Speaker for the Dead Secret Achievement

This guide will cover the Speaker for the Dead achievement on Yavin 4, worth 50 Achievement points in the exploration category. The Speaker of the Dead hidden achievement requirement is to have spoke with all four Sith Lord Force Ghosts on Yavin 4, and in return, you get the Legacy Title: Speaker for the Dead.

Each ghost is either hidden in a remote area or simply patrolling a certain tunnel, and they’ll all be listed in order below. Note that each ghost must be right-clicked and “spoken with” in order to recieve credit for finding them. This should both give you a buff, and knock you backward away from the ghost once done.

Below each image of the ghosts are a short written description of their location, but if you’d like to see a map location we’ve got them pinned over on our Interactive Yavin 4 Map.

Dark Side Magician

This one is Naga Sadow, and sits on the edge of the large building that sits in the center of the ruins, directly in front of a statue of himself. You cannot climb up to meet him, but you can interact with him if you stand directly below, even if he seems far away.

Marked Spirit

This one is Marka Ragnos, and patrols the Stoneray Cave in the south end of the Temple Approach map. The inside is circular and he simply floats around it like the worst NASCAR driver in the galaxy. He never deviates from his circle and you shouldn’t need access to either personal phase inside the cave to find him.

Seeker of Forbidden Teachings

This one is Exar Kun, and wanders a dark forest in a remote spot north of the Massassi Village, directly west of the Imperial Alcove Camp. There will be lots of shadows and spider webs all over the area to let you know you’re in the right place – he patrols the back corner.

The Dashade’s Master

This one is Tulak Hord, and patrols up and down the tunnels of The Breaking, a cave network with tunnels leading to both Prowler’s Trail, Verdant Swamp, and the Training Grounds. Enter from your closest “The Breaking” tunnel entrance and start looking for him floating up and down the tunnels. He never leaves the cave system.

Further Achievement Hunting

The buffs received from each ghost do serve an ultimate purpose, along with the Talisman Buffs found around Yavin. These buffs combine to help summon the Ancient Threat, a 5th ghost that can be fought with a dedicated operation team like a world boss. This is a lot more difficult than simply exploring Yavin 4, but if you’re up to it, check out the Ancient Threat guide here [WIP!].
