Dathomir: The name alone could give your average galactic citizen a nervous twitch. It’s the kind of place where the spiders are bigger than your speeder, the locals don’t trust you, and if a rancor isn’t chasing you… you’re probably already dead. Welcome to the harsh, haunted, and hormone-powered battleground of SWG:Legends’ latest Friday Feature: Dathomir – Witches Apart.
This latest content spotlight dives deep into the mid-to-late stages of the Dathomir themepark, where your early diplomacy with either the Singing Mountain Clan or the Nightsisters takes a turn into something much more intense. If you’re the kind of player who enjoys high-stakes storytelling, group boss fights, and the chance to buy decorative banners from terrifying space witches, this is your moment.

When Witches Wage War
Once you’ve chosen a side—Nightsisters or Singing Mountain Clan—it’s not just about picking who you want to disappoint less. The real meat of this update lies in the series of escalating quests that draw you deeper into the planet’s ancient rivalries.
It starts simple: a missing clanswoman, a whispered rumor, a mutual enemy. But it doesn’t take long before you’re deep in the Shadowlands, running errands for witches who would happily sacrifice you to a rancor if it meant gaining one extra strand of spider silk.
Two major NPCs—Archwitches Aujante K’Lee and Gethzerion—act as the gatekeepers to your progress. They radiate “I’ll turn you into a toad if you sass me” energy, and they offer some of the most critical quests in the storyline. These lead you toward the dreaded SpiderQueen boss, a multi-phase nightmare that all but requires a coordinated group. Pro tip: This is not a solo stroll. Bring your crew, your buffs, and maybe your therapist.
Meet Rubina. Again.
Just when you thought you were free of tedious taskmasters, boom, there’s Rubina, back in your datapad quest log like an ex who still owes you credits. She serves as the bridge between the main archwitch quests and various side content, proving once again that in MMOs, nothing is ever truly optional.
Rancor Wrangling, Dathomir Style
In one of the most interesting branches of the storyline, you’ll team up with rancor tamers to track, sample, and eventually battle mutated beasts. This questline culminates in the Corrupted Rancor boss fight—an epic, multi-part showdown that tests not just your combat skills, but your ability to run away screaming in a dignified fashion.
Again, a group is not just suggested, it’s mandatory unless you’re secretly a Jedi Master with max buffs and a lightsaber that doubles as a defibrillator.
Questing for Goods: Spider Silk and Other Delights
The quest structure expands even further with a variety of side tasks that earn you material rewards like rancor teeth, Dathomirian amber, and the always fashionable spider silk. Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:
- Fishing & Bolma Hunting: Vhaunda (SM) and Kais (NS)
- Enemy Clan Culling: Aujante K’Lee (SM) and Gethzerion (NS)
- Herb Gathering: Telo (SM) and Satra (NS)
- Item Repairs: Sage Ha’zel (SM) and Sage N’um (NS)
- Beast Soothe Quests: Zideera (SM) and Diax (NS)
Smart players will set up camps near major quest areas to speed up the grind. Bonus points if your group rotates camps and turns the whole thing into a mobile witch-hunting party.
Clan Vendors: Unlock Rare Dathomir Loot
After you’ve proven your usefulness (and not died horribly), you’ll gain access to clan vendors who offer a range of unique Dathomir-themed items. We’re talking:
- Custom clothing sets
- Decorative banners
- Dathomirian-style houses
- Lightsaber crystals
- Powerful buff items
- Even weapons that look like something a rancor would respect
These aren’t just cosmetic fluff—they’re the real rewards for surviving the witches’ wild side.
Conclusion: Come for the Quests, Stay for the Spider Trauma
The Dathomir: Witches Apart feature adds some of the richest and most rewarding content available in SWG:Legends right now. It’s brutal, it’s atmospheric, and it hits that perfect Star Wars sweet spot of mixing lore with loot. Whether you’re aligning with the dark grace of the Nightsisters or playing Jedi errand boy for the Singing Mountain Clan, there’s a galaxy’s worth of content here that rewards effort, strategy, and a willingness to get a little weird.
So pack your buffs, prep your macros, and maybe don’t look directly at the SpiderQueen. She doesn’t like eye contact.
