At the temple summit, you need to use the Ancient Computer to the west to shut down the Temple energy shield so you can leave once you return to its Main Level, and shut down the planetary disruptor field so you can leave this world once you return to the Ebon Hawk.

However, Bastila stands in your way, with the most significant alignment shift in the game: even with opposing Mastery you can become neutral, and if already neutral then you must move closer to the light or dark side of the Force. This choice, and only this choice, affects whether the Republic or the Sith prevail, with you defeating Bastila and Darth Malak on the Star Forge or replacing him as the Dark Lord of the Sith with her at your side.

Once you've left the temple you can return to the Elder Settlement and Rakatan Settlement for any unfinished business, and meet your party on the Central Beach before using the Ebon Hawk to travel to the Star Forge. If you've returned to the dark side then this encounter is particularly significant: although Bastila has returned, between the summit and the beach you can lose up to five other members of your party... hopefully you roleplayed a self-reliant Sith...

Map of the summit of the Temple of the Ancients

The massive door in the north wall behind you closes as you enter from the main floor below:

Security Massive Door Unlock 100 (80) Bash Resist - Vitality -
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Hold on - you have to disable the energy shield around this Temple before we can leave. I saw a computer up here. It might be connected to the power generators of this place. And if you don't disable the disruptor field protecting the Star Forge, the Ebon Hawk won't be able to leave the planet without crashing.

You're in a room on the east side of the summit, with three plasteel cylinders by the east wall in its southeast corner and an exit to the summit in the west wall of its southwest corner.

Bastila

Out in the sunshine on the summit, you'll see someone standing in the shade of the short tunnel connecting the two circular spaces to the west. Prepare for combat and save game. As you start to cross the first space, that someone is revealed to be Bastila:

KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Revan - I knew you'd come for me. Malak thought you might be afraid to enter the Temple again, but he doesn't know you like I do. Not anymore. Not since you've changed.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: Quickly, Bastila - come with us! We have to escape before Malak arrives! KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Come on, Bastila. We have to escape before Malak shows up!
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Escape? You don't understand. I have sworn allegiance to Lord Malak and the Sith; I am no longer a pawn of the Jedi Council.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. No, Bastila! Don't go over to the dark side! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. A pawn of the Jedi Council? What are you talking about?
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You say that as if the dark side is some terrible entity. The Jedi Council has brainwashed you like all the others. Like they once did with me. KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Surely you know what I mean, Revan. Look at what the Council did to you; they turned you into their puppet. The same thing they do to all who are truly strong in the Force.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: They speak of the dark side as if it something to be feared. But in reality their only goal is to manipulate those who are strong in the Force. The fear of the dark side is a tool to maintain control. Why do you think the Jedi forbid you and Malak from joining the Mandalorian Wars? They knew you would realize your true potential and break free of their domination. Malak has shown me how the Jedi Council have been using me the same way they once tried to use you. They've been holding me back because they knew one day I would surpass them all.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. No - I don't believe it! How could you betray us like this, Bastila? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. It's not too late, Bastila! You can still turn away from the dark side! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. It didn't take long to convert you, did it? I always knew you were weak!
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: I resisted at first. I endured the Sith torments with the passionless serenity of a true Jedi, emptying my mind. But after a week of endless tortures I finally saw the truth. Malak forced me to acknowledge my anger and pain. He showed me the liberating power of these emotions. Then he made me see how the Jedi Council has denied me what is mine by right! The Jedi Council gladly used my Battle Meditation in their wars, but they still treated me like a child - like an inferior. They were jealous of my power... of what I could become! They wanted me to bow and call them Master and follow their Code and obey their every order. But all the while they were exploiting my Battle Meditation for their own use!
1. Don't do this, Bastila! Fight it! I'll help you! 2. I like this side of you, Bastila. Now we can truly be together.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You are a sad little fool. You speak as if I were the same Bastila that you've known all along. But freed from the control of the Jedi Council I've become much, much more. KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You think so, do you? You style yourself the Master of the Sith that you once were? To think I once envied you your passion, your power.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: I almost wish you could see things as I do now. I wish you could join me and taste true power once again. Sadly, I doubt you are even capable any longer.

