Would you be so kind and explein to me how to defet Fyyar armored with his exoskeleton?

Wow. Let’s see if I remember any of that battle: I believe the enemy is outfitted in an exoskeleton that has some sort of personal forcefield generator. He’s also firing all sorts of nasty stuff at you, which makes it rather easy to die. You’re fighting him in a room that has a number of pillars within the perimeter wall and—if I recall correctly—Fyaar is unable to manuever directly behind those pillars, thus offering you the opportunity to get him temporarily hung up and unable to shoot you.

Defeating Fyaar involves lots of running away, putting those pillars between you and him. At the same time, you’ve got to hit him with some kind of concussive force (I think) to momentarily disable the forcefield generator. Once the field is down, you can charge in and wail on him with your lightsabre, but I believe there is a specific spot on the armor that you need to destroy (probably to permanently disable the forcefield). I think that spot is fairly easy to recognize, but I apologize if that’s not the case; my memory is rusty, at best.

Best to go into battle with a full load out of rockets, if you can. Hit properly (possibly from behind, but again I don’t recall exactly; it’s been a while), the forcefield should drop after one or two rockets. Then hit him a few times with your lightsaber until the forcefield comes back up (I think it might knock you off your feet when it is reactivated). Wash, rinse, repeat.

Best of luck!

rrooaaaahhhrrrrr (wookie howl).

hmmm… yes, that would be good. Are you playing mulitplayer?

I haven’t, but I’d certainly like to. Jedi Outcast is my favorite multiplayer FPS on the PC.

Come to think of it, I may have traded in Jedi Outcast when I traded in a bunch of games to get an X-Box…. hmm… I ‘ll look when I get home.

I’ve you’ve still got it and want to play, send me an e-mail and we’ll get our lightsabers on.

hmmm… yes, that would be good. Are you playing mulitplayer?

I might have to reinstall this game. I got halfway through the game on an old computer that really coudn’t handle it at the time. My current computer would create a much better experience and maybe get me to the end…

Reinstalling the game would also give you an opportunity to kill me with your Wookiee bowcaster, P.G.; something I know you’ve fantasized about for some time.

I played the game up til the tavern just after he gets his lightsaber. I always found lightsaber combat annoying in that game. Anyway, I killed everyone and then ran around in a small area with no exits for 15 minutes. Couldn’t figure out where to go from there. I uninstalled the game. Currently playing Empire at War, which is pretty cool. I blew up the Death Star this weekend, and now I’m playing through as the Empire.

Is that the taverns with the blue-skinned Chiss who talks in pluralses behind the counters? If so, after the big firefight, Kyle talks to the bartender again and learns that he needs to follow the garbage haulers. The only way to access the rest of Nar Shaddaa is to go to the second floor of the tavern and access the walkways from there. The second floor exit is almost directly above the door through which Kyle originally entered the tavern.

There was one spot in the game where I needed to resort to the walkthrough just to figure out what to do next. After killing everyone in the mining facility (the second mission, I believe), I knew that I needed to get to an area that I hadn’t yet explored. I could see the entrance, but couldn’t get to it. I also knew that I’d need to hop aboard one of the hovering mining cars, and had figured out where to do so. Unfortunately, any time the mining car was in the proper position, the area was flooded with radiation, and I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. The walkthrough pointed me to an exhaust shaft that I hadn’t previously seen, probably because I didn’t have the brightness configured properly.

I’ve got Empire at War but haven’t played it as much as I should have. Perhaps I’ll play through the Rebellion campaign after I finish Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption. I see there’s an expansion for EaW available that lets you play as a smuggler-type. That sounds like it could be interesting.
