Last update: 11 May 2016

Evocii Swamps / The Old Muckworks

This Heroic mission will be given to you by Geric, the old man with a steel voice, who's sitting in the Evocii workcamp in [1]. Agree to help him. You'll get a Canister of Purifying Chemicals. The old man wants you to purify the river using very strong chemicals.

Investigate the Filter Station

Your first task is to travel far to the north to The Old Muckworks (through The River Lands location). You must get to [1] to water filtering station. Watch out for numerous and often dangerous enemies along the way - Renegade Evocii Reavers [+], Renegade Evocii Killers [+] and, above all, Renegade Evocii Firebrands [*]. When you reach the place you will get a new mission objective.

Speak to Bow-La

Talk to Bow-La standing in [2]. She'll tell you that if you put the chemicals into the river, the villagers will die, as they won't have anything to drink. Now you must decide what to do next. Your choice will influence the mission progress and will also result in earning Dark or Light Side points.

A	Reply	Effect	Points / Rewards
1	Better to clean the water.	Putting the chemicals into the river	+50 to Dark side
2	Yes, I'll protect the people.	Saving the villagers	+50 to Light side

Destroy the Southeast Filter Control Valve

Destroy the West Filter Control Valve

Destroy the Northwest Filter Control Valve

Destroy the Northeast Filter Control Valve

If you decided to protect the villagers, you will need to destroy four valves: in [3], [4], [5] and [6]. There can be opponents wandering around. Also, watch out for the Sliced Turrets [+]. Most enemies are in [7]. If you want to avoid the fight, simply don't come near them. Also, look out for individual patrolling enemies and groups of them in the bushes around the tanks.

Speak to Bow-La

After destroying the valves go back to Bow-La in [2] and talk to her. It doesn't matter what you say. Then, skip the mission objective described below and do the next.

Apply Chemicals to the Filter Station

If you decide to purify the river by using the chemicals, the mission will be much easier. The filter station is right next to [7]. Pour the chemicals in and then go back to Geric (it's most convenient to teleport to Quick Travel Point (Evocii Workcamp).

Speak to Geric

Talk to Geric in [1]. If you didn't apply the chemicals, then the mission will end at this point. But if you did, you'll get Geric's Secret Map and the last mission objective. You'll need to find a hidden cache with goods.

Find the Hidden Cache

You'll have to go back to the north, this time, heading for [8]. Once you're there, defeat Fa'athra Enforcer Droid [+], and then search the contents of the cache in [8]. The mission will be completed.

Rewards:

• 2080 XP;
• 156 credits (+54 credits, if you protected the villagers);
• Armored Pyro Gauntlets* / Poison Pit Gloves* (depending on a class).
