SWTOR Wreckage on Dantooine Mission Walkthrough

Wreckage on Dantooine serves as an your introduction to the new area. During it, you will explore all three biomes of the Dantooine Crash Site and complete several other missions and dynamic encounters.

How to start the mission

The Wreckage on Dantooine mission is available to all players and was released with Update 7.8. A Subscription to SWTOR is not required.

The Dantooine Crash Site map is for players of level 80. There is no level sync and if you bring a low level character, even if they are able to pick up the quest and participate, they will struggle seriously.

To start the mission, open the Galaxy Map and select Dantooine, located on the edge of Imperial Space. Choose “Crash Site Outpost” as a landing zone.

After a short intro cinematic, you will find yourself at the Research Camp, which is the starting area for this new map. You can find the Reputation Vendor in the middle of the camp.

Your Personal Comlink will pop up. Answer it. Doctor Pordav, the head researcher, is actually not far from you, in the Research Camp. Talk to him on the Comlink and then go to talk to him directly at the tents. This is the actual start of the mission Wreckage on Dantooine. You can now track it from your Mission Log as well.

Doctor Pordav will give you a briefing of the situation and introduce you to the three sections of the map, the three unique biomes where weird things are happening.

Mission Stages Explained

To upload the collected data after you complete a biome, find this terminal in the center of the local camp and interact with it.

The Glacial Biome Missions

The first camp Doctor Pordav will send you to, is the Glacial Trespass Camp, located in the Glacial Trespass biome. When you reach the camp, a short conversation will introduce you to this biome’s situation and prompt you to pick up the three available missions required to progress the main mission.

Biome Debuff:
While in the Glacial Biome, you will receive stacks of a freezing debuff while out in the open. Keep moving to lower the stacks or go to a warm place to remove them.

Cryo Hazard

This mission is given to you by Doctor Kontor. Stand on the marked spot on the map, use your Microbinoculars, and observe the blizzard.

Cold, Hard Data

This mission is given to you by Doctor Maniks. You need to scan three locations in the Glacial biome to complete it. The locations are all well marked on your map and you will not have any trouble finding them.

You do not need to engage in combat for these missions. Just stand on the marked spot on your map, and use the temporary ability that will appear on your screen to take a reading. The temp ability bar will only appear when you are at the correct spot.

Glacial Encounters

To complete this mission, look for the Dynamic Encounters in the Glacial biome. They are marked with the standard icon for Shared Dynamic Encounters, but with a pink-colored symbol at the top. The biome includes the following maps:

You don’t need to be grouped up specifically, but they are easier and faster to complete with multiple people. These Transition Encounters are just a boss fight with some environmental effects and adds spawning, speaking generally.

There really isn’t anything too special to them, except that the more people you have, the quicker the boss will fall.

Complete the Orbital Core Boss Challenge

The final stage of the main mission chain tasks you to defeat the final boss challenge. This encounter is tweaked for a full group of four players.

This is the exact same challenge that us unlocked after each of the three biomes reaches 100% at level 3. The core then is aligned and unlocked for a limited time.

To do this encounter, group up with friends, then head to the ship’s interior, to the large central area. In the round room on the east side of the map, you will find two terminals.

You can purchase some Adrenals that provide temporary buffs from the terminal to slightly boost your performance while you are on the Orbital Core.

Use the terminal in the orange circle to teleport to the final encounter area, the Orbital Core. When you arrive in the new map, you will see three doors. Pick one. The boss encounters inside offer different types of challenges.

Mission Rewards

Wreckage on Dantooine, the main mission, rewards you with the following items:

	Experience Points (below lvl cap)	Varies
	Environmental Conversion Codex	x1
	Conquest Commendations (at level cap)	x3
