Star Wars KOTOR 2 Jedi Companion Influence Guide | Darkside Jedi Walkthrough Atton Bao Dur Desciple 

Seeing Disciple suffering the effects of the dark side within a minute is downright scary

"Best to kiss ass until you convert them, and then you can start being the asshole you initially wanted to be." Can there be a quote more fitting to describe a true Sith?

I feel like you could make these games so realistic. In one of my gameplays, I had started out light/neutral but when I learned that I was Darth Revan, I begin to go down a darker path.

Love how people are re playing this amazing games. Sad we have to dig back in history to get some of that good Star Wars content

I've just started Kotor 2 again as a dark side male. Handmaiden was the one I was interested in converting to the dark side the most though this was very helpful for Bao Dur. Thank you!

Being a hero is overrated. We need more games that focus on being the villain.

PROTIP: convert Disciple before leveling him up that way you can give him Jedi levels

You can also make your companions jedi by getting their influence down to zero instead of 100. They will just become the opposite of your play through. So if you are darkside and get handmaiden to 0, she will be a lightside jedi

You should totally make Mira a dark Jedi if you go grey until Nar Shaada (which is my first planet always to get Atton to Jedi status too). Her turning her back on her previous ideals after everything she’s done is pretty sad. Dark side is pretty evil in this game. They NEED a remaster collector’s edition. Take my money!

The hardest I did was dakside Mira. Go itorian for ls/neutral point do narshada first gain influcence. Then use the infinite ds points glitch. Same thing can be done with ds handmaiden. Also it can be fun to get the ds ending and keep the jedis alives. Give Kreia full her full victory !

I once got Mira to turn dark. That was a bit of a challenge but fun to do.

KOTOR2 is still such an amazing game. Last time I played was when it dropped, well before guides were so detailed. I played 3 times thru then & moved on. Recently tried the mobile ver & uts like I said, amazing.

"Jedify" lol. I like it.

If i remember correctly to get Mira you just need to be neutral or slightly leaning to light side and you can convert her to Jedi and then go full Dark Side with no issues, Handmaiden doesnt matter Light or Dark side as long you dont fail the influence checks.

As soon as I met Disciple... I fantasized about my dark hands molding him.

We need to get a group together since we are probably the only people still playing this fantastic game

I know its technically not part of the original restored content vision but I don't view it as cheating like start with lightsabers, but there's a mod for the restored content that lets you chose between Hanhar and Mira, it makes getting her in dark side runs soo much easier

I play gray/light until I recruit Mira, then the gloves comes off. By that time I can pretty much train everyone into a jedi after Nar Shadaa. I prefer Mira over the Wookie. Sure he has a story but Mira so much better.

I actually had no problems converting Handmaiden to a dark jedi at all. Just keep her influence high, side with her instead of Visas, fake being light side only when she asks you stuff, fight her three times and boom, your character tells her he will start training her as a dark jedi. She switches her outfit to black which is way cooler, too.

awesome guide! thanks for helping me convert disciple on the spot!

Like the first paragraph you said answered all my questions I need it so thank you very much it took me so long just fine that.

Ayy thanks dude was looking for the dark side guide for companions

Helpful guide, though the pace is a little too quick at points. It's worth highlighting that Atton will actually approve of wanton violence in spite of himself. Probably as foreshadowing of the Exile's instinctive influence over people in moments of stress, but he does eventually grow into it so you don't need to hide your evil acts from him. Which brings me to this thought: is it truly worth it to go all this way to manipulate your other followers, to pretend to be good and morally upstanding, only to train them to use the Force... and then not have them actually flip to your way of thinking? They will still disapprove of evil, violence and exploitation long after you turn them into Dark Jedi. So even if you wanna bring them along, you'll just have annoying back-seat moral guardians yapping over your shoulder when they should be your pupils. Their karma meter is all the way down, but somehow the dark side hasn't actually touched them, when the lore yells at us constantly that it's insidious and truly capable of warping people's morals beyond recognition. Feels like Obsidian kinda dropped the ball there, not really following through on the Influence system or just not having enough time to fully implement it before launch. Hard to say. I find it way more fulfilling to A) stick to the followers you actually *can* effectively corrupt, and/or B) stick to the followers that approve of your evil actions to begin with. HK-47, Hanharr, Kreia, Visas, G0-T0, Mandalore... It does make you groan at the do-gooders just sticking around and judging you, but I guess you get those regardless of alignment anyway.

