Obi-Wan Baloney Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I found the other day that if you open the mysterious box given to you by the Rodian on Korriban to give to Motta the Hutt; you will get trapped inside the box . You will be told by a Rakata that this was a prison built by his people and he knew how to get out by using your body for his spirit to live.To get out you have to answer a series of riddles for him to get you out.When you get out and go see Motta, he doesn't believe you opened it because you wouldn't get out. You can still sell him the box, though.It is obvious he was going to use the box himself, for prisoners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam! Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 That happened to me! I couldn't get out...so i had to load my last saved game which was 2 and a half hours before then! Shows you should always save your game every 10-15 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Just answer the riddles and if you don't know how to answer them, go here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaelastraz Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Those riddles are really easy...almost all of them I had known when I first encountered that box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentScope001 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 If you want to defeat the Rakatan when it is your turn to ask a question, if you can, ask him a question involving numbers. The Rakatan will be unable to solve the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 If you want to defeat the Rakatan when it is your turn to ask a question, if you can, ask him a question involving numbers. The Rakatan will be unable to solve the question. Or you could just keep answering his riddles (which are very easy), and keep asking him normal riddles until he gives up (which is after about 5 correctly answered riddles). I never like using the number riddle because it makes me feel like I won cheaply (I don't really know why though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 How long did you run around in the dark (white) looking for someone until you gave up? I think I went 15 minutes the first time before I gave up. Duhhh !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I've never been trapped and have been tempted to try it once but I forget to. Just goes to show you how well the gameplay is imprinted in my brain. I can't even plat DS because it's not in my nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I tried running to all the whiteness for a while, but it hurt my eyes, just seeing all that white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You actually can't go very far. At a certain point in the area, there's an invisible barrier of sorts. All the whiteness makes it hard to tell your character is just running in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I remember when i first activated it. It is very surreal what with the music and all. I always wondered though if there is anyone you can talk to when you are on Rakata Prime to get the Rakatan released from the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the whiteness makes it hard to tell your character is just running in place. Yeah, I noticed that when I ran away with my view towards the Rakata. The riddles were simple enough, but it made a nice, brief sidetrack from the story. No matter were you are in it. ...all the same, I'd rather have the credits.

Ctrl Alt Del Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah, mainly cause you dont know who the Rakatas are in this part of the game, though there're many clues, as the broken statues on Tatooine, the holo-display showing one, in Kashyyyk...

There's no one, although it would be a simple matter to change with a mod. A few basic scripts, and you wouldn't even need any new VOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I smell a challenge for ambitious modders. ED's suggestion is a good one. It would give more of a finish to the mysterious box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth InSidious Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 It would be possible...But what would happen afterwards? Would he run off and challenge the One for leadership? Would he win? Would he repent and join the Elders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 It would be possible...But what would happen afterwards? I don't know. With NWN 2 out, I won't be modding KotOR for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The problem with freeing him would be that he'd need a body for his mind to return to, and his own has been lost for the past 30 000 years. Perhaps you could plug The One into the box and let the imprisoned Rakata claim his body instead of killing him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 That would go very well with the Elders, as they want to study him for any signs of Force-sensitivity. Could tie into the genetic research quest, but I'm just thinking out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elven6 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Is this a mod or something that was already in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediMaster12 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Now ED don't be so rude. Still the idea of a mod involving with the mysterious box is a good one. I am curious if there are any takers besides the already consumed ED with NWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've never been trapped and have been tempted to try it once but I forget to. Just goes to show you how well the gameplay is imprinted in my brain. I can't even plat DS because it's not in my nature. Actually getting DS is easy, just decide to side with Bastila in the conflict. First time I was playing I was pretty much LS, and that IS the reason I get the DS ending. Well, the Rakie-in-a-box can actually be a minor FS, and by tie in with the Genetics research that would bring the FS bloodline back to the Rakatas? Anyone know the real reason why Rakatas become blinded to the force? Its good that thwey don't decide to hate technology and live in the intestines of giant monsters.

SilentScope001 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Anyone know the real reason why Rakatas become blinded to the force? 1) In-breeding. Appernatly, FUers breeded with FUers, so soon, people forget the Force... 2) Star Forge. That machine that creates tons and tons of tiny little Rakatan ships apperantly has a hunger that is matched only by Darth Nihilus itself. The Star Forge wants to gobble up lots of the Dark Side of the Force as physically possible, so it uses its infulence to slowly corrupt the Raktans and cause them to wage a great civil war which would destroy themselves...and in the process create hate and anger, emotions that fuel the DS. Star Forge, being a happy little machine, gobbles up the Dark Side of the Force that the Raktans create... Until one day, when the Star Forge sucked up all the Force in the Rakatans. Serve the Rakatans right for thinking they could contorl the DS. This was the reason why a DS Revan decided to SHUT DOWN the Star Forge. He did not want its mighty power and hunger to destroy the Sith...and the Force, specifcally, the Force of the Human Race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
