(L05) The Ambush SWTOR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Bonus mission

Counter-Insurgency (Bonus)

Fort Garnik / Avitalan Badlands

Speak to Mirru

You start this mission in [1], of course. Exit through the door in [2] and then leave Fort Garnik through the gate in [3]. You'll find Mirru in [4]. Talk to him - you have to get information about the separatist attack out of him, but the way you'll do it will result in earning Light or Dark Side points (see the table below the picture for details).

Eliminate the Separatist Forces: 0/10

Go northwest right away. The bombs, deployed in [4], [5] and [6], are protected by groups of separatists. Killing ten of them will also mean completing a bonus mission, and you need to get rid of them anyway if you want to defuse the bombs. You'll gain 390 XP for eliminating ten separatists.

Disable the First Bomb

There are four separatists by each bomb. The first bomb is on the left - in [4]. Get closer and examine it. This will disable the bomb.

Disable the Second Bomb

The second bomb is by the road in [5].

Disable the Third Bomb

Finally, the third bomb is on the right, in [6].

Return to Republic Command Center

After defusing all the three bombs, it's best to simply let a group of separatists kill you (just not too far from Fort Garnik). This way, you'll be able to respawn in the medical center inside the fort. Head for the Republic Command Center in [2] and enter the building.

Speak to Private Farn

Inside, you'll be accosted by Private Farn in [7]. The private will complain about one of the commanders. Your replies will not affect the course of the story, though you can get some Dark or Light Side points. See the table below the picture for details.

A	Reply	Effect
1	I'd be glad to help.	End of conversation
2	We'll see if I have time.	End of conversation
3	I've heard enough.	Further conversation stage - B

B	Reply	Points / Rewards
1	Here, take some credits.	+50 to Light Side
2	Extra combat will do you good.	+50 to Dark Side
3	Don't bother me again.	+50 to Dark Side

Speak to Commander Tavus

After that, go to the commanders' room in [1] and speak with Commander Tavus. Before the end of the conversation you have to decide whether to report Lieutenant Virk to the commander (second dialogue option in the table below the picture), or not. Your choice will have an influence on how Lieutenant Virk will behave towards you in the near future. Apart from that, you'll accomplish the mission and receive another one, naturally.
