe breaker (alignment). Now head to the heart of the prison, a small series of bosses awaits you.
Lord Kancras
Point of view : 70 871
capacity :
- Tortured Maelstrom Hound: regularly summons Hounds (2 hp) to help him
- Rampage: Channeled Attack (can be interrupted)
Not much to say in terms of strategy. Eliminate the dogs as you go so you don't get overwhelmed, the rest of the time, hurt Kancras.
Boss Bonus: Maelstrom Ancient Render
Point of view : 109 897
This boss has no ability per se. Above all, he'll send you flying to the other end of the room. To avoid certain death, therefore avoid placing your back to the void.
Lord Vanithrast
Point of view : 70 879
capacity :
- Howler: Vanithrast is accompanied by a critter (24 hp)
- Rotating Strikes: A power that cannot be interrupted and deals significant damage. Pull back when he starts to channel it
Another boss that is not very complicated, start by killing the Howler, move away from his rotary strikes. He will also from time to time a small sprint followed by a disappearance in the direction of a person then will give him a small deceitful blow in the back, the Tank will have to take back the boss at this moment.
Maelstrom Elite Guard
Point of view : 25 986 and 24 751 (x2)
They don't look bad at first, they're only elites, you might think they're just trash. But be careful, they can be quite dangerous if you are not careful.
An advice ? Use the mark system to target the same, and kill them faster.
Once this small series of bosses has been defeated you finally arrive at the heart of the prison where your final boss awaits you.
Grand Moff Rycus Kilran
Point of view : 107 743
capacity :
- Sniping: a long shot, which slows the target and inflicts damage to it
The fight will consist of three phases.
The first phase consists of eliminating the Butcher's bodyguards, then joining him in close combat while avoiding his Sniping. For this you can use the decor.
Once you get to him, inflict some damage on him, he will push you back, and the second phase begins, on the same principle. It will be necessary to eliminate the bodyguards that appear, then finally join him.
It will then be enough to reduce his life to zero to finish the fight. You can then enjoy the dialogue that follows, especially KOTOR players!
