Guide to defeating Darth Malak in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Learn strategies for the final battle, including dealing with the Star Forge's healing ability and the captive Jedi.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Malak will taunt you and unleash the Star Forge's power.
  2. 2
    Six droids will attack. They respawn after being killed.
  3. 3
    Option 1: Disable Droids: Go to each computer terminal and disable the droid generator. If you lack enough security spikes, kill a droid using the 'Destroy Droid' power (if learned) to obtain spikes from the storage bins near the computers.
  4. 4
    Option 2: Bash Door: Attack the door leading to Malak with your lightsaber to break it down.
  5. 5
    Once the droids are dealt with or the door is open, proceed through the door to face Darth Malak.
  6. 6
    Final Battle Strategy: Cast 'Force Immunity', 'Improved Energy Resistance', and 'Master Speed' at the start. Use 'Master Flurry' to attack Malak.
  7. 7
    When Malak's health is between 50-75%, he will retreat to a Jedi in a tube to heal using the Star Forge's power.
  8. 8
    After the cutscene, the captive Jedi becomes an enemy.
  9. 9
    You must defeat the 8 captive Jedi using specific force powers ('Death Field', 'Throw Lightsaber', 'Force Breach', 'Destroy Droid', 'Force Lightning') before attacking Malak again. If you don't have these powers, you will need to sustain attacks.
  10. 10
    Once all captive Jedi are defeated, you can finish off Malak.
  11. 11
    After Malak's defeat, the game concludes, leading to either a Dark Side or Light Side ending.
Tips
  • Fighting the respawning droids can grant infinite experience points (XP), but it's generally not recommended as the game caps player level at 20, which should be reached long before this point.
  • Dark Side players have an advantage with offensive force powers, while Light Side players benefit from defensive ones.
  • The strategy of casting buffs and using 'Master Flurry' is highly effective and can allow you to defeat Malak without needing medpacks or healing.
  • If you lack the specific force powers to quickly defeat the captive Jedi, focus on sustained attacks to overcome them.
