SWTOR Blood Hunt Flashpoint Guide

Story  Instructions

 

Requirements: To play the Blood Hunt Flashpoint in the story, and receive all the special cutscenes related to the Flashpoint in the story, you will need to be level 55+ and be on the correct quest in the Shadow of Revan chain. If you are below this level, you can not play the story quest or associated quest line for this Flashpoint.

---

Timeline: In the story, this Flashpoint takes place early on in the Shadow of Revan storyline, on the planet Rishi. It does not make much sense plot-wise to play outside of the story.

---

Bring a Friend: If you want to bring a friend along for this Flashpoint in Story Mode to do the full story line, you easily can.

If they have not done the Blood Hunt storyline, they can join you in a group and you can follow the exact same steps together as long as they are level 55+.

If they have already run the storyline, they’ll be able to join you in the cutscenes, by walking in the door after you on Rishi. Then after you finish that cutscene with them watching, you’ll be able to enter the Flashpoint, but your friend won’t have any quests so they can’t walk in behind you… tell them to go talk to the nearby Frod Makora alien questgiver and pick up the [Start Story Mode] quest and then they will be able to enter the Flashpoint with you.

They can also use the Solo tab in the Activity Finder to quickly join you once you are already inside the Flashpoint as long as they are level 55+.

---

Directions to the Story Quest for Blood Hunt: Blood Hunt’s one-time story quest is built in to the Shadow of Revan expansion storyline, once you are on the step called Torch’s Flame.

If you have not yet run through the Shadow of Revans storyline, you can start it from the glowing blue terminal on your ship. You will then run through these missions on the planet of Rishi.

→ Welcome to Rishi
→ A Scoundrel’s Debt
→ Monkey-Lizard Business
→ The Cove Crier
→ In Plain Sight
→ Making a Mark
→ The Slavers
→ Broken Blades
→ Heart of the Aggressor
→ Torch’s Flame
→ Blood Hunt Flashpoint

Once you get to Torch’s Flame, you’ll automatically be on the quest [STORY] Blood Hunt, where you can travel to the Flashpoint entrance and walk in – no need to talk to the questgiver, as you should already be on the quest. The closest quicktravel is Raider’s Cove and run a bit north, then turn east.

If you play in Story Mode, you will also get a Combat Support Droid to help you.

If you lose him, you can re-summon him by left-clicking the blue symbol beside the Blood Hunt quest.

If you can’t see that icon, you can also right-click the item in the Mission Items tab of your inventory.

---

Story Progress: [STORY] Blood Hunt alone will not progress your storyline – it is simply the repeatable solo version. To work on the overarching story, you also need to be on the quest Torch’s Flame as part of the Shadow of Revan on the step Complete Flashpoint: Blood Hunt and then run the [STORY] Flashpoint: Blood Hunt quest.

---

Lost the quest? If you lost the Torch’s Flame / Shadow of Revan quest, head back to the terminal on your ship you started at to re-pick up the quest, but keep in mind this story-based introductory quest related to the Shadow of Revan is one-time-per-character. If you lost the ability to walk into the Flashpoint door, or lost the quest with the word Flashpoint in it, you can pick up the  [STORY] Flashpoint: Blood Hunt quest from the Frod Makora outside the flashpoint’s entrance.

Solo (Story) Instructions

You can also run this repeatable Flashpoint solo outside of the one-time story quest, at level 55+.

---

Activity Finder: The FASTEST and EASIEST way to get into the Blood Hunt Flashpoint soo mode is with the Activity Finder. If you are level 55 or higher, click the icon of “three little people” on the bottom right of your screen which will open the Activity Finder Window.

Then choose the Solo tab in the Activity Finder.

On the solo tab, scroll down and find the listing for Blood Hunt on the list under Flashpoints, select it, then click the green Travel button. This will take you right into the Flashpoint!

