SWTOR Spirit of Vengeance Secret Achievements Guide

The Spirit of Vengeance is a Flashpoint players can run alone at level 75+, or with a group at as low as level 15 or higher. The Flashpoint takes place during the Legacy of the Sith expansion, and has a bunch of secret achievements, lore objects, and lore attached to it that you can go find.

War Profiteers

This achievement can be done even in story mode.

• Mercy for the Wicked: Finish the “Spirit of Vengeance” Flashpoint without defeating any War Profiteers.

  • 3 on the Fortune’s Folly Engine Deck
  • 1 in the Fortune’s Folly Kitchen
  • 3 in the Fortune’s Folly Lounge
  • 2 in the Fortune’s Folly hallways leading to the Officer’s Quarters looking at carbonite
  • 2 more in the Fortune’s Folly hallways further up near stuffed trophy heads

Relic Hunter

The three Relic Hunter achievements have you searching the flashpoint for some very hidden items. They give you no reward, but can be fun to look for. Once you’ve found them, you will be unable to find them again the future after you’ve gotten the achievement. As far as I can tell, every relic might be randomly placed in one of three locations, but will always be in at least one of the three locations. I found all of mine in story mode.

Relic Hunter: Varad

The Heirloom Varad Warstaff for the Relic Hunter: Varad achievement is hidden very early in the flashpoint. It will be a small staff with a pincer at the end and does not glow blue until you hover your mouse over it. It is very finicky to click, so if you find it, try hovering over it and zooming in so you can right-click it.

It can be hidden one of three rand0m locations in the Flashpoint, but it is always in the same room, after the first elevator on the first ship on the map called “The Champion’s Glory – Great Hall”.

Location A is leaned up against a lounge sofa.

Location B is leaned up against a crate in a corner.

Location C is on a table beside a bottle.

Relic Hunter: Ash’ad

The Ajak Genealogical Datacron for the Relic Hunter: Ash’ad achievement is hidden partway through flashpoint. It will be a green  rounded cube-shaped holocron and does not glow blue until you hover your mouse over it. It is very finicky to click, so if you find it, try hovering over it and zooming in so you can right-click it.

It can be hidden one of three rand0m locations in the Flashpoint, but it is alwaysin the same room as the second boss, Troya – the map is called The Seeker’s Vigil – Harpoon Staging”.

Location A is on the floor of a crate, near some carbonized bodies.

Location B is on a stack of crates, near where the boss is off to the side.

Location C is on top of a yellow shipping crate, you can jump on the load lifter to get up to it.

Relic Hunter: Dar’manda

The Aged Kri’gee for the Relic Hunter: Dar’manda achievement is hidden partway through flashpoint. It will be a rectangular bottle flask and does not glow blue until you hover your mouse over it. It is very finicky to click, so if you find it, try hovering over it and zooming in so you can right-click it.

It can be hidden one of three rand0m locations in the Flashpoint, but it is always in the same room, in dining hall after the kitchens on the second ship after the first boss.

Location A is on a shelf counter.

Location B is on a table with some other bottles.

Location C is beside a bench.

Precision Platformer

Be the first in your group to cross the hazard on the Dar’manda ship in the “Spirit of Vengeance” Flashpoint on Veteran or Master difficulty. Remember, you can’t use the easy right-side pathway on vet/master!

Other Achievements

Defeating each of the five bosses in Master Mode 25x will get you 20 CC for each boss.

Trophy: Heta Kol (Story) – Defeat Heta Kol in Story OR Veteran Mode in the Spirit of Vengeance Flashpoint x25 Times

Trophy: Heta Kol (Master) – Defeat Heta Kol in Master Mode in the Spirit of Vengeance Flashpoint x25 Times

Lore Objects

There are quite a few hidden lore objects with codexes in Spirit of Vengeance.

Mandalorian Relics: Old Raiding Map

This lore object is hidden on the left-hand side of the hallway with snipers in it. You’ll need to dart behind the vases to protect yourself before going out to get it. It is a glowing blue console against a window.

Mandalorian Relics: The Importance of Mandalorian Relics

This lore object is hidden on the right-hand side of the hallway with snipers in it. You’ll need to dart behind the barricade to protect yourself before going out to get it. It is a glowing blue console against a window with bones.

Mandalorian Combat Techniques: Aru’ela Epar

This lore object is hidden on top of some crates in the same room Goldie the Rancor is in, after the first boss but before the second.

Mandalorian Relics: Child’s Trophy

This lore object is hidden in a room after the second boss but before the third. This room has a bunch of pretty look objects on display as well. This lore object is a glowing blue child’s toy (carving of a tauntaun) on a desk near the entrance.

Dar’manda Recruitment

The Dar’manda Recruitment lore object is a small personal glowing blue datapad on a table before you start the fire jumping puzzle. It is after the first boss, and before the kitchens.

Advanced Deployment Harpoon (ADH)

I have this one written down as, “How to get the Advanced Deployment Harpoon (ADH): Awarded to the player after boarding the vessel “Champion’s Glory”, as part of the Spirit of Vengeance flashpoint” – but I ran the whole flashpoint with no luck. It might only apply when you run it as part of the main story.

Field Marshal Heta Kol

You receive this once you’ve defeated Heta Kol as the final boss.

Fight the Rancor

The small secret bonus quest Goldie’s Locks opens up the bonus boss Goldie the rancor in the Spirit of Vengeance in all modes, including Story, Veteran and Master. You start the quest by walking into a map with two bedrooms, it’s a few maps after the kitchen.

