(L06) Slaying the Beast SWTOR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Bonus mission

Destroying the Deserters (Bonus)

Sith Academy / Lower Wilds

Take a taxi to the Lower Wilds

A long walk awaits you in this mission. During the journey you will explore most of the Korriban planet. You begin in [1]. Go to [2] to exit the Sith Academy and find yourself in [3]. Head for the Taxi (Sith Academy) in the north (marked with [T] on the map) and then go on a trip to a new location - Lower Wilds Outskirts - that is, Taxi (Lower Wilds).

Explore the Tomb of Marka Ragnos

After arriving in the vicinity of [4] you should mark Quick Travel Point (Lower Wilds), which is right next to the taxi. Then start to follow the path shown by green arrows on the map - unfortunately, you can't take a shortcut here. It's good to know that there are many side missions you can receive in the newly discovered areas.

Along the way, it will be good to stop at [5] and look for side missions and, above all to take the elevator up to the metal pier. There's Taxi (Field Research Area) and Quick Travel Point (Field Research Area) there. You should definitely mark both on the map.

Go back downstairs and head north. Finally, after a long journey, you'll manage to get to the gate leading to the Tomb of Marka Ragnos. They are located in [6].

Defeat the Acolyte Deserters: 0/5

You'll appear in the tomb in [7] and you'll have to get to [8]. But before you reach the place, you'll have to force your way through the armies of renegade acolytes. After killing one of them you will receive a bonus mission. Kill five acolytes to complete it and you'll earn 745 XP. Acolytes are not very challenging - watch out only for Exiled Acolytes [+] and Banished Warriors [+].

Meditate at the Ancient Sith Carving

Head to [8] and go through the green force field to the story area. Get some Medpacs ready, use boosting skills and then read the inscription carved in a large stone slab in [8].

Slay the Beast of Marka Ragnos

After a while a huge beast - The Beast of Marka Ragnos [*] - will appear in [9]. It's also the boss you'll need to defeat. The monster can stun and bring you down on your knees. If your level is the same as the beast's, you used boosting abilities and you have the abilities that correspond to your character's current level - then you should be fine. After slaying the monster, you'll obtain a Codex entry - Bestiary: The Beast of Marka Ragnos (Warrior) - worth 300 XP.

Return to Overseer Tremel

Speak to Dolgis

Go back to the exit from [7] and use Taxis or teleport at once to Quick Travel Point (Sith Academy). Go inside through the door in [3] and then run to Overseer Tremel's chamber in [1]. Before you reach it, you'll be accosted by Dolgis. It doesn't matter what you answer - the conversation will end in a fight anyway.

Defeat Dolgis

Speak to Dolgis

Dolgis is a weak opponent. Unless you don't have full health, you'll defeat him with ease. Then you'll have to decide what to do with him - you can kill him, let him go, or perhaps spare him and get some money for it (see the tables below the picture for details).

A	Reply	Effect	Points / Rewards
1	You earned this. [Kill him]	Killing Dolgis	+50 to Dark Side

3	Fool. [Kill him]	Killing Dolgis	+100 to Dark Side

Return to Overseer Tremel

Now you can talk to Overseer Tremel w [1] to finish this mission and receive the next.
