Glitchless Any% Guide v2.0: Female Jedi Guardian Route[/big]**[/center]

I want to credit 30cents for his initial route for KOTOR 2 Glitchless. This would not have been done without his intial work on the route! I also want to credit ChaosDrifter for helping me with much of the calculations and theory crafting into the category improvements.

This route defeats Darth Traya on Malachor V as fast as possible without the use of glitches. Timing begins upon clicking "PLAY" after character creation and ends on the last hit on Traya. A load-removal tool is available for LiveSplit thanks to glasnonck; times are sorted based on load-removed times, since load times vary significantly in this game, and saving is frequent. This guide will cover the character build for the run, as well as a detailed route.

If you have additional questions, you can check out the KotOR Speedrunning Discord which is linked on the game's sidebar on speedrun.com. There's a bunch of friendly folks there willing to answer questions!

[section=Glitchless Rules]

All glitches are banned, with the exception of the following:

Fast text (unavoidable without restarting the game frequently)
Duration glitch (also unavoidable, and semirandom at this point in time, though it is less effective in this game than in KOTOR 1)

In addition, exploits that give infinite experience, credits, or alignment points are also banned.

Due to its glitchy nature, QUICKSAVE is banned as well. Manual and autosaves, however, are allowed.

No mods are allowed to be used (Yes, this also includes the restoration mod!)

[section=General Tips]

If running on any monitor over 60fps, underclock it to 60 FPS exactly (if not done, your game will randomly hang during combat)
Unbind your quicksave key! You can do this by setting the Quicksave key (default F4) to the Quickload Key (default F5) then setting the Quickload key back to F5.
Learn how to swap abilities easily. Shift + # swaps the ability.(e.g shift+1 swaps from Critical Strike to Flurry, and shift+4 swaps force powers)
Watch someone's PB video while going through the notes! This is very important to fundamentally understand the run and how it flows, and learn possible tricks to make your run much more faster and smoother.
Manual save a lot (if you are new)! The game tends to be very wonky, can be prone to crashing in the worse moments, especially if you're on a good run.
Once you understand the fundamentals from these notes, make your own copy of the notes and modify them to your own use. These notes are made detailed for a new player, and once you become more experienced you will need less of these notes.
Remember to have fun!

[section=Character Build]

We begin the game as a Jedi Guardian primarily because of Force Jump, and its combat focued skills. Female characters are chosen because instead of Handmaiden (which you attain as a Male character), you get Disciple. Having Handmaiden incurs extra cutscenes with Atris at the end of the game.

Our main character doesn't need any skill investment in anything but TI, as Affect Mind is used for anything requiring persuasion.

Initial Attributes

Str - 18 Dex - 14 Con - 14 Int - 8 Wis - 10 Cha - 8

Initial Skills

Treat Injury - 4 (You can simply press reccomend and it will allocate all points to Treat Injury automatically) Initial Feat - Weapon Focus: Melee Weapons

We are going to focus on melee attacks with a lightsaber, so we max out Strength immediately, and get enough Dexterity and Constitution to help us survive. The final two points are put into Wisdom for a slightly better chance resisting Force Powers at the end of the game, as well as a slightly bigger pool.

Treat Injury (TI) will be our main skill, since there are no strict skill requirements we have to meet.

We choose Weapon Focus: Melee Weapons for the attack boost before getting our lightsaber; we pick it over Two-Weapon Fighting because Weapon Focus takes longer to select, so at level 2 it's faster to pick Two-Weapon Fighting. Since character creation isn't timed, this is optimal.

[section=Leveling Plan]

You will notice skills and attributes are not listed here. That is because when leveling up, all skills/attribute points will use Reccomended (Strength/Treat Injury respectively)

Our main combat plan is lots of Strength, Master Two-Weapon Fighting, Master Critical Strike, and Knight Speed, using dual lightsabers. This gives us attacks that will deal as much damage as possible; we want to hit as hard as possible, since enemies in the later parts of the game will have higher HP. With Juyo Form lategame, doing 180+ damage in the endgame is quite common.

