Map of Upper Shadowlands

Chieftain in Need[edit]

Journal Entry Added Chieftain in Need
The Wookiee chieftain Chuundar has taken his brother Zaalbar from you and demands that you kill a mad Wookiee in the Shadowlands. Gorwooken has delivered you to the Shadowlands so you can begin your search.

Basket Up[edit]

The basket back up to the Great Walkway is in a clearing at the west end of the upper Shadowlands. If you haven't encountered Calo Nord since escaping Taris then he'll await you by the campfire in the south of this clearing, ambushing you immediately upon arrival; Darth Bandon does likewise at a later stage in your quest for the Star Forge.

Gorwooken remains standing by the basket, and he can take you back up to the Great Walkway if you approach and ask him.

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gorwooken: Hello again, Name. I've heard nothing of your progress, so I will assume there hasn't been any. I'll take you back to the surface, but you must do Chuundar's task. Don't keep him waiting.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I'd like to ask you some questions.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gorwooken: I'll operate the basket, as Chuundar has commanded, but I won't answer your questions while I stand in the Shadowlands. This place is sacred ground. Many of my kind have proven themselves here, and many have died as well. You aren't worthy of this place. I won't speak to you while we're here.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Just take me up now. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I'm not ready to go up. I'll be back later.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gorwooken: Very well. Just one moment. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gorwooken: Very well. I will wait here for you to return.

Jolee's Request[edit]

A path exits the basket clearing to the north. Around a hairpin bend to the west you'll have your first katarn encounter, the composition of which depends on your character level:

Experience Points (XP) Received: Experience Points (XP) Received:

Just beyond the katarns there's a corpse by the inside corner of the path as it turns north.

Item(s) Received Corpse

The path opens into a clearing to the north, where you'll see something unexpected.

A lone lightsaber illuminates the dangers of the Shadowlands.

The stranger fights and kills the four katarns single-handed as you approach, before speaking to you briefly to introduce himself and suggest you follow him to his camp.

Dialog
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Ah, the damnable racket of battle! Watch yourself, even more of these crawling beasts are hiding in the underbrush.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Who are you? What are you doing here? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. What, do I have to fight you as well now? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Help or don't, just stay out of my way.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I'm Jolee. Jolee Bindo. Follow me to my camp and we'll talk a bit.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I will, but explain what you are doing here. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. You use a lightsaber in battle. Are you a Jedi? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Who are you to give me orders, old man?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Why am I here? Hmph. Well it isn't because I like the stink of dead kinrath. Let's move this talk to my camp where the air is better. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Ah, don't start fawning just yet, I'm too old for it. *Sigh* I…I know a few things, but we can talk about it at my camp. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Look, you can follow me now or stumble around on your own, but I'm too old to care whether you think I'm babysitting you.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Keep close. It's nearby under a log. Yeah, I live like some burrowing rodent. I fought the Sith… now look at me. Hmph!

Jolee runs off down the path exiting the clearing to the east. When you follow him you'll pass a corpse on the north side of the path, to the left.

Item(s) Received Corpse

The path leads to another clearing to the southeast, in which there is some rubble.

Item(s) Received Rubble

There are paths exiting the clearing to the northeast and southwest, and Jolee runs down the latter to his hut (the northeast path leads to the Czerka Hunting Ground).

Jolee's Hut[edit]

The path exiting the clearing to the southwest turns southeast and then opens into another clearing. Jolee stops and waits outside the door to his hut on the west side. You must speak to him:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Well, welcome to my home, such as it is. Pull up a stump and be comfortable. We should discuss a few things.

You can be impatient:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I've no time for your prattling. I'm on a mission. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. I have better things to do.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I'm sure you are, but you have to take time to listen. Really, you shouldn't try so hard to make new enemies. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Do you? Well, I'd better not keep you. I mean, I've only spent about twenty years here. Heh. What could I possibly tell you?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Hmph! You don't want to be just another fool with a big impatient chip on their shoulder. That's a dark road, child.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Well then, will you answer some questions? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Then speak, and I'll see if you can be of use.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Yes, yes. I suppose it's my lot in life, to spend years learning something so that someone else can be impatient to hear it. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Oh ho, your manner is fearsome. Like the little ullers I shoo from the garden, hissing at what they don't understand.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I'm too old for your posturing, child. If you have questions, then ask them.

