Discover a clever trick in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to completely avoid the tough Calo Nord fight on Tatooine. Learn the exact steps to bypass this challenging encounter.

Hey there! So, you're looking to get past that really annoying Calo Nord fight on Tatooine, huh? I've got a neat little trick that can help you skip it entirely. It's a bit specific, but totally worth it if you find that fight as brutal as I do. This only works if you're starting the Star Forge Quest on Tatooine, so keep that in mind.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you first encounter the Krayt Dragon and Calo Nord's crew, make sure you engage in the initial dialogue. Don't skip this part.
  2. 2
    After the dialogue is finished, and the dragon is dealt with (or you've seen the cutscene), here's the crucial step: WALK. Do not run. Slowly move behind the Krayt Dragon's body.
  3. 3
    Keep walking, maintaining a slow pace, all the way towards the Star Forge Planet (SPT). If you walk the entire way, Calo Nord and his Aqualish and Rodian buddies will completely ignore you. They'll just hang out by the speeders.
Tips
  • This method bypasses the fight entirely, meaning you won't get any XP or potential Dark Side Points (DSP) you might normally earn from defeating Calo Nord and his men. If you're aiming for a Dark Side playthrough and want those points, this isn't the path for you.
  • Calo Nord will not appear on any other planet if you skip him here, so this is your only chance to fight him if you want to.
  • I know this fight can be incredibly tough, often considered one of the hardest besides the final Malak encounter. If you're struggling, skipping him is a valid option.
  • Regarding the reward for the Krayt Dragon: If you refuse the pearl after declining the reward (as some walkthroughs suggest for LSP), you might not get the Light Side Points (LSP) the walkthrough promised. This seems to be a point of confusion, so be aware that the reward system can be a bit tricky depending on your choices.
  • For those playing a Dark Side character, leaving the dragon alone means you'll miss out on the pearls if you kill Komad. This is just a heads-up on how choices affect rewards.
