Davik’s estate map

Escaping Taris

A ship you later learn is the Leviathan, the flagship of the Sith fleet, orbits Taris ominously… on board, Admiral Saul Karath approaches Darth Malak on the bridge as he looks down on Taris below:

Meanwhile, back on Taris itself Canderous has taken you to meet the crime lord Davik Kang on his estate. He greets you in his throne room (seriously), accompanied by Calo Nord:

Dialog

His tour ends in the guest wing:

There's a footlocker with random contents by the north wall of your room, and a standard door in its south wall. Looking at the map, you'll see the guest wing is in the east of the estate, with the throne room to the west and the hangar to the southwest.

Beyond your room is the west end of a corridor, ending in a standard door beyond which is the throne room. In the south wall opposite are two low security doors, with another in the north wall to your left:

	Low Security Door	Unlock	12 (0)		Resist	5	Vitality	20

Beyond the door immediately opposite, you interrupt a bounty hunter with a slave:

Dialog

You can try to persuade him not to call the guards (a bribe obviously makes it easier):

1. [Persuade] No need to call the guards – I just got lost.

2. [Persuade] Sorry I wrecked your night. Here's 50 credits for the inconvenience.

Credits Lost: 50

Surprisingly, he doesn't object if you then search the footlocker in the southeast corner for its random contents. If you speak again, fail or don't even try to persuade him, he'll attack you and call a guard from the storage barracks (unless there are no longer any guards there, in which case they may come from the next nearest).

He starts by using his Sith Energy Shield.

Next door to the east is Davik's trophy room with animal heads mounted on wall, including a Rancor head on the south wall. The footlocker in the southwest corner is locked:

	Footlocker	Unlock	15 (0)		Resist	5	Vitality	30

You can read about one of Calo Nord's exploits by selecting the datapad in your inventory:

Datapad

This datapad contains a record of Calo Nord's trophy kills... sentient and otherwise. The last entry is an account of a recent Rancor hunt. "What the Rancor lacked in intelligence it made up for in size, strength and ferocity. Conventional blasters were all but useless against its impenetrable hide, and I was forced to resort to more unorthodox methods to bring the beast down. Some well placed mines near a watering hole were the first step, their explosions herding the creature into a dead-end canyon where I lay in wait, perched among the rocks. As soon as the Rancor was below me, I dropped down onto its massive neck. It reared back, bucking and clawing in an effort to dislodge me, but I had the perfect position. Unable to shake me, the monster opened its mouth in an outraged howl, and I was able to flip several frag grenades down its gaping maw. The explosion blew me clear of the shredded corpse, but luckily the head was still intact. If I take it to Taris, I'm sure Davik will mount it in his trophy room along with the other heads I have collected for him. Davik's also expressed interest in hiring me. I may take him up on his offer, even though I still have yet to claim the greatest hunting trophy of all: a pearl from one of the Krayt Dragons of Tatooine."

The footlocker in the southeast corner is also locked:

	Footlocker	Unlock	20 (0)		Resist	10	Vitality	40

Opposite the trophy room is your next-door neighbor, a Rodian, who isn't as hostile as the bounty hunter:

Dialog

Like the bounty hunter, he doesn't object if you then search the footlocker in the northwest corner for its random contents. Alternatively, you can attack or threaten him to move closer to the dark side of the Force, and he'll call another guard from the storage barracks:

3. Time to die, bug-face! Dark Side Points Gained: -2

2. Answer my questions or I'll carve my initials in your skull with my blaster bolts! Dark Side Points Gained: -2

The corridor to the east turns north and ends in a standard door, beyond which are the slave quarters Davik mentioned. Three Twi'lek slaves, one male and two female, are within, and there is a footlocker by the north wall with random contents. You can speak to the slaves to ask them for information or a massage:

Dialog

If you speak to a slave of the same sex as your character: Otherwise:

Threatening always works and bribery never does, but you can also try persuasion:

1. [Persuade] Tell me what I want to know and I'll tell Davik how pleased I was with your performance.

If persuasion fails, you can also ask for a massage then express disappointment to get some information:

Dialog

{{KotOR Dialog Icon=Dialog Name=Slave: Dialog=As you wish, master. {{KotOR Dialog Icon=Dialog Name=Slave: Dialog=As you wish, mistress.

