| Alternate ending sequence
Reach the final battle with Darth Malak, but do not open the door yet. Press L + R on controllers one and four. Change voice tempo While playing a game, hold Black or White on controller four to increase or decrease the speed of the voice dialogue. Infinite energy shields Equip the shields on the arms of your current party members, then activate them. Resume the game. While activated, unequip them, then return to the game. The energy shield should still be active. Repeat this when necessary. Restoring health Whenever you need to refill your health and Force, press Start then press the L or R until you get to the map screen. Press X to transit back to your safe location for that world. Once there, you will have full Force power and health for your entire party. Now repeat those steps to transit back to your original location. Note: This usually only works when outdoors, and if you leave the area near your safe spot the transit back will be disabled, forcing you to walk back. Also when you level up, think about where you are in the game. If you know a big battle is about to happen and you do not need any new powers, then consider healing yourself, and not leveling up yet. Whatever experience you get automatically goes to your next level anyway, and leveling up completely heals you. It is more useful to do this than to try to heal or use medipacs in the middle of a battle. Easy experience Activate droids before or after battles, you will receive more experience points just for activating them. Also do quests as they appear, and go back and visit other planets. There are sometimes new opportunities and chances to battle more for experience points. Easy battles For an easy win against any opponent, target them by pressing R. Then, start running around in circles. This can be very helpful if you only have a small amount of health remaining and need to heal yourself. It can also help in a Jedi battle, as the enemy will eventually put his or her lightsaber away, giving you an opportunity to attack. Saving credits You really do not need to buy anything in the game under the easy difficulty setting. There are ample power-ups, weapons, and armor that can be found. However, make sure to buy the HK-47 droid, as it is a party member. Save your money to advance yourself, make loans, and to buy the items that do appear anywhere else. Never ask for rewards, as they always are given. Use Persuasion to nicely ask for more. Swoop racing boost If you shift gears on a launch pad, it will give your swoop a stronger boost. Receive less damage from lightsabers Whenever facing a Jedi or someone with a blade of any kind, equip and activate a personal shield to your arm to reduce the damage. Activate lightsaber outside of combat Press Y to activate your lightsaber at any time. Bastila's underwear Equip Dark Jedi robes on Bastila. Remove them to see new underwear. Force Persuade Every time your character levels up , you can choose a new power. Get the two Force Persuade abilities and people will not be able to resist. Note: Forcing people to do your bidding will increase your Dark alignment on some objectives. Persuasion The Persuasion ability is very useful and adds options to the game, and not just in conversations. Give the main character a lot of persuasion points instead of Dominate Mind so that you can add other abilities and still have good Persuasion. Hidden names When using the random name generator, press it enough times and you will get character names from the Homestar Runner cartoons, such as 'Homsar' and 'Kerreck.' It might take a few tries to find these. Character development Have different characters focus on different abilities. For example, give the droids high Computer and Repair abilities, use another character Dark Force powers, another for Stealth, etc. Increase Dark alignment in Dantooine Matale Estate When doing the Sandral-Matale Feud quest, go to the Sandral home first when you have permission to investigate the disappearance of Shen Matale from the Jedi Council. Take the necessary steps to enter the home. After questioning Nurik Sandral, he will depart to the back of his home. Get to the point where you can deny Rahasia. You can go to the Matale's home and speak with him. If you select all the bottom answers, his last question will be for you to ask 2,000 credits for finding Shen. By selecting all the bottom answers, you have earned yourself a Dark side point. Talk to the droid again and Ahlan Matale returns outside with the same line of questioning. Repeat this to accumulate as many Dark points as desired. Increase Light alignment in Dantooine Sandral Estate When doing the Sandral-Matale Feud