Guide to selling racing bonds on the Ebon Hawk, dealing with Nico, and returning to the swoop track in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Includes tips for persuasion and bargaining.
Walkthrough
- 1After completing all races, speak with Nico. Use Force Persuade to convince him to accept the deal. Standard Persuade may also work (Persuasion rank 4 is often sufficient). If persuasion fails, you can threaten to kill him to force acceptance. For players with high Dark Side Points (DSP), persuade Motta to secure a better deal for Nico. If unable to persuade Motta, threaten him. Bastila can assist by Force Persuading Motta for a better contract, preventing DSP gain from the threat.
- 2Upon exiting the swoop track, a fan will request an autograph. This interaction has no alignment changes, so respond as you see fit.
- 3East of the swoop track, you will encounter Dark Jedi who express Lord Malak's displeasure and promise a reward for your demise. They utilize Force powers similar to your level, so be prepared.
- 4After the Dark Jedi encounter, proceed to the Anchorhead Cantina and speak with Helena, Bastila's mother. Following an argument between Helena and Bastila, Helena will ask you to find a holocron belonging to Bastila's father, who died hunting a krayt dragon.
- 5After selling your racing bonds, go to the droid shop located near the Dune Sea exit on the northeastern side of Anchorhead. Speak with the merchant and HK-47. The merchant offers HK-47 for 5,000 credits. Dark Side players can aggressively bargain (threaten to kill the merchant) to reduce the price. Non-Dark Side players can ask the merchant to lower the price, reducing it to 4,000 credits, and then ask again for a further reduction without alignment penalty.

Tips
- Persuasion checks with Nico and Motta can be influenced by your character's Charisma and Persuade skill.
- Threatening NPCs can lead to Dark Side Point gains unless specific conditions are met (e.g., Bastila's intervention).
- HK-47 is a valuable companion, but consider his combat effectiveness based on your party composition.