My first play through i just constantly murdered people infront of handmaiden while also going through all her dialogue options and somehow converted her by the end tho she wasn't a full blown jedi yet since I didn't know about conversions and keep leveling her up

I would always recomend dark side because your character can learn a force power that just buffs your self match that with battle meditation stims, and shields and your good to go. oh yeah you can also force crush. By the way I can’t remember the thing that buffs your stats.

Handmaiden is actually very easy to influence and she doesn't actually require you to be level 18, I converted her at level 10 with enough experience to be level 15ish (Maybe I had the exp for level 18, but I'd forgotten about the level 15 minimum for prestige class, so I flipped her with my main char at level 2 and just ran her as my main character through content for a while, and as long as you dont actively level her she is very easy to defeat in hand to hand combat at a very low level (I usually suppress my character to level 15 for jedi/sith prestige builds). I'm also near positive you can also convert her before a tier 3 echani duel if you find two or 3 areas areas of influence with her which are generally pretty easy with minimal light side gain. You can basically beeline to nar-shadaa with her in tow, assist the two men you'll encounter early on, and also I think offer to return the Ebon Hawk to the idiot guy and then do t1 and t2 fights and she will flip, or just help out even if you're dark side. Also if you plan to do evil deeds, you just party swap her to avoid the influence drops. You don't lose influence for the acts they don't see you do. Can also do a bunch of the kindness things on Dantooine to support Koonda and the Republic, as well as show the droid parts dude mercy and help him out, and you probably don't want to try to flip her on Onderon at all because you would have to give up things like the Qixoni crystal giving up the star port visa and all, and she isn't really keen on you assassinating, intimidating, and tricking royalist sergeants out of their command posts or encouraging riots, and getting a republic spy/reporter kidnapped and tortured, and most of these things have pretty relevant benefits, whereas Nar Shadaa and Dantooine influence don't really jeopardize serious rewards by influencing her. After that it is simply a matter of not doing influence loss checks with her in your party and she will fall all the way to the dark side with you, and when you prestige class you will give her prestige as well, and she will get a 1-8 bonus damage for being a dark side jedi guardian. You don't even have to make her a crit build (although it's pretty solid) you can give her no additional combat feats and just let her 1-shot things with a force-jump saber slash and just spec her into defense and accuracy while giving her an absolute jacked saber. Give her dual strike (paired either with a jedi teammate/main using multi target force powers or with one of the droids/Canderous so that she can get the bonuses), conditioning, dueling, vitality regen, toughness, specialization sabers (she gets auto as a guardian I believe if you do not level her at all before turning her she should pick up specialization pretty rapidly). As for the saber, the obvious 2-12 damage lens expert fencing emitter, and either an ultimate diatum or a telgron jolt Mk III power cell, for saber crystals, if you have them, I really liked using Hurikkane, and the b. ingot for the 2-12 fire, but pontite in place of hurikkane is pretty fun as well, especially with the jolt cell because you'll get +2-12 fire, 1-10 cold, 1-6 lightning and have a dope storm saber that has +4-26 tribrid elemental damage along with the 7-35 on the saber with the lens and emitter, for a total of 12-69 damage on the lightsaber without any other gear modifiers except for the dark side prestige effect when she is fully dark with your main character. Of course you'll also want the master speed power for the double combat round hits and with this build, even on difficult she should 1-hit most enemies through the end of the game. The influence part should hold strong no matter what version you play on, but I think hurikkane crystal is a RCM exclusive, could be wrong though.