Alternatively, you can be more conciliatory:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Yes, I feel there is much you can tell me. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. No offense, but I don't have much time. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Forgive me, but I am under a tight schedule.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Don't coddle me, child. I'm neither a Jedi nor your master. I'm just an old man that's been lost in the woods for far too long. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: You'll have nothing but time if you don't take what help you can. I've been here for many years. I know things. Remember that.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: My days of glory are behind me, but… perhaps there is something I can do for you. You must have questions.

The following responses will bring him to the point the quickest:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Have you any knowledge of Star Maps? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. There's a repulsor field in the east. Do you know how to pass it? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 5. I'm leaving. I have to get moving.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Now why would you be asking about that, hmm? Don't answer. I knew that had to be why you were here. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Ahh, I thought you would spot that. It's easy to see with Force-sensitive eyes, isn't it? Heh heh. Czerka put it there. It's a troublesome thing, blocking some access to the lower Shadowlands. That's where you want to go, isn't it? KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Wait wait wait, slow down. I have to ask something of you. I've got something you need, and you can help me. We both know why you have come here. The Star Map. That has to be it. There is nothing else here.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: The problems of a few Wookiees don't amount to anything before the concerns of the Jedi. No, you are here for the map.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Kashyyyk is an interesting place, more so than anyone suspects. If Czerka Corporation knew, heh, the planet would be a strip mine. The Wookiees have their legends that they were not always here, but it is more than that. The trees themselves are strangers
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I don't understand. Can you be more specific? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. You are rambling, old man! Get to the point. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Legends? I have real I need to pass.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: What I'm saying is that there are literally walls in your way, and you won't find what you need without my help… and my help has a price.

If you've already removed the poachers from the Czerka camp:

KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Of course, this won't be a problem for you, since you have already completed my task. Removal of the Czerka poachers.

If you've met them and agreed to participate in tach poaching:

KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Now, I'm not sure if you'll measure up to my task, seeing as how you've already joined up with the slime I want gone.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Who do you mean? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. This better not mess up any plans I've made.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: The Czerka poachers. I can smell that scent they use on you. I don't care what you told them, I want them gone. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Hunting monkey is part of your great plan? I know you talked to the Czerka poachers, and I don't care. I want them gone. After you do that, I want to join up with you...
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: After you do that, I want to join up with you. Then I'll remove the barrier between you and the lower Shadowlands.

Otherwise:

KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: You must do a task for me, and then allow me to join with you. I will then remove certain barriers in your path.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I'm honored to help someone of your experience. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Why should I trust you, you crazy old coot? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Can't I just pay you? I hate jumping hoops. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. What do you want me to do?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Oh, save it. I know this sounds absurd, but I'm old and entitled to work you around a bit. Besides, the test is simple.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Since they began expanding in the Shadowlands, the Czerka have left me alone, for the most part. Until recently, anyway. A group of them set up camp not far from here. Poachers is all they are. I'd like them removed from this place.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Why do you care if they are here?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: They don't respect this place. They are butchering wildlife and threatening entire species. It's getting under my skin. The Wookiees could take care of themselves if they wished, but the animals are truly helpless victims.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Well, I'll try to learn from this humble task. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I see. So the aged semi-Jedi wants me to get some kids off his lawn.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Oh please, this is arbitrary errand work, but such are the requests of the aged. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Yes, yes, I'm an old man that's getting fussy. Call me foolish if you will, I don't care.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Where are they? How many men?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: They are not that far northeast of here. There is usually five in the area, as far as I can see. The Captain of the lot is the one that earned my ire. Mishandle my garden, will he? Hmph!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Why would you want to join up with me?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: You presumably have a ship. I've seen all I wish to here. Isn't that enough? I mean, I'm really sick of the trees. And perhaps your destiny might show me something new. You never know.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. Why not just go get rid of them yourself?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Don't talk back to your elders, child. Look, they know me quite well, and are always on alert when I approach. The only way I could get rid of them would be violence, which would eventually lead to trouble for the Wookiees. I want them gone, but with as little fuss as possible. They have already caused enough trouble as it is.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: You still have to do it. Their camp is in the far northeast. Now remember, if I wanted them dead, I'd have done it myself. Find a better way.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. I will look into it.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Good. Return to me here and we will see how you have done. Shoo. Shoo!
Journal Entry Added Jolee's Request
Jolee has offered to join with you and help "remove barriers from your path", but he first wants you to remove the Czerka poachers from the Shadowlands northeast of his camp. He was not pleased that you had agreed to help them hunt.
Journal Entry Added Jolee's Request
Jolee has offered to join with you and help "remove barriers from your path", but he first wants you to remove a group of Czerka poachers from the Shadowlands, northeast of his camp.

