Once you reach the Lower City, you will see a gang fight between Black Vulkars
and Hidden Beks. The Vulkars will win, and then turn on you. Dispatch them
and explore the apartments. You'll want to avoid the main entrance to the Vulkar
base, for now, and head in the direction of Javyar's Cantina and the Hidden
Bek base.
Lower City
- To Upper City
- Black Vulkar base main entrance. You can't get through here, you have to
enter this base by another route.
- Lower City Apartments #1
- Javyar's Cantina.
- Hidden Bek base.
- Lower City Apartments #2
- To Undercity. You'll need papers to get past the guard. You can get these
papers by making a deal with Gadon of the Hidden Beks.
Lower City Apartments #1
- To Lower City
- Repair a disabled security droid here and set it in patrol
mode and it will roam the halls, taking out Vulkar thugs.
You get XP for repairing the droid, so you don't really lose anything.
- Various Vulkar thugs inhabit these apartments. Dispose of them and loot
their footlockers.
- Vulkar gang boss and enforcer. A bit tougher, but with nicer loot.
- Twisted Rancor Trio's apartment. To open the footlocker, read the history
of the band located in the nearby desk. Then activate the holograms in the
order of the members joining the band. In case you don't want to do
the hard work, it is: Elinda, Ujaa, Ujii, Loopa, Fodo, Ashandi. The crate
contains
Echani
Fiber Armor, which is not only decent by itself, it's upgradeable.
- Matrik's apartment. He has a bounty on his head and a scheme to fake his
own death. Give him the permacrete detonator you purchased at Kebla's shop
(you did purchase it, right?) and he'll fake his own death. You can later
collect the bounty for him by lying that you killed him. You get Light Side
points for helping him escape (and no Dark Side points for lying to collect
the bounty).
Javyar's Cantina
When you first enter the center of the cantina, you get to witness Calo Nord
in action. He's not talkative and not killable by you at this stage of the
game. You'll also meet Mission Vao and Zaalbar here.
- Exit to Lower City
- Bounty office. Talk to Zax the Hutt to get the bounties. For Light Side
points and XP, you can collect on Matrik by helping him fake his death and
then lying to Zax. You can pay off Largo's loan, and bribe Holdan to cancel
the bounty on Dia. You can also collect the bounty (by killing) on Selven.
You can only collect the bounty on Bendak Starkiller by playing your way
through the dueling arena and then engaging Bendak in an illegal deathmatch,
which will earn you Dark Side points. In one corner of this room, Bib Surool
is auditioning a dancer. For a little fun and XP you can help the dancer
with her audition.
- Holdan hangs out here. Unless you have a high enough Persuade skill, it
will cost you 200 credits to get Dia's bounty removed.
Hidden Bek Base
Unless you choose, later, to betray Gadon Thek and the Hidden Beks, most of
their base is off-limits to you. Just walk into the main room and find Gadon
along the back (North) wall. He'll explain Bastila has been captured by the
Vulkars, put up as the prize for an upcoming swoop bike race, and you need
to win that race to free Bastila. You can ensure your win by recovering a prototype
swoop bike accelerator from the Vulkar base. The only way into the base is
through the sewers, and the only person who knows how to use this entrance
is Mission
Vao
and she's wandering around Undercity. Oh joy...
- Exit to Lower City
- Gadon Thek.
Lower City Apartments #2
The first time you enter these apartments, you'll see a scene in which bounty
hunter Calo Nord offs some Rodians. You may have already met him in the cantina,
but he's no more talkative here than he was there.
- To Lower City
- Vulkar gang boss. Watch out for a frag mine in the closet.
- Miscellaneous Vulkars.
- There's a mined, sealed chest in the corner. Disable the mine using Demolitions
skill. To open the chest, you need to answer three questions. You can obtain
the answers by reading the message on the answering machine in the desk.
FTR, the answers are: Hyperdrive, uncle, Alderaan. Score some sweet Republic
Mod Armor from the chest.
- Selven's apartment. She's one of the subjects of the bounty hunt. She's
actually guilty and your only choice is to collect the bounty (assuming you've
taken the bounty hunt quest). There are no Dark Side points for killing her.
