[SPOILERS AHEAD if you have not played Game Update 7.8.1: Master’s Enigma]

Legacy Reborn Storyline

With the help of a traitorous ally, Darth Jadus has stolen Darth Nul’s holocron from you, the key to her masterworks involving the Force. He is on his way to Khar Shian, where Heta Kol and the Hidden Chain have reconstructed Darth Nul’s ultimate machine. Malgus and Shae Vizla are also on their way to the Sith moon, each with their own goals. With all eyes turned toward Khar Shian, you and your allies must prepare for the final showdown of Legacy of the Sith.

New type of gameplay in Legacy Reborn

The final epic confrontation on Khar Shian will have the player taking the gameplay perspectives of different characters during the final battle. Below is an example of the player fighting as Lana Beniko.

Quality of Life Updates

Companion Terminal

Starting in 7.9, the companion terminal will be disabled and all narratively unavailable companions will remain available in gameplay under a new tab: “Ineligible for Story”. This includes any companion removed through story progression (KOTFE) or through choices (killed/exiled).

Dantooine Dynamic Encounters

Updates have been made to the Intro Mission “Wreckage on Dantooine” with cleaner onboarding to content such as hazards, the ability to skip the mission on subsequent plays, and a reduction in the requirements for Zone progression.

The Orbital Core encounter will be separated from Wreckage on Dantooine allowing players to complete the story mission without defeating the final boss.

The 7.9 patch notes will contain a detailed breakdown of specifics around these changes and more.
