To get the master discipline, talk to Freia once you have reached level 15

Im on level 18 now, and I´ve been taking her in my group since I was at 14 and talking to her on every occasion, but no luck....

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Have you tried doing it on the Ebon Hawk? That was when I did it.

[SwordsMaster]

Have you tried doing it on the Ebon Hawk? That was when I did it.

Yup, I tried and the only options I had was the typical "teach me about force" and "I have other questions" lines....

[Lehesu]

Do you have Visas Marr? You must have her to get prestige levels.

[discovery1]

Are you sure you don't have to sufficiently alligned to one side?

[The Tuffen]

I did it when i was level 20 something

[Merlin271]

It doesn't matter where you talk to her, I did it on Nar Shadaar. You have to have had Visas Marr join your party, and you have to be clearly light or dark side. (She has to offer you sith or jedi mastery, and she cant do that if your grey) and at level 15 (or over - not sure about that as i did it at precisely level 15)

[frogbeastegg]

I heard you have to be level 15 and 75% light or dark to get a prestige class. Not sure how true that is; my character is still level 14 and I haven't been able to play for a few days. I would also expect that the option will be contained in the 'teach me about the force' tree; kreia gains more and more options there as you grow.

On the endings: I haven't seen any of them yet thanks to being busy, but I did like some of the cut endings and ending parts, especially the two with light/dark Atton and a female character. The Handmaiden thing was explained later on

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

There are loads of characters called 'Handmaiden'. The scene probably takes place between Disciple and one of those other handmaidens. Either that or you could originally get Handmaiden and Disciple to meet somehow but this was dropped when the scenes were cut

And yes, this does mean I have encountered heavy spoilers before finishing the game. :sigh: Unmarked. Another forum. Condensed plot spoilers. Just one small sentence ruined it all for me. With no warning. In a topic marked 'no spoilers please'. Thank you very much.

WARNING MINOR SPOILER!
hey all, i saw that you ppl talk bout kotr 2 now, so i was wondering if someone knows what needs to be done in order to get the exchange or bounty hunters to come after me on nar shagga (spelled it right?). i won the swoop races, the pazaak games, killed the exchange boss and that other gang. and most other side quests i found. but they just wont come after me. sure on other planets but on naar shagga im stuck. cant get to the real exchange boss. or the bounty hunters for that matter. help anyone?

[Steppe Merc]

Just to let you know, it's Nar Shaddaa....
Here are some hints, not sure if you did:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Did you talk to the small little rat looking dude outside the cantina? Not the Champ, but he tells you where you stand with the Exchange. Did you get involved with the two merchants? That helps... Often, when you are in the same area with your ship, you have to walk towars the exit that leads to the Hutt (you got involved with him right? He's key...). Then you should see a cut scene with your ship... After you deal with that, you should be able to meet with the Exchange...

And Froggy, I'm confused... did you finish the game or not? Cause those aren't real endings...

[ShadesPanther]

I'm stuck

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I'm stuck in Duxn
When attacking the Sith temple at the same time as going to Iziz. My party includes Handmaiden, Visas and repairman. I just can't defeat the 3 dark Jedi. Visas is level 17 the others at 16, any ideas on how to kill them?

[FordPrefect]

nar shadaa it is.

thanks for the tips but.. the merchant quest wont go. none of them let me finish it so...

spoiler:

[COLOR=White]anyway, i doesnt matter. it seems it was just my fault for using the airspeeder instead of just walking to the refugee sector.. which triggered the set of events that puts me now on goto`s ship... o well... thanks anyway![/COLOR] 

about the dxun moon... i went there on a higher level i think and just kicked ass. although i do seem to remeber a sith lord that was hard and killed my handmaiden. try to figure out a tactic to go with like one close combat and two shooting away. stun if u can. granades. depends on what you have and the chars abilities, use anything that can get you that edge you need. good luck!

[frogbeastegg]

No, I haven't finished the game even once; lack of time

I read a thread on gamefaqs asking about prestige classes with a "NO SPOILERS!!!" in the title; safe, or so I thought. It was, for the first few posts, but then one of those infuriating people who live only to ruin games for others showed up and posted an unmarked neat, brief summery of the plot twist and ending. It was so short and embedded in a load of helpful, spoiler free posts so I read it before realising what it was.

Since the plot is now entirely ruined for me I decided I had nothing to lose by reading a thread about the missing ending and how the plot had been butchered by a lack of time; the topic contained a link to a topic on the Obsidian forums. That's the thread I linked to. The endings and scenes contained in it are not the real endings, not any more. They would have been, but they were cut out just like the soppy ending in KOTOR where

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Carth and a darkside female Revan stayed on the starforge to die together after killing Bastila.

I liked the ideas those missing scenes contained; they were the logical extension and finale of the character influence system in KOTORII. Some of them were surprisingly moving too, even to this rather cynical froggy.

As for the actual ending, I have not seen it and so cannot fairly comment.

[FordPrefect]

i ran into another problem on goto`s ship:

[COLOR=White] i have all the access codes and used them all. killed everyone. but i cant find the button to open the hatch to the next area (maybe goto there... i think) the hatch says it must be opened from the bridge but i cant find anyway to do it! help please!

You have to get the power supply override control from the console in the room where your main character is being held. Then switch everything over to secondary power, and shut down power.

