Tetrahc Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 How do you beat this guy, he keeps going into force storm which I can't outrun or stop... if I try to interrupt it it does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izorii Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I took a SW with me and even then it was a tough fight. Although as I am lv 48 thats kinda what I would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almalovesme Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Take Talos with you, and stay in his line of sight at all times so he can heal you. Thanaton actually isn't hard, it's just a few of his mechanics cause a bit of damage. Constantly refresh Static Barrier, and keep Jolt on hand for when he does Revivification, or whatever it's called, as that's his heal. Use Force Speed to sprint out of any AoE attacks if you're slowed, too. He has a pretty big health pool, so you'll be spending quite a bit just whittling down his health. For reference I was level 49 and spec'd as Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqualisk Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I would suggest not using a tank companion vs. the first Sith. The Force Storm just wrecks them too much since they have a habit of not moving out. It's better that you hold aggro and simply move out of the storm while a companion does dps or heals. I myself did it while healer spec so I used Xalek. I would put him on passive during force storm to get him to move out of it, but that was clunky.

Pappus Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Take a dps companion (ashara) be sure to have aggro at all times - run in circles like a mad man - you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadysketchy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I did it at 49, it took me two attempts Just try to interupt him as much as possible; use Khem Val, and Shield him whenever the debuff is up, as well as Heal him when he gets low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piree Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Just round around, he has almost no melee attacks. After like 30 sec in combat he spams force storm for like 20-30 seconds, just keep running around him and let ur healer companion Talos heal you. On Death field also run around him and on the other spells you try to interrupt him. Took me 2 tries and I wasn't very well geared at that time.

Fredbob Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I was darkness spec, did him at 49 and just stood in everything, interupted what I could and talos healed me through the rest - only thing was to knock him out of his revivicaton bubble (or pull him out of it) or you'll be healing him. Just a long fight as a tank, was never low hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PublicPwnerer Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Did the OP just write "spoiler" in the thread title, followed by the very last bosses name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqualisk Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It's hardly a spoiler at all. It's no surprise that the last boss is who he is. You're basically shown from the get go that he's your nemesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randuur Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I had no issues with him once I switched to a healer companion. Ended up being a joke of a fight after that. For note I'm a deception assassin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Xero Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 i simply paid 1000 creds for each of the other classes buffs went in with Xalek and took Thanaton out on the first try at 48, and ful heal spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leachim_Farstar Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Talos is the man for this job. I did this at lvl 46 as lightening spec. Keep Barrier up, Your dots and use a like run and gun style game play, move,cast,move,cast. save force speed for the nasty aoe. keep in range of Talo's Heals and its schimples... took me best part of 25 mins at this level though. but was an epic fight.

HagenVonTronje Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) As others have said you just need Talos. I did this at 46 with Talos in his starting gear. Xalek, Andronikos, Khem, all will not really deliver. The problem is that you will run out of force even if you're heal spec and have out a good DPS pet, he has a LOT of health and he heals himself. With Talos it's almost trivial, his DPS is surprisingly low. Stay mobile so you avoid his ground reticle AoEs and try to interrupt his force lightning. Use force shield only when you go below half health, it's very force hungry. Will take 15+ minutes most likely. PS - The droid might work too but most people haven't geared him out.

Aethyrprime Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Did it at 48 with ease. Just kite him and use your heal pet. Make sure the heal pet and you never occupy the same space or he may drop one of his big dps marks on your healer who will not move out of it till he is dead.. instead will stop healing you and just stand there self healing till it dies. I force cloaked out of the fight and tried it again but set my pet to passive till I had him standing exactly where I wanted him then put him on attack.

I ran around a lot, interrupted his heals and took his health down gradually. It was a long fight and I didn't have much health left at the end, but it was a one shot. Really fun.

mausty Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 use talos and the fight is easy, run out of that storm bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCute Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Solution for Non Healer toons = Talos Even if you havent geared up Talos from the time you got him, he can still heal you to successfully beat Thanaton. Solution for Healer Toons = cake; they can solo Thanaton even without a companion I dont understand why as an Assassin I cant beat Thanaton using Xalek. Whether Xalek DPS or Tank, we lose. If with Xalek fails, with Ashara would also fail. Melee companions wont stand a chance against Thanaton. Thats on the final fight in Korriban. But on the duel in Corellia, I dont know how me and Xalek pwned him in one try. I completed all those quests yesterday at level 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blades_of_Afro Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 i had no problem beating him. i was lvl 50 way before i got close to beating the story quest. I just had talos. he healed and i tanked so simple. y would i want to use a dps or tank anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordbishopX Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Talos = easy win and gearing him should be simple GTN/Planet comms. Just have to watch the ground and move it shows where the storm will hit and should be easy to step out of it and using jolt/electrocute channel the force makes short work of him by the way X is bugged almost better to use Khem since X shield I believe is fail. Pretty much just cant stand constantly next to him range is a must that's why a range companion like talos is win as well. Basically your gonna kite him interrupt him for easy win.
