SWTOR Dromund Kaas Dynamic Encounters and All Achievements Guide

We’ve got lists of all Dromund Kaas Dynamic Encounters and rewards and tips for how to get every single Dromund Kaas Dynamic Encounter achievement.

What are Dynamic Encounters?

Dynamic Encounters are short planetary mission in SWTOR that you can stumble upon while you’re out questing. Everyone can see all currently available Dynamic Encounters on all maps, and anyone can complete them, though they’re only available for a set time. As old events expire, new ones become available.

Progress Sharing Explained

The vast majority of Dynamic Encounters have Group Shared progression. If you’re in a group doing that Encounter together, progress is shared within the group. Otherwise, it’s an individual mission.

Encounter Shared means that progress is shared across everyone in the vicinity of the Dynamic Encounter. These are less common and have multiple stages.

Objective Types

Each Dynamic Encounter falls into 1 of 5 categories in terms of what type of gameplay objectives you’ll need to satisfy to complete said encounter: Combat, Clicking, Hybrid, Champion, Battle. Those are not official terms, but they are mostly recognized through dileniations in the achievements.

Notable Dynamic Encounters on Dromund Kaas

These Dynamic Encounters are either a bit tricker than average or offer some sort of unique reward. Bolded entries are not necessarily on this list.

Powder Keg

Apparently the Republic is backing the slave rebellion at the Unfinished Colossus and are helping them bring down the whole structure. Your job is to stop it, though you can fail if you don’t manage to complete all objectives in the time alotted.

There’s a repulsorcart full of explosives flanked by a pair of stealthed Ordnance Technicians who are escorting the ordnance towards the tower. Kill the stealthed enemies to halt its progress, though they will respawn.

The final objective to disarm the bomb will pop up on your temporary ability bar when you’re standing near the repulsorcart.

Ritual Killing

There’s a Sith ritual taking place outside the Dark Temple and it’s your job to disrupt it. If you let the Ritual Master sacrifice all of his Venerous Cultists while he’s fully empowered by all 8 souls, you’ll get an achievement that comes with a deco, the Ancient Kaas Sarcophagus.

Spy Den Sweep

Spy Den Sweep is not challenging; it’s simply a fantastic, well-executed idea. A group of Republic SIS agents have infiltrated Dromund Kaas and it’s your job to ruin them. They did an excellent job staging it, and the camouflage tents look absolutely perfect.

Strangely, you do not get the Broadcast Tower deco from this encounter, and those amazing camo tents are not available as decos.

Dromund Kaas Dynamic Encounter Achievements

Despite existing on planets, Dynamic Encounter achievements are listed under their own category rather than as a new subcategory on each planet in the Location section. On each planet, you get an achievement for doing the following:

• Completing each Dynamic Encounter for the first time
• Completing all Dynamic Encounters in each region
• Completing all Dynamic Encounters across the planet
• Completing number 10 ▶ 25 ▶ 50 ▶ 75 Dynamic Encounters on a given planet

Once you get all of these achievements on a given planet, you get the meta-achievement that comes with a mount that can carry a minipet of your choosing.

Many Dynamic Encounters also have individual achievements associated with them, some of which are hidden. Below, we have tips on how to complete each encounter-specific achievement and reworded their objectives so you know what you have to do.

Dromund Kaas features 6 encounter-specific achievements spread across the Dark Temple, Kaas City, and the Dromund Kaas Spaceport. There are no secret achievements on the planet.

Echoes in the Stone

The Possessed are trying to bring back a giant Sith obelisk during the encounter “Assault of the Possessed: Outpost Warden”, though the method they use to transport it is unclear. Regardless, stand by it for 10s to get the achievement Echoes in the Stone.

Sacrificed in Vain

You get Sacrificed in Vain for defeating the Ritual Master during the encounter Ritual Killing after all 8 of his Venerous Cultists have sacrificed themselves to empower him.

Once you click each of the stones, you have the opportunity to target and kill each of the Venerous Cultists while they walk over to the Ritual Master. If they reach him, they die immediately and the Ritual Master gains a stack of the buff. Let all of them walk over.

Speedy Systems Specialist

The second step of the encounter “Rogue Droid Uprising” requires you to interact with the Data Chip Analyzer. You get the Speedy Systems Specialist achievement for interacting with the console within 15s of it appearing.

The Data Chip Analyzer is located near the northern staircase and a strong (silver) enemy is usually guarding it and it has to respawn after being used.

Kill the droid guarding it and make sure the console is there before looting the final Data Chip, then go click it immediately.

Stunning Display

Stunning Display just requires you to stun 50 enemies with the EMP Grenades provided by the Empire during the encounter “Droid Assault: Kaas City”.

Target Acquired

Target Acquired requires you to find the Fugitive Bounty Hunter during the encounter “Hard Target” on your first try. During the final phase where you’re going up to shady characters with the transponder, you have to luck out and have the Fugitive Bounty Hunter appear on the first one. It’s random.

Monkey Business Maintenance

Monkey Business Maintenance just requires you to repair 50 objects damaged by the Monkey-Lizard’s flamethrower spree during the encounter “Bad Monkey”, so you’ll have to do the encounter a few times to get it done.

All Dromund Kaas Dynamic Encounter Unique Rewards

There are 5 rewards that you can only get for completing Dynamic Encounters on Dromund Kaas.

Kaas Leisure Cruiser (Mount)

You receive the Kaas Leisure Cruiser for completing Encounter Mastery: Dromund Kaas, which you receive after completing each unique Dynamic Encounter and 75 total Dynamic Encounters on Dromund Kaas.

The speeder features a carriage for your active ground-based minipet.

Ancient Kaas Sarcophagus (Deco)

You unlock the Ancient Kaas Sarcophagus, a Civic – Sculptures deco that fits on Large hooks, by completing the achievement “Sacrificed in Vain”.

Tri-Tip Mining Drill (Deco)

You can theoretically get the Tri-Tip Mining Steak Drill, a Technological – Machines deco that fits on Starship hooks, from the encounter “Purging the Cursed”, though I have yet to see it myself.

Broadcast Tower (Deco)

You can loot the Broadcast Tower, a Technological – Machines deco that fits on Starship hooks, from the Dissident Leader in Kaas City during the encounter “Power to Truth”. It may also drop from regular Dissident Insurgents, but the drop rate is far lower.

Monkey-Lizard Cage (Deco)

You can loot the Monkey-Lizard Cage, a Containers – Crates deco that fits on Large hooks, from the Escaped Krakjya during the encounter Bad Monkey.
