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

I recently did it and decimated the sisters with only a Jedi robe and a heavily upgraded double saber. I used force storm a few times to take out crowds then just speed and master flurry and messed them up.

However I didn't level up handmade from level 6 til 20, and turned her into a Jedi from level 6 beyond. So she was a pretty savage character.

Yes, I could do just about every other battle pretty easily. This was this first one that was difficult. Still working on it...Ooooh.

Finished it.
The run away and throw grenades tactic worked well. Thanks!
Also, put on very defensive armor...

at a certain point in the campaign things start getting dangerous. like I would easily cut thru my enemies with my various buffs on, but if I let them wear off I'd find myself getting stunned and taken out.

before cheating outright, always consider setting the difficulty to easy. which lowers the enemy saves and makes them vulnerable to disabling force powers or grenades.

they are using their fists, perhaps instead of blasters you could use a vibrosword. as I recall the sith tremor sword and echani vibroblade do a large amount of damage. they don't deflect blasters, but as I recall the damage was respectable. fully upgraded.

she was a soldier, might be able to do pretty well with heavy armor with upgrades to increase physical damage reduction and force barrier to further reduce physical damage. been a while.

Started up the game, the game has a heavy armor M'uhk'gfa along those lines 8 defense and comes with 10 physical resist. Toss a master force barrier for stopping 15 points of physical damage, so a combined 25 physical damage reduction.

toss on a melee shield.

I don't think you can stack underlays with armor damage reduction so just go for a 20% physical damage reduction and a strengthening underlay. For +3 str/con which combines with master force valor to be +8 strength and con.

Would go with a fully upgraded sith tremor sword and echani vibroblade ideally. but frankly speaking the armor should hold. all of these could be spawned on the first merchant in Telos citadel station.

After concluding that this is by far the worst combat experience in the game, I would like to tell anyone who got to this part and is feeling extra ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

The second the fight starts, turn around and start running. If you weave yourself through the hallways of the complex you'll be able to get them disengaged pretty far away from each other. The rooms are big enough that if they're still on your ass you can take a wide u-turn and go back out and try and lose them on some more corners and hallways. After that you should be able to just back track and take them out one by one, although I may have gotten lucky and you might need to try a bit harder to get them spread further apart. At this point, even if you're a bit lacking you should be able to dispatch them with the help of shields and medpacs, and can even open them up a bit before you get close if you have some grenades to spare.

It's unfortunate the mod makers haven't re-balanced this scene to improve it at all, as I completely agree with your assessment that this is the worst combat experience in the game. I found the rest of the combat in the game easy, borderline boring. I don't know much making such changes to the game was in the scope of the project though.

From the others' comments it looks like you've got to re-load and specialize your equipment for the encounter, be following a walkthrough, or have her maxed out to begin with.

Personally I found the Handmaiden and Visas just annoying fan service and ignored them as much as I could. In the least I would have appreciated hint that she would need to be strengthened before facing the encounter.

Handmaiden needs her own dedicated gear and a double lightsaber, nothing special. The only "trick" I use is to leave her on the Hawk until my main character reaches level 18, THEN complete the 3 sparring matches with her and turn her into a jedi BEFORE leveling her. That way she gets all her levels as a jedi with jedi powers. The other advantage I get is that I play using the M4-78 mod so am a few levels higher by the time I reach the Handmaiden and her sisters fight. That is just knowledge from playing the game many times and I don't keep it a secret.

Hell, my Handmaiden could probably take Atris at that point Unfortunately the fight is rigged to prevent that.

Visas is totally kickass if levelled to her strengths. Go lightsaber finesse, double or dual sabers, a good robe and pump CON and DEX (DEX from gear especially. That will push her defence up. Take the jedi powers chain to either Stasis field or Insanity. Before entering combat get Energy resistance on, hit the opposition with Stasis Field/Insanity to disable them, Kick in Master Force Speed (if you are LS this is where the special power you get after encountering the surviving Jed Masters at the rebuilt Enclave pays off) and just slice and dice until there are no enemies left standing, renewing Stasis/Insanity as required. There is not much she cannot take down that way.

All covered in my Companion Build Guide.
