Lord Nyax

Lord Nyax is the dungeon-style heroic instance hidden below the streets of Coronet on Corellia. Lord Nyax himself is the cybernetic dark-side Force-user from Star Wars Legends — pulled into SWG as the final boss of a multi-level subterranean dungeon. The instance predates the Chapter 7 Aurilia heroic system but is universally listed as heroic group content.

The fight

The fight is a subterranean dungeon beneath Coronet, the Corellia capital. Recommended combat level is 80+. Faction is irrelevant. Restoration’s recommended group size is eight. The dungeon predates the Chapter 7 lockout convention — it is open POI content, and a clean clear typically runs 90–120 minutes.

How to start

Travel to Coronet on Corellia and find the dungeon entrance below the city. There is no formal pre-quest gate — entry is at the dungeon door, and groups self-organize.

Group composition

Lord Nyax favors Force-resistant compositions because the boss and several of his followers wield dark-side abilities:

• 1–2 tanks: a Jedi tank — particularly a dark-side Jedi with high Force resistance — is canonical. A Pikeman can substitute for the trash pulls.
• 2 healers: Medic and Combat Medic, since the run includes sustained group-wide damage from Lord Nyax’s Force-throw cycles.
• 3–5 DPS: a mixed roster — Rifleman, Pistoleer, Carbineer, Commando, Bounty Hunter — works. Bounty Hunter is particularly thematic since Nyax is canonically hunted by the Empire’s BH network.
• Buff support: an Entertainer (Dancer or Musician) pre-buffs. The boss deals mixed damage; weight buffs toward kinetic and energy mitigation evenly.

Strategy

The dungeon is a multi-level descent leading to Nyax’s chamber:

• Upper levels: cybernetic guards and lesser dark-side cultists. Methodical clears; do not pull multiple rooms together.
• Mid levels: named lieutenants buff trash; kill lieutenants first.
• Lower levels: dark-side adepts cast Force abilities at range; interrupt their casts on cycle.
• Lord Nyax’s chamber: the boss fights with a combination of melee, Force-throw, and summoned reinforcements. Tanks must trade cooldowns; the rest of the group nukes summoned adds before they pile up.

Exact mechanics vary by patch — verify in-game.

Rewards

Lord Nyax drops dungeon-tier loot including dark-side cosmetic gear, weapon ornaments, and rare schematic shards. The instance is not part of the formal Aurilia token rotation but is regularly farmed for its unique cosmetic drops. Specific loot tables are not multi-source attested in detail — verify in-game.