If you continue or return to speak to him:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Welcome back. I wonder, have you had much luck? Have you done as I asked?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I have some questions I need answered. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I want to ask you some questions.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: *Sigh* Fine, fine, just be brief.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Can you tell me more about the poachers?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: They are not hard to find. Their camp is to the far northeast. Try to get them to leave without too much fuss. After you finish, I will make it so you can pass the barrier that prevents your access to the lower Shadowlands. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I smell their tach-scent on you. Did you agree to hunt for them? Let me remind you that I do not approve, and you need me. Go to their camp and get rid of them. When you are through, we can proceed to the lower Shadowlands. Not before.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I have made certain the poachers are gone.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I want to ask about you.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Ah, what is there to tell? Jolee Bindo is the crazy old man in the dangerous woods. I'm content with the impression I give.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. But you use a lightsaber in battle. You are a Jedi. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. You muttered something about fighting Sith? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Why have you exiled yourself here?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I follow the Jedi Way and I command the Force, yes, and I suppose that makes me as much a Jedi as anyone… but what of it? Why should being what I am compel me to entertain others with tales of the 'good old days' huh? KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Did I? You have annoyingly good ears. It doesn't matter. Those days are gone. Leave them in their graves. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Why, don't you like what I've done with the place? The creatures here aren't any more treacherous than elsewhere.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I've seen my share of the dark and the light. And frankly, both extremes annoy me. Of course... I have felt the rumblings of change...
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: It's kind of nice to meet a Jedi who isn't all hung up on this light side, dark side stuff. It gets pretty tiring, you know? KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I do not feel the taint of the dark side within you, old man. I sense you are a servant of the light, whether you will admit it or not. KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: I can feel the power of the Force within you, old man, but I do not sense the taint of the dark side. I think you are a servant of the light, despite what you claim.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Perhaps you will be of some assistance to me after all. Let us discuss what you came here for.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You are difficult to deal with. It worries me.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Ah, and it makes you think I may have the taint of the dark side in me, doesn't it? Ooh. Is that what you are wondering, huh? Ooh.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Well, I assure you, I see more grey than dark or light. I'm just a stubborn old man, tired of the foolishness of others.

If you ask about him a second time:

KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Look, we've been through this before. My past is my affair. Get some years behind you and then we'll talk about me. I think you'll agree that we have more important things to discuss, no?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. Have you any knowledge of Star Maps?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I told you my price. After you complete my task I'll make it so you can pass the barriers blocking your goal. That's all I will add on the subject. I saw them put it in, so only I know how to manipulate it. That knowledge will serve me now. Do as I ask.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 5. I've got to get back to my task.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Well hurry up! You don't want to be stuck here as long as I have.

You can ask for information about problems on Kashyyyk, including a lost Wookiee after you learn his name or find his remains:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I need information about problems on Kashyyyk.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Yes, among the Wookiees. Intriguing creatures. I like that they have little patience for bureaucrats. But of course, even here there are hidden things that manipulate.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. What do you know of Chuundar?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Czerka Corporation was smart to put him in power. He's as good at destroying Wookiee culture as dropping corpses full of Ardroxian Flu. Will you work for him or against him, I wonder? I will be interested to see.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You don't have a recommendation?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Uh, sure, how's this: think for yourself. I don't care for politics, and I'm big on letting people figure things out for themselves. The Wookiees have prophesies of deliverance if you ask them, but for now they follow without hesitation. That is their wish.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Have you seen a crazed Wookiee in the Shadowlands?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Maddened with grief, perhaps, but not crazed. I helped him pass to the lower forests where only a Wookiee could follow. Some other matters will determine if you can follow. There is a barrier that… well, we'll talk of that more in a moment.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Do you know a missing Wookiee called Rorworr? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Do you recognize these bowcaster bolts? I found them on a corpse.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: It is a very unfortunate matter. It will end in shame and sorrow. You will find Rorworr down here. And more. I have witnessed a number of happenings, but I have left them for others to sort out. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: On the body of Rorworr, I know. His death will not go unnoticed. I have been wondering how this foolishness would play out. I am no weaponsmith, but someone in the village will be able to identify the owner of that bolt casing. They are very personal items.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You aren't being very helpful.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I wasn't aware I had to be. Look, events like these reveal much about the people involved. I'm well past that introspective tripe. I'm not saying that outside help isn't needed. I just… well… I didn't want to make anyone mad while I didn't have a way off the planet. We'll talk more about that momentarily.

