Requirements to Unlock
To unlock Fighting Power With Knowledge, first you need to complete Chapter IX from Knights of the Fallen Empire. Then you need to complete To Find a Findsman. You receive this optional mission automatically while you are doing Chapter IX.
Open your Companioins and Contacts window and at the top, under Alerts, you should see a new one from Dr. Oggurobb.
Use the Travel to Alert Location button at the bottom of the window to start the Alert. It will start the mission and move it to your mission log, under the Alliance tag.
Mission Walkthrough
The mission will drop you at the Training Grounds area on Yavin 4. Head a few steps north to the tent where you will find Talos Drellik.
Talos Drellik is one of the classic Sith Inquisitor companions from the origin story.
If you are playing this mission with a Sith Inquisitor’s origin story in your background, Talos will recognize you as soon as you meet him on Yavin. This is the reunion for your character with him since the events of Knights of the Fallen Empire Chapter III.
Talos will need your help recovering artifacts scattered all across Yavin 4. You will encounter combat during this adventure, though nothing serious. You have to bring Talos along with you as an active companion during this mission.
Recover Artifacts from Site 1
The first location you will visit, is in the Prowler’s Trail region’s bottom right corner. The artifacts are on a mini stone island right in the middle of the lake, in front of the waterfalls.
Recover Artifacts from Site 2
The second location is behind the Massassi Village in the Temple Ruins region of Yavin 4. This is where one of the Yavin’s Daily missions takes place (Hunters Hunted). Once again, you are looking for glowing small objects on a stone platform.
Recover Artifacts from Site 3
The single artifact from Site 3 is on the ground, next to an Elite Massassi Crusher, in the middle of the grass area below the stone steps in front of the temple in the Temple Grounds region.
Recover Artifacts from Site 4
The fourth site is in the top right corner of the Temple Grounds area, inside the dark forest. You have to break the four chains of this sarcophagus and loot the items inside.
After each chain, a wave of Massassi will spawn to protect the site, with the final wave including a Massassi Elder Champion.
Recover Artifacts from Site 5
The final fifth site is in the top part of the Training Grounds area. It’s on an elevated ground. To access, climb from the left side as you face the ridge.
Head further into the forest past the ridge and look for a stone altar where a small coffer and a datacron will be waiting for you to pick them up.
Return to Talos’ Base Camp
After you have collected the artifacts from all five sites, return back to the tent where you first met Talos. Talk to him. He will thank you.
Return to Doctor Oggurobb
The final objective for this mission is to report back to Doctor Oggurobb back on Odessen. You can use the Galaxy Map to travel to Odessen’s Landing area. From there, either head to the Alliance Camps, or open Doctor Oggurobb’s profile in the Companions and Contacts window and use the “travel to contact” button.
Rewards
The rewards from this mission are along the lines of what you get from every other Alliance Alert in SWTOR. You get Talos Drellik as a companion. You can use him in combat scenarios or as a crafter.
The mission’s rewards also include the usual Experience (if you are not level cap yet), Influence with Talos, Credits, Companion Gift and 2x Locked Supply Crate: Alien Research.
