In Cold Blood

Your inquiry into the Blacklist posting was answered by one Aristocra Hadro of the Chiss Ascendancy. He informed you that he desires the capture of a Trandoshan pirate captain by the name of Reneget Vause. Blizz is certain that eliminating the last high-ranking captain in the White Maw, Ki-Ta Kren, will make you a target that Vause couldn't possibly resist. Kren is the taskmaster in charge of the White Maw's repair efforts of the crashed dreadnaught they use as a central base.

Arriving at the dreadnaught in the starship graveyard, you discover that much of the twisted wreck is inoperable. It is likely that Ki-Ta Kren is at the bridge overseeing repairs. Search for him in the Command Center of the Star of Coruscant.

Tasks:

  • Locate Ki-Ta Kren
  • Find a Way to Open the Door
  • Defeat the White Maw Forces
  • Speak to Ki-Ta Kren
  • Defeat Ki-Ta Kren
  • Defeat Xan
  • Defeat the White Maw Lieutenants
  • Go to the Observation Deck
  • Speak to Reneget Vause
  • Defeat Reneget Vause

  • You've renewed my faith in your profession, bounty hunter. I'll be wiring a substantial sum to an account of your choosing.

    Bounty Hunter
    Glad to be of service.
    Bounty Hunter
    I love my job.
    Bounty Hunter
    Be sure to tell everyone that.

    Still, Vause dead is better than another failure. You will be paid in full.

    Bounty Hunter
    This is the way it had to be.
    Bounty Hunter
    You took that well.

    That concludes our business, if there is nothing else?

    Bounty Hunter
    Yes, that's everything.
    Bounty Hunter
    Got anymore work?
    Bounty Hunter
    What happens to Blizz?

    If you agree to a reduction of your pay, I'll release it to your custody.

    Bounty Hunter

    Bounty Hunter
    Welcome aboard.

    Bounty Hunter
    Good, 'cause you owe me.
    -1 with Blizz
  • No fair! Blizz help too! Why everyone Blizz help want to kill Blizz? New friend not want to kill Blizz, right?

    Bounty Hunter
    I want to take Blizz with me.
    Bounty Hunter
    It's okay, Blizz. I'll help.
    Bounty Hunter
    Why bother keeping a prisoner?
  • And I thought working for you was a thankless job.

    Bounty Hunter
    It is. We're going.
    -1 with Gault

    If I learned anything on Tatooine, it's that seeing a Jawa get electrocuted is hilarious. Stick around for the show?

    Bounty Hunter
    Shut up, Gault. We're helping.
    -1 with Gault
    Bounty Hunter
    Tempting, but no.

    Hey, don't look at me. Killer here dies, and I'll be looking for a new job.

    Bounty Hunter
    That's not nice.

    Honor's an expensive habit you got there.

  • I wondered when you'd come.

    Bounty Hunter
    Let's make this quick, Kren.
    +15 with Torian Cadera
    Bounty Hunter
    You've been expecting me, huh?
    Bounty Hunter
    I've got you dead to rights.

    Capture and torture would be your fate. It would disappoint Reneget to learn you came so far only to be robbed of a glorious death.

    Bounty Hunter
    Keep it between us.
    Bounty Hunter
    That would be a shame.
    Bounty Hunter
    I'm not the one dying today.

    The survivors of this ritual form a new tribe. Brothers and sisters in blood... my brothers and sisters are few now.

    Mako
    Bounty Hunter
    It'll be a small funeral then.

    All the tribe must spill blood. You must face our brother. In this I fear I will only trade one sibling for another.

    Bounty Hunter
    I won't be killing Vause.
    Bounty Hunter
    Sorry it's gotta end this way.
    Bounty Hunter
    I'm wiping you out. [Kill him]
    +50

    I ask you. Do not rob me of my last brother.

    Bounty Hunter
    Give me Vause. Now.

    It's the only way this can go.

    Bounty Hunter
    Hey, it's not our money.

    You can't let them kill Blizz! We might never have gotten Vause if it weren't for him.

    Bounty Hunter
    He's their prisoner.
    -1 with Mako
    Bounty Hunter
    Will you let the Jawa go?

    No way, rot-breath! I can't let him do that to you.

    Bounty Hunter
    It's okay, Mako.
    +120 with Mako

    Uh, you really want to go through with this? I don't know if I can stop him alone if something happens.

I had no trouble as a merc at 40. I even had torian out to gain affection and did not fall below half, mako I doubt I would have been damaged. CC kren and burn the strong first and after that just move out of the AOE he spawns and jetboost him when he channels lightning at you.

http://www.torhead.com/mission/cvhPZuY/notorious is the next quest in the series.

This clown (Ki-Ta Kren) is a ridiculous joke (in the bad way) as a merc healer. I tried 5 times killing him with Mako and Gault 1 time each, couldn't even get him past 80%. Tried heal spamming the crap out of Torian 3 times and got him down to 5% 2 times. Overheat always kills me and Torian. I have no idea what to do except try to respec and learn how to play the dps specs before I can kill this guy.

As merendel said, CC'ing Kren at the start then burning the strong is a big help.

I'm a level 40 mostly Bodyguard Merc, and had Torian out. What I did after the CC & strong burn was to ensure I had 30 stacks of Supercharge up, then I agro'ed Kren before Torian. I did this so I could do the following loose "rotation/sequence" which kept us both very alive:


- Fusion Missle to agro him to me (personal choice, there may be better options)
- Electro Dart > Heroic Moment: On the Trail immediately to keep my health up
- Supercharged Gas to make me kick extra hard with both heals & DPS
- Energy Shield and Kolto Overload as you need it also to keep your health up
- Lots of Tracer Missile on Kren (I made sure to spec high enough into Arsenal to keep this ability)
- Kiting him out of any AOE affects he created + using Jet Boost as merendel suggested
- Plenty of heals on both myself and Torian (or w/e companion you use); this included me using my Reusable Physician Med Unit to heal us both for a nice chunk mid-way through


Either I got very lucky, or my protective tactic is a solid one. Best of luck to all ya'll out there!

I'm obviously doing something wrong. I headed towards the waypoint for this mission and it took me into Republic territory where I had to turn around or be flagged for PVP. What did I miss? Because my map keeps saying that I have to go there...

I've tried the tactic of merendel, but no luck. As a 41 merc I get creamed (6 times) every time, no matter which comp. I use... Must be doing something wrong..?

Now waiting 10 mins to try again....thought id come here to see if I was the only one who was having trouble with this...turns out im not! This is ridiculous...I am using Torian and im a level 40 Merc...I get this guy down to under 1k health every single time and its just not in my power to be able to pull this off! This is friggin stupid as all hell!

Update
I figured id try Mako for my last attempt and just have Kren focus on me and incorporate what merendel pointed out, worked out a lot better than I thought, beat up on Kren and got to Vause no problem. Its still a tight fight dont get me wrong, but much easier with Mako (Aff. 6,000) vs Torian (Aff. 1,500). Just dont forget to use Jet Boost!
