Lt. Sefu Tendaji

Overview

Lt. Sefu Tendaji is a Longbow Elite Boss and possesses most of the same powers as the Ballistae.

When found in the Rescue captured Longbow soldiers mission, he will be fighting Rikti and will need to be assisted and freed from his alien captors. He will join you for the rest of the mission as an ally. Once you free him, a wave of Rikti will attack him. Being a mission objective, you need to free him, but not to escort him or even keep him alive during the whole mission.

At the mission Fight back Rikti raids, he will be fighting the Rikti raid on Overbrook dam, and will need your help. Once he's free, he'll join you. Freeing him is one of the mission's objectives.

During the mission Investigate Renegade Safe House he can be found talking to some renegade Vanguard soldiers. As soon as you have dispatched those, Sefu will join you as an Ally during the rest of the mission. He does not need to be escorted or protected.

Finally, at the mission Capture Captain Racer he will be found once again, but this time in command of a Longbow force ordered to arrest every Vanguard member, which includes you. He will attack you on sight and must be defeated.


Heroes and villains can find him:


Badge bughunter 01.png Bug! This is the same case as Captain Dietrich. During missions where he appears as an ally, Sefu is presented as an Elite Boss; He is not. During my mission, (Heroic, Solo) he had 965 hit points, above a Lieutenant of the same level, but very far from the 5350 an Elite Boss of level 50 has. His attacks, though strong, were also far of turning him into the destruction machine he should be. His bubble shields make him hard to kill, but don't think he's immortal.
Badge bughunter 01.png Bug! At the mission Fight back Rikti raids, where he joins you, he's described as an Elite Boss, but his Hit Points and attack levels are those of a Pet of the same level.
Badge bughunter 01.png Bug! During the mission Investigate Renegade Safe House he's presented as an Elite Boss, but once again, he has Pet Hit Points and attacks, so the class is wrong once again.
Badge bughunter 01.png Bug! In the Capture Captain Racer mission from Gaussian, if your character is set to the highest difficulty level, Sefu Tendaji will be at "ArchVillain/Hero" level rather than an Elite Boss (i.e. 25,000+ hit points, 800 endurance, boosted regeneration, and very powerful attacks), even though his rank is still listed as 'Elite Boss' in the mission.

Background

When Sefu Tendaji returned to his native Kenya after the Rikti war, he saw cities under siege by Arachnos-sponsored warlords while humanitarian aid was stolen by flying mercenaries. He swore a vow to set things right, and joined Longbow to fight against chaos and injustice.

Dialogue

During the Rescue captured Longbow soldiers mission from Levantera:

Once free: I thank you. Now, let us rescue the rest of my squad.

If refound: I am glad to see you again.

Ambush: Captive: Escaping!


During the Fight back Rikti raids mission from Serpent Drummer he will be trying to save the Overbrook dam from the Rikti, and will need to be rescued from them:

Lt. Sefu Tendaji: You will not hold me here long.
Chief Soldier: Long-Held Desire: Slay Ballista

(aggroed)

Lt. Sefu Tendaji: Rienforcements have arrived.

Once free: Let us throw back these invaders together!

If refound: Let us continue the fight.


During the mission Investigate Renegade Safe House from Gaussian he can be found trying to discover the whereabouts of a missing diplomat, unaware of the danger the renegade Vanguard soldiers he's talking to really are:

Lt. Sefu Tendaji: We have tracked the missing diplomat here. Is there some reason I cannot meet with him?
Vanguard Ranger: He's, uh, busy.
Lt. Ceres: Don't bother us with your petty concerns, Longbowman.

(aggroed)

Lt. Sefu Tendaji: Ah, Character! Perhaps you can help me with your fellow Vanguard?
Lt. Ceres: You've made a poor choice, Character!

Once free: What is going on? Well, you have earned my trust, so let us find the truth together.

If left behind: Character, we must stand together!

If refound: Thank you. Let us continue.


At the mission Capture Captain Racer from Gaussian he will be found again, but this time as an enemy:

At 75% Life: This is on Ms. Liberty's order. The Vanguard have gone too far!

At 50% Life: You fight well, but your cause is lost.

At 25% Life: Ms. Liberty has ordered Vanguard shut down, and Captain Dietrich will see it done.

Defeated: You won a good fight. Now let me tell you something.

After defeating a player: How did it come to this?
