Guide to the Ancient Threat Fight
Part 1 - BUFFS
Step 1: BUFFS
#1 – Tatooine
Ancient Tome in Outlaw’s Den
EVERYONE in the group must have this buff in order to damage the boss.
#2 – Yavin Buffs
There are 4 Ghosts and 4 Corresponding Talismans found in various places on Yavin that are required to click the altar that spawns the Ancient Threat. Once you have these buffs, you CANNOT leave Yavin or change instances or they will disappear.
SITH SPIRITS: Only 8 people can get the buff at a time and the ghosts respawn every 8 minutes or so. All 8 in the group must stand on top of the ghost when he is clicked. He will do a knockback and buff everyone in the group. Do not click on the ghost until the entire group of 8 is standing right on top of him, or they will not receive it. These buffs last for one hour, so you need to do this and then get to the Talismans within an hour’s time or you will have to start over. You do NOT have to have all ghosts to get the corresponding Talisman buffs, but it helps to do them all before moving on to the Talisman part to keep you from backtracking.
Ghost 1 – Naga Sadow: Quick travel or Fly to the Temple Ruins Outpost on Yavin 4. The “Sith Spirit” is on top of the temple behind Lord Commander Inkari (from the planet mission line) – when you click him he gives you a Force Echo buff to the left of this text.
Ghost 2 – Marka Ragnos: Once you have the Sith Spirit in the Temple Ruins area, travel to the southeast into the tunnel marked “To Architect’s Hollow”. The Sith Spirit usually is floating around in the central area of this cave and will give you the Force Echo buff seen to the left when you click him.
Ghost 3 – Exar Kun: Quick travel to Imperial Alcove Camp (or fly to Imperial Recon Camp Speeder), and then travel to the west/northwest into the trees to find this Sith Spirit that will give you the Force Echo buff shown to the left when you click him.
Ghost 4 – Tulak Hord: Quick travel or Fly to Imperial Forward Camp and then travel to the south into the tunnel marked “To The Breaking”. The Sith Spirit floats around in this cave and will give you the Force Echo buff shown to the left when you click him.
TALISMANS: These do not have to be done in the same order that you clicked the Sith Spirits, as long as you have the buffs from all of the ghosts. However, the ghost buffs above only last for one hour, so you may need to do them in order to avoid losing a buff if it is taking you very long to collect and/or you have to wait for respawn timers during the first part. Once you click each Talisman, the “Force Echo” buff from the previous part will turn into a “Talisman Echo” buff that lasts 2 hours. It is VERY IMPORTANT that only one person stands near the Talisman to click it. Take turns going up to the Talisman one person at a time to click and have the rest of the group stand far away from the person clicking to convert their buff, or it will wipe your ghost buff and you will have to start over.
Talisman 1 – Naga Sadow: I would suggest starting with this one if you are ending with the Tulak Hord ghost in the previous part since it is right outside the cave in Prowler’s Trail, and will make the most of your timers (since Naga Sadow is the first ghost you clicked and that buff will likely be the lowest on the timers). This talisman is in the waterfall at the far south of Prowler’s Trail Area, and is a small little chalice that you need to mouse over to click.
Talisman 2 – Exar Kun: Go back into the cave marked “To The Breaking” and travel all the way south in that cave to the “Verdant Swamp” exit. Once you are in the Verdant Swamp, travel all the way to the south near the Republic Camp where the Commander spawns and the talisman is up behind the Yavin Head formation near the cliff. It is a small tablet on the ground that you need to mouse over to click.
Talisman 3 – Tulak Hord: Quick travel to the Imperial Alcove Camp and travel to the Massassi Camp to the southwest. Inside the Massassi hut with Master Zunor (the Revanite Champion from the planet quest line) is a basket with the tablet that you need to mouse over to click.
Talisman 4 – Marka Ragnos: Quick travel back to the Imperial Alcove Camp and then travel to the immediate south to the area exit labeled “To Training Grounds”. Once in the Training Grounds area, travel directly across the map from the west side to the east side where there is an exit labeled “To North Jungle Cave”. Right outside that cave entrance along a ledge is a small tablet on the ground that you need to mouse over to click.

PULLING THE BOSS:
The fifth and final Unknown Talisman is located north of Training Grounds in a forested area. If you were just getting the Marka Ragnos Talisman listed above, you can just travel to the west again to the middle of the Training Grounds area and find the path that leads up to the Ancient Threat’s location.
The final Talisman is among the skulls on top of an altar. You will need all 4 Talisman buffs before you can click on the Unknown Talisman. Clicking on the Unknown Talisman will grant you the achievement and complete the achievement Talisman Collector. This will also summon the Ancient Threat world boss, which you cannot defeat unless you have an operation group of 16 players or more. A guide to the fight can be found HERE.