You can actually make Handmaiden a Dark Jedi Guardian easily as dark side. I've actually done it three times before. All you need to do is duel with her and not commit dark side actions in front of her (like killing innocents). There are actually two influence opportunities you can use just by talking to her and you can still gain dark side points with those opportunities. As for 4:09, there is a way to gain influence with Bao-Dur without the LS points. All you have to do is say to the thugs "You two better back off before you're kissing duracrete" and then they will attack. Once you finish them, say to Rutum "Aren't you going to thank me?" or "Let them come" and the Bao-Dur will automatically say that was a kind act. Mira actually is kinda hard to turn dark. I've donene it before, though. I'll admit it was extremely fun. I even have a screenshot :D . For Disciple, you can make him a Dark Jedi even before you leave the sublevel by following certain speech patterns. It definitely requires LS points, though. There's actually influence opportunity you can utilize on the Ebon Hawk. You can meditate with the Disciple and it actually gives you XP, FP, and influence. Anyways, great video! It's great to see people are still playing these games. I hope to see more :)

Thanks!

I have to ask, is it worth trying to make Handmaiden a dark Jedi? My goal was to make everyone Jedi this play through, and to do it fairly early on. I made both Atton & Bao-Dur Jedi in Nar Shaddaa (the 1st planet I went to). After some trial and error, I was able to turn them both Jedi in about 10 to 15 minutes. I also got my lightsaber built in the process. I’ve had a couple Handmaiden influence gains already. I was thinking of just flying to another planet or two I order to gain influence, make her a dark Jedi, and then go back to Nar Shaddaa to start really playing the game. (This is the first time I’ve played the game since it first came out 17 years ago, so I don’t remember much)

It is possible to influence every companion to dark side? I know Handmaiden is hard to influence. I tried light side and manage to get all of them except kreia but I think I remember I manage to get her to light side somehow in one of my playthrough out of 30-50 of replaying though I might mistaken, I think she get to light side and then turn to dark side as time goes on, I might be wrong though.

Handmaiden is real ez actually. Mira is not to hard but same here I always get the Wookiee. Handmaiden and atton is probably the easiest for me bao dur dark side is the hardest.

Also if u max out negative influence u can make them the opposite of what u are. Haven’t done this my self but have been reading what other people have done.

Do the companions change class later on? Sith Marauder Bao-Dur,etc.

Thanks for the video. I just beat the Xbox version of the game on light side and realized I missed the chassis for HK47 along with a bunch of opportunities with the handmaiden Atton, Boa Dur. I’m definitely going to research your videos to see if I can find the spots I missed. My only question is what’s the best order of planets to get the most influence?

I’ve just started a new play through on Xbox and just finished going through the Harbinger on Peragus but I’m going dark side and have kinda been an ass to Atton and Kreia and there have been two instances where I’ve lost influence with Atton. Have I already lost the chance to make him a Jedi, or should I just reload a previous save and run through the Harbinger again so I can be nice to him?

I wish I knew I could do this when I first started, I wanted to turn Aton but I think it’s to late

As a dark side male, I don't care about conversions usually. I literally can't stand taking light side points. Always reload if that happens.

I'm just playing it, if it wanted to play D&D I'd get the dice out. 🤣

What do you mean the handmaiden this hard to convert she is the easiest one just don't talk to visas keep her on the ship and train with her three times As for getting Mira as a dark side character lookup the cheat node it allows you to switch over to mira and vice-versa for getting hanharr on the light side

2:27 THIS 😂😂😂

Ugh, I triggered the Twi’leks on Narr Shadaa, but I haven’t gotten any sort option to trigger dialogue for Atton.

