SWTOR Ord Mantell Dynamic Encounters Guide

Dynamic Encounters are scheduled, timed quests on different planets in Star Wars: The Old Republic. If you are new to Dynamic Encounters and want to learn more about how they work and how to find them, visit the Dynamic Encounters Guide! This guide goes over all the Dynamic Encounters on Ord Mantell! 

Rewards

There’s a bunch of different rewards you can get from Tython Dynamic Encounters.

All Encounters

All encounters give credits and experience.

At level 80, these quests also give 50 Tech Fragments and 3 Conquest Commendations, which are used for end-game gear or to earn credits or cosmetic items.

Zylthan Foothill Clipper

Completing all of the encounters at least once and completing 30 Ord Mantell Dynamic Encounters total will earn you an achievement and a unique mount called the Zylthan Foothill Clipper. You can check your progress in your Achievements in the section Dynamic Encounters → Ord Mantell → Mastery.

Once you have earned this achievement, you can get the mount on your other characters by going into the achievement panel and right-clicking it, which will add it to your mounts list if you have speeder piloting (it will not give you an item in your inventory).

Fire Barrel decoration – Random drop.

Mantellian Wardrobe decoration – random drop.

Ord Mantell Encounters

Here are all the encounters you can find on Ord Mantell. Ord Mantell can be visited by any characters on the Republic side – Imperial players can not fly or get to Ord Mantell. Troopers and Smugglers start off on Ord Mantell and can work on these as early as level 1, but may have trouble defeating some of the enemies until around level 10. Jedi Consulars and Jedi Knights can get to Ord Mantell once they have finished their origin story on Coruscant and earned their ship so they can fly there.

Right click the stealth generator that has a marker on the map, it is a glowing blue back pack. This will give you a stealth temporary ability – you do not need to use it if you do not want to. Using any other abilities will break your stealth. You can sabotage in stealth. Your stealth generator only lasts 1 minute and 30 seconds though.

The glowing blue databanks are in the northern part of the tunnels – see the markers on the map.

ACHIEVEMENT – Lax Security Protocols

Lax Security Protocols Achievement – The Separatists on Ord Mantell seem to need some reminders about basic security practices (part of the Inside Job dynamic encounter).

While you are running around inside the tunnel of Inside Job, there is a keycard that has been left on top of a barrel. I found it near the little side room along the long tunnel marked on the map. It is very very small, it does not glow blue, and you can right click it to get it.

Normally, at the end of the dynamic encounter, here is an option that is grayed out- #3. [Insert Keycard.]

If you have the keycard, you can choose #3 to insert keycard and you’ll get the achievement when you are done.

Power Walking

Description: Republic Command has sent a Walker to resource-starved Fort Garnik. Give it a test drive and fight back the Separatists!

Step 1:

To get into the walker, walk near it where the map marker is on the map. Then a temporary ability should show up called Pilot Walker

Step 2:

• Test Orbital Strike
• Defeat Separatist Forces

You’ll become a walker and have temporary abilities you can use.