The slave now tells you about the unfortunate Hudrow, and points you in the direction of the throne room and torture chamber "guest" room to the west:

Dialog

Throne Room

You enter the throne room from the guest wing through a standard door in its east wall in the southeast corner. There are three other standard doors exiting.

Canderous takes a moment to contemplate the life choices which led to him working for a man who built his own throne room.

The most direct route to the hangar is beyond the door in the south wall in the southeast, where a long empty corridor ends in a standard door to the west, beyond which is the hangar barracks containing a security terminal which can be used to disable hangar security. This can take up to 10 Computer Spikes in total.

Beyond the door in the west wall in the northwest corner is the south end of a corridor leading to the torture chamber "guest" room to the north (past doors to the spice lab and its barracks), about which the slaves in their quarters may have told you. This is the route you should take if you aren't willing or able to use Computer Spikes to disable hangar security.

Beyond the door in the north wall in the northeast corner is the throne room barracks, leading to the storage barracks. If any of the other guests called for a guard, this door will already be open (as will that to the storage barracks).

Barracks (Hangar)

Exiting the throne room to the south and going down the corridor to the west and you'll enter the hangar barracks through a standard door in its northeast corner. There's a table seating eight in the middle and three guards, chosen randomly from Rodian, Duros, Quara or "walrusman", and 'droid':

Guards in the throne room, storage and spice lab barracks, and the spice lab itself, are the same as these.

There's a security terminal by the north wall, which must be used to disable hangar security:

Dialog

If you have the computer passcard from the remains of the bounty hunter patrolling the corridor outside the torture chamer "guest" room, then you can access without needing Computer Spikes; if you released Hudrow from the torture cage and spoke to him to get the codes to disable the Ebon Hawk's security system, then you don't need them to disable hangar security either (although you'll receive none of the experience that you would have if you had used them). Now you're ready to open the standard door in the south wall, beyond which is the hangar to the east.

Gassing the guards in all the barracks can spare you from a lot of combat, but at the expense of Computer Spikes (up to 20 in total). Opening all security doors will unlock, but not actually open, all low security doors in the estate.

"Guest" Room

Exit the throne room through the standard door in the west wall in the northwest corner to find yourself at the south end of a corridor patrolled by a Trandoshan bounty hunter:

Bounty Hunter
Model	Alignment 50 (Neutral) Class Soldier Level 9 Skills Awareness 2 Treat Injury 2	Attributes Strength 16 +3 Dexterity 18 +4 Constitution 14 +2 Intelligence 10 0 Wisdom 15 +2 Charisma 12 +1	Attributes Vitality 93 Force 0 Defense 14 Fortitude 8 Reflex 7 Will 5	Ranged Main Off hand Attack 13 - Physical 1-6 - Threat 20-20,x2 - Melee Attack 12 - Physical 5-15 - Threat 19-20,x2 -
Items	Feats		Force powers
+			None

The bounty hunter starts by using an Energy Shield.

You can look at the computer passcard by selecting it in your inventory:

This seems to be a standard keycard for use at secure terminals. Most likely, this one is designed to Davik's computer system.

This allows you to access the security terminals in the hanger barracks and throne room barracks without using Computer Spikes.

There are three doors in the west wall of the corridor: two standard doors to the spice lab and its barracks, and a low security door in the northwest corner, beyond which is another guest room. The corridor turns to the east and in its north wall is a standard door, beyond which is the "guest" room torture chamber, where you'll find two torture droids:

Torture Droid
Model	Alignment 50 (Neutral) Class Combat Droid Level 9 Skills Awareness 102 Repair 4	Attributes Strength 10 0 Dexterity 16 +3 Constitution 10 0 Intelligence 10 0 Wisdom 15 +2 Charisma 12 +1	Attributes Vitality 90 Force 0 Defense 17 Fortitude 6 Reflex 6 Will 5	Ranged Main Off hand Attack 12 - Energy 1-8 - Threat 19-20,x2 - Melee Attack - - Damage - - Threat - -

Beware of their special weapons: both have DC 20, and if you fail to make a Will save against the Advanced Stun Ray then you'll be debilitated for 9 seconds, while failing to make a Fortitude save against the Advanced Flame Thrower will do likewise for 3 seconds... although it can damage for 60 points if you fail to make a Reflex save. Consequently attacking and killing them from range is recommended.

