Awesome video! One point; after Malak gains Crit Immunity, Zaalbar can only apply Armor Shred if he gets a crit on a droid. Power Blast only applies Armor Shred on a crit, so save it for when the droids are present.
I was literally about to quit this game after nearly 4 years of playing. Such was the irritation I have been experiencing with this challenge. This video prevented me from doing that. Thanks bud.
Ahnald, mate, you are a god. I was honestly about to quit this game after trying and failing at least 40 times and spending a ridiculous amount of money that I thought I had wasted. Watched this tutorial and completed it on the second try. Not all heroes wear capes.
Worth it, he’ll be one of the best characters in the game when full starred/geared/zetad and modded properly. Especially after whatever buff they’re going to put on him
40 times and ready to quit? I have tried for 12 months and only just earned dark side yesterday. Still can not get light side. A year....And yes I used this as reference.
Thanks so much, that going all offense really helped on those characters. Also letting him have certain pods helped too. Man this event was baaad though. That minimum power level entry is a step in the bad direction.
great guide. Followed the fight tactics to a T for the Lightside and finished it first attempt. I Didn't have as strong characters as yours and didn't bother with the re-modding, but had all the same zetas. Finished it with 5 armor shred on malak and overall 2 star result. The same drain you got against mission killed mine. Thanks :D
Thanks so much for this guide. I was following some reddit guides and not having any luck. Watched this vid, followed the mod setup and got it first pop using your method. Awesome. Now to spend some GET!
Same dude, same. I can’t even get passed this event. Not with this Strat, I have decent mods and still can’t get past it. May either wait and relic the necessary toons or give up all together.
Thank you, just did LS due to your guide after at least twenty attempts with all mods being the standard four speed/two tenacity setup. Tried your way and did it in under five attempts!
Yo thank you so much bro I literally watched like 10 different strategies and nothing worked then I checked out your strategy and I unlocked him second attempt, I’m definitely gonna be recommending your channel to the rest of my guild. Thanks dude I was about to go crazy on that damn LS fight.
Thank you for this guide! I really needed the mod piece to win, kept losing until I reconfigured for more damage. Appreciate you explaining "why" to do things and not just what to do.
This video has become to the go to, how to unlock Malak guide in our guild. The event is coming up again and a few guildies are asking for tips - and up goes the link to this video! Thanks Ahnold!
Thank you so much for this video.. I seriously have tried this event the entire time this go around looking up different tutorials and yours was by far the most informative and helpful. Literally got it the first try after following your pattern
Couldn’t have done it without you! That was a giant pain in the A, but I 3* the light side and breezed the dark side with your videos! Appreciate what you do! Thanks again
Thanks Ahnald, great guide, i did it without Z on mission and Zaalbar, took longer and ended with 8 armour shred but same principle. Keep up the good work!
AHHHHNALD!!! I know this video is "old" by todays standards.... But MAN!!! I spent hours and hours trying to beat this silly event... Even watching your old video I struggle bussed HARD. Came to this one, followed your battle plan to the T, and on try number, a lot, I FINALLY BEAT IT. Best feeling I've had in a loooong time lmao. Thank you so much for posting this video. For anyone else, just follow what he does. It freakin works!
Great vid bro! Beat light side on first try after watching. Didn't have Mission zeta, and Mission+BigZ barely over threshold. All about strong JKR and the right mods and strategy.
didn't realise you had all these other Malak vids thanks a lot for the link from your Twitch stream. Appreciate all the effort you put in to help the community
Took me 3 hours to beat this lol! You're video helped a lot Ahnald thank you! i had to really take my time, had 6 armor shreds and still nearly lost, kept running into an issue where droids wouldn't spawn
@@nicholasreyna2164 may have to retry a few times that’s what I did! You’ll get it! I did this and the chewie event over and over and over until I beat it!
Ahnald - I too was ready to quit on this one. I had tried every strategy I had seen from your prior video and mobilegamer to others that people had posted. I saw this video just in time to give it a few more tries last night. Mod strategy was everything - especially your recommendation of ‘this event isn’t about speed’. Seriously thanks so much.
Wow that’s so awesome! That’s kinda why I wanted to do one last guide before the vid ended in case people wanted some more depth than the first vid. You have no idea how happy I am for you! Glad you snagged Malak in the final few moments! :D
AhnaldT101 Dude I was seriously ready to call it a night when I saw your vid and gave it a few more tries with some mod changes. Honestly, my feeling finishing the LS battle wasn’t quite at your level, but damn it was close... Thanks bud. Keep up the great work! It is def appreciated.
This event was certainly a doozy for 99.9% of the playerbase...that attempted it. I think those same people went broke (both financially and mentally) just from this event alone.
I gotta say I almost lost my sanity. However, I do now have JKR, DR and Malak and did not spend one dollar and got them all F2p on the first event. That has to be a miracle.... Not really I just have a good crystal save vs spend strategy
Thank you so much! You’re guide helped out a ton! I lucked out after he stopped spamming with his drain ability, I managed to do it with all of them at G12 no zetas on big Z or mission and only two on revan.
This is by far the best strategy video for this event. I have shared it again with my guild for Malak’s return tomorrow. The modding strategy was so important here and so accurate!!
You had some good tips in these videos for Malak. I didn't 3-star either side of the event, but I was able to finish both and unlock him, which is good enough for me right now, considering I worked for a long time to build up my characters. Thanks Ahnald
I know no one will read this, but I just unlocked Malak with a g10 Zaalbar and a g11 T3M4. G12 Revan and G12 Bastilla. R2 on Jolee. The key was to armor shred the droids so they were easier to kill. I ended up putting 2 armor shreds on each droid and 4 on Malak.
Hi Ahnald just wanna say a massive thank you for this video I’ve been doing the event all day trying to get light path done watched this video once and completed finally thanks again buddy x
If you don't finish off any of the Jedi captives I think the droids will keep spawning. So you want to just focus the droids for as long as you can to get as many stacks of armor shred as you can.
I beat this opening night before strats at like 5 am. Was painful but fun and I killed all the tubes at once lol. I barely won with just Jedi left alive at the end! This video defiantly helps make it a lot easier.
Ahnald thanks for the tips I think I was beating my head against a brick wall trying to get this today. Watched your video and went back in after 23 tries and got it on my 24th.
I finally beat Malak, after hundreds of attempts, re-mod after re-mod, and viewing several how to videos. I don't have the Mission zeta so I made Zalbaar as fast as possible, used your strategy of letting Malak absorb the two Jedi on the right. I also had to put armor shred on both droids because I couldn't destroy them quick enough. Then managed 4 stacks of armor shred on Malak and still barely made it out. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the info Ahnald, this was a very informative video. It took me about 40 minutes to watch this 15 min vid though because I was writing all this down. Lol
Hey man just wanted to say thank you, I've worked my butt off for months to make sure I was ready for Malak whenever he came back and was surprised last night, but ready. Had Zetas on nearly everyone, but watched your video and after a few tries I got it. I ended up AOE-ing the tenacity up and he absorbed whatever is immediately to his left, but I was able to just out attack him, only lost Zaalbar.
Thx ahnald, followed this guide, needed 2 tries to beat the LS (put 8 armor shred on malak). The key is to keep all your abilities ready to roll - once u get the final fight started, to keep Malak under 50% HP. If u fail to keep him under 50% HP , u are in trouble.
here from the future with a warning: listen to ahnald about the mods, relics do not offset the difficulty and as soon as i changed my mods to what he recommended i beat it first try
So, I just unlocked Darth Revan yesterday and I wanted to watch a video on the Malak event. And, I have to wonder - WHO IS THIS GUY ON AHNALD'S CHANNEL????????
Thanks for the tips! This was even harder than Chewbacca to get and took a LOT of patience. My characters were slightly stronger than yours, so the timing took a lot of care, but this is the only method that worked. Scoring four armor shreds is a trickier thing than one might think.
Ahnald you legend, got the 3 stars, unfortunately couldn't do the dark side version, was too lazy/couldn't be bothered xD but I'm proud I was able to get the light side, thanks!
To this day I still think "Eh, You Do It" is the best named ability in any game. It resonates with me on a spiritual level
It seriously does. It’s become my life motto!
Agree
Lol facts indeed
Yessir
Awesome video! One point; after Malak gains Crit Immunity, Zaalbar can only apply Armor Shred if he gets a crit on a droid. Power Blast only applies Armor Shred on a crit, so save it for when the droids are present.
Yes 100% correct and thanks for adding that point here in the comments!
@sefa salamış cause the droids got critically hit. It need not be the target
I'll come back and watch this when I have the characters ready for the event 😭
It’ll be here waiting for you!
