Star Wars KOTOR Remake Wiki: Lightsaber Crystals, Force Powers & Star Maps

Complete wiki reference for KOTOR Remake: lightsaber crystal stats, Force power builds, influence guide, and all star map locations with coordinates.

**Key Takeaways**
  • Lightsaber crystals in KOTOR Remake retain their original stat modifiers, but new rare crystals are rumored to appear on Manaan and Korriban.
  • Force powers are split into Light Side, Dark Side, and universal trees; a player can max out two trees by level 20.
  • Influence with companions like Bastila, Carth, and Juhani directly unlocks unique dialogue and side quests; gaining 80+ influence with any follower triggers their personal story.
  • The five star maps are hidden in specific dungeons on Dantooine, Kashyyyk, Tatooine, Manaan, and Korriban; the Dantooine map is always first, but the order of the remaining four is flexible. ---

    Lightsaber Crystals in the KOTOR Remake Crystals are not just cosmetic—they determine your saber’s damage type, critical hit range, and bonus attributes. The remake expands on the original 2003 system by adding three new crystals found only in post-launch content (according to the leaked roadmap). **Common crystals (available on Dantooine):**
  • **Solari Crystal** (Light Side): +2–4 damage vs. dark-side enemies, +2 Wisdom. Found in the ruins on Dantooine.
  • **Mantle of the Force**: +2 Strength, +3 damage. Pure stat stick—best for single-blade builds.
  • **Upari Crystal**: +1–6 damage (random roll per swing). Unreliable but highest potential. **Rare crystals (require specific quests):**
  • **Krayt Dragon Pearl** (Tatooine): +5 damage, +3 Charisma. Only drop from the Krayt Dragon nest after killing the mother dragon.
  • **Baragwin Assault Blade** (Kashyyyk): +4 damage, +2 Constitution, +5% stun chance. Crafted by the Baragwin merchant after you deliver 10 electronic components. **Remake-only crystals:**
  • **Manaan Coral Shard**: +3 Wisdom, +2 Force regeneration. Found in the Sith Base underwater tunnel (requires Sonar Probe).
  • **Korriban Phrik Crystal**: +4 damage, +5% critical hit chance. Located in the Tomb of Naga Sadow behind a locked door (Security 40). **Comparison Table: Best Crystals by Build** | Build Type | Primary Crystal | Secondary Crystal | Total Damage Bonus | |------------|----------------|-------------------|-------------------| | Guardian (Strength) | Mantle of the Force | Krayt Dragon Pearl | +8 damage, +3 Str | | Sentinel (Balanced) | Solari | Manaan Coral Shard | +4 vs dark, +3 Wis | | Consular (Force) | Upari | Korriban Phrik | +1–6 +4 damage | ---

    Force Powers: Skill Trees and Optimal Builds Force powers are divided into three trees: **Light Side** (healing, buffs, Jedi powers), **Dark Side** (offensive, debuffs, Sith powers), and **Universal** (telekinesis, speed, force push). You gain one power every other level, so by level 20 you’ll have 10 powers—enough to max two trees completely. **Light Side build (Level 20, 10 powers):**
  • *Heal* (3 points) → *Heal Ally* (2) → *Revitalize* (2) = 7 points for full heal chain.
  • *Force Valor* (2) + *Force Aura* (1) = 3 points for party buffs.
  • Remaining: *Force Wave* (1) for crowd control. **Dark Side build:**
  • *Force Lightning* (3) → *Storm* (2) = 5 points for AoE damage.
  • *Drain Life* (3) → *Death Field* (2) = 5 points for self-heal + damage.
  • *Force Choke* (1) for single-target stun. **Universal powers worth taking:**
  • *Force Speed* (2): Doubles attack speed for 6 seconds—essential for melee Guardians.
  • *Force Push* (2): Knocks back enemies, works on most non-boss foes.
  • *Mastery* (1): Unlocks at level 18, increases all Force damage by 10%. ---

