Getting very sick and tired of...

the Handmaiden's bull ♥♥♥♥♥.

Ok so I want to turn her dumb♥♥♥♥♥into a Jedi. First ever play through i got the bug for Visas, making Handmaiden a whiney ♥♥♥♥♥ who will no longer talk to me.

i immediatly drop my save and create a new one cuz im like ok i didnt get TOO far, only on Nar Shadaa.

New save file im running through the game having a blast, ignoring Visas and i finally get to the 3rd training with Handmaiden... APPARENTLY NOW I LEARN you have to be SPECIFIC with the lines you select when trying to convince her to become a jedi...

SHE ACCEPTED my training but still wont convert or change class... i learn you had to make her completely drop the oath or whatever. So im at my witts end now, 8 hours in i dont want to start a new game again, as i said before THIS IS MY FIRST time playing KOTOR 2 and im amazed at it, but now im drained cuz all i want is a squad of dark jedi....

converting this hand maiden is becoming time consuming and bothersome.

Is there anything i can do to make her a Jedi in this play through? or do i have to start over AGAIN and make sure i select the correct sentences when i finish the 3rd tier of training?
I think i read i have to kill Atris but isnt that late game??? making it almost pointless to wait so long to convert Handmaiden?

♥♥♥♥ the handmaiden.

Handmaiden is one of the easiest to convert - as long as you don't talk to Visas until it is done.

You should be able to convert her at this point. What you need to do is -

follow the conversation about not wearing clothing to train/you are crippling yourself/don't you have any clothing until she puts on her mother's jedi robes.

Then go talk to Kreia about Handmaidens mother and find out who she was.

Finally, go back to Handmaiden and talk to her about her mother and the force flowing in bloodlines and she should decide to break her oath to Atris and accept your training.

I don't remember the exact dialogue but it isn't too complicated. Just take a save before you start so you can go back. The key thing I guess you haven't been doing is talking to Kreia.

I usually leave Handmaiden on the ship and don't level her up until I am at lvl 18 then do all 3 sparring matches and convert her. It is a minor pain not being able to use her until then but the upside is she gets all those levels as a jedi with force powers.

I have. I've never had a problem doing so, perhaps because I avoid the dark conversation choices with her.

Yeah you can. ihavent tried to do it without cheating though lol. I used the KOTOR2 save editor to constantly keep her and my own affinity where i want them. After you fight Atris she fully commits to either the light or the dark but before that you can easily convert her to a jedi and give her the powers of a sith. Just follow what Cerberus said earlier in my post.

I cheat cuz i just dont have the time. Makes the game flow easier for me.

It's actually really easy to convert handmaiden into being a dark jedi.
You just can't have her in your party when you make shady decisions so her influence doesn't drop, all you have to do is keep fighting her and occasionally be a good guy and bam. Instant dark handmaiden

Edit:
Same thing works with bao-dur, Mira (Although that one was a ballache to do) and Atton

[Anaverageguy41]

If you wanted an Evil mira, my go to was to do Nar Shaddaa first, don't go fully evil just yet, stay neutral goodish.
Then as soon as she's in your party, drop alignment asap after getting some influence with her and repeat the same process as with handmaiden.
You'd be surprised at how convieniently you can swap out party members