This will allow you to right-click the glowing blue button beside Goldie’s cage so you can fight the rancor!

Lore

These are the text entries you receive when you find the codex entries related to them.

The Spirit of Vengeance II

Deriving more than its name from its predecessor, the current Mandalorian flagship–the Spirit of Vengeance II–mirrors the grand scale of the previous Mandalore’s intimidating dreadnought, which was destroyed by Eternal Empire forces during the Zakuulan invasion.

After the war ended, many Mandalorians called upon the new Mandalore, Shae Vizla, to commission a flagship that rivaled the greatness of its predecessor. Vizla initially hesitated at the suggestion to build something so ostentatious, as she preferred more easily maneuverable ships to bulky and cumbersome dreadnoughts.

But, after considerable discussion with her advisers, Vizla saw the benefit of giving her warriors a tangible reminder of their indomitable past.

Mandalorian Relics: Old Raiding Map

A particular map in the Ash’ad’s possession shows an older Mandalorian clans’ raiding history. It is likely that one of the Ash’ad was using it as a record to indicate to other raiding parties where they might find the best and most rewarding settlements.

There are two factors that the scribe used to indicate how well the hunt went. The first icon by each location indicates the difficulty of the raid, or rather, how well the locals fought. The second icon notes the quality of the reward itself. One location is of particular interest in that the raid was both successfully repelled and the reward gained was incredibly valuable.

Given the relative age of the map, any defenders or loot are long since gone. However, a nearby note indicates that the Seeker’s Vigil should search for this location if given the opportunity.

The Importance of Mandalorian Relics

For many Mandalorians, relics are an important touchstone to connect with their long and fractured history. The cultural identity of this clan-based group is centered around conflict and combat, so a chaotic history of war is expected.

While grounded in a common creed and code, those who wish to understand and honor past achievements will look to items that gained significance during a specific event, battle, or because they were wielded by a person of great renown. These relics can become symbols of the core tenants of the Mandalorian beliefs; a physical embodiment of a philosophy that is rooted in the most primitive of contests between creatures of flesh and blood.

Perhaps more than the leaders before her, Mandalore the Avenger recognized the importance of these relics in helping to unify the clans with a history they could see and touch, and so began to collect and house important artifacts from the past in order to smooth the path to the future.

Mandalorian Relics: Child’s Trophy

What may seem like a small, unassuming block token that could be at home on any dejarik board is actually, upon closer examination, a child’s raiding trophy. It appears that it was part of a game where young Mandalorians would take turns claiming and protecting the item. Each time the item was successfully “raided,” the victor would carve their mark onto the surface of the token. This particular prize appears to have seen heavy use.

One of the Ash’ad archivists aboard the Seeker’s Vigil left a note with the token, a sketch of one of the marks accompanied by one word: “Ordo?”

Mandalorian Combat Techniques: Aru’ela Epar

“It is not so uncommon for our kind to find themselves imprisoned within the corrosive digestive system of a beast. It is only natural when you are fighting the fiercest creatures in the galaxy.

But you are mando’ade. Should you find yourself in such a circumstance, know that it is not the end of the battle for you–only a mere setback.

Your beskar’gam will protect you, so do not fear. Your besbe’trayc, whether it is blade or blaster, is sharper than the beast’s edee. Use it. Cut your way out of the thing’s belly, and show the creature that true verda do not make a good meal!”

–From a Mandalorian treatise on various combat techniques

Dar’manda Recruitment

“Are you meant for greater things?

Want to get paid what you’re worth?

Think you got what it takes to train in the deadly art of combat with a REAL Mandalorian?

Then join the best in the galaxy. Join the Dar’manda.

‘I was trained as a Mandalorian, but I found purpose, profit, and a home in the Dar’manda.’
-Bask Sunn, Dar’manda Lieutenant, Mandalorian Combat Master, Successful Entrepreneur.”

–From a Dar’manda recruitment flyer, found aboard the Fortune’s Folly

Advanced Deployment Harpoon (ADH)

A hybrid of a ship-to-ship weapon and hostile docking system, the ADH or “Harpoon” is a shielded tether fired into the hull of the targeted ship to prevent maneuvering and escape. Once anchored, the tether acts as an extended docking tube for rapid deployment of troops, hull breach equipment, and heavy ordnance.

A prototype of this technology was used in a number of successful search and rescue operations to extract personnel from compromised vessels. Encouraged by these early results, a number of private military organizations took an interest in exploring the wider combat applications of the ADH system.

Field Marshal Heta Kol

The leader of a group of disenfranchised Mandalorians called the Hidden Chain, Heta Kol rose to power through a combination of political acumen, skill in combat, and an unswerving belief that Mandalorians should use their skills in war to further their own agenda, rather than acting as mercenaries for hire. This belief appealed to many clans that had split away from Mandalore the Avenger. Kol herself took on the title of Field Marshal as a tribute to the Neo-Crusader movement from centuries past.

Kol’s current supporters come from the ranks of Clan Varad, the Ash’ad, and through a mutually beneficial arrangement with the ex-Mandalorian mercenaries, the Dar’manda.

“In Shae Vizla, I see only hypocrisy. She has driven out those who oppose her view, yet she has remade the Mandalorians into servants of anyone who pays her enough credits–no matter what they believe. Where is the honor in that?”

-Field Marshal Heta Kol
