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 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, they have significantly less vitality.

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


 * I am not here to get you out of trouble if you do something stupid, student. Enter the tombs at your own risk.
 * Any artifacts found should be brought to the attention of Master Uthar immediately.
 * Watch out for the tuk'ata. They will charge you on sight. Run back to the excavation area and we can protect you.
 * A dangerous assassin droid has barricaded itself within the tomb of Marka Ragnos, the first one on the left. Be wary.
 * There is an old Sith hermit that has been haunting this area, we understand. Watch out for him.
 * Beware of the tuk'ata. They are a pack beast that have their nests in one of the tombs. We fight them off as best we can.
 * The second tomb on the left within the valley is the tomb of Naga Sadow. It is off-limits to all students, unless they are in the company of Master Uthar.

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


 * }

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:

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:


 * Sorry, I can't talk. We have to excavate this valley with hand instruments. There's all kinds of old traps left behind that still work.
 * There's supposed to be some crazy Sith hermit that keeps kidnapping students in these hills. Best be careful.
 * You're out here to look for artifacts, I suppose? Just be careful.
 * Look, unless you're willing to lend a hand, leave us to our work.
 * These tombs we've uncovered are only the tip of an entire ancient Sith fortress. I wonder what happened here?
 * One has to wonder what made the Sith leave this planet originally. I bet the Jedi came and destroyed the colony.
 * I was told that there's an escaped assassin droid in one of the tombs. Watch out for it.
 * The tombs are all full of traps and droids that still work, it looks like. Stay out of them, if you can.
 * We've had indications that there's a whole ancient Sith colony under this valley. Isn't that an incredible find?
 * Careful of the tuk'ata. It's all we can do to keep those beasts away while we work.
 * Where is that blasted transport crew? We're supposed to send off the next shipment of artifacts right away.
 * The tomb on the far left, there, is off-limits. Only Master Uthar can go inside.
 * You aren't assigned to the excavation team, are you?
 * Sorry... I'm rather busy with the excavation planning, right now.

There's a metal box opposite the entrance to the :

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:

You can ask about Ajunta Pall and his sword:

There's also a metal box behind him:

Tulak Hord's Tomb
The entrance to the 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 innate 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.

Marka Ragnos' Tomb
The entrance to the 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 in the northwest corner of the valley:

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


 * [This door is locked and will not open at the moment.]
