Important Info Regarding Darth Bandon fight.(Spoilers)

[eidospsogos]

first of all this is not to help you win the fight. this is just a heads up for those who have no knowledge of this yet and want to gain more from their battle.

 

i am sure alot of you may know this already, but if manaan is the planet where you are getting your third star map, bandon will appear at the end of the underwate kolto facility quest, on your way back to the surface.

 

if this is the way you played the game, then kudos for you. because you will now receive darth bandon's saberstaff(and from my experience the only way to receive the saberstaff). it will appear as merely a red-bladed saberstaff in your items menu, but it has unique properties and effects on the upgrade crystals you use in it, so don't accidentally sell it as it is not marked bandon's saber.

 

i noticed the odd effects it had on the upgrade crystals and looked it up on gamefaqs to find this info:

 

The crystals are either unaffected, or altered for the better and/or worse.

This is the list of effects on the enhancing crystals when input into Darth

Bandon's lightsaber. Note: If the red crystal is removed from the lightsaber,

it reverts to a regular double-bladed lightsaber.

ii. Crystal Combinations

 

Since Darth Bandon's lightsaber alters the effects of almost all enhancing

crystals, I thought I'd add some effective crystal combinations should you

choose to use it.

 

DAMAGE & ATTACK POWER

Crystals Used: Sapith, Upari

 

Upgrade(s): Damage +9

Attack +9

 

Benefits: This lightsaber combo provides guaranteed +9 damage to your

lightsaber, making it a powerful force against any opponent. The unbelievable

+9 to attack will also help guarantee hits on your opponent, designating this

as one of the most formidable double-bladed lightsabers.

 

LIGHT SIDE

Crystals Used: Solari, Upari

 

Upgrade(s): Damage +8, +1-6 Physical Damage vs. Dark Side

Attack +10

 

Limitation: Can only be used by a Light Jedi

 

Benefits: This is similar to the normal Light Side crystal combination but

with the added benefits of a guaranteed +8 to damage and an amazing +10 to

attack. The damage versus Dark Side opponents is only slightly reduced.

 

STUN SABER

Crystals Used: Bondar, Upari

 

Upgrade(s): Damage +5

Attack +5

On Hit - Stun 100% for 6 seconds

Save - DC10 to negate stun

 

Benefits: Bondar comes with a sweet 100% chance of stun as opposed to the

measly 25% under normal circumstances. The DC10 is still low however, and this

lightsaber may not benefit you later in the game.
