## The Gorax Matriarch: Evacuate the Ewoks

### Find the Northern Ewok Lake Village

After assisting Jahdav Liram ( /way 39 3299 in Corellia ) in the "Helping An Old Ranger" quest, if you are experienced enough he will give you a new challenge. If he doesn't give you a new quest following the completion of the previous one, you may need to go hunting and obtain a special Badge (Killing the regular Gorax on Endor is one option, as well as possibly some other Slayer badges located on the first tab of Collections). Once Jahdav believes you're ready, he'll impart upon you a tale of how he helped a tribe of Ewoks defeat a Gorax on Endor some time ago. Unfortunately as they were celebrating his victory, the Ewok village was attacked by a much larger, more fearsome Gorax known as the Gorax Matriarch. Try as they may, they could not defeat the foe and had to evacuate the village. Jahdav now believes this Matriarch will soon rampage and destroy other villages soon, he tasks you with alerting the tribes.

Begin by heading to the Northern Ewok Lake Village located at /way 1425 -3267 Endor. Before you can enter you may need very good faction with both the Panshee and Gondula Ewok Tribes. You can obtain faction for both by killing the creatures located at the Dulok Villages, which are both POIs on Endor. Once you're able to go into the Ewok village, locate a Gondula Chief at /way 1405 -3317. If you try speaking to him, you'll notice that you cannot understand him, nor can he understand you. Jahdav will update you via comlink. He suggests you will need to communicate with him in another way or find a protocol droid to translate. Rather than obtaining a droid, try using emotes. Start with /huge, followed by /stomp, and lastly /pointr. Your quest should update. Jahdav then asks you to speak with the Panshee Chief located at the Eastern Ewok Tree Village.

\*\*\*Make sure you go right to the exact /way FIRST and then your journal will update after you talk/emote with the chief. If you don't, it won't work.

### Find the Eastern Ewok Tree Village

Head to the Eastern Ewok Tree Village located at /way 4555 -2387. You can find a Panshee Chief located at /way 4537 50 -2457 up above in the tree tops. You must alert him to the danger of the Gorax much as you did for the other Chief. Start by doing /huge, followed by /stomp, but this time to /pointl for Point Left as the Chief is facing a different direction than the previous Gondula Chief. This should update your quest briefly, with Jahdav contacting you by comlink. He requests that you help evacuate the Ewok village, so continue talking with the Panshee Chief using emotes. Begin with /point, followed by /small, and lastly /flee. This should update your quest with another call from Jahdav. It doesn't look like the Ewoks are willing to leave, so more drastic measures will be necessary. For getting to this point you will receive 142005 Experience (Level 90).

## The Gorax Matriarch: Prepare for the Attack

### Find a Trace of the Gorax

After speaking with the Panshee Chief, you will need to find a trace of the Gorax before you can move forward. Travel north from the village into the hills. At /way 5294 -2018 you'll find a rather large set of footprints that can only belong to the infamous Gorax Matriarch. With this proof you must now go back to the Ewok Tree Village you were just at and begin arming the villagers.

You will need to find two different Weapon Racks. Weapon Rack #1 can be found on the ground level of the village at /way 4610 -2407. Weapon Rack #2 can also be found on the ground level at /way 4483 -2402. Once you have the weapons, which will be several Wooden Staves in your inventory, you will need to pass them out to various Ewok villagers around the village as indicated in your quest log. There may be more than one villager of each type, and if you're doing this quest with a friend they can give a weapon to the same villagers you may have already armed. Once you've armed each of the villagers you will need to travel to three waypoints around the village: The North-West, South-West, and South-East Regions to verify they're secure. To do this travel to the waypoint and stand in place for 3 seconds. You will be awarded with 142005 Experience (Level 90) and your quest will update to the final part: The Matriarch Attack.

## Group Event - The Gorax Matriarch [Group]

### Defeat the Gorax Matriarch

Visit the Panshee Chief again at /way 4537 50 -2457 in the treetops. To summon the Gorax Matriarch make sure you group is assembled and prepared, then blow the horn near the Chief. The Gorax Matriarch will spawn below in the village. She is a CL99 Gold Elite boss with 2.1 to 2.5+ million health (varies). She can Punishing Blow for anywhere from 9-19k damage, and has a melee range of 50 meters. For that reason, it's strongly suggested that a Medic purge buffs from the boss throughout the fight, and purge any debuffs she puts on your tank. She also has a nasty AOE stun attack that will knock down all players in range for roughly 5 seconds (Stun has been removed as of September 2017). During this time you can use Officer Stims to keep your health up, but you'll be

     unable to do any other attacks or heal. It's possible that summoning the Gorax Matriach in this way puts the spawn on a timer as she has been known to despawn randomly during the fight. A static spawn of the Matriarch also roams in the mountains to the far east, usually in the area near /way 7257 -64. It is unclear if this static Matriarch will also update the quest, however she will count towards the Kill World Bosses collection and she does not seem to despawn as long as she's engaged in combat. Should you kill the Gorax Matriarch she will always drop a Gorax Ear as a reward, among other items like Ranged/Melee Augments.

When you have killed the Gorax Matriach return to the Panshee Chief and he will gift you the Ewok Horn. Return to Jahdav Liram on Corellia to turn the quest in and you will be rewarded with 1500 Panshee Faction Points, a painting of A Village Under Attack, and an Employment Terminal: Ewok Greeter. At this point Jahdav will tell you there will be another Gorax Matriarch soon, and he hints that she can be found in the Endor mountains in the east (Previous waypoint at /way 7257 -64). If she is not up at this location just kill creatures in the surrounding area and she should return. If you manage to kill the Gorax Matriarch 10 times to complete the first part of the "Kill World Bosses" Slayer collection you will also receive a Gorax Matriarch Hunting Trophy to decorate your home.

Aside from this, there are no other World Bosses at this time. Jahdav will say that he'll contact you again if you're needed in the future.