quest, go to the Sandral home first when you have permission to investigate the disappearance of Shen Matale from the Jedi Council. Take the necessary steps to enter the home. After questioning Nurik Sandral, he will depart to the back of his home. That is when Rahasia Sandral shows up and asks you for help. If you deny helping her free Shen, she will be upset. After denying her, go back to her and select 'Apologize'. After you apologize to her, she will continue with what help she needs, but deny her quickly instead of hearing her story. The apology earns you a Light side point. You can repeat this as many times as desired in order to accumulate high Light status. Keep Juhani while playing a Dark character in Dantooine Ancient Grove If you are playing a Dark side character, when you defeat Juhani do not fight her again. Instead, say that she can come back to the Light side. She will join your team and be helpful in later missions. You can make up for the gained Light points gained by getting Dark points in the Sandral-Matale Feud quest. Easy credits in Dantooine Ebon Hawk When you start to do the last Jedi trial on Dantoiine, go in the Ebon Hawk. Ask the droid, if available, to make Computer Spikes. Keep asking for about 50 Computer Spikes. Next, go to Big Z and let him make Frag Grenades. Then, find the merchant near the Jedi Academy. He sells expensive and good armor. Sell those Frag Grenades and Computer Spikes, then repeat for as many credits as desired. Increase Dark alignment in Ebon Hawk After finding the stowaway on the Ebon Hawk after landing on the first planet you land on after Dantooine, select the 'Get out of here, whoever you are! Right now!' option. Talk to her before she leaves to catch her again. Choose that dialog option again. Repeat this to increase your Dark alignment. Easy credits in Tatooine: Anchorhead Look for a woman near the Hunting Lodge that will sell you a Wraid Plate. Sell it for 500 credits. After that, go out into the desert and kill all the Wraid and get their skull plates. Return to the Hunting Lodge and sell them for 24 credits each. Easy experience in Korriban Sith Academy Enter the Sith Academy. Once there, you will find a room with slaves. There is a computer terminal inside the room. Log into the computer and chose 'Hack into Sith Data files'. When you do this, you will notice that the option to hack does not disappear. With the right party member, the cost for the Data Hack will only be 1 Spike. Each Data Hack will result in 360 experience points for your group. Note: This was done after all the Sith Academy quests were completed. Also, you can get unlimited Computer Spikes on Tatooine. When inside the Sith Academy, talk to Yuthura Ban and ask her 'I want to know about the code'. Then, choose 'I think I got it'. Do this repeatedly. Each time you ask her for code, you will get 125 experience points. Keep Sith Armor in Taris Lower City After obtaining the Sith Armor, transfer it to another person in your party and equip it just before getting the Sith papers from the Hidden Bek leader. Getting past the Rancor in Taris Sewers When you see the Rancor that is facing away from your team in the large room, take only one of team members and put the other in the 'Apartment'. You should only have 'yourself' and Mission Vao. At the entrance of the large room facing the Rancor (with his back turned), take over Mission. Turn on the invisible camouflage and move Mission towards the door the Rancor is facing. Move Mission to the right side of the Rancor where his right foot is far enough back so she can pass. After moving past the Rancor, go to the door, open it, and notice two guards. Toss two plasma grenades at them, then finish them off with Mission's blaster. Turn around and move fairly close to the Rancor. Open fire on the Rancor to keep it distracted. Switch to your character and follow the same route that Mission took. The Rancor will be too distracted with Mission and will not notice you. Be sure not to touch the Rancor. Once your character has made it where Mission is located, toss only frag grenades. It will take between five to seven of them to kill the Rancor. You will not have enough frags to kill the Rancor, but you can both move to the door that the guards where watching and move to the next level. Finish off the Rancor later and continue on. Defeating the Rancor in Taris Sewers In the room just before the Rancor, you will notice a dismembered arm. Search the arm, and you will receive an item (odor) that is supposed to lure the Rancor somewhere. Go into the Rancor room, approach the corpse pile, and search it. Take all the items. Search it again, then press X to enter 'give' mode. Put in