Otherwise:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Don't be lured in by these Sith lies, Bastila! Dark Side Points Gained: -2
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Lies? You are the one living a lie, Revan. The Jedi Council made you into something you are not; they programmed you to be their slave. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I am Revan, the Dark Lord! Bow down to me, Bastila! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. If you've fallen under Malak's control you must die!
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You used to be Revan, Master of the Sith, but no longer. You are simply a pawn of the Jedi Council and the Republic they serve... like I was until Malak freed me from their shackles!
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: A pity the power you once had is so diluted in you. You could have been strong as I am now... stronger, even. But that will never happen, now.

In any case:

KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: With the power of the Star Forge Malak will destroy the Republic and conquer the galaxy. And I will be the apprentice at his side - after I prove my worth by killing you!

Once you've reduced her to 50% Vitality (most simply achieved with one failed save against Kill), she uses Force Wave and dialog resumes:

KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You are stronger than I would have thought possible, after what the Jedi Council did to you. Seems that Malak was wrong - the power of the dark side is not lost to you after all, Revan.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I draw my power from the light now, Bastila. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Don't call me that. I'm not Revan anymore. I'm Name now.
Light Side Points Gained: +2
Dialog
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You can deny what you are, Revan, but you are only fooling yourself. I know the truth. I have seen the shadows inside your mind. Remember: I was there when you nearly died in the trap set by the Jedi Council. I used the Force to preserve your life, Revan. We are forever linked by my actions on that bridge!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. That is how I know you will come back to the light. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. There is no link between us, Bastila! Not anymore! 3. We are linked by more than just a bond, Bastila.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: These are not your true feelings, Revan. You are speaking as a tool of the Jedi Council - as I once did. But now I see how the Jedi used us both! KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Our bond is not easily broken, Revan. Even when your mind was destroyed and reprogrammed with a new identity the bond between us endured. KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Do not mistake the power of the Force for love, Revan. It does not exist. Power is what forged our bond, and power is what made us both tools of the Jedi Council!
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: The Council tried to exploit the bond between us. They hoped I would draw out your memories to lead them to the Star Forge. We were slaves to their will - like all who follow the Jedi Code! But in our shared visions of the Star Maps I also felt the so called taint within you. I resisted it at first, but now I embrace the power of the dark side - your dark side!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Now you see the power of the true Dark Lord! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Learn from my mistakes. It is not too late to come back to the light! 2. No! This isn't the Bastila I knew!
Dark Side Points Gained: -2
Dialog
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Yes, Revan! I was there when you almost died in the trap set by the Jedi Council; I used the Force to preserve your life. We are forever linked by my actions on that bridge. The Council tried to exploit our bond. They hoped your memories would lead me to the Star Forge. But in our shared visions of the Star Maps I also tasted the power of the taint within you! KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Mistakes? No, Revan - the only mistake you are making is the one you are making now! You deny yourself the power that is yours by right! Only now do I realize how strong you are. KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Of course not! I have been reborn in the wake of destiny... *your* destiny! The power of the dark side is yours by right!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. What are you saying, Bastila? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. If I am so powerful, then why do you serve another master? 4. Then why don't we join our power together, as it was meant to be?
Dark Side Points Gained: -2
Dialog
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You deserve to be the true Master of the Sith, not Malak. I see this now. Together we can destroy your old apprentice. Join with me and reclaim your lost identity!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I'm not Revan anymore. I don't even remember those days. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. How can I reclaim my identity if I can't even remember it?
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Your mind was too badly damaged to ever fully restore your memories, Revan. But your power, your strength of will, the essence of who and what you are: these things still remain! Once long ago you defied the Jedi Council, freeing yourself from their control. You claimed your rightful title of Dark Lord of the Sith. Together we can defeat Malak and take back what is yours!
1. Please, Bastila... if you feel anything for me, you won't do this! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Turn away from this path, Bastila. The dark side leads only to destruction.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: I... I don't. The only Revan I could respect is one who would break free of the Council's slavery. One who would grasp the power that lies before him... not the weak fool I see.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: Bastila, it is not too late for you to be saved. The teachings of the Jedi can lead you from the dark side back into the light and a true understanding of the Force. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: It's not to late for you, Bastila. The dark side is evil but it isn't all powerful. You can still fight against it. Don't let it consume you.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You are beneath my contempt, Juhani. When you felt the power of the dark side you fled to a cave like some cowering animal! You know nothing of the Force or its true potential! KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You are beneath my contempt, old man! You hid like a coward for decades on Kashyyyk! You know nothing about the true potential of the Force!
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: But you, Revan - the power of the dark side is yours to command! You can use it to destroy Malak! With my help you could rule over the entire galaxy!

You can move (much) closer to the dark side of the Force before you even make your final decision:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. How do I know you won't betray me?
Bastila: I need deny my passions no longer, Revan. I would stand by your side gladly, as your lover and apprentice! I swore allegiance to Malak only because I thought you had lost the power you had once wielded. But this... this would be much better. I would be utterly yours, master! Together we would destroy Malak and you would reclaim the mantle of Dark Lord! KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: It is your power that will keep me as your loyal apprentice, Revan. I swore allegiance to Malak only because I thought you had lost the power you once wielded. But you have proven yourself in our battle; I see you possess the strength to destroy Malak and reclaim the mantle of Dark Lord. Now I see you will make a worthy Sith Master.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Yes! Together we can rule the galaxy! Dark Side Points Gained: -2
Dialog
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Listen to me... the dark side leads to death and destruction. I've seen the horrors the Sith have unleashed on the galaxy. Turn away from this path.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Shut up, old man. Your time is over! The age of the Jedi and the Republic is no more! This is the age of Darth Revan and the Sith!
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Don't do this, kid. I don't want to, but I'll fight you if I have to. Even if it costs me my life.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I am the Lord of the Sith! Bow down before me! Dark Side Points Gained: -2
Dialog
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: A true Jedi will never bow down to the Sith. If this is your decision I have no choice but to do battle against you. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I'm a Jedi... I'll never bow down to the Sith. If you go through with this I have no choice but to do battle against you.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Kill her! Rend her flesh! Show her the fate of all who dare stand against us! Embrace the power of the dark side! KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Kill him! Grind his old bones to dust! Show him the fate of all who dare stand against us! Embrace the dark side!

Regardless of your current alignment and previous choices, it is the decision you make here and now that will determine the outcome of the game:

1. I don't want to rule the galaxy. I want you to return to the light. 1. No, I... don't want you like this. I want the woman I knew.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. The Dark Lord Revan is dead. I am a servant of the light now. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. You... you're right. I cannot do this. I reject the dark side! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. No, I will not kill my friend. I reject the power of the dark side.
Light Side Points Gained: +6
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. I don't trust you. I think I'll just kill you instead! Dark Side Points Gained: -2
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: No! This is the way of the dark side! Do not give in to the anger and hatred! KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: No! Don't give into your anger. Remain calm, remain focused. Don't let her twist your mind like this!

Any of those responses results in Bastila running away to the west, boarding the GWing escape ship there and taking off:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Bastila: You are a pathetic fool, Revan! Together we could have defeated Malak and ruled over an Empire, but now I will be at Lord Malak's side instead! You will be crushed with the Republic and all the fools who bow down to the Jedi Council! No one can stand against the power of the Star Forge and the Sith fleet!
Light Side Points Gained: +10

Otherwise:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Then you must die! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Death to the Jedi!
Dark Side Points Gained: -6
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Bastila: Yes! The sacrificial blood will consecrate this ancient temple in the name of the Sith! With the death of the Jedi the rebirth of Darth Revan will be complete!
Dark Side Points Gained: -10

In either case, dialog concludes with one of the two most significant alignment changes in the game:

Points Current alignment
Very dark (0-14) Dark (15-39) Neutral (40-60) Light (61-84) Very light (85-100)
Light Side Points Gained +10 +40 +25 +10 +5 +5

If you returned to the dark side, then Bastila is added to your party (and greatly changed after your encounter):

Which is just as well, since the remaining Jedi in your party are removed from it before you engage in combat (fortunately, any buffs previously active are now cancelled). The challenge of this encounter will vary considerably depending on whether you only face Jolee or Juhani as well, and how well-developed and -equipped everyone is (including Bastila, as she may now be re-equipped or leveled up). If you have any trouble at this stage then quit and uninstall try reducing Combat Difficulty or loading a game saved beforehand, downgrade their equipment (or remove it altogether), and select unsuitable AI scripts (Default Attack for Jolee, and perhaps Jedi/Droid Support for Juhani).

Any equipment can be retrieved from the remains, while the contents of Bastila's inventory were added to your own when she was added to your party:

Experience Points (XP) Received: Item(s) Received Bastila Item(s) Received Bastila
Journal Entry Added Bastila
Malak has turned Bastila to the dark side. You confronted her atop the Rakatan Temple, but she escaped. No doubt she has fled to the Star Forge.
Journal Entry Added Bastila
You have returned to the dark side and embraced your old life. Bastila has joined you so that together you can reclaim the title of Dark Lord of the Sith from Malak, your old apprentice.

If you returned to the dark side, then if you try to speak to Bastila or return east to try to open the massive door before using the Ancient Computer:

KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: You will have to disable the energy shield around this temple before we can leave. There is a computer here on the Temple summit that has access to the power generators. You can also use it to disable the disruptor field that protects the Star Forge. Otherwise, the Ebon Hawk will not be able to leave the planet without crashing.

Trapped on a Nameless World

Journal Entry Added Trapped on a Nameless World
Bastila has fallen to the dark side and sworn allegiance to Darth Malak. She fled to the Star Forge, where she will use her battle meditation to destroy the Republic fleet unless you find a way to get onto the Star Forge and stop her.
Journal Entry Added Trapped on a Nameless World
You have reclaimed your true identity as Lord of the Sith, and Bastila has sworn allegiance to you. The Jedi with you, however, would not bow before you and had to die. Now you must travel to the Star Forge for a final confrontation with your apprentice, Darth Malak.
Experience Points (XP) Received:
  • 4000 Encountered Bastila

Juhani

If you didn't return to the dark side and Juhani is in your party:

Journal Entry Added Juhani
Juhani will stand by your side no matter what Malak may send against you.

If the Threat from Xor has been met and all personal dialogs have also been completed, then if you speak to her before leaving this world for the Star Forge:

KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: This may be the last time I will have a chance to talk to you...

If a female character hasn't alienated her:

Juhani: I just want you to know that I... that I...
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Please stop. Now.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: Of.. Of course. I am sorry. I should have known better. I can only say that if I am going to die, as we stand likely to, I am glad that it will be you beside whom I do it.

Otherwise:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. ... Yes? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. You do not need to say it, Juhani.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: But I feel I must. I have never said this before...
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I... I... I care for you. I do not know why. I do not know if anything will be possible or if you even return what I feel, but I do know it is there. I am sorry if this upsets you. I am so sorry if I am wrong, but I cannot deny what it is that I feel.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I am sorry, I cannot return your affection. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Are you sure this is the time for this?
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I... I understand. You have someone somewhere... or I just do not seem to appeal to you. KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I was afraid that I would have no more time to say it... I wonder if all of us will survive what we must do...
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I am sorry for pushing myself on you. I apologize for my actions. I suggest we find and confront Malak as soon as possible to remove the threat to the Republic once and for all.

Otherwise:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I feel the same way, Juhani.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: Now that I have put myself in this position, I know not what to say.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You do not have to say anything. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Er... 'Thank you'? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. We have gone past words.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: Yes. I thank you. But as much as I may care for you, and you for me, first we must deal with Malak. After there will be time to sort things out between us.

If your character is male, or a female who has alienated her:

KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I just want to thank you for all that you have done for me. For saving me from the dark side, for accepting me on your journey.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I value your companionship. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I need you to help me, Juhani. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. You have proved your worth many times over.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: It is good to know that I have been of some value... KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I will help you in any way I can.
Juhani: Even if not as much as I would like...
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I will prove my true worth to you.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: We WILL defeat Malak and save the Republic from the Sith threat once and for all!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. And that is what we shall do! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. We should get going. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Do not underestimate the Sith.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I... defer to your wisdom in this matter. I have little knowledge of the true power of the Sith.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I pledge my life to your cause. I will stand by you until the end.

KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: With each passing moment your old apprentice becomes stronger, Master. We must act quickly to exact your vengeance. Malak will pay for stealing the mantle of Dark Lord from you!

Your long quest for the Star Forge is about to be completed...

Quest for the Star Forge

Journal Entry Added A Quest for the Star Forge
Bastila has turned to the dark side and sworn allegiance to Darth Malak. The Republic is on its way, but if you don't get to the Star Forge and stop Bastila from using her Battle Meditation against them, the fleet is doomed. You also suspect Malak will be waiting for you there.
Journal Entry Added A Quest for the Star Forge
You have reclaimed your true identity and Bastila has sworn her allegiance to you. But there is still the matter of Malak, your old apprentice. Only when you face him and destroy him on the Star Forge will your victory be complete.

There are two plasteel cylinders on the northwest side of the second circular space on the west side of the summit, although if you've returned to the dark side then you'll have to move around Bastila's GWing escape ship to get to them:

[This craft is too small for you and Bastila together. You will have to use the Ebon Hawk to leave.]
Item(s) Received Plasteel Cylinder (2)
  • ?

Main Level

Once you've used the Rakatan computer to shut down the planetary disruptor field and Temple energy shield then you return east and open the massive door in the north wall to go back down to the main floor and exit to the Temple Exterior, which is now empty. You cannot return to Ebon Hawk or change party selection from anywhere on this world now, so you'll have to make your own way back to the Ebon Hawk on the Central Beach, retrieving ship parts from beneath the shipwreck on the south beach or from the southeast rancor enclosure of the Arena of the One beforehand if you haven't already done so.

Elder Settlement

If the Elder Settlement on the south beach helped you get inside the Temple of the Ancients then you can return there to receive experience for completing the Rakatan Research quest or speaking to Keeper Orsaa (if you haven't already done so). If you've returned to the dark side, then you and Bastila can attack the Elder councillors when you speak to them:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Elder Councillor: You are back, Revan. When you refused to enter the Temple alone we feared you had betrayed us again. We did not expect you to return. Did you find what you were looking for inside the Temple? Did you discover the secrets to destroy the Star Forge?
Dialog
Dark 1. You fools - I would never destroy the Star Forge! Dark 1. First I have to slaughter all of you!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Elder Councillor: You... you mean you have betrayed us, again? For a thousand generations we have guarded the secrets within the Temple: we cannot allow you to unleash them on the galaxy! Guards, destroy Revan! Do not let the traitor escape!

Otherwise:

Light 1. Not exactly. I have to go to the Star Forge to stop Malak. Dark 2. [Lie] Yes. I'm going there now to destroy it and Malak.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Elder Councillor: Then we wish you luck, Revan. For far too long we have kept ourselves hidden away on this lonely world, hoping to keep the Star Forge from unleashing its evil upon the rest of the galaxy. Perhaps... perhaps once the Star Forge is destroyed it will be time for us to leave this world, to rejoin the galaxy we have isolated ourselves from for so long.
Dark 2. [Lie] Yes, I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I'm sure the galaxy will welcome you with open arms. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Maybe, but we should discuss this only after Malak is stopped.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Elder Councillor: You are right, of course. This is not something to be rushed into; not while the Star Forge still exists.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Elder Councillor: You must go now, Revan. The Star Forge feeds the power of your old apprentice. If you do not stop him soon he will become too powerful for even you to stop.
Dark Elder Councillor: Hurry, Revan. The Star Forge must be destroyed. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Elder Councillor: Hurry, Revan. The Star Forge must be destroyed, Malak must be stopped. You cannot afford to waste time here with us.

If you speak to any Elder Rakata or worshippers:

You have helped us at last! Finally we shall be able to reclaim our past! At last we can regain our place in the galaxy! Our thanks, Revan.

Rakatan Settlement

If the Rakatan Settlement on the north beach helped you get inside the Temple of the Ancients then you can return there to receive experience for completing the Invisible Mandalorians quest or speaking to Loremaster Gjarshi if you haven't already done so:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Loremaster Gjarshi: You have returned from the Temple... as I knew you would. You shall have an honored place in our histories, Revan. The Rakata people shall always be indebted to you.

If you speak to a Rakata who uses a Vibro Double-Blade:

With the secrets of the Temple in our grasp, we can at last complete our conquest of the world!

If you speak to the One again then he always attacks you:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png The One: You have entered the Temple, Revan. You have seen the great secrets of the Ancients. Now you must fulfill your oath and share these secrets with me, Revan.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You are a fool! I only used you to get into the Temple! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. The information you wanted was all on computers. You couldn't use it. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. [Lie] I don't have the secrets on me, but I'll get them for you soon.
Dark Side Points Gained: -2
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png The One: And so you have betrayed us, Revan - just as you did the last time you were here. KotOR Icon Dialog.png The One: Do you take me for a fool, Revan? You are hoarding the secrets for yourself! You will leave us and forget about us, just as you did the last time you were here.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png The One: But this time you will not be allowed to escape with the knowledge that is rightfully mine, Revan! My war beasts will destroy you!

However, his raising of the portcullises to release the young rancors does allow you to retrieve the ship parts from the southeast rancor enclosure if you don't already have some, before you return to the Ebon Hawk on the central beach.

Central Beach

When you return to the Central Beach you'll find the remaining crew gathered there. If you did not return to the dark side on the Temple summit:

KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: You're back! But where's Bastila? Is she alive? What happened inside that Temple?
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. No time! We have to get off this planet and get to the Star Forge!
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Hold on a second! What about Bastila? Wasn't she in the Temple? Wh...what happened?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Bastila is dead, Carth. Malak killed her.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Dead? I... I can't believe it.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: She is not dead, Carth - though maybe that might have been easier for you to accept. She has fallen to the dark side and fled to the Star Forge. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: She's not dead, Carth - though that might have been easier for you to accept. She's fallen to the dark side and fled to the Star Forge.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Bastila has fallen to the dark side. She fled to the Star Forge. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Bastila is dead, Carth. Malak killed her.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: The dark side? Bastila? No! No! How could that happen?
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: She was always in danger of being seduced by the dark side, Carth. Bastila was strong, but she was always impatient and headstrong. Malak preyed upon her weaknesses. This planet is a tainted place, the Star Forge and the Temple have twisted the Force into an instrument of evil - just as Malak has twisted Bastila into a servant of the Sith.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. She can still be saved, can't she? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Malak corrupted Bastila because she was weak. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I can't help but feel this is partly my fault. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. Bastila is lost to us now. She deserves to die.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Malak has a strong hold on Bastila now - it will be difficult for her to break free of his influence. Especially considering her long association with you. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Weakness has nothing to do with the corruption of the dark side. A Jedi must always guard against pride and the desire for power. Especially you. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: In the end we all choose our own path, but keep in mind the role that you played in her downfall. You and the task assigned to her by the Jedi Council.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Remember the bond that was forged between you when she rekindled the spark that was your life. Through that bond she touched your memories... and also the echo of the dark taint within you.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: But there's still hope for her, right? I mean, Revan rejected the dark side so Bastila could too, right? We still might be able to save her.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. We can try... and we will. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. It took the whole Jedi Council and a mind wipe to save me. What chance does she have? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. It's too late for her. Just accept it.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: I don't know what fate awaits us, but I sense Bastila still has a role to play in the events to come. I have no doubt she will be waiting for us on the Star Forge. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: I'm not sure what's in store for us, but I sense Bastila still has a role to play. I have no doubt she'll be waiting for us on the Star Forge.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: No doubt. Let's go, then, before she has time to organize a bigger welcoming committee.

Otherwise, if a female character has romanced Carth:

Jolee: No doubt. I must say that it's good to have you with us, my dear. For a minute there I thought you might decide... well, never mind what I thought.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Decide? Decide what?
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: Bastila tried to tempt her to the dark side, to reclaim Revan's heritage. She failed. KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Bastila tried to tempt her to the dark side, to reclaim Revan's heritage. She failed.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: So... you did it? You turned against Revan once and for all? I knew she wasn't part of you anymore. I...I knew it.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Anything can still happen. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I chose the light side. It's true. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Once and for all? What are you talking about?
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: I told you that you would have to make a choice eventually, that you would be tested. I think that was it, I...I can feel it. And you did exactly what I'd hoped you would. It couldn't have been easy... I'm...I'm very proud of you.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. It wasn't easy at all. Bastila made a good case. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I could never do what Bastila did. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Thank you. I appreciate the support.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: I'm sure she did. I can't say that any one of us wouldn't have been tempted. KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: I know. I can't blame Bastila for being turned, however... she's...she's just so young and doesn't deserve this kind of fate. KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Always. I'm not certain any one of us wouldn't have been tempted by Bastila's offer.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: I... I love you. And I...I can't wait until all of this is over with.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I love you, too. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Hey, cool your engines there. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. We've got a long way to go yet, Carth.
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Hey! Sheesh... get a room, will ya? KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Right. Sorry. I just... can't remember the last time I felt this happy. I can wait until the Star Forge is destroyed.
KotOR Icon Zaalbar.png Zaalbar: That two spirits have found each other amidst such turmoil is a good omen, Mission. Does it not please you to see? KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: You make that sound so easy. Just fly over and boom, one less Star Forge in the universe, huh?
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Oh, sure. Even a good omen can get itself a room, though, don't ya think? KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: I feel more confident now than I ever did before. The Force is with us, Mission.
KotOR Icon Jolee.png Jolee: Well, I'm an old man and I know you should take love when you can find it. Good for you two, I say.
KotOR Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: Beep! Beep-beep boop!!
KotOR Icon HK-47.png HK-47: Answer: I have no idea what they speak of, droid. Organic meatbags are an eternal mystery to me.
KotOR Icon Juhani.png Juhani: Confidence is all well and good, Carth, but if we are going to catch up to Bastila we should leave soon, don't you think?
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Okay - let's get moving. The longer we wait the harder this is going to be!

If you have returned to the dark side:

KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Bastila - you're alive! I was worried about you. For a minute there I was sure we'd never see you again once Malak got his... w... wait a minute.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Where are Juhani and Jolee Bindo? Are they okay? What happened inside that temple? KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Where's Jolee Bindo? Is he okay? What happened inside that temple?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I have reclaimed the title of Darth Revan! Bow before me! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. They didn't make it. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. He didn't make it. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I went over to the dark side, Carth. That's what happened.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: What... what are you talking about?
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: The Jedi Council has failed, Carth - Darth Revan has been reborn! Together we will destroy Malak and seize control of his fleet, then use it to crush the Republic!
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Juhani and Jolee would not swear loyalty to the new ruler of the Sith. They died for their foolishness. Now swear loyalty to Darth Revan, or face your own death! KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Jolee would not swear loyalty to the new ruler of the Sith. He died for his foolishness. Now swear loyalty to Darth Revan, or face your own death!
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Wh... what? No! We serve the Republic! You're no better than Malak! We'll never swear allegiance to one who serves the dark side!
Carth: No, you can't mean that! This... this isn't you! You're not Revan, I know it!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I am Revan, Carth. Now and forever. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Does it matter who I am? I have joined the dark side. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Don't be a blind fool, Carth. Open your eyes.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: You've got to resist it! Th... this isn't you talking... we... we can help you, we can find a way --
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: My, my. I think the sad fool may actually be in love with you, Revan.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. This is my choice, Carth, whether you like it or not. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. How sad. I guess there's no future for us after all, is there? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Join me, Carth. You can rule at my side, it's not too late.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: I refuse to believe that! We'll...we'll stop you if we have to, all of us. We'll save you from yourselves! KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: No, never! You're not the woman I love. We'll stop you if we have to, all of us.
1. Don't resist me, Carth, or I'll be forced to destroy you. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. If you resist me, I'll destroy you all! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I guess I'll just have to kill you all, then. 2. All of you? Are you sure of that?
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Wait, Lord Revan. Carth speaks only for himself - he does not speak for the others. He may find he stands alone here! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Only you serve the Republic, Carth. You don't speak for the others.
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: The droids will continue to serve you Revan - they are programmed to obey their master. And there may be others who will choose to join us. The Republic is doomed, Revan has returned! Who will now swear loyalty to the second coming of the Dark Lord?

Canderous

KotOR Icon Canderous.png Canderous: You're Revan and I'll follow you anywhere. It doesn't matter who you're fighting against, I'll be at your side. Mandalorians don't have any great love for the Republic anyway. Light side, dark side - it doesn't make any difference to me, Revan. I'll stick by you no matter what comes.
Journal Entry Added Canderous
Canderous has said that he will stand by you no matter what path you take or what enemies you face.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Mission, what about you? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Zaalbar, what about you? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Not everyone is willing to throw their life away for the Republic, Carth! 4. Not everyone is as foolish as you are, Carth!
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: I saw what the Sith did to Taris - anyone who serves the dark side is evil! Big Z and I are with Carth on this one!
KotOR Icon Zaalbar.png Zaalbar: No, Mission. I am bound by the oath of my life debt. I... I must stand with Revan.
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Zaalbar - Revan's a Sith! Just like Malak! It's not a betrayal if you break your life debt now!
KotOR Icon Zaalbar.png Zaalbar: If I go back on my vow I am betraying myself, my people and my ancestors. I cannot do that. Please, Mission - join us.
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: No, Zaalbar. I don't care! I won't help the Sith against the Republic! Not for anything! Not even for you!
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: You don't have to help the Sith, Mission. Not while I'm here. I see now it was a mistake to let you go into that Temple. I of all people should have seen this coming. First Saul Karath, and now you... I mean, I should be an expert on betrayal by now! But nothing you can say or do can make me betray the Republic. I won't join you, and I won't just stand aside and let you become ruler of the Sith again, Revan!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You don't stand a chance against all of us, Carth. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Then I guess it's time for you to die! 3. It's too bad it had to come to this, Carth.
Carth: I... I'll find a way to save you, I swear! I won't give up on you... no matter what!
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Run for it, Mission! Go! Go!
KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Let him go! We have more important things to worry about. We have to get to the Star Forge and kill Malak. Then we can turn our attention to the Republic.

Mission and Zaalbar remain:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: No - this isn't happening! It can't be happening!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You're all alone now, Mission. Swear your loyalty to me! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Go on, Mission - get out of here. We don't want you anymore. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. You should have run when you had the chance, Mission. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. Now it's time for you to die, Mission.
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: No! I'm not going to just stand aside and do nothing! You'll... you'll just have to kill me. But I don't think you will.
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: I don't believe you've gone over to the dark side. Not totally. I don't think you'll kill me. Not if I don't attack you, first.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I won't kill you. But Zaalbar will, if I tell him to.
KotOR Icon Zaalbar.png Zaalbar: I have sworn a life debt to you, Revan. I will serve you as long as I draw breath. I will not break my vow. But you cannot ask me to turn on my best friend.
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Looks like you'll have to do your own dirty work, Revan - if you've got the guts!

Dialog
KotOR Icon Zaalbar.png Zaalbar: [Success] I... I have no choice. The life debt is greater than any single life, it is a solemn vow of all my people. I cannot break it, not even for you. Forgive me, Mission.
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Zaalbar, what are you saying? Revan can't force you to do anything you don't want to! It's me, Big Z - Mission!
KotOR Icon Zaalbar.png Zaalbar: Mission, forgive me!!!
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Please, Zaalbar - don't do this! Please! NO!!!

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. You're wrong Mission - I'm the Dark Lord now! Taste my wrath! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Fine - I'll just kill you myself. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Then I'll just kill you both!

KotOR Icon Bastila.png Bastila: Well done, Lord Revan. You are as ruthless as Malak ever was! Quickly, now. We have to get to the Star Forge and destroy the Usurper!

Ebon Hawk

When your encounter on the beach ends, you automatically enter the Ebon Hawk. Once you've retrieved the necessary ship parts from beneath the shipwreck on the south beach or from the southeast rancor enclosure of the Arena of the One:

[With these ship parts, you may be able to repair the Ebon Hawk's hyperdrive.]

Take the parts to the Engine Room to the south and use them on the hyperdrive:

[The hyperdrive has been repaired and is functioning properly.]
Experience Points (XP) Received:
  • 1000 Repaired hyperdrive

If you try to use the Galaxy Map in the cockpit to the north before repairing it:

[The Ebon Hawk is in no condition to fly. Until you find new stabilizers to replace those damaged by the disruptor field you won't be able to get off the ground.]

Otherwise, you can now use it to travel to the Star Forge!