Other notes:

Skill notes:

We only use Treat Injury to make our medpac use more efficient.
Persuade isn't used, as Affect Mind is sufficent enough for all of our needs during the run.

Feat notes:

Weapon Focus: Lightsaber is chosen since there aren't other good feats at level 3, and it gives +1 to attack when we get our lightsaber later.
Critical Strike and Two-Weapon Fighting are our main combat core.

Force Power notes:

Force Speed is the most important power, giving double movement speed. With no Save Teleports, this is an essential power for the run. Knight Speed also grants +1 attack per round, which is highly important due to our relatively low chance to hit.
- Duration Glitch in this game is not as effective in KOTOR 2, so we will be using much more of it, and we will generally take Kreia into our party as a second source of Force Speed due to the Force Bond ability affecting both our MC and Kreia.
Force Valor is used to boost stats and saving throws for various combat sections in the game.
Affect Mind is used in the following places:

Affect Mind is required to persuade the receptionist in the Exchange Base to allow you through.
Affect Mind persuades the thugs in Nar Shaddaa to jump off the pit (horray!). This gives us a lot of alignment points to get Visas after the Red Eclipse attack.

Energy Resistance is not particularly useful, but there aren't any worthwhile Force Powers to get at level 5. Energy Resistance keeps our menus mostly uncluttered.
Force Deflection is taken as it's a nice defensive passive skill, and you frequently run through heavy amounts of ranged enemies in the game.
Battle Meditation is a nice filler, lasts 20 seconds, and provides very good stat boosts for fights provided you have the spare force to use them.
Force Armor is taken, at late game we get Force Enlightenment and it gains the benefits of Force Speed, Valor, and Force Armor all at once. Force Armor is delayed as much as possible for easy access to Force Speed.
Breath Control is attained for free during the Jek Jek Tarr section on Nar Shaddaa. It makes us immune to poison, but we don't use it in this run at all.

[section=Equipment Plan]

A special note on KOTOR 2 is that many of the drops/containers you loot are randomized. The base items here are all guarenteed items, but it is possible you may obtain items in your run that are more optimal to equip before getting the guaranteed items listed below (or could possibly be better!).

Implant: Power Implant Bought on Nar Shaddaa from Geeda (1615 credits)

Since we don’t have enough Constitution to equip the Nerve Enhancement System, and only Sion and Traya use stunning force powers against us, we go for offensive items and this implant is the easiest guaranteed item we can access that gives us +2 STR.

Head: Targeting Visor Obtained from dead mercenary in the Enclave Ruins

The only guaranteed helmet we can obtain, this gives is a +1 to attack and +1 to reflex saves. If you find other better helmets, prioritize equipping those over this helmet.

Gloves: Sith Power Gauntlets Obtained from Sith Lord at Freedon Nadd’s Tomb

This is used for the +3 Strength; which gives us a lot of damage and accuracy.

Body: Ossus Keeper Robe OR Jal Shey's Armor Reward from Queen Talia during Onderon 2, Jal Shey's Armor obtained from Geeda

At the beginning, we only have easy access to the Mining Outfit that gives us +1 defense.
We use the Jal Shey Armor (bought from Geeda) then for its defense and dexterity bonus.
Later on, we swap to the Ossus Keeper Robe for more force point pool, and for better resistance against Sion/Traya’s force powers.
Beginners can opt to keep Jal Shey's Armor, as it provides more defense for the late game.

Main Hand Weapon: Single Lightsaber Crafted by Bao-Dur after Dantooine

We use a 1H Lightsaber for use with Critical Strikes later on. At Nar Shaddaa, we will be buying two crystals for it:

Crystal 1: Nextor Bought on Nar Shaddaa from Oondar for 3580 credits.

Provides a high critical threat range, which makes our critical hits stronger. It also gives a nice +1 to our attack modifier.

Crystal 2: Opila Bought on Nar Shaddaa from Geeda for 2831 credits

Grants us the Keen effect, which gives us a 10% increased chance to crit. It also adds a flat +3 to damage, and is very cost effective.