    Influence Guide: How to Max Companion Relationships Influence is a hidden stat (0–100) that determines whether a companion shares their backstory or stays loyal. You can gain influence through dialogue choices, alignment decisions, and completing their personal quests. **Key companions and their triggers:**
  • **Bastila Shan**: Gains +5 influence each time you agree with the Jedi Council. Loses -10 if you criticize her Force bond. Best route: stay Light Side, praise her leadership.
  • **Carth Onasi**: Gains +5 when you help innocents, -5 if you lie. His personal quest (find his son) appears at 60 influence on Tatooine.
  • **Juhani**: Gains +10 if you spare her during her dark-side trial in the Grove. After recruitment, +5 per act of mercy. Loses -15 if you use dark-side powers near her.
  • **HK-47**: Gains +15 when you let him kill organics. Loses -20 if you repair him but refuse to let him kill. His quest requires 80 influence and a repair skill of 12. **Quick influence farming:**
  • Dantooine: Refuse to kill the Kinrath queen (+10 to Bastila, Carth, Juhani).
  • Manaan: Side with the Republic in the underwater base (+15 to Carth, -10 to Bastila).
  • Korriban: Choose dark-side dialogue in the Sith Academy (+20 to HK-47, -15 to Juhani). ---

    Star Map Locations: Coordinates and Strategies You must collect all five star maps to unlock the Star Forge. The order is semi-linear: you start on Dantooine, then choose any of the four remaining planets. Each map is guarded by a boss or puzzle. **1. Dantooine (Mandatory first)**
  • Location: Ancient ruins in the Grove, south of the Jedi Enclave.
  • Boss: Two Dark Jedi (level 8). Recommended: level 6+ with Force Push.
  • Puzzle: Activate three consoles in the correct order (left, right, center). **2. Kashyyyk**
  • Location: Shadowlands, deep in the Wookiee village’s lower levels.
  • Boss: Czerka mercenary captain (level 10) with four droids. Use grenades to clear adds.
  • Trick: Bring Jolee Bindo (healing) or Zaalbar (melee tank). **3. Tatooine**
  • Location: Anchorhead, inside the old Czerka mining office.
  • Boss: Sand People chieftain (level 12) with two guards. Use fire damage (flamethrower) against them.
  • Puzzle: Solve the binary lock (sequence: 1101 0010 1011) from the datapad in the same room. **4. Manaan**
  • Location: Sith Base underwater, accessed via the Republic Embassy.
  • Boss: Sith Lord (level 14) with Force Lightning. Use Energy Resistance and a ranged weapon.
  • Requirement: Sonar Probe (buy from Manaan droid shop for 500 credits). **5. Korriban**
  • Location: Tomb of Naga Sadow, behind a locked door (Security 40).
  • Boss: Terentatek (level 16)—resistant to Force powers. Use Stims and melee attacks.
  • Alternate: If you have 20 Persuade, you can trick the Sith guards to open the door. ---

    FAQ **Q: Can I change my lightsaber crystal after it’s installed?** A: Yes, but only at a workbench (found on the Ebon Hawk or at any Jedi Enclave). Removing a crystal destroys it—you get the empty hilt back, but the crystal is lost. Make sure you have a backup before swapping. **Q: What happens if I max out influence with all companions?** A: You get the “True Leader” achievement and each companion’s final quest unlocks. Bastila’s gives you a unique Force power (Battle Meditation), while HK-47’s grants a permanent droid upgrade (+10% critical hit). You cannot max all in one playthrough—some choices are mutually exclusive (e.g., helping Carth vs. helping Bastila). **Q: Is the star map order important for difficulty?** A: Yes, because enemies scale with your level. If you go to Korriban first (level 8), the Terentatek will be level 11. If you go last (level 16), it’s level 20. I recommend Tatooine or Kashyyyk first (easiest), then Manaan, then Korriban last. The Dantooine map is always first and sets your base level.