Are they all Jedi? Do they all have lightsabers? Otherwise, I can't see how you would beat them...

FordPrefect, to inicate spoilers do quote tags, but just fill it in with spoil:

Shades-If you're having a tough time of it, just knock combat difficulty to easy in the options.

[econ21]

ShadesPanther:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

That was about the only hard fight in the game for me. There was a moment when I opened a door and two Sith Lords emerged who killed my handmaiden (a kickass Guardian with only the minimum 6 levels of soldier) and then Bao Dur. Only Mandalore remained, but he managed to gun them down.

You might think about changing your party - Visas is very fragile, she really needs the toughness feats to fight well. Give Mandalore heavy armour and a big gun, preferably upgraded and he is very useful.

Does your Handmaiden have force immunity? Because they did something to disable my Handmaiden and that allowed them to take her down. Force resistance or immunity might have helped me. It looked like they stunned her. Maybe some item that gives immunity to mind-affecting would help?

I don't normally use shields, but presumably the best energy resisting shields would help against Sith Lord light sabers?

Visas and Handmaiden might have some buff type Jedi powers that help. I always use Jedi speed, but there is energy resistance and a bunch of others.
If things get desperate, keep pausing and use life support or advanced healing packs if required.

In Kotor1, grenades - the bigger the better - were a useful leveller for really tough fights.

Obviously keep recharging your health through the heal force power after each mini-combat and don't let your party go charging off (set stance to defensive or something if they have that tendency).

Well yeah 2 of them are dark jedi and one is a sith master, one even has a double bladed lightsaber

seems like I'll have to change the difficulty. I've played it about 20 times now all with different combinations. one guy shooting or all melee-ing and all these different powers like having one of my jedi characters in support mode but no luck

EDIT: Simon

I know about the shields, I've tried it but one swipe and thats the shield gone, they usually all group focus on one of my characters at a time so basically they all get wiped out.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The way I eventually did it was something of an exploit. I had Mandalore, Mira and Jedi Atton in my party. I took advantage of the fact that Atton can't get knocked out unless he's the last member of the party standing. The Sith would take him down, then attack my other two characters. However, by this time Atton would have gotten up, and the Sith would turn around to attack him again...rinse and repeat. Couple this with copious use of medpacs and shields, and I managed to do it after about 5 tries.

[ShadesPanther]

I was able to do it first time on easy. Tried it twice more on normal but no luck, then i put it back to normal after. Thanks for the help

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I did love the next part though. So much fun killing the royalist soldiers reminds me of Episode I.

[FordPrefect]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

i did shut down power and all was fine. it seems i was going for the wrong hatch. but that raises a question. can this second hatch be opened? it on the south side of the map. it says it can be opened only from the bridge. anyone?

[discovery1]

Shoudn't be able to, since I don't think a ship is docked there. And if you do, then you get sucked out into the vaccum of space.

[SwordsMaster]

Ha, made it to jedi weaponmaster finally!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

IT depends on your allignment as well, you have to be very "light" or "dark" for her to give you the chance.

[71-hour Ahmed]

Gah. Completed it today... the ending was skipping again!!! I had to exit KOTOR 2 and re-enter to hear any of the end dialogue this time... really annoying.

It got a fair bit better to the end I think, certainly some interesting things, but...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I can't help feeling it was all a little pointless. Kreia's motivations are a bit meaningless at the end and contradictory. I don't get it - she has the chance to do what she wants but never even tries. She's too busy being nice to me (by trying to kill me....unusual mentoring style but I get the idea) So why? Why, why, why? I get the feeling the whole "kill the force" storyline was an un-used idea that was able to limp its way into the dialogue.

Darth Suck-em-dead never actually comes across as ominous which was a real shame. And Atris... such a good opportunity. I liked her, she was the Bastila of KOTOR2 for me , but she died so fast and easy. So much could have been made of her and the history with the main character that wasn't (although I liked the begging when you leave her to the Sith holocrons tender mercy ).

The storyline just doesn't tie up as well as KOTORs does (or at all).

Did anyone else ever get the urge to untie Kriea's hair, drag her into the shower and wash her? Those braids of her... I can't help thinking that they'd probably be pretty manky.
'

[Steppe Merc]

Frankly, I wouldn't want to touch Kreia... but are those braids? Or is she a Twi'lek? I doubt it, but...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The whole point was that Kreia would do anything for you... including killing the force.

[FordPrefect]

finished the game finally! the ending.... well.... it seems it leaves an opening for a 3rd game?

anyway, im starting over as "Darth Alice" (cheating all the way... )

the game was pretty easy though. i mean when i got my lightsaber, that was it for everybody else! i kill with one hit anything! except in the very end where some enemies needed to be hit twise to go down but still... should have played it on difficult setting. o well... i did enjoy the game. they really did a fine job with all the complexity they put in. one thing i didnt like was the game crashing endlessly. very annoying. very.

[Steppe Merc]

Did you have the computer version? Because Xbox was a bit buggy, but that's all...

[SwordsMaster]

Finished it. Apparently I missed a couple of side missions as well as that cave on Korriban, but everything else is there.

Now in a week or so I'll make a Dark sider.

Anyone tried calling him "Revan" to see what happens?

[Steppe Merc]

Ah man you missed the cave? The cave's awesome...
