Kashyyyk Companion Guide Walkthrough - Kotor 1
On this page you'll find my Companion Guide for Kashyyyk in Kotor 1. This guide is designed to be used as a companion while you're playing the game, hence the name "Companion Guide". If you want to have your phone out while you play and don't feel like scrolling through a guide with no pictures - you can simply use the map locations on this page instead.
My Companion Guide will show you an overview of each location on each planet along with any points of interest on that map you can visit. NPCs involved in Side Quests or events that give Dark Side/Light Side Points are most of what I point to. Some story events will be marked too along with rare or good items if I felt that they were worth mentioning.
This guide goes hand in hand with my Kashyyyk Walkthrough which is built more like a traditional hand-holding walkthrough. Last but not least, when playing the game I liked having a checklist that reminded me of how and where to update the story on each planet, so I have included that at the top of each page too.
To advance the story on Kashyyyk...
1. Go to Rwookrrorro Village and speak with Chuundar
2. Ride the elevator down into the Lower Shadowlands
3. Help Jolee by clearing the Czerka Camp
4. Find/Inspect the Star Map in Upper Shadowlands
5. Decide to ally with Freyyr or Chuundar
Czerka Landing Port - Kashyyyk
Eli & Matton: Speak with these two NPCs to start the Matton Dasol Side Quest on Kashyyyk. It requires you to find a droid in the Upper Shadowlands and return it to these NPCs. Make sure you complete this Side Quest before allying with Freyyr since these NPCs along with all other Czerka will be chased off the planet.
Events: Every Docking Bay area in the game is an "event location". What this means is there is a chance that you'll get a dialogue prompt from your Companion like... [So and so looks like they want to speak with you] which will advance their personal story line - or you might get an NPC that approaches you and starts one of the Companion Side Quests.
Below is a list of every Companion Side Quest in the game.
Bastila's Mother (Can't start on Manaan or Korriban)
Canderous' Honor (Can start anywhere but Tatooine)
Juhani's Past (Can start anywhere but Dantooine)
Mission's Brother (Can't start on Tatooine or Manaan)
Carth's Son (Can start anywhere but Korriban)
The Great Walkway - Kashyyyk
When you first pass through this area you'll only be able to travel through the northern half between the landing port and Rwookrrorro Village. After speaking with Chuundar in Rwookrrorro Village you will be given access to the bottom half of this map which will take you to the Upper Shadowlands.
Czerka Goons: You'll encounter a group of Czerka NPCs here which will give you numerous opportunities for Light Side or Dark Side Points. If you have Zaalbar with you then you'll get more opportunities for both. There are many things you can do in this situation like [Force Persuade] them to give you money, instigate a fight or part peacefully. For a full list check out the Kotor 1 wikia. If you fight with them and kill them you'll be able to loot a Czerka Corp. Resource ID which you can use to access the Supply Station also marked on the map.
Supply Station: There is a terminal here along with two boxes that you can use Security on to open or bash open. Alternatively if you fought the Czerka goons mentioned above and obtained their Czerka Corp. Resource ID then you'll be able to use this to open the containers.
Dark Jedi: Here you'll encounter a group of 3 Dark Jedi. Many of the planets you visit throughout the game will have a group of Dark Jedi waiting to ambush you, if this is the first planet you're doing after Dantooine the fight will be quite difficult. Use whatever Shields, Stims and Force Powers you have prior to attacking the enemy to make the fight significantly easier.
Village of Rwookrrorro - Kashyyyk
The Village of Rwookrrorro is the main town on the planet of Kashyyyk and is heavily involved in the main story of this planet. When you first arrive her Chuundar will be in charge and you will be able to come and go from the village whenever you please. During the story you'll have to choose who you want to be the chieftan of this village, Chuundar or Freyyr.
If you choose Chuundar and you decide to kill Freyyr then Chuundar will thank you, but the village will become permanently closed to outsiders. Make sure you complete the Woorwill Side Quest prior to killing Freyyr if you decide to go this route. Alternatively, if you make Freyyr the chieftan you'll be able to come and go from the village whenever you please.
Upper Shadowlands - Kashyyyk
In the Upper Shadowlands you'll meet another Jedi by the name of Jolee and you'll be tasked with assisting him in removing the Czerka from the area. Their camp is to the north and Jolee asks you to try and find a non-violent solution -- however you can take any approach you want. For more detailed information about how to advance the story forward here check out my Kashyyyk Walkthrough.
Wookiee Corpse: This NPC is part of the Woorwill Side Quest which starts in Rwookrrorro Village.
Droid: This droid is part of the Matton Dasol/Eli Gand Side Quest which begins in the Czerka Landing Port.
Czerka Camp: Speak with Commander Dern at this camp to be sprayed with a compound that makes the Tachs in the area attack you. You'll need a Tach Gland for the Mission's Brother Side Quest if you plan to complete it. During the main story on Kashyyyk Jolee will ask you to clear out this camp of Czerka in Upper Shadowlands. You have a couple different options for clearing them out, all of which are explained in my Kashyyyk Walkthrough.
Lower Shadowlands - Kashyyyk
In the Lower Shadowlands you'll find the Star Map that we're after all the way to the south and Freyyr in the northeast. To access the Star Map you'll need to answer a series of questions and maybe fight a pair of droids if you don't give the right answers. As for Freyyr, you can choose to ally with him and chase Chuundar out or you can kill Freyyr and ally with Chuundar, it's your choice.
Even if you don't ally with Freyyr I recommend you still get Bacca's Blade from the Ritual Marker to the south of Freyyr. This is a really nice Vibroblade that Zaalbar has an attachment to. If you'd like to learn more information about the Star Map or Freyyr check out my Kashyyyk Walkthrough.
Grrrwahrr: When you first arrive in the Lower Shadowlands you'll come across Grrrwahrr battling it out with a Mandalorian. You'll automatically intervene and attempt to save him. Make sure no Mandalorians attack him during your rescue attempt as he can be killed by them if they keep attacking him. Grrrwahrr starts the Mandalorian Side Quest on Kashyyyk.
Mandalorian: Throughout the Lower Shadowlands there are 3 groups of Mandalorian enemies that you'll need to kill for Grrrwahrr's Side Quest. None of these enemies will attack you unless you run around in the designated areas without any weapons equipped. After the Mandalorians spawn you can equip your weapons again when you battle them.
Freyyr: During the story quest on Kashyyyk you'll have to decide if you want to kill Freyyr or ally with him. The Light Side Points choice is to ally with Freyyr and kill Chuundar, this will also give you permanent access to the Village of Rwookrrorro. Alternatively if you kill Freyyr (Dark Side Points) Chuundar will thank you but will exile you and say no outsiders.
Ritual Marker: While doing the ally with Freyyr story quest you'll be asked to collect Bacca's Blade from the beast that is summoned in this area. This is a very powerful fully upgradeable Vibroblade that Zaalbar has a lot of attachment to.
