Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Valley of Dark Lords

Sith Academy
Entrance to Academy is at the south end of the valley. The first time you enter you'll encounter Calo Nord here if you haven't done so since escaping Taris, and Darth Bandon does so if he hasn't been encountered since leaving the planet on which your third Star Map was found.

Caves
A narrow path leads to the northeast. Around a hairpin bend to the west is the entrance to the ../Shyrack Caves/ where you'll have your first Shyrack encounter, the composition of which depends on your character level:

They all look alike, but while Shyrack and Raptors actually inflict slightly more damage than Wyrms and have higher Defense and Reflex saves, they have significantly less vitality.

can be found within the caves, as can the light side.

Dak Vesser
Past the caves the path continues to the north, where it opens into the valley itself. A Sith guard stands on either side of the entrance, while a Sith patrol wanders around the perimeter of the pillars in the center of the valley:

The Sith student Dak Vesser can be seen working by a rock to the northwest of the entrance:

If Juhani is in your party:

Otherwise:


 * }

He can tell you about these ruins, and then about these tombs:


 * }

If you ask if he's heard about a Star Map being found here, or to tell you about the tomb of Naga Sadow:


 * }

He'll leave after speaking to Juhani. If you speak to her yourself, you can ask her to tell you about him:


 * }

Once Dak Vesser has left the valley, he can be found on the southeast side of Dreshdae's :

If Juhani is in your party:


 * }

Otherwise, if Juhani isn't in your party then when you say you're going to kill him she isn't there to stop you:

He receives bonuses depending on your character level:

Thus at character level > 14:

You never tell Juhani of this.

Ajunta Pall's Tomb
A Sith archaeologist can be seen working at a site to the northeast of the entrance to the valley; another works by a fallen pillar further to the north, while two others work at a second site around the rocks between the two tomb entrances on the east side of the valley and two Sith students wander between the two sites:

There's a metal box opposite the entrance to the ../Tomb of Ajunta Pall/:

Sword of Ajunta Pall
The Sith student Galon Lor stands to the left of the entrance to Ajunta Pall's tomb, on the north side:

There's also a metal box behind him:

Tulak Hord's Tomb
The entrance to the ../Tomb of Tulak Hord/ is in the northeast corner of the valley. There's a metal box to the left of this entrance:

Meeting Place
Once you've convinced Lashowe in the Sith academy to allow you to help her recover a relic in this valley, you'll find her by the rocks opposite the entrance to in the northeast corner of the valley. She speaks as you approach...

Aiding Lashowe
A Tuk'ata queen and two other Tuk'ata emerge from the direction of the tomb.

The high natural of the tuk'ata means that any Force users are advised to follow Lashowe's example and use (Advanced)  against them.


 * }

If you let her leave, she obviously doesn't share and you gain no experience or prestige unless you're willing to move closer to the dark side of the Force by killing her back at the academy. However, even if you take your revenge you still gain more by challenging her here. This leads to combat, but only one response moves you closer to the dark side of the Force:


 * }

She receives bonuses depending on your character level:

Thus at character level > 14:

'''This small crystal supposedly holds holographic recordings of the ancient Sith... information which could be incredibly valuable. There's no telling how long the holocron has been lost in the area, nor how well it works.'''

You can now return the holocron to Master Uthar back at the academy, where you gain most experience and prestige by not lying about killing her:


 * }

If you let her return the holocron herself, you're about to learn not to be so demure in the future:

If you're willing to move closer to the dark side of the Force then you can salvage something from the situation by confronting her about this betrayal:

Otherwise:

Otherwise:
 * }

At character level > 14:

She's slightly more challenging than out in the valley, and different items are retrieved from her remains. Let's find out what Master Uthar thinks of this:

If you speak to Yuthura Ban after Lashowe's death:

Marka Ragnos' Tomb
The entrance to the ../Tomb of Marka Ragnos/ is in the southwest corner of the valley.

Rogue Droid
The Sith student standing to the right of the entrance to Marka Ragnos' tomb can give you the same information:

Naga Sadow's Tomb
Two Sith archaeologists work by the rocks at the north end of the pillars in the center of the valley on the west side, and there's a metal box to the right of the entrance to the ../Tomb of Naga Sadow/ in the northwest corner of the valley:

Although you can enter the tomb, the passage is blocked by another door:
