(L09) Securing the Landing Zone SWTOR Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Fort Garnik
You can get this mission only after you've completed the class mission - Oradam Village (Trooper) / Deadly Delivery (Smuggler). Speak with Captain Xuss in [1] to receive it. Take a nearby taxi to go to Taxi (Volcano Camp Speeder).
Mount Avilatan
Speak to Sergeant Vandal
After reaching the camp by the volcano find Sergeant Vandal in [2] and talk to him to get further mission guidelines. You must visit the separatists at their main base - a stronghold hidden inside the volcano.
You'll come across a lot of different types of opponents both on the way and inside the base. Watch out especially for Separatist Monitor Droids [+], Separatist Commanders [+], Separatist Officers [+] (they fire short bursts and then throw grenades) . These enemies are on all three stronghold levels. Head for the Separatist Stronghold entrance in [3], shown in the picture below. The door leading to the stronghold is on the left.
Slice the First Terminal
Inside, locate the first terminal on Separatist Stronghold - Level 1 - in [4]. Kill the local enemies, and then slice the first terminal.
Then go to exit to an open yard surrounded by lava. Once you're there, find the elevator in [5], which will take you to Separatist Stronghold - Level 2. Apart from the abovementioned enemies, you'll face new ones on the second level - Separatist Tech Officers (they send electrifying probes) and Separatist Vanguards [+] (big enemies armed with heavy weapons who can push you away).
Slice the Second Terminal
The next terminal is in [6]. Don't forget about the enemies mentioned in the previous paragraph when you are slicing the terminal. The last one is on the last level of the stronghold.
Make your way to the corridor in [7]. It will take you to Separatist Stronghold - Level 3. Here, you should also watch out for Separatist Supervisors who can slow you down.
Slice the Third Terminal
Locate the third and the last terminal in [8]. Slice it and then make a 180-degree turn.
Right in front of you in [9], there is a green force field. Go through to appear in the story area. Run through the corridor to the landing.
Destroy the Landing Pad Anti-aircraft Guns: 0/2
The Landing Pad Anti-aircraft Guns are protected by weaker Separatist Sentries and a little stronger Chief Separatist Overseers [+]. There aren't many of them here - you'll clear the area and destroy two anti-aircraft guns in [10] and [11] easily. Once you've done it, you can wait for the transporter - a lot of the Republic soldiers will get off.
Return to Captain Xuss
Teleport to Quick Travel Point (Fort Garnik) or leave the stronghold and get to Taxi (Volcano Camp Speeder). Take it to get to the fort. Then run to [1] (see the first map in the mission description) to speak with Captain Xuss. You'll complete the mission and get the rewards.
Rewards:
- 2180 XP;
- 175 credits;
- Commando's Greaves / Gunslinger's Leggings (depending on a class).
