SWTOR HK-51 guide with detailed walkthroughs on obtaining HK-51, the new companion droid introduced to SWTOR in Patch 1.5.
[center][/center]
Things to know before starting the quest (i.e. how to prepare)
You will need an alt of the opposite faction. It doesn’t have to be high level (Level 15 is ok). This is because one of HK 51’s components is obtained from the other faction’s territory but it is bind on legecy (i.e. you can mail it to your main)
The more the merrier. When hunting down HK-51’s components, the more people you have to cover territory, the better. Once a component is unearthed, anyone nearby, regardless of if they are in your party/ops, can loot it. If you scanner detects a component nearby, make sure to call it out so other players can benefit as well!
You will need to run two specific flashpoints as part of the quest.
Only Coruscant and Dromund Kaas compoents are bound to legacy, rest of the components go straight to your mission tab of your inventory and are bound to that character. So yes, you will need a level 50 character to unlock HK-51 but there might be an option in the future to unlock it for other characters in your legacy.
At the end of the mission, you will encounter a trio of Dread Forces Leader (champion) and 2x Dread Forces Gunner (strong).
Completing Fatal Errors will reward you with the following lore text for Fatality Crash
Theoretika portion– Heroic 2+
Completing Fatal Errors will grant you the next heroic 2+ mission: Directive: Activate Assassination Protocols for Empire players or Assertion: Repairs Required for Republic players.
Here is the quest text associated with it.
You will need to hop back on your shop and travel to the Unknown regions to locate the ship called Theoretika
This is a fairly spooky ship…
Deck 4
The first deck you will enter is Deck 4. It is pretty spooky here and there is a little treasure hunt here.. you will need to get an access card off one of the dead bodies and find two data recordings (if you want to do the bonus quest).
First, the dead body. Getting the badge off the dead body will grant you access to the two engineer decks down at the bottom of the map (left and right corner).
Don’t worry if you found a door that needs a security card to access. this door will be unlocked later!
The two datalogs
First one
Second one..
Now.. go to the bottom left and bottom right corners of deck 4, you can now open both doors with your recently acquired engineer ID badge..
You will find a datalog and an emergency power battery in each..
Fatal Errors (Empire) | The Fatality (Republic) – Heroic 2+
Quest start – Belsavis Section X
New arrives to Section X will be greeted by a droid called G0-A1 (Empire) | B6-31 (Republic) not far from the ship landing pad. He will hand you a quest called Fatal Errors (Heroic 2+) for Empire players | The Fatality (Heroic 2+) for Republic players and ask you to track down General Avrun (Empire) | Bren (Republic) out in the Frozen Lake.
While this quest is labeled as a Heroic 2+, it can be soloed if you are decently geared.
You will need to head to the west portion of Section X and enter a subzone called The Frozen Lake.
Talking to General Avrun | Bren will lead you to the middle of map where you enter an instance for the mission. Here is the lore/quest text associated with this part of the mission.
Right engineer bay
Battery
Datalog 3
Left Engineer bay
Datalog 4
There is also a battery here you can grab but it appears you don’t need it.
Unlocking Deck 5
To unlock Deck 5, you need to head to the very front of deck 4 and insert the battery into one of the clickable sockets.
This will allow you to power up the terminal nearby and get you access to Deck 5!