---

Bring a Friend: You are allowed to bring friends along for this Flashpoint, you do not have to do it alone even though it is considered soloable. Your friends must also be level 55+, be in a group with you, and then you can all use the Solo Tab of the Activity Finder to get into the Flashpoint, and it will put you together no matter where in the galaxy you started from.

---

There’s really no need to walk into the Flashpoint manually, but here are the instructions.

Manual Entry: To enter this Flashpoint manually, you must go to the Blood Hunt’s Flashpoint entrance, which is located on the planet of Rishi, which you can fly to on your ship. The Flashpoint questgiver is named Frod Makora. If you don’t see the Solo version it means you are not yet eligible due to being below level 55. The solo, single-player repeatable mode will be called [Start Story Mode] from the questgiver. You can then walk in the nearby door and play the Flashpoint.

Step 1 – Get to Rishi, by flying there with your ship.

Step 2 – Walk to the Blood Hunt entrance in Raider’s Cove. It is in the east. Look for Frod Makora, and choose [Start Story Mode] to start the Flashpoint.

If you play in Story Mode, you will also get a Combat Support Droid to help you.

If you lose him, you can re-summon him by left-clicking the blue symbol beside the Blood Hunt quest.

If you can’t see that icon, you can also right-click the item in the Mission Items tab of your inventory.

Story: [STORY] Flashpoint: Blood Hunt alone will not progress your storyline – it is simply the repeatable solo version. To work on the overarching story, you also need to be on the quest Torch’s Flame on the step Complete Flashpoint: Blood Hunt and then run the [STORY] Flashpoint: Blood Hunt quest. See the Story tab for more info.

Veteran – Republic Instructions

Blood Hunt also has a repeatable 4-player Veteran version. It is meant to be completed by a group with any type of Republic characters in it, you do not necessarily need a tank or healer to complete it. You will likely also have good luck with 2 players and 2 companions, or 3 players and 1 companion.

---

Group Finder: If you want to queue up and enter Blood Hunt in veteran mode through the group finder, you will need to be level 53-80 and not currently on any Blood Hunt Flashpoint quests or it won’t show up as an option in the group finder. If you are level 53-80, click the icon of “three little people” on the bottom right of your screen which will open the Activity Finder Window. Then choose the Group tab in the Activity Finder.

Filter: If you want to specifically run Blood Hunt and not a random Flashpoint, make sure to choose Veteran Flashpoints, then click the Filter button the right and narrow your choices down to just Blood Hunt before pressing Join Queue. Joining the queue will put you in line to be matched with random players to play Blood Hunt with.

Groupfinder flashpoints do NOT show the cutscenes. To see the cutscenes related to this Flashpoint, you must enter it manually by walking in the door.

Bring a Friend in the Groupfinder: You can queue up with a group of 2, 3, or 4 players in the group finder. If you have a full group of 4, it will bring you straight to the Flashpoint with your full group. If you have 2 or 3 players in your group, the group finder will match you with other random players until you have a full group – but you’ll always be paired with your friends who started off in your group, and will not be split up.

---

Story: [VETERAN] Blood Hunt will not progress your storyline – it is simply the repeatable group version. If you are a low level, this is the only version that will show up on the actual Flashpoint questgiver in front of the entrance door – so don’t be confused and accidentally enter the group version if you are a low level, as it is not meant to be completed alone.

---

Bring a Friend Manually: Veteran Mode Flashpoints are not meant to be completed alone, though highly-skilled, highly-geared, high-level players might be able to. To bring friends along for this Veteran Flashpoint, they’ll need to pick up the Veteran Mode quest from the questgiver – or you can pick up the quest and share it with them, but they’ll still need to walk in the door manually. Characters walking in the door need to be level 15+.

Step 1 – Get to Rishi, by flying there with your ship.

Step 2 – Walk to the Blood Hunt entrance in Raider’s Cove. It is in the east. Look for Frod Makora, and choose [Start Veteran Mode] to start the Flashpoint.
