Galactic History 03 (Matrix Shard) SWTOR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

• Starting area: The River Lands / The Rustyards
• Target area: Sewer Maintenance Tunnels (inside)

Obtaining this Datacron is also a part of the side mission (L07) [HEROIC +2] Factory Recall. If you're not interested in it, use one of the two tunnel entrances. The first is in [1], right behind Gedron Hix.

The second entrance can be found in The Rustyards and is in [2].

The most dangerous enemies in the tunnels are Fa'athra Security Commanders [*] along with their lizards (if they are there then kill them first with a powerful attack). Watch out for them in the distance and whenever you encounter one make sure make sure you have full health before you start the fight. Also watch out for Fa'athra Tunnel Rats [+] and Fa'athra Security Officers [+] - a little weaker enemies, but still of potential threat.

After you've reached the fork in w [3] there will be more enemies on the road leading to the Datacron. Break through to [4], where a difficult boss awaits you - a powerful B3-4T Disposal Droid [#]. Don't try to attack him if there are no other players with you or at least your companion - in the latter case your character's minimum level should be 8 or even 9 (plus abilities suitable for this level). Also keep some Medpacs handy and use all boosting abilities before the fight.

Once you've destroyed the droid, you can search a chest under the opposite wall. On the right, in a dead end you'll find the very Datacron. It's likely that on your way back to [3] you'll need to defeat all the enemies one more time, provided they haven't managed to respawn yet.
