Kaon Under Siege

The easiest way to do the bonus boss is to have someone with +movespeed (in combat) pull him all the way back to before or just inside of the second bosses room.

He doesn't have an enrage timer and this makes the fight significantly easier. just slow dps at first and then burn burn burn after the first shield. you can damage him while his shield is up too.

the turret in the second bosses room might also help but I didn't try that..

In what way would this be easier than the way already suggested and recommended in this thread?

Just seems like waste of time to me.

I think its because then you never have to deal with the probe adds if you pull him far enough.. Idk.

Correct, probe adds spawn where the boss is standing pre pull, this way you can just burn it down before the adds reach you. Works great if you lack the CC necessary.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have a question for empire-side players who have done hardmode Kaon:

What color crystals drop in the weapons from the 2nd boss? On the republic side, they all seem to be blue, and although the weapons do not say forbidden to dark 1, after removing the crystal and putting it in a new weapon, that weapon will be forbidden to dark.

I really want to keep rocking a blue lightsaber on my jugg once I get him to endgame, so are these crystals still blue if you run this FP on empire side?

Nope, they're all yellow.

This doesn't make much sense, since color crystals are not supposed to confer their restrictions onto the weapons they are in. Darksiders can still use weapons with blue crystals, they just can't socket blue crystals (and green, and red for lightside). Are you sure the weapon itself didn't have that restriction?

Well, perhaps I remembered that wrong and I couldn't install the crystal, but the bottom line is that as a republic darksider, I couldn't use the blue +41stat crystals that drop in Kaon by moving them to my columi/rakata weapons. And apparently I can't get a blue one from here on an empire character at all. The color choices at endgame are sadly quite limited.

i got several yellow crystals from the 2nd boss, repub side, so im pretty sure you can get the blue one's