So in 2 years? Lol im barely about to get jkr
Ivan Rios I’m farming for Darth Revan before JKR.
Yeah I'm kinda farming for drevan too, almosr got carth and about to start badstilla after i finish shoretrooper and bosk.
Ivan Rios I took hk from 5 to 7 stars in no time which was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, but everyone else has abysmal drop rates:(
I was literally about to quit this game after nearly 4 years of playing. Such was the irritation I have been experiencing with this challenge. This video prevented me from doing that. Thanks bud.
its so funny watching some of your older videos, the difference between then and now is insane lol
Thank you so much dude, I've been struggling endlessly with this event. I finally beat it, only 2 star, but I'm glad I just finally passed it
Ahnald, mate, you are a god. I was honestly about to quit this game after trying and failing at least 40 times and spending a ridiculous amount of money that I thought I had wasted. Watched this tutorial and completed it on the second try. Not all heroes wear capes.
The money was still wasted lul
Worth it, he’ll be one of the best characters in the game when full starred/geared/zetad and modded properly. Especially after whatever buff they’re going to put on him
They wear Grand Admiral Uniforms!
40 times and ready to quit? I have tried for 12 months and only just earned dark side yesterday. Still can not get light side. A year....And yes I used this as reference.
@@kevinthomas5421 that's nothing. I've been trying for 3 years plus and only got dark side done 5 minutes ago. Now to gear up for light 🙃🙃
Stop wasting your time, there is already a superior character in the game. I am talking about, UroRRu’R’R’R, of course!
I just 7 started him today!! So true!
No, CUP. In your next GA stream you have to use CUP. Drinking my tea from my CUP.
I'm actually expecting a Sandpeople event.
Yup
@@rhynion I am here today, when Ahnald took CUP to relic 7... It is a monumental day in the history of the EMPIIIIREEEEE
Thanks so much, that going all offense really helped on those characters. Also letting him have certain pods helped too. Man this event was baaad though. That minimum power level entry is a step in the bad direction.
I’m all offensive and still don’t do good enough damage to defeat the droids in a timely manner to keep him below even 20 stacks.
Just wanted to say thanks. Was having trouble with this and followed your guide to finish it with one try.
great guide. Followed the fight tactics to a T for the Lightside and finished it first attempt.
I Didn't have as strong characters as yours and didn't bother with the re-modding, but had all the same zetas.
Finished it with 5 armor shred on malak and overall 2 star result. The same drain you got against mission killed mine.
Thanks :D
So you had them all for speed?
Thanks so much for this guide. I was following some reddit guides and not having any luck. Watched this vid, followed the mod setup and got it first pop using your method. Awesome. Now to spend some GET!
Coming back to this video now as I just got JKR. This is perfect information. Good video
Watches vid in April. Waits for Malak to return. Malak returns. Tries event without watching vid. Gets spanked. Watches vid. Tries event again. Gets spanked anyway....
Same dude, same. I can’t even get passed this event. Not with this Strat, I have decent mods and still can’t get past it. May either wait and relic the necessary toons or give up all together.
Thank you, just did LS due to your guide after at least twenty attempts with all mods being the standard four speed/two tenacity setup. Tried your way and did it in under five attempts!
Just used this and finally got my Malak! Thank you for the guides, Grand Admiral!
Yo thank you so much bro I literally watched like 10 different strategies and nothing worked then I checked out your strategy and I unlocked him second attempt, I’m definitely gonna be recommending your channel to the rest of my guild. Thanks dude I was about to go crazy on that damn LS fight.
Thank you for this guide! I really needed the mod piece to win, kept losing until I reconfigured for more damage. Appreciate you explaining "why" to do things and not just what to do.
Ahnald, you ar the best. I just need to see the tip about revan's mods and my trouble was solved. Thankyou. May the force be with you !
Thanks for this video Ahnald. It helped me crack the light side in couple of attempts..!!
I ended up 2 Staring light Side under Geared with this guides help. Thanks!
This event has gotten significantly harder ever since this video has come out
Thank you so much. To win I had to take out the three tanks, except for the crit/def one.
Just got my Malak today. Thanks for the guidance, Ahnald!
Thank you,thank you,thank you....excellent video did everything and beat him first time with your advice ,been trying a long time

Ahnald you are a master! i spent 4+ hours getting nowhere and after watching this video I 2 starred it in 3 tries. Thanks for the shiny new Malak!
