Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Upper City North

Upper City South
You enter from the ../Upper City South/ in the southeast corner of the Upper City North. It's patrolled by Sith troopers and populated with a couple of protocol droids and Taris citizens like the men in the Upper City South, but there are also another Taris citizen, a couple of Taris merchants, and a child who may comment, but cannot be engaged in dialog:


 * }

 * }

Apartments
The exit to the ../North Apartments/ is directly opposite the entrance from the ../Upper City South/, to the north (as you'd expect). Whether you've come here directly or after being invited to a party by Sarna or Yun Genda in the ../Upper City Cantina/, this should be your first destination upon arrival in the Upper City North.

After opening the Upper City elevator to access the ../Lower City/, an Ithorian and a taunting boy and girl spawn here. As you approach them, the Ithorian speaks to you, giving you a chance to receive a small amount of experience and move closer to the light side of the Force:


 * }

The Ithorian is saved if you get involved, or Mission, Bastila or Carth do so if you don't:

Mission has the most robust response:

In her absence, Bastila and Carth can get involved:


 * }

Otherwise, you can move closer to the light side of the Force at the cost of a :

If no one gets involved, the boy kills the Ithorian before running away:


 * }

Lower City
Once you have from the ../North Apartments/, travel to the west end of the Upper City North and turn north at the T-junction (being sure to use the south side of the walkway if you wish to avoid the drunk men on the north side). As you turn right around a hairpin bend, at its apex you'll see the elevator leading down to the ../Lower City/ in the east wall, with a Sith Guard to the right. If you try to approach it or speak to him:


 * }

The elevator remains locked until someone equips Sith Armor and you approach or speak to the Sith guard again:

Sith Armor needs to remain equipped until you've taken the elevator to the Lower City. Aside from allowing access to the ../Lower City/, opening the elevator door also spawns the Ithorian being taunted by a boy and a girl at the entrance to the North Apartments.

Once you've completed the search for Bastila and are escaping Taris, upon returning from the to  in the Lower City to meet Canderous, you'll need to present the Sith papers you traded for the Sith Armor with Gadon Thek.

Droids by Janice
Droids by Janice is also at the west end of the Upper City North (be sure to use the south side of the walkway from the east end if you wish to avoid the drunk men on the north side). Turn south at the T-junction and open the door labeled Droid Shop to enter. Three incomplete droids are in bays in the south wall, while Janice Nall, a female Twi'lek, stands in a kiosk in the west wall with two utility droids to the left.

There's no need to come here until you've completed the search for Bastila, but buying T3-H8 before T3-M4 gives you a chance to receive some experience, and perhaps receive a few more credits and move closer to the dark side of the Force:

You can also ask her to let you see what she's got for sale, in her inventory:

You can ask her some questions about Taris as well:

However, this isn't necessary.

Purchasing a Droid

 * }

You can only buy T3-H8 if you have 50 credits and haven't already bought T3-M4:


 * }

'''Beep. Click. Whirr. Grind. Beep.'''

As T3-H8 crosses the threshold of the shop as you leave, it explodes. Naturally, you return to Janice to get a refund:


 * }

She can be persuaded to give something extra, although if you fail then you can move closer to the dark side of the Force by threatening her instead:

Once you've spoken to Canderous Ordo about escaping Taris, you can buy T3-M4:

If you speak to her again about her droids:


 * }

Alternatively, If you're desperate or willing to move closer to the dark side of the Force, you can threaten her to get T3-M4 for free:

'''Beep. Beep. Beep.'''

Now that T3-M4 has joined your party, you can gain access to the to the north.

Sith Base
The entrance to the Sith base is to the north of the Upper City elevator, but there's no reason to go there until you're escaping Taris.

If you try to open or use the door, you're informed of the following:

[This security door is sealed and cannot be opened using normal security skills.]

Once you've purchased T3-M4 from Janice Nall to the south, the little droid can open it for you. At this point T3-M4 can be removed from your party, although its skill with may be useful with the terminal in the reception area just inside the Sith Base. Once you've entered you'll be unable to return to hideout or change your party selection without leaving the base, so do so from here if need be.

Drunk men
When traveling between the east and west ends of the Upper City North, you'll notice a multicultural trio of drunk men on the north side of the walkway. You can use the south side of the walkway to avoid them, but approaching them gives you a chance to move closer to the light or dark side of the Force (and in the latter case receive a small number of credits), unless someone is equipping :

They all run off to the east and disappear to the south. Otherwise:


 * }


 * }

They all wander to the east and stop at the junction. If you speak to them again:

Otherwise:


 * }

Any nearby Sith Troopers may fire upon them, and you'll still receive experience if any drunk man is killed as a result (although this won't be recorded in ).

Gorton Colu
Gorton Colu stands at the northwest corner of the T-junction at the west end of the Upper City North, with an audience of a couple of Taris citizens:


 * }

You can ignore him, although if you want to find out what he's talking about then it can get particularly heated if Zaalbar and Mission are present:

Otherwise:

An enthusiastic response, whether in jest or in earnest, won't go down well with Mission or Bastila:

If you humor him:

If you're not supportive:
