Endgame design document

This page is for the endgame section of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Fall of the Empire.

Overview
The end of the journey has finally come and now it is time to finish up the story. This section begins when player’s travel back to Dromund Kaas after receiving a message from Scourge to return. When doing so player’s must part ways from the companions and travel alone but before doing so can give a farewell speech to your companions afterwards Scarlet will have a heartwarming conversation with you about either how much you how a powerful Sith (dark side), her uncertainly but still proud (neutral), or how much she’s been a poor teacher and mother figure (light side). (If Scarlet gives the middle or later speech the player’s responses can move her towards neutral or light.)

As the player leaves Scourge will give out battle plains and at this point player’s can determine which two companions to bring with Byron and Scarlet. The only exception is HK-47 who went off on his own to find Revan. After the overview the Rogue Sith arrives and the battle begins. HK-47 infiltrates the Imperial Citadel’s Prison Section to find Revan but doesn't find him instead finds the Jedi Exile. Meanwhile, Byron and a group led by Roderick Willport will infiltrate the Depressor. Roderick will be killed and Byron will confront Naiko. After dealing with Naiko it is up to the player if they want to take control of the ship for themselves or destroy it by blowing it apart or crashing it into Dromund Kaas’s jungles. Then the scene switches to Scarlet who fights her way the Dark Council Chamber Room and confronts Darth Namla.

After finishing off Namla the scene switches back to the main character who has finally arrived at Nathema. The player fight’s his way by Sithspawn towards the Thrown Room where Darth Exitium is. Exitium reveals any unanswered questions and the final battle begins. After finishing off Exitium the game is over.

Area Background
Imperial Citadel’s Prison Section is used for the most dangerous prisoners caught by the Sith Empire and it is believed Revan himself is located here. The Royal Palace used to belong to the Sith Emperor thousands of years ago who build it over a village but after performing a ritual that killed all life on the world and trapped their souls here. He then left this planet for good and now Darth Exitium lives here who uses his own energy to make him immune to the ritual’s side effects. Fortunately, the main character can also use this ability as well.

Locations
Imperial Citadel’s Prison Section Floor I: For the next three maps HK-47 must fight his way alone against the Sith Guards. Fortunately, security is not too tough.

Imperial Citadel’s Prison Section Floor II: Here security becomes tougher due to the Guard Droids who are pretty hard.

Imperial Citadel’s Prison Section Floor III: An insane map because now HK-47 must fight against Dark Jedi Masters.

Depressor Hanger Bay Revisited: A pretty easy map because of your group’s large size. If player’s want to blow apart the ship certain spots will need to rigged with detonators.

Depressor Command Deck: Things will become harder because now Roderick and several of your men will be killed leaving only Byron and the two chosen companions. Again certain spots will need to be rigged to blow up the Depressor.

Depressor Bridge: This is where Naiko will be confronted. This map contains no spots that needs to be rigged and simply player’s will need to make their way room to room to reach Naiko. Beware, Naiko wears heavy armor, shields, and uses two fully upgraded power guns with several grenades. After killing Naiko player’s can use the computer to shut down power and cause the ship to crash, use the detonators to blow up the ship, or simply leave the ship be and take control of it for themselves.

City Square II Revisited: City Square II has now fallen into chaos and as such all of the side areas have been cut off leaving only the player’s having to go in straight path to the Imperial Citadel.

Imperial Citadel – Entrance Floor Revisited: The Imperial Citadel has now been taken control under the Rogue’s so player’s will have to fight their way to the Dark Council Chamber room.

Imperial Citadel – Dark Council Chamber Revisited: Here is where player’s will have to fight Darth Namla who welds a double-bladed lightsaber and has her strike forces with her.

Royal Palace - Exterior: Player’s will have to fight Sithspawn here and make their way inside. While there are side paths player’s can take to gain extra loot the main path is very straight ford. Player’s can also get a nice view of Nathema from here unfortunately it is not very pretty due to the absence of color but on a positive note a memory from the previous life is regained.

Royal Palace - Interior: The elegant halls of the Royal Palace are again filled with Sithspawn. Unlike the Exterior there are more side areas player’s can take and doing so will regain additional memories from the previous life.

Royal Palace - Thrown Room: A very big room where the final battle takes place. There is nothing to do here but to confront Darth Exitium. During the battle, any companions the player killed will return as force phantoms making the battle a little bit harder.