Couldn’t have done it without you! That was a giant pain in the A, but I 3* the light side and breezed the dark side with your videos! Appreciate what you do! Thanks again
Thanks Ahnald, great guide, i did it without Z on mission and Zaalbar, took longer and ended with 8 armour shred but same principle.

I have managed to get exactly 0 shards for Malak- yay me
Ben Scott I got ten for the 5 year anniversary
Wertul5000 Congrates. I have unlocked him and have him maxed. act the time of the comment though, i had none... unsure what you where trying to prove
Ben Scott i am trying to do the battle but my characters aren’t good enough😑
PebblePlays I don’t have a single legendary my best squad is a Grevious droid squad
Same
Took me 3 hours to beat this lol! You're video helped a lot Ahnald thank you! i had to really take my time, had 6 armor shreds and still nearly lost, kept running into an issue where droids wouldn't spawn
THATS HAPPENING WITH ME😭 they’re supposed to stop spawning after he sucks a stasis chamber, but for me he hasn’t sucked any and they just stop coming.
@@nicholasreyna2164 may have to retry a few times that’s what I did! You’ll get it! I did this and the chewie event over and over and over until I beat it!

It has been nearly two years but i finally qualify for the requisites to do this event. I have returned for this very informative guide.....
This event was certainly a doozy for 99.9% of the playerbase...that attempted it. I think those same people went broke (both financially and mentally) just from this event alone.
It has certainly broken something within me. Just can't stop him bouncing between yellow and green health. The rage.._
I gotta say I almost lost my sanity. However, I do now have JKR, DR and Malak and did not spend one dollar and got them all F2p on the first event. That has to be a miracle.... Not really I just have a good crystal save vs spend strategy
Me too Ken, i was real proud of myself for pulling this off for free. Solid arena shard chats were a big help
I can confirm this
It made me angrily do laundry
Thank you so much! You’re guide helped out a ton! I lucked out after he stopped spamming with his drain ability, I managed to do it with all of them at G12 no zetas on big Z or mission and only two on revan.
The hardest part to this event is unlocking the 2 legendary characters needed then gearing 10 characters to G12.
Or is it the extra time at work required to earn the money needed to do that 🧐
"Hardest"
@@HighLanderPonyYT expensive
Even getting the characters to 7 stars.
@@HighLanderPonyYT He said hardest...
Thank you for the updated guide, remoding with your advice was what i needed to get me through with only a few hours to spare
Thanks Ahnaldt! This was very helpful! Thanks for all you work on everything!
This is by far the best strategy video for this event. I have shared it again with my guild for Malak’s return tomorrow. The modding strategy was so important here and so accurate!!
Myself and 2 guildmates just used this video to all get Malak. Took us all 3 tries each. Awesome video. Thank you.
Thanks to your guide, it took me just 2 attempts to complete light side path :) DZIĘKUJĘ PAN AHNALD!
Really appreciate your video! Totally helped me get Malak this time around at almost the last minute.
Thanks man, with your help I got it on the 4th try.
This guide is great. Was stuck for a lil bit. Watched it. Went back and passed it first try. Thank you.
Coming back a year later to finally get Malak, thanks Ahnald!
I cannot tell you how many times I went through this video...
Thank you Ahnald! Got my Malak yesterday. The Dark Side was my challenge but I was very low geared.
You had some good tips in these videos for Malak. I didn't 3-star either side of the event, but I was able to finish both and unlock him, which is good enough for me right now, considering I worked for a long time to build up my characters. Thanks Ahnald
Holy crap, KOTOR was easier than this.
KOTOR had a difficulty slider though
Facts lol
And a whole lot more fun
Thanks a lot Ahnald - This vid gave me me the missing idea/ edge to beat that event (with T3) some minutes ago.
YES! Perfect glad you found it helpful!! :D
Just got Malak!!!!!! Thanks so much. these vids are really helpful!
The tip on calling Zalbaar to assist just got me Malak, I thank you so much for that
I know no one will read this, but I just unlocked Malak with a g10 Zaalbar and a g11 T3M4. G12 Revan and G12 Bastilla. R2 on Jolee. The key was to armor shred the droids so they were easier to kill. I ended up putting 2 armor shreds on each droid and 4 on Malak.
Hi Ahnald just wanna say a massive thank you for this video I’ve been doing the event all day trying to get light path done watched this video once and completed finally thanks again buddy x
I'm looking back at this video because I can now do Malaks event after God knows how many years. But the light side path is seriously tough.
