The Smoke Bomb Compressor is on the north side of Boulder Forest on Toshara, near the Imperial base. Follow the marker until you see a cave entrance on the left side of the road. Head inside the cave using the booster on your speeder.

Grapple up the cliff and follow the path on the left side. Be mindful of the wind currents, as they can knock you down from the cliffs. Keep following the path until you reach a door with non-stop wind currents. On the right side, there’s a generator. Use the Ion mode on your blaster to turn it on and stop the wind currents. You can hide behind the middle rock, then shoot the generator again to go through.

Inside, there’s another generator to control the wind currents and two levers on the left side. Get to the levers and use Nix to hold one while you hold the other. Go through the doors and use the elevator at the end of the room. On your way out, you’ll find a box with the Smoke Bomb Compressor.

TIP: Door bug

There’s a bug if you pull both levers, making the door close instead of opening. In that case, just reload the last autosave and try again.
