I swear to god, the Handmaiden vs Sisters battle is impossible

[Lunk]

I don't know if this is part of the Restored Content Mod [TSLRCM] which I have installed but after Korriban (and droid world which 'is' part of TSLRCM) you have to go to Telos where the Handmaiden and Kreia has gone to, and then, at least in my playthrough because I've made Handmaiden my padawan her sisters and Atris will say she's betrayed them and you have to fight 5 sisters as once only controlling Handmaiden.

Tell me again, how the hell is it even remotely possible to beat these? They have absurd amounts of health and they beat me within 2 seconds unless I keep kiting them and I run out of force too quickly. If this is part of TSLRCM then I think the modders who made that seriously messed up the difficulty becuase this is insane.

Is there any god-mode cheat for Kotor 2 i can pull? I just want to get this part over with. It ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks.

do u have her built and geared? cause ive always beat them silly maybe it is ur mod cause ive never used the mod

p.s. i dont have the game on steam but have played at least 50 run throughs

If you made her a Jedi/Dark Jedi then it shouldn't have been too difficult. You can try loading up on stims and a melee shield as soon as the fight begins. Shield first, then stims. Also try to break combat and run away, place mines and kite the sisters into them. Mines are wickedly effective against them cause they have no armor. Oh and use flurry attacks, it does more damage to weakly armored enemies.

The first time I tried doing this it was damn near impossible, but it can be done if you know what you are donig. Unfortunantly if you don't have the right gear/items and didn't build her stats/force powers properly you are SOL.

But yes there are cheat codes. It invovles adding the line "EnableCheats=1" to the Game Options section on the swkotor2.ini config file. I would strongly recommend not using them though as your game gets a CHEATER watermark over the save file's picture to remind you that you didn't finish it legitimately. You might not think its such a big deal, but for some reason it just gets to you that you didn't do it properly and had to cheat (I know, I had to cheat the first time I did it).

Thanks for the protips and I'll try not to cheat. Problem is her build maybe. I auto-leveled her a lot so she basically has no nothing but insanely high "treat injury" but as far as I'm aware the others don't give a lot of boosts to combat except for maybe awareness.

Yep that's the issue. If you took the time to make her your disciple in the force, you should have taken the time to level her proper too. Take the soldier skills of hers, combine with the jedi guradian skills, and she can be so good in melee combat she will wipe the floor with her former sisters.

Another issue might also be if you have her wear light armor (e.g. Jedi robes). The Handmaidens all have insane flurry skills so they murder people in lighter gear. If you don't have offensive force powers, you might want to try break combat and equip something heavier. I normally give all my disciples Jal Shey or similar armor that does not block the force. You get the added benefit of armor ontop of being non-force restricted.

But really if you auto-leveled her and can't do it just use the codes. There is no point in restarting the game at this point, we won't blame you lol.

M4-78EP isn't part of TSLRCM btw.
But yes, this part is. KOTOR2 is much more reliant on teammates with their solo sections and auto-leveling really is never a good idea.

If you try to fight all of them at once, you're bound to loose, use powers/nades or running to seperate them a bit and finish them off at sizeable stacks. If you never leveled her melee skills, she probably would be better in hand-to-hand than with any weapon either.

BS. I had my Handmaiden built as Darth Malak, and geared as a dark side sith abomination, with high strength, dexterity, kick-ass wisdom and high enough charisma! Regardless of that, you can't stand against these "stick-chicks" without kiting them.
This fight is completely unbalanced and broken. Sister's strength being scaled up according to skill and gear of Handmaiden. So she's doomed to be sad and useless.

I don't find it that hard, even at hard difficulty. It comes down to levelling her properly as a jedi for melee combat with a double bladed lightsaber and good equipment. Biggest problem I find is accidentally killing some of the sisters when playing light side so save after you take out each one.

There is no, absolutely no, combat in the game that can't be beaten if you go about it the right way.

Gads, this scene seems very broken.
Shields do nothing, I didn't make her a jedi but she had decent equipment, leveled up and all that, yet I could barely kill one of them. It ruins the "play your own way" style of this game when you have to keep all the characters you din't care to use fully maxed out as well.

If you did not make her a jedi (why not?) have you given her either Heavy Flex or Felenar armour that is fully upgraded with bonded plates overlay and strengthening underlay, levelled her for unarmed combat and equipped her with gloves for unarmed combat. She will also need an implant that protects against critical hits. With life support packs, shooting up on stims before the combat starts and possibly a few Mandalorian power shields that should do it.

Tip: turn the difficulty down to easy for this fight, that should help.

[red255]

if you have REPAIR skill the number of components you get from breaking stuff down is increased elsewise you can buy some cheap items and break them down for one component.

then have a skilled party member usually T3-M4 go and craft things to make an awesome weapon. If she's not a Jedi she's a soldier, and can use vibroblades... no haste.

Honestly the only reason to jedi her is to give her master speed

and Lightsabers upgrade more.

But you start with lets say a Sith Tremor sword and a zabrak Vibroblade. you give them
Ostrine Edge
Vibration Cell MK IV
Superior Zabrak Grip
Superior Nagai Grip.

You got some swords that should rip thru the handmaidens easily enough.

Ya, I had beaten it, about 30 advanced medpacks and 10 simulents later... I didn't mess with the difficulty setting though.

She does have heavy armor, good overlays, etc. The problem with the shields is the handmaidends are doing 50-100 damage per hit, and the melee shields only cover 50 damage so I figured I was just wasting time with that one.

I ended up with the same tactic as the others mentioned here, just exploting the glitchy pathfinding, running around until they all got stuck and fought one at a time. I don't consider that a legitamate win though, feels more like a cheat to me.

The scene just feels very unbalanced. The rest of the game has been a breeze on normal difficulty, but we'll see as I play through the rest of these scenes to see if it's just this one or all of them.

[cerberusiv]

To be honest I would say the scripted "boss" fights can be a bit odd compared to the normal enemies. They often require a particular approach, different to normal combat. In your favour there is only one more companion vs boss fight (and only if you are using TSLRCM), the others all use the main character so are less problematic.