Just finished the light side because of the video, off to the dark side. Thank you.
Just got Malak, thanks Ahnald, this breakdown was much needed. I was able to dunk on him with Darth Revan really quick.
Thanks a lot Ahnald, I just unlocked Malak after watched your amazing video. You're the best.
What causes the droids to stop spawning? After a few rounds of killing them they won't spawn and so I cant keep his stacks down
CG changed it cause they're a-holes
I have the same issue!! They stop spawning and I can’t keep malak stacks low. Have you been able to beat the event?
If you don't finish off any of the Jedi captives I think the droids will keep spawning. So you want to just focus the droids for as long as you can to get as many stacks of armor shred as you can.
This challenge is literally impossible now, got all the heroes at 21k+ (Revan at 28.5 and bastilla at 24k) and i still cant beat this
@@Snizzyyy I beat it with R3 Revan and R2 Jolee
I beat this opening night before strats at like 5 am. Was painful but fun and I killed all the tubes at once lol. I barely won with just Jedi left alive at the end! This video defiantly helps make it a lot easier.
Who else coming back to see Ahnald’s video in preparation for the event tomorrow coming back. 👍
Just passing by for today’s Malak event, nice guide, thank you!
After all these years, I have them all
Thank you so much for these videos it really help me get Darth Malak. FYI I just got him minutes ago. Thanks.
Ahnald thanks for the tips I think I was beating my head against a brick wall trying to get this today. Watched your video and went back in after 23 tries and got it on my 24th.
Ahnold! Thanks for your strategy video here. I managed to get 3* on the light side thanks to your help. :)
This helped me somehow beat this, thanks!!! Very good strategy and help understanding the different nuances of event.
I finally beat Malak, after hundreds of attempts, re-mod after re-mod, and viewing several how to videos.

Coming back to this video for the 3rd time for my third account. I always forget how to do it lol
I can finally use this yay
Thanks for the info Ahnald, this was a very informative video. It took me about 40 minutes to watch this 15 min vid though because I was writing all this down. Lol
Hey man just wanted to say thank you, I've worked my butt off for months to make sure I was ready for Malak whenever he came back and was surprised last night, but ready. Had Zetas on nearly everyone, but watched your video and after a few tries I got it. I ended up AOE-ing the tenacity up and he absorbed whatever is immediately to his left, but I was able to just out attack him, only lost Zaalbar.

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. Managed to beat it on the 2nd try with your guide.
Thanks for the video, made it smooth!
Thanks to you Ahnald, this damn light side is done ^^
I FINALLY got Malak today, just before the event ended 😓. Thank you AhnaldT101! This video was instrumental in my win!
This made my life so much easier, I have it two tries, watched your video, and bam, first try. Easily defeat him
Thank you for this. Only took me one attempt and only remodded zalbaar
Sweet! Really happy this helped you out! Enjoy your Malak!
Thanks for the advice, never could have done it without your video
This video saved me.. almost gave up on the unbelievably difficult event. Great content as usual thank you so much for this.
Dude that’s awesome!! Glad this helped you cross the finish line! :D Congrats!
Going for Darth Malak today! Thanks for the video!
Nice! Hope you get him soon!
AhnaldT101 Update! I got em! Had to replace Revan Taylor’s juicy speed mods for some offense. Long Live the !
So, I just unlocked Darth Revan yesterday and I wanted to watch a video on the Malak event. And, I have to wonder - WHO IS THIS GUY ON AHNALD'S CHANNEL????????
Schooling off you helped me unlock MALAK! Thanks so much.
Hey I watch all your videos man and I love them like many other people. Keep it up bro 💚💚
Thanks so much! Means a lot to know that :)
This is huge thanks man!
Super helpful.
Thanks for the tips! This was even harder than Chewbacca to get and took a LOT of patience.
My characters were slightly stronger than yours, so the timing took a lot of care, but this is the only method that worked.
Scoring four armor shreds is a trickier thing than one might think.
Ahnald you legend, got the 3 stars, unfortunately couldn't do the dark side version, was too lazy/couldn't be bothered xD but I'm proud I was able to get the light side, thanks!
Could you test Darth Revan in the sith raid?
Got a problem, most of the time the droids stop popping up is this a known issue?
Ahnald you are the man. This worked like a charm
Thanks a lot Ahnald!! Got my Malak thanks to your guide :)
Your mods advice is what help me beat the event