You can use steam mods to take Mira as a sith

I want to do this again but peragus mining station and telos takes too long I don’t feel like doing again but the first time I ran thought the game I didn’t know how to convert my team to Jedi’s so I had a hard time with some opponents

Bao Dur won't get influence when I help Rutum near the central pit. Why?

What do you suggest if you only got the treating the sick man on Nar-Shaada for Bao-Dur? Oh wait wow. I don't have option for Bao-Dur to check atmosphere scanners, why is that?

Just started a new game!

I’m literally so late to the game, I thought Bao-dur could not be a Jedi

how do you make ba dur red/black skinned.....is it on the darkside?

What do I do if I have been an ass the whole game so far and know I’m on Nar Shadaah?

ik im late, but i didnt get it. To convert Atton to dark jedi, u have to choose light side answers and stuff, and after he is jedi, u can go dark side path? To convert Bao Dur, u do not have to do special stuff, u can be as cruel as u want? To convert the disciple, u have to make some decisions in the dialogue at dantooine, and then he is dark side?

Do you post any of your playthroughs?

How do you get them to turn dark? Do you just get them to hate you by making their Influence 0? What's the trick. Turning them into dark jedi seems difficult.

Woolieversus is doing a massive play through at the moment, well I say massive, 62 episodes and counting, though it would help if they'd keep playing instead of stopping to have long conversations. 🤣

HELP! So I’m trying to make Bao-fur a dark Jedi, I gained some influence with him no Dantooine and no I figured I could use the speeder on Naar shadar to get the final bit from him. But now the game won’t let me board the Ebon Hawk, and I have no dialogue choices with him. Thanks

Idk if this is a glitch or not but handmaiden is already leaning dark side for me, I was already very dark side before I got her and then the first time I used her she instantly was in black robes and her alignment was leaning dark? Hardly spoke to other than one training session

Who is the Disciple is this the same game i played ? never knew he coud join your party. LOL never played a female

I go lightside just to get maiden and Mira then go darkside

Why is every one saying Hand Maiden is difficult? She was the only one I converted during my first play through, and that was as a dark sider.

Ik this vid is like 2 years old but i just got done with my dark side playthrough on mobile of which i was able to convert Handmaiden to the dark side without having to reload a save this is probably bc i never reached dark mastery before hand which i believe will cause her to stop talking to you if you do

Its better to play as a female if doing a darkside play through cause you don’t have to worry about Handmaiden. Would it be possible to convert Mira even if you’re darkside?

Can you turn them to Sith if you're playing light side?

I think it's stupid that Bau during immediately turns into darth maul, Mauls tattoos were given to him to increase his power with the dark side they didn't just appear because he was evil

Does disciples convo tree work on the vanilla Xbox version for dark side?

Can you do all these on console?

If you convert a companion at the lightside, and go darkside, will they flip over aswell? Or will they stay lightside companions? Wondering because i want Mira to join my dark side playthrough. And maybe Atton or Bao-dur will become light jedi if i convert them now... Great video by the way!

I got handmaiden dark side on my first playthrough by sheer luck, not sure what I even did

Thanks Cat Daddy

What mods are you running?

I'm thinking about turning handmaiden to the dark side anyone got any tips

currently working on this right now but you can turn all these companions by actual being dicks to them, low influence. I still got "dark Jedi sentinel" for atton even though i have like 20 influence with him....... Really cool though low influence atton has a minor change to his scene with Kreia after you awaken him to the force. He actually is playing to Kreia's game instead of trying to act like he's freed I'll see if I can go back and record it it, it's a scene i've never really seen before.

The blind hand maiden has a name on swgoh...js

"Here's a Dark side version of the influence guide, but it doesn't include the only two characters you actually need a guide for " Cool... Thanks, I guess.

My militia guy on dant was black

So basically just be a good guy to turned them into jedis and gain they're trust than afterwards be an asshole to turned them into siths?

Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

Fuck me i have handmaiden

Handmaiden js easy. I shut this video off immediately after you said she was hard. Bye