Otherwise, you need to remove the Czerka poachers from the upper Shadowlands before you can proceed to the lower.

Czerka Hunting Ground[edit]

If you take the northeast path from the clearing in which you first encountered Jolee, to the north of his hut, after passing a Wookiee corpse on the west side to the left you'll have a katarn encounter, the composition of which depends on your character level:

Character level
2-11 12-14 15-20
  • Bull Katarn
  • Katarn (2)
  • Dire Katarn
  • Bull Katarn (2)
  • Dire Katarn (2)
  • Bull Katarn (2)
Experience Points (XP) Received: Experience Points (XP) Received:

The path turns east then southeast, where the approach to the Czerka camp is mined:

Awareness Average Flash Mine Detect 30 (10) Demolitions Disable 25 (5) Recover 35 (15)
Awareness Minor Frag Mine Detect 20 (0) Demolitions Disable 20 (0) Recover 30 (10)

As you approach the camp, Commander Dern challenges you:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Who are you, another civil merchant like that core-slime up on the docking ring? This is my territory. I don't make deals and I don't persuade easily, so go back topside. Mess with my profits and I'll see you dead.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Are you the poachers Jolee told me about? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I paid the docking fee. Who cares where I go?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: That crazy old fool is still alive? I suppose he's still upset that we don't all live in little homemade shacks like he chooses. I've got a job to do here, and there's nothing you or that old coot can do about it. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: So you're playing tourist? That isn't smart. The Shadowlands are all business. Mess around and you'll end up dead. That said, if you want to make some credits while you're looking to die, I might have a job for you.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Chuundar has given me permission to be here. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. Are you going to stop me? I go where I want.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: He's got no authority with me. I'm with Czerka Corporation. He's just some pet we keep so the locals stay in line. As long as you don't get in my way, you can wander where you want. I've got a job to do. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Look, I don't care if you want to play tourist down here, but you behave yourself or we'll have a problem. I've got a job to do, and I won't be gentle if you get in my way, understand?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 5. I'm leaving.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Good. I'm not down here to direct traffic.

That response ends the dialog most quickly and allows you to move on. He's accompanied by five guards, each guarding a Czerka sonic device (three on the northeast side and two to the southwest).

You can continue or return to speak with him about tach poaching, and ask questions about the Shadowlands.

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Back again, hmm? Unless you've business with me I suggest you turn around and walk away.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I might be interested in some work.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I want to ask you a few questions. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I have other questions about the Shadowlands.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: If you made it this far you know a fair bit already. What would I be able to tell you?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I'm looking for something called a Star Map. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Is there anything odd down here?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: I'm no nav officer. I work on the ground, and I haven't seen anything like that around here. Of course, we haven't been much deeper than this. The eastern forest gets even more dangerous. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Besides you? Besides any number of predators that can kill in seconds? I suppose there's old Bindo. He's got a camp here somewhere. I'd leave him alone, though. Anyone who'd live down here is just plain crazy. There's not much else. We've got a repulsor field to the east so not much passes through here now.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You aren't safe with blasters?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: It's not worth it. You're fighting the plants as well as the animals. Kshyy vines are tough as metal, and grow back fast. Instead, head office installed repulsor fields to keep the big predators out. Permanent placements too. We'll be fine for years.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Are you part of the slaving operation?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: What? No, I don't do much of that. It's too much of a headache. I'm in the business of harvesting animals. Some of the more exotic species have organs that can be removed and put to some surprising applications.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Talk to me about work and maybe I'll tell you more. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: I've already told you about that. You agreed to help bring them in.

You can also speak to any of the guards.