one frag grenade and one of the smelly synthesizers you got from the dismembered arm. Exit the item screen. The Rancor will approach the corpse pile, eat it, and explode. This saves you from fighting, keeps your health, gives you more experience points, and also saves you four or five grenades. Curing Rakghoul without Serum in Taris Undercity To cure Rakghoul without drinking the Serum and having to find another one, approach a random person. Talk to them and say goodbye. You should be instantly healed. If you are not instantly healed, your green bar should disappear in the matter of seconds. Note: This will not restore health; find a Healer or use Medipacs. Cheap Medpacs in Taris Undercity In the Undercity in Taris is a man that has a shop. He sells Medipacs for 30 credits. Everyone else sells them for 40 credits. Easy experience in Taris Undercity Go to the location where you meet a gang of looters. They will tell you to go back. You will then be attacked by Rakghouls. Slightly farther in that direction, you will find two groups of the monsters. Fight them. Return back later to that location and they will be there again. Repeat this to gain experience points. Increase Dark alignment in Taris Upper City When you are on the east side of Taris, walk toward the three drunkards. This will initiate one of the drunkards to insult you. Pick the last response at the very bottom of the dialogue menu to start a fight with the drunkards. Before the fight, it will state that you have gained Dark Force points. Beat the drunkards to continue. Infinite Computer Spikes in Tatooine Anchorhead You can find unlimited amounts of Computer Spikes on Tatooine. Go to where you can purchase droids (near the desert gate) and you can buy an unlimited supply of Spikes for 250 credits each. Keep Sandpeople Robes in Tatooine After obtaining the Sandpeople Robes, transfer it to another person in your party and equip it just before the end of that quest. Defeating Calo Nord in Tatooine Krayt Dragon Den Have a party consisting of Bastila and Carth. Have Carth equip one or two melee weapons and have your entire party attack Calo. Note: It helps to have the normal or advanced power swing to attack him. If you have it, keep doing this and Calo will probably attack Bastila and Carth instead of your character. He should die quickly, and his thugs are easy pickings. When Calo Nord appears after coming out of the dragon's lair, instead of engaging him, you can run around the slain dragon on its right side and proceed to the exit of the Eastern Sand Dunes. Calo will not attack you. Make sure your entire party is with you when doing this. Defeating Dark Jedi When you level up, you can choose a new Force ability. Choose Force Resistance, and the next one after that. When you know you are about to fight a Dark Jedi, cast Force Resistance and their Force powers cannot hurt you. Also, Force Breach and Force Resistance are good for dealing with other powerful Jedi. Make these the first thing you use in those battles. Focus on these as you power up your character. Defeating droids with energy shields To easily defeat droids with an energy shield, use the Disable Droid or Destroy Droid Force power to do a considerable amount of damage. However, if the droids do not have an energy shield and you do not wish to engage in close quarter combat, simply equip one or two lightsabers to deflect the gunfire. If you cannot equip a lightsaber, use an Ion Blaster or Ion Rifle. Defeating Terentaks When going up against a Terentak or two, make sure someone in your party can yse stealth, and at least one other person has the Insanity Jedi power. Enable the stealth and begin lay mines in a clump or a path. Once done, get out of the Terentak's range of vision and the blast radius of the mines, and uncloak. Then, throw some type of grenade at it and allow it to approach. If done correctly, it should cross all the mines and knock its health down quite a bit. Note: The Terentak can not be concussioned; do not waste any mines that cause concussion such as flash mines. Once all the mines have exploded, use Insanity on it. It will be unable to attack. You can then use Force Shock, Lightning, Storm, Drain Life, Death Field, Wound, Choke, Kill, Slow, and Affliction to whittle its health down. You can also attack it, and Power Strike works very effectively. Once the Insanity wears off, use Insanity again to render it harmless again. Repeat this until all the Terentaks are gone. Note: This is a great way to take down the two Terentaks during the Final Test on Korriban. Duplicate items in Manaan 1. Go to the submersible in Manaan. Equip your two other party members with the items to be duplicated.