Hudrow is in the torture cage in the northeast corner, although he's unable to speak until you've used the cage release in the northwest corner:

Dialog

You can move closer to the dark side of the Force indefinitely by alternating between the following responses:

	3. You better come up with more of a reward if you want to walk out of here alive!
	Dark Side Points Gained: -2

You can move even closer to the dark side of the Force by killing him:

	3. You might warn the guards. I better just kill you.
	Dark Side Points Gained: -4

Otherwise, you can let him go, change your mind after Bastila's intervention or have it taken out of your hands by Carth:

The codes allow you to disable hangar security from the security terminal in the hanger barracks (or throne room barracks) without using Computer Spikes, giving you access to the hangar.

Hangar

Beyond the standard door in the south wall of the hangar barracks is an intersection with a standard door in the south wall, beyond which is the east end of a long, empty corridor to the west which turns north and ends at the standard door in the southwest corner of the spice lab. To the east is the hangar bay door. If you haven't disabled hangar security from the security terminal in the hangar barracks (or throne room barracks), then it is locked and impossible to open:

	Hangar Bay Door	Unlock	100 (80)		Resist	-	Vitality	-

You will need to find a computer panel to disable the security system on this door.

Otherwise, make sure you have done everything you want to do in the estate before opening it, because it will close and lock behind you:

Calo Nord and Davik Kang are now the only thing standing between you and escaping Taris in the Ebon Hawk.

They're both standing far enough away that you'll have to approach them to engage in combat, which means you can take your time to prepare.

Calo Nord
Model	Alignment 50 (Neutral) Class Soldier Level 14 Skills Awareness 20 Treat Injury 0	Attributes Strength 19 +4 Dexterity 18 +4 Constitution 14 +2 Intelligence 14 +2 Wisdom 10 0 Charisma 10 0	Attributes Vitality 144 Force 0 Defense 19 Fortitude 11 Reflex 8 Will 4	Ranged Main Off hand Attack 19 17 Energy 3-10 3-10 Threat 20-20,x2 20-20,x2 Melee Attack - - Damage - - Threat - -

Calo Nord's Retinal Combat Implant gives him Immunity: Critical Hits, which also makes him immune to sneak attacks while debilitated. His Sonic Nullifiers have Damage Resistance: Resist 10/- vs. Sonic, which will half the damage of Sonic Grenades if his Will save fails, and result in no damage at all if it succeeds.

Davik Kang
Model	Alignment 50 (Neutral) Class Scoundrel Level 14 Skills Awareness 20 Treat Injury 2	Attributes Strength 14 +2 Dexterity 16 +3 Constitution 10 0 Intelligence 10 0 Wisdom 15 +2 Charisma 12 +1	Attributes Vitality 124 Force 0 Defense 27 Fortitude 7 Reflex 15 Will 9	Ranged Main Off hand Attack 14 - Energy 3-10 - Threat 20-20,x2 - Melee Attack 12 - Physical 4-14 - Threat 19-20,x2 -
Items	Feats		Force powers
+			None

Davik Kang starts by using his Arkanian Energy Shield, absorbing 40 points of energy, sonic, cold, heat or electrical damage. He will always save against Frag, Ion and Plasma Grenades, halving their damage; furthermore, Davik's War Suit has Damage Resistance: Resist 10/- vs. Fire, which would reduce damage from the latter to just 8 (so Frag Grenades are actually better).

Combat ends when Calo Nord is reduced to 50% Vitality or less, or you kill Davik Kang. Even if this weren't the case, Calo would still be the weaker of the two, and you should focus fire on him. However, do not turn your back on Davik as he has Sneak Attack VI, adding 6-36 to his attack if you do so. Also be wary of being debilitated by Calo Nord's Master Sniper Shot in conjunction with this: Bastila is granted Force Immunity: Stun at level 6, T3-M4 is immune as a droid, and Canderous and one other member of your party can equip items with Immunity: Mind-Affecting if you found and upgraded or bought them on Taris...

Rubble from the roof buries Calo Nord, and Davik Kang is killed if he you haven't already done so:

Even though the Sith orbital lasers are now firing through the ceiling, doing up to 20 points of universal damage (on Normal), it's worth getting the items from Davik's remains:

Once you've done so, run to the boarding ramp of the Ebon Hawk':

[Do you wish to board the Ebon Hawk?]

In the Leviathan overhead, Admiral Saul Karath approaches Darth Malak on its bridge:

As the bombardment resumes and Taris is in flames, you finally escape Taris in the Ebon Hawk!