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: You want anything you'll have to talk to the commander. He's in charge of our harvesting here.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I'd rather ask about you. Why are you here? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I asked you! You'll answer my questions!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: Why am I here? I'm here because this is where the Commander told me to stand. And that's all there is to it. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: Okay, okay, there's no need to get like that. The Commander just prefers everyone to go through him first.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: I'm just a guard for this emitter. Why couldn't they have just equipped this lump of tech with a blaster and left me at home?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I want to ask you some questions. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I want to go back to my other questions.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: I'm not here because I know stuff. I handle a blaster well enough to guard this emitter, and that's it. Talk to the Commander.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I'm leaving.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: Good. I don't want any trouble.

If Jolee has already made his request, asking the following of Commander Dern or one of his guards will indicate how it can be fulfilled:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. If the Shadowlands are so dangerous, how do you survive?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: It ain't easy. We've set up a perimeter of sonic emitters to keep the bigger preds away. It's worked so far. As long as the emitters are operational, we're pretty much safe. It makes harvesting a lot easier.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. What do these emitters do?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: They generate a sonic barrier that allows us to stay in this wonderful location. It keeps the big predators away. I don't know how it works, really. I just know that if they go down, the camp would be overrun.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. So only the emitters are keeping you here?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: What of it?
Journal Entry Added Jolee's Request
Jolee wants you to remove a group of poachers before he will help you. Speaking with the poachers you have learned that the camp is protected from hostile creatures by sonic emitters. Each emitter is assigned a Czerka guard to watch over it. It might be possible to persuade or bribe the guards into helping shut down the protective field the emitters produce.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. What if I want you to leave the Shadowlands?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Is that old hermit Jolee trying to talk you into doing his dirty work? We've spent too much on setting up just to walk away. As long as the sonic emitters keep the preds away and I've got bodies to guard the perimeter, we're staying right here. I mean, if I can put up with my own worthless guards complaining about this place, Jolee whining through you is nothing.
Journal Entry Added Jolee's Request
Jolee wants you to remove a group of poachers before he will help you. Speaking with the poachers you have learned that the camp is protected from hostile creatures by sonic emitters. Each emitter is assigned a Czerka guard to watch over it. The officer in charge also said that as long as he has enough guards he would stay. It might be possible to persuade or bribe the guards into helping shut down the protective field the emitters produce. Another option might be to try and convince guards to leave, although that would likely require Force manipulation.

Jolee would prefer a peaceful solution, which can be achieved by persuading or bribing two guards to give you the code to their emitters. However, do not bother bribing them since Persuasion is always successful with > 9 Charisma (so even with 8 Charisma, anyone can succeed after any Jedi in the party uses Force Valor).

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Let's talk about the emitter you're guarding.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: What do you want to know about that? It's just one of five or so sonic emitters protecting the camp.
Always 1. [Persuade] So , if someone shut them down, you could leave.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: [Failure] It's "friendly" people like you that recruited me into this mess. I'm keeping an eye on you, that's for sure.
Always 1. [Persuade] So , if someone shut them down, you could leave. link=Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic}}/Force powers#Affect Mind 2. [Force Persuade] Tell me how to shut down the emitters.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: [Success] I don't like being here, that's for sure. I suppose you could… take this code and shut down the emitter I'm guarding.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Maybe you could help me shut it down? For, say, 200 credits?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: That sounds like a fair deal to me. Here, use this code to access the one I'm guarding.
KotOR Icon Credits.png Credits Lost: 200 * Guard (0-2)
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: Enough of those emitters go down and the camp will have to move out. But I never said anything.

Once you have two codes, you can use them to shut down the corresponding emitters.

Alternatively, you can move (much) closer to the dark side of the Force by affecting the minds of the guards to make them leave.

Guard: [Success] I… I really need to get out of here. It's too dangerous!

Commander Dern uses his Energy Shield and guns down the deserter.

Deserter! Traitor! I'll make an example of you!

After the first is killed, you won't be able to persuade the others to follow his example without dominating their minds.

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: What do you want? I don't want to get on the commander's bad side, so just leave me alone.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. This is a dangerous place. Could I persuade you to leave?

KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Hey, why'd you have to do that? That was just mean! KotOR Icon HK-47.png HK-47: Statement: Well done, master. You're my kind of owner!

Once all five guards have deserted and been gunned down, their commander has no choice but to leave.

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Well that's just great! I don't have the men to keep this location safe! I'll be back, though! There's money here!
Experience Points (XP) Received:

Otherwise, you can move closest to the dark side of the Force by persuading all but one guard to leave, then provoking a fight with the commander.

