Where is the rancor?

[Klaatu]

I've got Mission in my party, I've been all over the sewers, watched many Youtube walkthroughs, and still no sign of the rancor. I see in all the videos that the correct path is through the door to the left of the "waterfall", but every time I go through it, I just end up at a dead end (and no sight of the severed arm either).

Just read a post that said it's a known bug for a few people, and a kotor "restoration" mod was suggested. I don't like to install 3rd party apps or mods. Is there another way to get the rancor to appear? Enjoying the game but if I can't find rancor, is that a gamebreaker, and I'm out of luck...game over?

I've been playing the game and browsing forums dedicated to it since 2005 and I've never heard of this bug.

If you really can't get in, look into enabling cheats https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=149122961#:~:text=Open%20up%20swkotor.,Press%20enter and warping into the module manually via the warp code: "warp tar_m10aa" without the quotation marks.

It's in the lower sewers in big room right before the entrance to vulkars base

Thanks!
That worked great!

Started a New game, took your advice, then backtracked and found the rancor, so maybe I was doing something wrong before (or maybe it was due to being a new game?). It's interesting playing the game in reverse (backtracking and starting from scratch).
Haven't gone back to the start yet, so my rapid transit/"return to home base" option is disabled, but it hasn't been a problem (just made me less reckless).
Maybe I'll eventually go back to my first game, and try to find that elusive rancor (without the cheats), and finish that game as well.

As a noob to this game (and the Star Wars series in general), I can see why so many people consider this the best Star Wars game. The story is really good. Once you get used to the turn-based combat system, as the story unfolds, you realize how good the game is. The graphics aren't too bad for an old game either.
