Learn how to kill droids faster with specific Force powers and grenades in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and trigger companion conversations.

  • Access to party members T3-M4, Canderous, Zaalbar, Mission, and Jolee.
  • Access to the Ebon Hawk's cargo hold.
  • Access to Tatooine, Dune Sea, and the Black Vulkar base.
  • Obtain Sharina's wraid plate and a hunting license on Tatooine.
  • Defeat the twi'lek and bodyguard in the Black Vulkar base.
  • Complete the "Finding Dustil" quest.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Droid Combat: Use Power: Stun Droid for light players, Force Storm for dark players, and Ion Grenades for all players to defeat droids faster.
  2. 2
    Grenade Crafting: On Tatooine, place all grenades in a cargo hold container. Talk to Zaalbar to craft different kinds of grenades, excluding plasma grenades and thermal detonators.
  3. 3
    Stimulant Crafting: Place all adrenal stimulants in a cargo hold container. Talk to Canderous to craft adrenal stimulants. These are valuable for light players fighting Malak with a lightsaber.
  4. 4
    Security Spike Crafting: Talk to Mission to craft security spikes for opening doors, though bashing through is also an option.
  5. 5
    Life Support Pack Crafting: Once you get Jolee, place all life support packs in a container. Jolee can craft life support packs, but will only make about 3 before requiring the packs to be placed in the container again.
  6. 6
    Selling Items: Ask party members to craft items, then sell them for credits.
  7. 7
    Wraid Plate Sale: On Tatooine, after obtaining Sharina's wraid plate and a hunting license, sell the plate to Fazza in his office for 500 credits.
  8. 8
    Dune Sea Hunting: In the Dune Sea, hunt desert wraids, loot their remains for a bone plate, and sell it to Fazza for credits. Be aware that some wraids are named "Hulak Wraid" and can be tougher. Fighting wraids while sand people are also attacking can be extremely difficult.
  9. 9
    Black Vulkar Base Twi'lek: To defeat the twi'lek and its bodyguard in the Black Vulkar base, raid the docking bay and pool for plasma grenades. Use the 'x' button when "Enemy Sighted!" appears. Have your character throw two plasma grenades, and have Mission and Zaalbar each throw one plasma grenade at the twi'lek. The bodyguard will also be affected.
  10. 10
    Sand People Encounters: Sand people in the Dune Sea can be very tough, especially if a party member is down. They consist of two elite warriors and one holy warrior. If you wish to avoid them, go straight to the sandcrawler. If you want to encounter them, pick a dune and walk; they will find you. Choosing a peaceful solution with the sand people will prevent them from attacking you.
  11. 11
    Bastila Conversations: Two additional Bastila conversations can be found before the end of Kashyyyk. Bastila 14 occurs inside the Ebon Hawk after landing on Kashyyyk for the first time, discussing readiness, feelings, and Malak, completing the "Bastilla" quest. Bastila 15 occurs after exiting the judge's house in the Holder of the Laws quest, where Bastila expresses reluctance to discuss the previous conversation until Malak is defeated.
  12. 12
    Carth Conversations: After completing the "Finding Dustil" quest, Carth may not initiate dialogue. This can occur even after waiting for Star Maps, leveling up, or in multiple game files. Potential glitches include "saving levels" and using T3-M4 to open Uthar's room.
Tips
  • Consider using Force Storm against Jedi tubes in the final battle with Malak, even if you are light-sided, as it is a powerful dark Force power.
  • Force Breach is another option that may not significantly affect your Force Points (FP).
  • If you are a consular, Force Storm can be effective.
  • Be prepared for difficult combat encounters with sand people, especially if other enemies are present.
  • If you encounter issues with companion conversations not triggering, try reloading an earlier save or exploring different dialogue options.
  • Improved droid combat effectiveness.
  • Completion of companion quests and conversations.
  • Potential for earning 500 credits from selling the wraid plate.
  • Access to crafted items like grenades, stimulants, and life support packs.
