After leveling up on Federation toon, I'm trying to get at least one character from each faction up to 50. I started my KDF toon a couple days back, but I'm stuck at the Gates of Gre'thor mission! I finally get to the Fek'lhr, but cannot get past about 75% damage to him before I'm wiped out, and have to respawn with him at 100%.
I had a problem with the mini-boss on the boat; I was able to kill him, but one of the spirits never aggro'd on me, so it would just constantly fly around me. I figured out a work-around, where I jumped in the lake and instantly died, but waited to respawn until it followed me (the lake apparently kills npc's too).
Then I had issues with the three spirits (honorless, traitor, coward). Took me awhile but figured out if I just run around them in a circle, they had a hard time casting their fire and could wipe them out.
Now I'm absolutely stuck at the final Fek'lhr. Maybe I'm just a TRIBBLE PS4 player, but I never get past 75% health on him before he takes me out. Usually it's the fire attacks (I think he has a close one and a ranged one) that get me, especially if I try to retreat up the stairs, he casts it behind me and I'm a goner. The NPC's (my own included) are more than useless, and I don't have time to try to resuscitate them. One time Kahless did get the Fek'lhr down to about 50% health (I stepped away for a minute after respawning), but after I joined in on the fight I figured out to run around the circular rock outcroppings to prevent him from casting his fire spells, but as I continued to work him down he respawned in the center of the room with full health.
I've been unable to repeat that pattern, and trying to stick a little closer to prevent him from respawning?
Since the PS4 game is somewhat sparsely populated right now, I've been unable to get some help with the mission. Plus typing on the PS4 blows, so that doesn't help.
My question is if there is some trick I'm missing? I'm an Engineer class, and I've pretty much figured out tanking against this dude is useless, so maybe that's half my battle. I've gone out and leveled up outside of the mission, so I'm a 21 with all commander-level equipment (or the highest DPS stuff I already had). Does this guy take more damage from a bat'leth? I've tried resorting to knock-down attacks, with some success, but I simply cannot pass this mission. This is the hardest one I've come across in STO!

But yeah IIRC I used melee on him(only tried on pc).
My character Tsin'xing
You should have a Gorn Science Officer. He is your Tank in the Fek'ihr fight. Make sure he is FULLY equipped with upto scratch equipment. Ch'gren should be putting his shield generator down.
Also, something I only learnt the other day during this fight; If you die and your NPC team are still alive, hit call for help, DO NOT respawn UNLESS they have all died as well. Your NPC team can res you during the fight. Keep your distance from Fek'Ihr, and watch that AoE he drops, which is a ground fire with a radius. Its a pity there are no telegraphs in this game, which would really help in situations like this.
But yeah, don't respawn, make sure your Gorn Officer Tank and Ch'gren (engineer) is fully geared, and use call for help so they will rez you.