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. You're just a Czerka slaver. Nothing special. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Maybe you should just pay me so I don't shut you down. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. This wholesale slaughter can't be allowed!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: I don't need this kind of garbage from you. Watch your mouth. I'm the only law there is down here. If you've got something to say, get on with it. Otherwise, leave me alone. I've credits to earn. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: I'm warning you, I didn't get this job because of my sense of humor. You smart mouth me again and we'll have a problem. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: I'm hard-pressed to come up with a way for you to stop me. I'll defend this operation if I have to.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Hell, I have guards everywhere and a perimeter of sonic emitters. I don't fear anything in the Shadowlands, including you.

Any two of those responses will provoke the commander, as will the following:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I should just kill you. No one will ever know.
Dark Side Points Gained: -4
Commander Dern: All right, I'm done talking with you. You've got under my skin one too many times! I'll bury you down here!
KotOR Icon Canderous.png Canderous: Just you try it.

Alternatively, you can provoke a fight with the remaining guard(s).

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Quit your whining and answer my questions! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. You'll answer what I tell you to answer! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. That isn't good enough. I need more, or else. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You'll do as I say or you'll regret it.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Guard: Are you threatening me? Unless you want a fight with all of us I'd suggest you change your tone. Besides, enough things down here want to kill me. I don't need to add you to the list.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. That's too bad. I'm going to kill you all!
Dark Side Points Gained: -4

Only Commander Dern needs to be killed to fulfill Jolee's request. He uses his energy shield if he hasn't done so already.

Once the poachers have been removed from the Czerka camp at Jolee's request, he will join your group.

Dialog

If the poachers were removed non-violently:

KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Yes, I could feel it as you walked near. And I don't sense the smell of death on you. You spared them? Interesting.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. There was nothing to gain by killing them. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Enough. Have I passed your little test?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Wasn't there? I suppose not, but the environment would say otherwise, if it could talk. No matter. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: If you imagined a meaning behind it, I suppose that's good, but I don't think such a trivial thing is any real measure of a person.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. If you didn't care about the outcome, why have me do this?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: You were here and it needed doing. Besides, dealing with the Czerka is dirty business. I hope you washed your hands.

If the poachers were removed violently, before speaking to Jolee:

KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Yes, I heard the fuss of it. I told you I wanted a non-violent solution, and I had my reasons for it. You should have thought about that.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Czerka Corporation will find the bodies and blame the Wookiees. This may cause more troops to be deployed. That means more disruption. I'm not pleased, but what's done is done and I'm not here to judge you. Hopefully you'll take care of that yourself.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I couldn't find a peaceful solution. I regret that. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. Funny, I didn't picture you as the "disapproving master" type.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Well, perhaps I have a duty to point out what you should have learned from this. Or perhaps… no. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: You're pretty much right, really. Truth be known, I won't judge how you fared... as long as you can LIVE WITH YOURSELF!
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Was that convincing? It's been a while since I've been in the company of someone that needed that kind of babysitting.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. It was the most efficient way to stop them.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I see. You are completely detached. Are you sure you're not a droid? It doesn't matter. A trivial thing like this is no measure of anyone.

If the poachers were removed violently, your response to Jolee can move you even closer to the dark side of the Force.

Dark Side Points Gained: -2
3. I kill what I want. Don't argue with me, old man.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Oh, go bark up a tree. You'll get the same response out of me. Besides, I'm not about to get in the habit of grading you.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You aren't going to tell me what I should have learned?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: A good teacher, and I'm not saying I am one, but a good teacher doesn't mash a book in a student's face shouting "learn this bit here!" If you can't look at the situation for yourself and see the logic behind my way of doing things, you're not the type to understand me anyway. Besides, you're a little old for that master/student fuss, aren't you? I know I am.

Regardless of how the poachers were removed:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You mentioned barriers. There's a repulsor field I want to pass.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Yes, yes, in the east past the poacher camp. I saw it when it was installed. It's a very effective barrier, but I know how to get past it.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Will you help me find the Star Map now? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. You mentioned eliminating barriers? Could we get to it?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Yes, of course. Let's get moving. I noticed the old paths some time ago. You probably wouldn't have found them on your own. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I know where you want to go. I can get you through to the old paths. This forest hides some strange things.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: There's also a Czerka repulsor field blocking the way, past the poacher camp in the east. I saw it when it was installed, so I know how to pass it.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: And on the other side... ancient answers. And perhaps a Wookiee you were seeking. I hope he's in the mood for visitors.

