Rewards

Influence with Qyzen

Influence with Beywan Aygo

10 Common Data Crystals

5 Glowing Data Crystals

Rank 6 Weapon Companion Gift

A Kindly Old Monster (Dr.Lokin)

Prerequisite: Acquired Qyzen as your companion. You can only have one alert from a recruiter at time so you must complete the Qyzen one for the Lokin one to show up since they are both from Beywan Aygo.

Rakghoul event must be active as you need access to the Rakghoul tunnels.

Steps

Find and Speak with Eckard Lokin

If you attack Lokin during the intiial conversation, you will get a chance to reject him as a companion at end of the mission once you return from the Sarlaac Pit.

Bring Lokin supplies until he reaches Influence Level 10 (10k influence). Agents can skip this part but will need do the Rakghoul tunnels and the rest. Anodyne Extract x24 = 300 influence Metamorphic Cell Cultures x24 = 300 influence Hemostatic Gel x20 = 300 influence Autoimmune Regulators x12 = 300 influence Rakghoul DNA Canister x1= 250 influence Exotic Plague Specimen x1 = 500 influence Barnacle of the Eyeless x1 = 4000 influence (can be only turned in once)

If you are going to the Anodyne Extract/Metamorphic Cell route, you will need 800 of them. Otherwise you will need 666 Hemostatic Gel or 400 Autoimmune Regulators or some combination. Jawa scrap vendors in the Cartel Bazaar are a good way to acquire them if you have the scraps.

Once you reach Influence rank 10 with Lokin, he will ask you to head to the Rakghoul tunnels, which is only active during the Rakghoul event (Nov 10, Dec 15 and Jan 12 are the dates of the next 3 Rakghoul events)

(Nov 10, Dec 15 and Jan 12 are the dates of the next 3 Rakghoul events) The four probes you need to deploy are located on each of the 3 maps of the rakghoul tunnels. Beware that the last map is a heroic zone and killing the rakghouls there may spawn the heroic mobs that can kill you very quickly. If someone has already deployed the probes at your location, you can just wait for them to finish and everyone gets credit for it.

After that head to the Sarlaac Pit in Tatooine, it is in the northern section of The Dune Sea. Once you deploy the probe, it will say to collect the Recovered Specimen, which isn’t there for some people. If that happens. relog to character select and log back will fix it.

Achievements

In addition to the achievement for rejecting Dr.Lokin as a companion, there are three hidden achievements for Dr.Lokin, see this guide for them.
