How to Start<\/h2>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/swtor-uprisings-quests.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
All Uprisings start at the glowing blue table in the Combat Training section of the Republic or Imperial Fleet. You can also enter the Groupfinder for Veteran Mode, just keep in mind if you filter for just Crimson Fang, you won’t be eligible for the bonus groupfinder rewards for running a random Uprising.<\/p>\n
Once you have picked up an Uprising, left-click the icon of a shuttle in your quest log to travel to the Uprising.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Difficulty Modes<\/h2>\n\n- Story Mode:\u00a0<\/strong>Easiest mode, designed for four players but likely doable with 2 or more decent players in any roles and their companions.\n
\n- Solo:<\/strong> I think I had a hard time even getting past the first boss as a damage character, but was able to do it on a tank character who was level 80, well-geared, and had a Rank 50 companion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Veteran Mode: <\/strong>Middle difficulty but not that much harder, designed for four players but likely doable with 2 or more decent players in any roles and their companions<\/li>\n
- Master Mode<\/strong>: Quite difficult mode, most groups will need a full four players, including 1 healer, 1 tank and 2 damage players. Very competent groups might be able to do it with 3 players and one companion. Your team should be decently geared, understand their class and role, and be ready to do some mechanics and stay out of bad stuff on the ground.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Crimson Fang Power-Ups<\/h2>\n

![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abeca89c75d.png\")
<\/p>\n
While running Crimson Fang, keep you eyes open for glowing blue crates with powerups inside. In Crimson Fang, they can also look like glowing blue weapons lockers. To open a crate, you can right-click it, then walk over the item it reveals.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abd9fb80d78.png\")
<\/p>\n
Once you’re carrying a power-up, you’ll get a temporary ability to use it, and you can get up to one of each kind. These crates and lockers will be hidden throughout the Uprising.<\/p>\n
You can also right-click fuel tanks to explode them, hurting nearby enemies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Boss 1: Jor “Oneshot” Mesok<\/h2>\n
Jor “Oneshot” Mesok the first boss is right away in the Uprising. You can stealth past him \/ up to him, but you need to fight him for the Uprising, or the next door will not open.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abdcc225ef7.png\")
<\/p>\n
There are three medpacs kinda very nearby – one under the ramp platform and one to the far right coming down the ramp, and one to the right of the bosses. There are usually three medpacs hidden near every boss fight.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abdd0934859.png\")
<\/p>\n
Jor will jump up high once the fight starts – you can’t hurt him up there due to his shield.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/jor-uprising-shield.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Jor will shoot you from up high with these yellow arrows. You can stop him from shooting you by breaking his line of site.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abdea705a0f.png\")
<\/p>\n
In the first location he goes to, you can break his line of site by hiding in the boxes directly below him.<\/p>\n
When he moves the second time, you can avoid him by breaking his line-of-sight by going into the “T” part of the room where he can’t see you. (red x is safe location, see map below)<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abdedeeb259.png\")
<\/p>\n
Jor has a special mechanic. Although many enemies will appear, you need to defeat the Mercenary Cannoneer.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abec23702fc.png\")
<\/p>\n
These terminals are shielded to start.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abdd33f10c9.png\")
<\/p>\n
When you defeat waves of enemies including the Mercenary Cannoneer, red text will pop up on the screen saying the Ventilation Controller’s Shield Has Depleted.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abec666a469.png\")
<\/p>\n
When it does, you can right-click these previously-shielded terminals. The will be glowing blue and have a green arrow pointing at them.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abdf19419e1.png\")
<\/p>\n
Later in the fight, Jor has a large red circle attack all around him, get out of it, as it can hurt quite a bit.<\/p>\n

Boss 2: Takkan Russco<\/h2>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abece20f5d5.png\")
<\/p>\n
The boss is immune while the smaller enemies are out, so kill them first.<\/p>\n
Get out of the bigger orange circles called Death From Above as soon as possible, as they hurt quite a bit.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/death-from-above.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Later in the fight he will start doing purple circles – the purple circle will follow a random player, then a few seconds later drop onto the ground as a blue lightning circle to be avoided.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/unlucky-purple-circle.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nMaster Mode Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- This fight is mostly the same in Master Mode.<\/li>\n
- When fighting this boss, be spread out, so you are less likely to all get hit by the random player targeted by Death from Above, which hurts quite a bit in Master Mode.<\/li>\n
- There are no medpacs in Master Mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Boss 3: KT-55 and PR-98<\/h2>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_67abed6f0e2c2.png\")
<\/p>\n
This fight is a very simple swap between the two enemies – attack the one that does not have an orange shield circling around it. There will be red text on the screen and an audio cue when the shield swaps between KT-55 and PR-98, and you can see the orange or blue shield around the droids body to know which one you shouldn’t attack.<\/p>\n
There will be many other enemies that show up throughout the fight as well.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/technicicans-fight.jpg\")