Once Jolee's request to remove the poachers from the Czerka camp has been fulfilled and he's added to your party, he can remove it and take you through.

Dialog
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: There, you see? Beautifully subtle, isn't it? At least, compared to other Czerka equipment dumped down here. It's only been here a short while, or the Wookiees would have disabled it. They wouldn't have had an easy time of it, though. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Jolee: Here we are again. Shall I bypass the field so we may pass?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Why place this thing here?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: There are others, each blocking similar points on certain paths. It is all very calculated. Very precise. It would have been effective if it hadn't relied on the creatures to be walking. Climbers don't have much trouble getting around it.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Whatever. Just shut it down.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: You aren't going to ask about it? A repulsor field in the woods and you have no interest?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Very well. Why did Czerka put this here?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I think it was an attempt to block the more dangerous carnivores from wandering freely, but it's not very effective. It limits us non-climbers, but the creatures of Kashyyyk are very adaptable. You'll see why when we reach your goal.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Just shut it down. I'll worry about it later. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I trust you can get past it? You said so. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Yes. Get us past the field.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: All right then, uh, how did it go... KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I can manipulate it for a moment. Let me see... how did the Czerka engineers do it...
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Ahh, there we go. Now keep moving. These are the most dangerous depths of Kashyyyk. A few surprises wait for us, I'll wager.

You go through to the lower Shadowlands beyond.

Tach Poaching[edit]

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: I could use an extra hand. A couple men have gone missing. If I lose many more I'll have to close up shop. We are hunting the little simians, the tach. They have a gland that acts as a stimulant when powdered. I figure I've got two or three wealthy years to butcher the lot of them. You want in before I make them extinct?

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. What does the job pay?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: I really can't quote a price. Depends on the market. I give fair value for each one, rest assured. That promise will have to do.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Don't you care that you could wipe out the whole species?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Uh, no. I'll be rich by then, and won't need to do it anymore. I don't have to worry about it. Besides, if there's no more tach, the predators that eat them will die off and we'll have an easier time milking this planet.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I have more questions about the job.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: Hurry up, I'm wasting too much time on you as it is.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I want the job. How do I hunt these tach?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Commander Dern: All right then, I'll set you up. First you need to be able to draw them out. It's easy. I'll spray you with this scent… it drives them crazy. They can't help but attack you, even if it's a hopeless fight. Then you just carve them up. There's a big fleshy bulb in their brains that you want to scoop out. You can't miss it. I'd feel guilty if the money weren't so good. Come back here when you've got the glands and I'll pay you.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 5. Back to my general questions, all right?

Wookiee Lost[edit]

There's a Wookiee corpse on the west side of the northeast path leading to the Czerka hunting ground.

Item(s) Received Wookiee Corpse
  • Slaver Contract
  • Bowcaster
  • Bowcaster Bolt Casing
Experience Points (XP) Received:
  • 200 Acquired slaver contract and bowcaster bolt casing
Journal Entry Added A Wookiee Lost
You have found the corpse of a Wookiee called Rorworr in the Shadowlands. A datapad revealing that he dealt with slavers was on the body, as well as a bowcaster bolt casing that probably belongs to whoever killed him.

You can look at the slaver contract in your inventory:

This datapad card contains a contract to trade weapons for slaves, and a manifest of goods already delivered. It would seem that Rorworr had sold a number of Wookiees previously, and intended to do so again.

You can also look at the bowcaster bolt casing:

This bolt casing was abandoned next to Rorworr's corpse, likely by whoever killed him. Bowcasters and the accompanying bolt casings are very personal items among the Wookiees, and are adorned with traditional family symbols and other identifying marks. It is possible the owner of this one could be identified by a knowledgeable Wookiee.

When you return to the village of Rwookrrorro you can go to Woorwill's home to ask Woorwill and Jaarak about the bolt casing, although this isn't necessary and you can go straight to Worrroznor, the Holder of the Laws, to do so: however, if you kill Freyyr in the lower Shadowlands (moving (much) closer to the dark side of the Force) before returning, then this becomes impossible. This quest will still be completed, but without moving closer to the light or dark side of the Force, or receiving a reward or any more experience (although no experience is received for any part of this quest completed after killing Freyyr upon your return either).

