Star Wars Zero Company: Infinite Coil Final Mission Guide

The Infinite Reel is the point of no return in Star Wars Zero Company. Once launched, there's no changing your team: it's a series of chained battles all the way to the final boss, Fathom. Before you dive in, know that you only have three cycles to finish your side quests and build up your operators' bonds - after that, the game forces your hand.

Suffice to say it's best to arrive prepared. Here's the full breakdown, step by step.

Build your team before you go

Hawks is mandatory and must survive the entire mission. That leaves you three free slots to optimize. A little advice from experience: don't cram in all your main characters hoping for bonus content. There isn't any, aside from a few lines between fights and the usual reactions at the end of objectives.

• Cly: her unique abilities allow for area damage, invaluable when enemies pile up.
• Jae: his Final Shot automatically finishes off low-health enemies, which saves you from wasting a turn confirming a kill.
• A medic capable of instantly reviving with full health, if your Hawks doesn't have healing abilities.
• Trick or another brute-force soldier, if your Hawks can already heal himself.

Step 1: reach the security terminal

Follow the marked objective, grab the datapad along the way for bonus intel, then go through the door to trigger the first fight. The goal: get an operator to the security terminal without being interrupted.

The combo that works well: combat-jump Cly directly onto nearby enemies to deal damage on the way in, while keeping enough AP to reach the terminal in the same turn. Then use the rest of the team's turns to mop up any remaining enemies and get ahead of the next waves.

Reinforcements arrive through the doors on the left and at the top of the room. Always keep an operator near the one activating the terminal: if an enemy gets too close, the process gets interrupted, and you'll need to clear them out fast. Good news, most reinforcements are weak droids that go down in one hit - take advantage and unleash your area attacks.

Step 2: take down Tython

Once the room is secured, move forward to the turbolift leading to the command mast. Spot the large window along the way for +10 intel, not mandatory but always useful.

At the next objective, you're ambushed by Tython, Fathom's droid right hand. Objective: eliminate Tython and all his allies. Good to know: Tython himself only appears after three turns. Use that time to take down as many of his troops as possible with your area attacks, without burning through everything - you'll need it later.

Tips

Sniper droids grow stronger every turn and can deal huge damage on Typhon's orders. Prioritize them. And above all, once Tython enters the fight, don't attack it head-on unless you can tank the retaliation: every hit landed triggers a counter-attack from one of its droids.

The safer method is to keep clearing out its allies first, while gradually chipping away at its health bar if you have a medic on hand to absorb the return damage. This lets you neutralize its abilities earlier. Be careful though: the fight only ends once everyone is defeated, not just Typhon.

Step 3: The final battle against Fathom

A classic end boss, with several phases. The transition between phases triggers when Fathom reaches half health, at which point the battlefield changes.

First phase: completely ignore the Coil and put everything into Fathom, it's the only target that matters. Once she's at half health, a cutscene brings Bennic into the fight - the second phase follows the same principle, total focus on Fathom, but with one more ally in the mix.

Play it well, and you can finish off Fathom in a single turn. The combo that works: everyone hits her, Cly does a combat jump to deal damage without spending AP, and Jae is positioned to automatically trigger her Final Shot as soon as Fathom drops below the critical threshold.

The real point of attention is Hawks' positioning. Fathom can control him and force him to attack his own teammates - and if you've leveled Hawks up well, the damage can be severe. So keep him away from Fathom and the rest of the group throughout the fight. If he ends up hurting someone anyway, Bennic will be able to heal the damage once he rejoins the team.

Once Fathom is defeated, a cutscene shows her influence leaving her victims. Bennic returns to the team for good, and everyone heads back to the Den for the epilogue. Mission complete, game finished!
