Nar Shaddaa?

[Ridley12, Knight of God]

I would like to know what is the best way to navigate Nar Shaddaa in that as many quests, including Bonus Missions, can be completed as possible, and that the landspeeder can be fully repaired? I think it might be Refugee Sector->Docks->RS->Entertainment Promenade->Docks. Also, to make sure I don't "lock" up to two of my party members, when are good times to save the game, so that I get "maximum coverage" over the max of 10 manual saves (I have this thing where the party members I used during the Red Slaver part are unable to be used after that part) so?

EDIT: I use TSLRCM.

*SPOILER*

I use TSLRCM and already have a lightsaber from Dantooine before I get to Nar Shadaa. On that basis what I do is -

Get landspeeder part from workshop area near landing pad. Do all minor quests in central hub but not merchants or swoop gallery (they can be done after GOTO's yacht).

Docks. Talk to Vogga about GOTO. Do everything else, particularly the Ithorian in the flophouse (2nd landspeeder part). Don't forget to pick up the 3rd landspeeder part from the pylon room nearest the Jek Jek Tar.

You can do the entertainment area before or after the docks.

Take Atton and Bao Dur into the refugee sector (you can get influence with them and they help fixing the landspeeder). Do not go back to the central area, particularly once you have done quests in the refugee sector, as the next time you do the slavers will trigger. Do quests in the refugee sector including fixing the landspeeder.

You can go back and forth between the refugee sector and the docks in the landspeeder. You can swap party members in and out in the docks area. Once you go back into the central area the Red Eclipse slavers will probably trigger and you will be committed to it with the party members you have at that point.

Once you leave the Hawk after defeating the slavers the Exchange message may well trigger and commit you to the GOTO's yacht sequence.

Good luck.

I would go to the Refugee Sector first, to help get the family off the planet, among other quests. I mean, I DID say as many quests as possible. That includes Bonus Missions, as well.

I am perfectly aware of what you were looking for. The way to get the family off planet is to do the freighter quest for Fassa on your first visit to the docks, then pick up the quest when you are in the refugee sector. After completing GOTO's yacht you go back to Fassa and he will agree to arrange passage for them. You do not need to get the Ithorian to take them.

The path I have suggested will, I believe, allow you to do every possible quest on Nar Shadaa. The only limitations are whether you are playing light or dark as you may not wish to gain alignment points opposite to your chosen alignment.

I am playing my usual LS character. But what you're saying is, Docks->RS->Entertainment Promenade->Docks, right? Or RS->Docks->RS->Docks->EP?

[Ridley12, Knight of God]

No, you're saying EP->Docks->RS, then swap between Docks and RS as necessary.

Exactly. There are a few quests (swoop gallery, merchants) that may not get done until after GOTO's yacht but they can be left until then. As LS the path I am suggesting should get as many quests as you can do and still repair the landspeeder.

I always do as much stuff in the landing pad as I can, like getting the Trade War mission, and then explore the other areas. I just don't understand why the airspeeder gets sabotaged, though I would assume bounty hunters/members of the Exchange sabotage it.

[cerberusiv]

It is quite a while since I settled on this path but I am a little cautious about doing too much in the central area before the entertainment promenade/docks/refugee sector. I don't know if it is possible to trigger the Exchange message before you ever reach the refugee sector. I doubt it but as the trade war and swoop gallery can be done at the end I leave them unless I need them to trigger the Exchange.

I think the gameplay reason the airspeeder gets sabotaged once you get the Exchange message is to force you to move around on foot so you only have a single route to each objective and cannot use the airspeeder to bypass any of it and avoid any of the bounty hunters that you have ti fight through.

Yeah, that would make sense. Also, you should probably look at "any of the bounty hunters that you have ti fight through." You wrote a word wrong, haha.

Good catch. Years ago I learned to touch type but, due to a health issue, I'm down to using one finger these days and often hit the wrong key. Mostly I catch and correct the mistakes but that one got through.

Maybe it's too late but this is the best guide I've found. With these, you did every secondary quest , get the influences and don't will run like a headless turkey:

That's a good guide for NS. Essentially the same path as I indicated but a bit more detail.