Journal Entry Added A Wookiee Lost
The village of Rwookrrorro has been sealed off by Czerka Corporation and Chuundar. You have been excluded from any further village business. If the fate of any previously missing Wookiees is still considered important, that investigation will fall to someone other than you.

Honest Debt[edit]

A broken droid lies at the junction of the path to the south of Jolee's hut.

The scrambled memory of the malfunctioning droid found in the Shadowlands reveals the violent last moments of its companions. Someone named Eli ambushed the group, and the victims also mentioned an absent comrade named Matton. Some sort of disputed debt may have sparked the incident. If it could be salvaged from the droid, this recording might be of interest to someone.

If you have spoken to Eli, or you then ask what happened to it:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. What happened to you?

It plays back the cause of malfunction again.

Journal Entry Added Honest Debt
The scrambled memory of the malfunctioning droid found in the Shadowlands reveals the violent last moments of its companions. They were ambushed, but identified their attacker as Eli, the merchant you met on docking ring. It appears he has not told the truth about these creditors that supposedly skipped-out on paying him. If it could be salvaged from the droid, Matton would likely be very interested in this recording.
Experience Points (XP) Received:
  • 113 Asked broken droid what happened to it

Although doing either of these things will unlock new dialog with Eli when you return to him, it's better to salvage the droid's head as well.

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I'll scrap you and take what I can.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Broken Droid: Shutting down… primary systems… failing…
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. [You start with the droid's head, removing it and placing it in your pack. An energy discharge flows through the remaining parts.]

The energy discharge inflicts 10 points of universal damage (on Normal) to your party.

Item(s) Received Broken Droid
  • Droid Head

Replaying the last memory of this damaged droid reveals that it and its owners were the victims of an ambush by someone named Eli. The name "Matton" was also mentioned.

You should return to Eli before returning Bacca's blade to Freyyr in the lower Shadowlands if you plan to side with him against Chuundar (moving (much) closer to the light side of the Force), as he and Matton will be gone afterwards. This quest will still be completed, but without moving closer to the light or dark side of the Force, or receiving any more experience or a reward.

Journal Entry Added Honest Debt
The newfound courage of the Wookiees has put a premature end to whatever business Matton and Eli had between them.

Genoharadan: Rulan[edit]

The east fork of the path to the south of Jolee's hut leads to a katarn encounter, the composition of which depends on your character level:

The path then turns south and ends in a clearing with two corpses with random contents, and another katarn encounter:

The west fork of the path also turns south. Once you've proven yourself worthy of the Genoharadan by completing a mission, there's a Wookiee corpse on the west side of the path as it turns south; otherwise, there's only a corpse with random contents a little further south.

Item(s) Received Wookiee Corpse
  • Datapad

This datapad appears to be a diary or record of some kind. The final entry is of particular interest:
"We were fools to come down here, all of us. How can we hope to capture an enemy that can assume any shape, any form?

To the south is a clearing, in which there appears to be a Wookiee named Grarwwaar standing by a campfire. If you speak to him:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Grarwwaar: Why do you disturb me, human? Grarwwaar comes to the Shadowlands to get away from your kind.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I want to ask you some questions. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I'm sorry. I'll be going now.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Grarwwaar: I am no slave, human! I am Grarwwaar, a free Wookiee. I do not answer to you.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Grarwwaar: Leave me be, human. Return to the village in the tree tops. The Shadowlands is no place for your kind.

If you found the datapad on the Wookiee corpse, you'll know there's more to him than meets the eye:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. According to a datapad I found, Grarwwaar is dead!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Grarwwaar: So you have uncovered my little secret. No matter, this body has grown tiresome to me. Maybe I can find one more to your liking, human.

He shifts into the form of Jolee Bindo, then attacks:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Rulan Prolik: Got something on your mind, do you?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. That's... that's impossible! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Your tricks don't fool me, Rulan! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Enough games, Rulan. Time to die.

He's immune to Force Push and Whirlwind and cannot be knocked back and down, but Force Wave can still damage and stun him. Once at least 200 damage has been inflicted, your party is knocked back and down again as he shifts into the form of a Tach and runs off to the northeast, so quickly that you might lose him. He can be found in the clearing at the end of the path to the northeast of Jolee hut, which is also the site of yet another katarn encounter:

Several Tachs run about the clearing. Speak to the Tach who walks instead to find Rulan:
