Hi Guys
thanks for your comments
few points
I did kill the 2 bodyguards first, the first time i attempted this encounter they have never reappeared everytime i do it now its sylus alone.
everyfight seems to go the same initially he loses strength very slowly this manges to get down to 1/2 at the time my companion dies whereas mine is at full. i manage to get him down to v low then my defenses just seem to collapse despite medpacks and i die with him having perhaps 3% left.
i will take note of your points and try again. i dont have a guild but maybe i can get someone to help. if all else fails i will level up on alderaan and return
Thanks again
