Kill Night Sister Elders Easily : SWG Premium Discussions

First, get buffed and armored and go to the Dathomir Science Outpost and to the Nightsister Stronghold POI.

At the POI are two areas. There’s a fenced-in area with a big building and 4 huts and there’s a cave directly in front of it.

On my server the cave is cleared out first thing in the morning at server reset. If it’s not, kill everything in it including Axkva Min.

Find a spawn of nightsisters within 600m of the POI that has an elder in it and mark it for a waypoint. Nightsister Elders are 400K HAM and hit for as much as 3000 damage. Stand 64m away from the elder from a position where she is the closest nightsister. You want to pull her and ONLY her for this to work. Hit her with a bleed and start running towards the cave.


You want to get her in the cave and this can be a little tricky as she has to be right on your tail to figure out the pathing to get inside. It helps to move towards the fence before you go in, she tends to follow you a little better. This might sound a little confusing, but you’ll understand what I’m talking about within the first 3 times you try this.

As soon as you get inside the cave and know she’s following you inside, burst run. Swerve through the narrow entryway and stop at the end of the first open area. When she makes the turn out of the entryway you should be about 44m away or so. If you put enough distance between the two of you she will get stuck when she makes that turn. She’ll move back and forth about 5 meters but not come after you.

She didn’t get stuck? No problem.

Keep running into the cave and go all the way around until you get to the northeast corner. On the overhead map you will see a hole in the ground shaped like a Playstation controller. Kite her around this hole. She won’t catch you if you stay sharp. Normally everything in this game is faster than you are. She doesn’t catch you for 2 reasons a) her pathing code sucks and b) there is a small tree on the western short end that she has to go around and you don’t. So effectively the circle is smaller for you than it is for her. Just play keep away while you shoot her. She will change directions at times so pay attention. This is very easy to do.

After you loot her go back to the spawn you set a waypoint for and pull another. If you were to just kill everything in the spawn, each thing will respawn in 5 minutes and you will get 3-5 sets out of it. If you only pull the elder out and go into the cave she will respawn indefinitely. My record is 17. Each run takes me about 12-15 minutes. I had a run of 11 this morning and they were on flat ground only 300m away.

Also keep in mind that nightsisters, especially elders, love to eat bikes. When you agg them from 64m with a bleed their running speed is very random. Sometimes they burst run at you and other times they move slower than the old school snorbals.

If you can’t find a spawn within 600m, kill EVERYTHING in the area. Most random spawns will respawn 3-5 times before they go poof for good and eventually get replaced by something else.

I don’t know why this trick of spawning unlimited elders from one spawn works. I’ve tried pulling on out, not going in the cave and killing it toe to toe outside, 400m away from the spawn. It stopped at 4. I can consistently get more from a single spawn if I take them into the cave.

This technique has worked for me for more than 8 months, even when they had force powers. They’re supposed to get them back soon so keep in mind that she can shoot you across the short side of the hole. When they get their powers back take the turns a little wider. They can’t hit you outside of 34m with that force knockdown/debilitation combo that will end your day in 5 seconds.

I have killed more than 400 elders. I have looted about 10 +20 or better AA’s a couple of exceptional weapons and all kinds of godly dot lances with 500+ damage. Don’t expect to loot killer items after 5 elders. Put the time in, it’s well worth it in the long run.
