Destroyer of Worlds is an Uprising in Star Wars the Old Republic available to all players at level 10+. Players must liberate Makeb from cultists worshipping a creature known only as Gethul.

How to Play Uprisings

Uprisings are smaller, ‘arcade’ style Flashpoints (dungeons) in SWTOR that can be played by anyone level 10 or above. Unlike Flashpoints, Uprisings ONLY contain enemies and boss encounters, as they have no story cutscenes or dialogue.
Most Uprisings take between 10-15 minutes to complete and can be difficult to play Solo. Duo or Group play is recommended for Story and Veteran difficulty while Master Mode Difficulty requires a Group of 4 level 80 players.

There are Two different ways to play Uprisings in SWTOR:
1. You can queue Uprisings in the Group Tab of the Activities Window (Ctrl + G default).
2. You can manually enter an Uprising solo or with a group by finding the Hologram Table next to the Heroic Computer in the Combat section of Fleet, choosing an Uprising and then clicking the Uprising Transport button in your mission log (pictured above).

Uprisings are a feature of Galactic Season 8 – Rising Powers in SWTOR, to see all information regarding Uprisings in GS8, read this guide:

Difficulties

Uprisings are available to all players above level 10 in THREE difficulties on the Fleet as well as through Groupfinder:

Story – Available through Groupfinder to all players level 10+.
Despite being named [Story] difficulty, Story Uprisings can be beaten in a Group of 2 players and 1 Healing Companion.

Veteran – Available to all players level 70+. The only major difference between [Story] and [Veteran] Uprisings is the amount of Health and Damage that each boss has.
Veteran Uprisings can be beaten in a Group of 2 players and 2 Healing Companions however 4 players is recommended.

Master – Should only be attempted by highly geared Level 80 players and requires a full group (1 Tank, 2 DPS, 1 Healer). All enemies in [Master] difficulty Uprisings are far more dangerous then their Veteran difficulty counterparts.

Power Ups

Players can find bright blue crates inside every single Uprising. Each of these Blue Crates contain 1 of 3 random Power Ups that players can use to help them defeat enemies faster.

There are 3 random Power-Ups that can be given to you when you open a Crate inside an Uprising, Power Ups spawn on your Temporary Hotbar and have 2 uses before they run out.
Rocket – The Rocket should be used on enemies with a Gold Star difficulty or enemies in a close group.
Grenade – The Grenade knocks enemies over and sets them on fire for a few seconds. It should be used on large groups of enemies.
Stimpack – The stimpack temporarily boosts ONE of your classes abilities with no penalty or cooldown. I suggest saving this Boost to use on Boss battles only.

Destroyer of Worlds Uprising

When you first spawn inside the Uprising: Destroyer of Worlds, you will be very far away from the first boss. You must kill every enemy you see as well as escort a Probe Droid through the entire level.

You cannot use Stealth to Skip enemies inside Uprisings!

Make sure to kill each enemy group slowly and focus on any enemies that attack the Probe Droid first. Keep following the pathways through each room until you reach the first boss.

Note: If you are playing the Destroyer of Worlds Uprising in Master Difficulty and cannot beat the large ambush after you first summon the Probe Droid, you will not be able to beat the Uprising in later sections. If you or your team are struggling against the regular enemies I suggest playing on an easier difficulty.

Escort the D-5X Probe Droid

D-5X is the First Encounter in the Uprising. You must keep D-5X ‘alive’ throughout the Uprising until the end. If D-5X dies then you can loot the blue-highlighted toolboxes around the level to repair D-5X.

If D-5X dies and there are no more toolboxes remaining, you will have to exit and restart the Uprising.

Tips:

• Have the Group run ahead while D-5X is spawning, this way you can go ahead and kill a majority of the enemies that will try to destroy D-5X.
• Healers can AOE heal or bounce HOT heals such as Sorcerer’s Roaming Mend to D-5X.

Whsipers in the Dark (Bonus)

Chief Engineer Penzaren

Chief Engineer Penzaren is the first Boss in the Uprising. He is easy to defeat but takes a long time to defeat as you have to wait for his shield to despawn before he takes damage.

There are two Kolto Stations you can use to heal your group in Story and Veteran Mode difficulty.
Always focus on attacking the droids first.

Mechanics:

• Avoid standing in any Red Circles on the floor.
• Kill all adds when they spawn.
• Eventually Penzaren’s shield will despawn and you can kill him.

Master Mode Tactics:

• The Mechanics are the same in Master Mode but they do more damage.
• Penzaren will occasionally ‘silence’ a player will the Neural Scramble ability.
• To save a silenced player, you must run to the computer in the above image and click the glowing blue button, then target the silenced player and click the special ability on your temporary hotbar.

Once you have defeated Chief Engineer Penzaren, click on D-5X to reactivate them and continue further into the Uprising.

Skurr and Velloc

Skurr and Velloc is a two-part Boss in the Uprising. You must defeat both of them.
There are four Kolto Stations within the Boss Room you can use in Story and Veteran Difficulty to recover Hitpoints if you are low, However the Kolto Stations are also shared for the Bonus Boss (if you choose to complete the Bonus)!

Make sure to defeat them at the same time! If you defeat one and the other is still alive after 10 seconds, they will repsawn and you will have to do the boss fight again.

Mechanics:

• Avoid all Red Circles on the ground and focus killing both of them evenly.
• Do not run away otherwise the Boss Fight will restart.
• Kill both of them within 10 seconds of each other or the fight will restart.

Master Mode Tactics:

• Master Only: Avoid the red circles that spawn on the floor!
• In Master Mode, do your best to avoid Velloc’s red cone attack. As it deals a lot of damage. Does not hurt much in Story or Veteran Mode.
• Conserve Kolto stations for use on the Bonus Boss!

Caller in the Dark Bonus Boss

Caller in the Dark is an optional Bonus Boss in the Uprising. Once you have collected all 6 Dark Relics, stand inside the Purple Energy where you defeated Skurr and Velloc to spawn the Caller in the Dark!

Mechanics:

• Have DPS attack the Void Whispers as quickly as possible.
• Once you spawn the Caller in the Dark, you cannot progress the Uprising until it is defeated.
  This means you can potentially softlock the Uprising if you are not capable of defeating the boss.

Master Mode Tactics:

• The boss constantly regenerates HP during the fight, if your DPS and Tanks are unable to hurt the boss before it recovers you may not be able to defeat the boss.

Jedi Master Adelade

Jedi Master Adelade is the Final Boss in the Uprising. You must keep D-5X alive all the way to the end of the Uprising before you can attack Adelade.

Make sure your group is close before you attack the boss, as Adelade will create a large white circle around themself and anyone outside will be locked out of the Boss battle.

Mechanics:

• The most important damage to avoid is the giant yellow cone.
• Do your best to also avoid the black shadow clouds on the floor and all purple circles!

Master Mode Tactics:

• There are no Kolto stations in Master Mode, all boss AOE’s hurt a lot more!

Once you have escorted D-5X to destroy Gethul, loot the Reward Drop Rocket before you leave the Uprising!
