SWTOR: The Red Reaper (Master Mode) Solo Guide

The Red Reaper is a Flashpoint in Star Wars: The Old Republic located in the Dropship Launch Hangar on the Fleet. Soloing this Flashpoint on Master Mode, often referred to as MM RR, is a widely used strategy for farming Tech Fragments and gear for other characters.

Lord Kherus

• Run to boss when he jumps to either side.
• Interrupt Soul Drain he casts on NPCs.

SV-3 Eradicator

• Keep all pylons with 3 red and 3 blue.
  • Use a defensive ability if you are going to take a beam with 5+ of same color active.
  • If boss targets your companion, swap pylons so that color beam only has two matching. 3 matching will sometimes 1-shot your companion.
• Keep back to pillar next to middle pylon.
  • Use crowd control (CC) removal abilities after Concussion Charge.
• Vanish after boss is dead (if stealth), CC the middle mob and touch the terminal.

Darth Ikoral

• Tank boss in back of the room (opposite the entrance).
• After knockback and “Ikoral has awoken his chosen Sith” emote…
  • Toggle companion to passive.
  • Run behind each add, ensuring you and companion are both on opposite side from boss.
  • Then interrupt the add’s Ancient Terror cast, so the add soaks the boss’s lightning.
  • Once both are dead, toggle passive off on your companion and meet boss back at back of the room to continue DPSing.
  • Use a defensive or medpac if you feel like you’re getting low during this phase.
• When boss emotes “Ikoral is channeling the ancient power he has gathered!“…
  • Do a lap around the room to collect all the red orbs.
  • Meet boss at the back of the room and continue DPSing.
• Rinse / repeat these two steps until the boss dies.
• Finish off the Pureblood Sith Zealot add in the middle of the room.
• Click the terminal and congrats, all done!

Summary

• You will be able to solo Master Mode Red Reaper (MM RR) with basic 306 gear, decent mods, and a few augments. Z0-0M is your best healing option, but any rank 50 companion set to healing will do.
• As stealth, each run takes ~12 – 16 minutes.
• You will receive 300 – 400 Tech Fragments per run.
• Stims, Adrenals, and better gear will all help in making this runs faster and ultimately more efficient.
• I recommend leveling and gearing a stealth character first, as this is an excellent way of gearing other characters, optimizing mods, farming Tech Fragments, and getting some Conquest.
• Refer to my Character Progression Guide, if you need some help understanding the gear progression!