Off-hand Weapon: Freedon Nadd's Short Lightsaber Obtained from Freedon Nadd’s Tomb

This is a very good off-hand weapon that increases our accuracy while having higher damage than other lightsabers. Before that, we will be using a vibroblade, or a offhand lightsaber for damage.

Belt: None, or best belt you looted

There are no good guaranteed belts we can purchase for an affordable price. See itemization below for things you are looking for in a belt.

Shield Slots: Main Character's Armband/Energy Shield

Gives us +1 to Constitution, which gives us more HP.
The Energy Shield is equipped to mitigate damage from blasters, which is primarily used at Peragus when walking through mines.

The majority of our equipment is attained in Nar Shaddaa, with the exception of the Ossus Keeper Robe. For the early game, we will make use of a pair of vibroblades, though some exceptions are made depending on the weapons shops have.

Item Prioritization

Due to the RNG nature of loot and shops in this game, sometimes there are better items you might find for the early game on the way. You'll want to prioritize it roughly by:

+Strength: Strength gives us more damage AND more accuracy, and therefore is much more beneficial to us overall than any other stat.
+Damage (any type): More damage is great. Generally this will be in the form of +physical damage (e.g Gamorrean Gloves).
+Attack: Gives us more chance of hitting, which is crucial early game since our weapons are weaker.
+Wisdom: Gives us better saving throws for the endgame, where Nihilus, Sion, and Traya use force powers against us.
+Defense: Makes others less likely to hit us. Nice stat, since we tend to run through areas with large amounts of enemies.

[section=Credits Route]

We do anywhere from 6-8 shopping trips during the run; the credit route branches depending on if you find better weapons to buy early game on Telos Station. Our shopping is as follows:

1. Samhan on Telos Station Sell: Droid Self-Sustaining Parts (3000), 1x Parts, 2x Vibroblade Buy: 10x Alacrity, 8x Stamina, 8x Strength, 2x Ion Grenade, 1x Hyper Alacrity, 1x Hyper Stamina - You can buy any light/medium armor under 1,000 credits for Bao-Dur later (if you buy the Sith War Sword you can only afford the Combat Suit which is 50 credits) - You may also buy the Sith War Sword (~1780) OR Zabrak Vibroblade (1000) if it spawns here. If buying either of these weapons, consider buying less medpacks, 2 less sets of Stamina/Strength stims, and sell 1 Vibrosword.

2: Dendis on Telos Station Buy: Enough Medpacks to have 15-20 medpacks (depending on what you bought in the first shop)

3. Adum Larp on Dantooine Sell: Benok's Blaster and Exchange Negotiator (+ any extra armor you bought except Mining Outfit) Buy: 11x Battle Stims

4. Kex on Dxun Buy: 9x Average Frag Mine, 2x Hyper Strength, 1x Hyper Battle Stim, 10x Alacrity, 7-8x Strength, 9-10x Stamina, 30-35 Advanced Medpacks

5. Oondar on Nar Shaadaa Sell: Mandalorian Blaster, 1x Lightsaber (priortize selling double lightsaber over single handed lightsaber) Buy: Nextor Crystal

6. Geeda on Nar Shaadaa Buy: Power Implant, Jal Shey Armor, Opila Crystal (~4950 credits) Sell: Anything but lightsabers/used items to attain a total of 2000 credits

Most of our credits come from quests that we do on the way, and a select few guarenteed items. The credits route is a little tight, as we need a lot of money for crystals, medpacks, stims, and mines.

The quests we do to get money are as follows:

We get the Atmospheric Sensors for Saedie, for 3000 credits since we can do this on the way to rescue Vrook from the mercenaries.
We allow Azkul to bribe us for an extra 1000 credits. We can skip the battle here that normally gives us 4000 credits, so allowing Azkul to bribe us along with completing Saedie's quest makes up the credit loss.
We take the 1000 credit reward from Zuko, since we need all the extra money we can get.
We give our spare starport visa to Sakarie, who gives us 5000 credits in exchange.

The guarenteed items we sell are as follows:

Mandalorian Blaster Rifle. This sells for 4400 at Kex or Oondar, but you can also sell it to 1B-8D for 1k more credits, at the cost of an extra sell menu.
Exchange Negotiator. Obtained from Lexa and used to help fund our stim needs.
Benok's Blaster. Sells for ~780 and is used to help fund stim needs.
Lightsaber (or double-sided lightsaber). Sells for ~680 and is used to help bribe Kaalah-Nah.

[section=Alignment Route]

Alignment in KotOR is a sliding scale from 0 to 100, initialized at 50; higher numbers are Light, lower numbers are dark. Shifts in alignment are determined by a matrix; every alignment-shifting action is classified as Light or Dark, and then assigned a level (either Low, Mid, or High). The player character (The Exile) can either be aligned as Very Dark, Dark, Neutral, Light, or Very Light. The more opposed your alignment and the action's classification, the more drastic your shift in alignment; for example, a Light-aligned character performing a High Dark action will have a large shift, while a Dark character performing a High Dark action will have a smaller shift.

Here is the alignment route used in the run:

Alignment is not as important in this game, as we don’t use any equipment restricted by alignment. We do, however, stay on Light Side/Neutral in order to obtain Mira at Nar Shaddaa, as she is used for Goto’s ship segment to pass by the many deadly mines quickly without blowing them up, and to obtain deadly mines for Hanharr 2 later on at Malachor V.

Other than obtaining Mira, most of our decisions are done with the intention of getting the fastest result, while gaining as many alignment shifts as possible so that we can spawn Visas.

Getting Visas to spawn requires either 25/75 alignment (high dark/light, respectively), or 50 total alignment shifts. We go for the 50 total alignment points, since it is much easier to attain while taking the most efficient path. After attaining Visas, our alignment doesn't matter anymore.

[section=Route Overview]

The order in which we visit planets is as follows:

Peragus -> Telos -> Korriban -> Dantooine -> Dxun/Onderon 1 -> Nar Shaddaa -> Onderon 2 -> Ravager -> Malachor V

The reasoning for the middle planets:

We do Korriban and Dantooine first, as there is little to no combat necessary until the end of Dantooine, and to obtain all the parts for the lightsaber as fast as possible.
We do Dxun and Onderon 1 since we have a better weapon, and to unlock Geeda’s guaranteed wares that require Dantooine and Onderon 1 to be completed.
Nar Shaddaa is done last, as there are some combat intensive segments that require the use of frag mines (from Dxun) for Atton and Mira, and we want to do the prior planets to unlock Geeda’s upgraded wares, which is crucial for our build.

[section=Detailed Route]

This section will describe all the actions you'll need to take for the Glitchless Any% run.

Notation:

indicates a level up to be done } indicates an inventory/equipment action to be done MC indicates the Main Character (aka you/The Exile)

Conversation Notes: If no conversation choices are specified, spamming will work (this chooses all 1 options). A | indicates a break in the conversation. You will have to talk to the person again. A -> indicates a secondary part to the conversation. This is different from -> in that the conversation automatically initiates, rather than having to talk to the same person. A #xY indicates repeat that option Y times, as in HK-50's first conversation. A #x- indicates the rest of this conversation uses that particular number, generally used to indicate conversation spam not using 1 (e.g Saedie's conversation)

(use Critical Hit, try to face him in back of Atton for sneak attacks) When officers come in, spam 1. 1 spam through the next dialog, then spam 2 (Get out + I don't want to talk about this). You'll get called twice. Press 2 1 to skip the call and rest. Once the officers come back in, spam 4 to end the conversation with Kreia/Atton (this should cast Force Speed as well). 1 spam through the Ithorian that talks to you outside the apartment. Run to the Ithorian Compound. Interact with the terminal in the Czerka area on the way. At the Ithorian Compound, leave MC at the nearby terminal, turn on solo mode and walk Kreia through the Ithorian Compound. Talk to Chodo: 1 spam.

*Optional: If a Sith War Sword OR Zabrak Vibroblade appears, buy it and sell 1 Vibrosword. If buying the Sith War Sword, you may need to take 1 less Stamina/Strength and no frag grenades to make up for the increased amount of money spent. Buying these weapons will make combat more consistent, but it is not worth resetting for those two weapons within the shop. If you see suitable armor as well, you should take the weapon over armor. *

This guide assumes you stick with the two Vibroswords as your main weapon.

Run to Dendis and buy enough medpacks to have 20 total.

Ending Credits: Roughly around ~1200 max, to a low of 200. This depends on whether or not you spent extra money to buy a upgraded weapon and/or armor.

From here on, the places where you level will vary. It is generally recommended to level up MC as soon as possible.

Afterwards, swap to MC: } Equip a Vibrosword x2, Plasma Torch as other weapon (OR the Sith War Sword OR Zabrak Vibroblade + Vibrosword)

Level to 4 on MC: Strength, Recommended, Force Valor

Enter the Docking Station, and 1 spam through the Czerka dialogue.

Run to the console and transition to Entertainment Deck: 2 2 Go inside the Cantina and talk to Luxa (1 spam) Exit and transition back to the Czerka area: 2 2 Run to the Exchange building and 1 spam the person outside and the receptionist inside (DO NOT USE KREIA TO APPROACH HER).

Pseudo-stim up, use Force Speed/Valor, and press 6 to initiate the fight. Afterwards, swap weapons (default key: H) to open the door (swap back to swords after) and talk to the gamorrean. Kill the two droids. 1 spam through the next cutscene and kill Luxa and bodyguards. After the convo (1 spam) loot Luxa and Benok's corpses for an Exchange Negotiator + Benok’s Blaster.

Leave the area and run back to the Ithorian Compound. Turn on solo mode and leave Kreia at the console, and head inside with the MC to talk to Chodo (1 spam). Afterwards, swap to Kreia and transport to the Cantina (2 2) Go inside the Cantina, turn on solo mode and swap to MC to talk to the czerka guy (stay on the right side of the group of people to avoid a cutscene, see picture).

Leave with Kreia and transition back to the Czerka area (2 2) Solo Mode, swap to MC and run to the apartments at the end of the area.
Open the middle door and threaten Opo: 1 2- Swap to Kreia and run to the Czerka compound to talk to the droid: 2 1-

Proceed to do the droid segment (1 spam through this segment) Go to the Czerka Compound, talk to Jane to open the door, and talk to the droid. 1 spam the console. Once done, return back to Chodo. After talking to Chodo as MC, run and transition to the Docks (2 1). 1 spam through the cutscene, talk to the Ithorian, use the console twice, and leave the area.

** Telos Surface **

Mouse spam through the cutscene (1 spam). Bring Kreia with you when promted. Turn on solo mode and run MC through the entire area.
In the next area turn solo mode on again, and run through the mines.
Before the cutscene with the Twilek, pseudo-stim up. Run past the Twilek, and use Force Valor before starting the fight: 4

You want to kill the nonshielded people immediately and round up the shielded people together. Then have everyone throw 1 ion grenade (use another as needed, though you want to keep 3 for later) to kill the last person.
Afterwards, place Bao-Dur and Kreia away from the fight so they don’t attack any more people. Take MC to the console and kill enemies around there.
Then click on it after battle (don’t spam until you see the cursor disappear else you have a high chance of skipping the cutscene which is considered a bug and makes your run invalid!)

Afterwards, turn on solo mode and run MC to the entrance of the Military Base

** Military Base**

This is one of the most difficult segments, as Bao-Dur has a lot of chances to get stunned and lose a lot of time, so make your way through the area quick. If he gets stunned, keep the energy shield and medpac going as needed. Beginners may want to make a manual save at the beginning*

Try not to make too many manual saves, as there is a long fade-in when reloading saves and that will cause Bao-Dur to act on his own. You may want to turn on Passive mode for him.

Turn on solo mode, swap to Bao-Dur, and do the menu below: } Unequip Plasma Torch on MC, give Bao-Dur the best armor you have, Plasma Torch, and an Energy Shield.

Use an Alacrity/Stamina stim on him, and turn on the energy shield. After the first cutscene, take MC to a corner and swap back to Bao-Dur.

Run Bao-Dur through the base until the hangar. There will be a cutscene that plays, IMMEDATELY pause after (1 1) and swap back to Bao-Dur.
Then open the two doors to the side (open left, use the console, then open the right door and turn off Solo Mode to bring your party members over.
Turn on Solo Mode once your party members teleport over and run through the next room again.
In the next room, you’ll see a Twi'lek. Use this picture below to dodge the trigger (if you hit it, just mash 1)

Afterwards, make your way through the room until you see a console with 3 droids.
Activate the console to disable the droids in the room, then proceed to the generator room (Heal as needed).
Activate the generator, then: } Unequip Bao-Dur, equip Plasma Torch + Energy Shield on Kreia

Swap to Kreia, turn on the energy shield and make your way to the room where you used the Console. On the right side, bash open the door and loot the container for 6 Parts.
Then loot the footlocker for the hangar code. } Unequip Kreia’s Plasma Torch

Swap to MC and activate the Hangar Doors. (You may want to make a manual save here in case the battle goes bad) Head to where the giant droid is and throw 4 Ion Grenades at the droid to kill it (if not dead, use only regular attacks to kill the droid) After the droid is dead, head to the ship to leave the Military Base.

** Polar Academy **

HK-50s accost you: 4 (spam it to cast Force Speed as well), and run away to the hidden door. Handmaiden talks to you: 2 Note: On legacy client you need to do 1 3 since the option above softlocks you. You will need to heal Geriel in Nar Shaddaa to make up the lost alignment point. Atris talks to you: 5 1 6 4 Then, head to the prison room: 1 7 1 ->1 spam when Bao-Dur talks to you.

Head to the Hangar Bay. Talk to T3 on the way (1 spam) } Equip Vibroswords (or the better weapon if bought), Plasma Torch to MC Leave the Polar Academy to the Ebon Hawk.

[section=Korriban]

More cutscenes to 1 spam through.
After the council cutscene: 1 3 1. Then spam 1 through the rest. Fly to Korriban.

Kreia talks to you: 3 2 Exit the Ebon Hawk, take Atton and Bao-Dur with you. Turn on solo mode, and make your way to the Academy.
Avoid the charred corpses on the way, since a cutscene with Kreia will activate. After the initial cutscene in the Academy, turn on Force Speed again.

Make your way to the crossroads, then take the path to your right.
Take the second left path all the way to the end (the purple path) and loot the footlocker there.

You may get trapped by various monsters, bop them a few times and keep trying to move so they will get out of your way.

Head to the console at #2: 1 2 3 1 4 4 4 2 1 2 2
Now run to the Training Room at #5 and activate the console twice: 1 | 1 3 3-
Run to the other end at #6, press 1 and loot Vash’s body, then console: 2 1 1 2

Then talk to the droid: 1

You may want to safety save just before the fight.

If needed, you can run backwards towards the pool so they can hit you one at a time.

Afterwards, loot the Sith for the Power Gauntlets. Run to the sarcophagus to loot Freedon Nadd's Lightsaber.

YOU MUST UNEQUIP VISAS BEFORE TALKING TO XARGA AGAIN OR ELSE YOUR RUN ENDS HERE } Unequip Visas's lightsabers, helmet, and MC's armband.

Enjoy the bathroom break cutscene with Mandalore and his crew. You can mouse spam when Visas comes into the cutscene.

** Ravager **

** As Remote: **

Be careful, as you generally only have 3 repair kits.

Afterwards, you'll be in the Trayus Academy with MC. Follow the maps outlined below:

As you'll be running through a lot of enemies, make sure MC is healthy and heal as needed.

Before Sion, use your full hyper stim suite: 9 You'll need to bring him to 1 hp a total of 4 times (1 spam through his dialog). Ignore any adds that come over.

Once he's dead, head to the Trayus Core.

Force Enlightment before proceeding

Traya: 4 4 She has a small chance of using a bad force ability on you, but you should be able to tank it. She should die within 3-5 hits.

Second Phase: 4 4 (prepare to IMMEDIATELY OPEN your menu after this) All your buffs are taken off, re-psuedo stim up (Use the other hyper strength stim), heal up Cast Force Enlightment again and hit her. Heal up as needed, as the floating lightsabers hurt.
