Locked Footlocker in Enclave (spoilers, I guess)

Suicide Girl · Post by **Suicide Girl** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 10:47 am

[url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/starwarskotorii/locations/rebuiltjedienclave.php"]Map of the Enclave[/url] I'm standing at number 2 right now, and if you go straight up all the way to the topmost wall of the large room, there's a locked footlocker with a DC of 54 squatting there. I can't unlock it; when I equip my best Security-boosting items and use a tunneler, I only get to 42 vs. 54... When I use a mine on it, it stays locked, and when I bash it open, I get Components and a broken item.

I'd really like to know what's in there. In fact, I want to know so badly I'm actually considering using a cheat to raise my Security skill just for that itty bitty thingy... Yes. I'm that curious. Ah, shame on me.

So, before I go and do something foolish, could anyone tell me if there's something unique and otherwise un-findable inside? Or is it just another random-item spot? The only bit of information I could find was in [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55692"]this thread[/url].

[QUOTE=PersuAzN]I found Jolees's robe... Well my cousin did. He stayed as a neutral player the entire game.. i dont know how he did it (dont ask me lol).. im not sure if his class really had anything to do with it. But he found Jolee's Robes as a neutral player on Dantooine. on the Rebuilt Jedi Enclave. Remember in Kotor 1, the training room... thats it, in the same room on Kotor 2 u will find the foot locker.. open it, and he got Jolee's robes.[/QUOTE]

I understand this might be Yet Another Pointless Thread by Yours Truly; but I'd really like to know if whatever's inside is worth spotting up my record with a cheat.

So... What's hidden in the locker? Does it have anything to do with the PC's alignment, etc.?

I believe it's yet another random drop point, so what you find will be different from what I find. I do believe, however, that it tends to drop good items there, so whatever you find (if you cheat, that is) you shouldn't be too disappointed. If you are, just go back to your save game, try again, and see what else you get.

Always save before you open any chest, locker, or crate so if you get something you don't like reload your game, since everything is random.

Actually, according to a few walkthoughs I read the items in boxes are determined when you first load a room (the first time you go there). So you'd have to like, save before going anywhere, go in, and see if there's anything you like.

I think that's a bit wierd, having a 'Jolee's robe' item... Apart from the blue Jedi Knight robe you find him in, he can wear Master robes to Sith robes, and even sport a foxy little number from the fall line :laugh:

What color was Jolees Robe?

Jolee's Robes are light grey

Jolee's Robe
Jolee Bindo remained outside of the Jedi Order in his pursuit of knowledge. These powerful, yet unassuming robes were believed to have been owned by him, though his current where abouts is unknown. These robes can be upgraded with some underlays.

Defense Bonus: 3
Alignment: Neutral
Attribute Bonus: CHA +4
Regenerate Force Points: 1
Cannot be used by: Bao-Dur

you can find those in places at random, not just in the enclave as i could not pick the lock on the container in question and got a broken item, but i still found those jolee robes during my first game. i can't remember where though but i definately had them.

Ok, thanks everybody. I might give it a try...

Have you tried changing the difficulty level of your game while opening difficult locks? I've noticed that setting the game to 'easy' results in locks that were previously *Impossible* opening, so I suspect it may lower the level of the lock? (though I don't know how to find out the exact value of a lock...can anyone enlighten me?)

Suicide Girl · Post by **Suicide Girl** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 8:26 am

Oh! *insert emoticon banging his head against a wall* I should try that!

Anyhow, if you want to know the difficulty of a lock - unlock it, (it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail), then click the Journal icon, then the button in the lower left corner, Messages Log, then on the top of the screen, right below the set of icons, click on Feedback.

It should say something like (what's currently saying about my lockpicking attempt): YOURNAME failure Security: 25 (roll 20 + Security 5) vs. DC 54, where failure means you've failed (duh

), 25 is the total amount of skill you've attempted to use in the task, the brackets explain where the 25 total came from, and DC 54 is the difficulty of the lock.

And, yes, my bare Security skill points make a tragic sum.

EDIT Oh, and, if you succeeded in picking the lock, it will say success instead of failure. But I guess you gathered as much yourself.

EDIT 2 I tried lowering the game difficulty... the lock's now got DC 49 instead of 54. Oh well.

What is the base attribute that builds up your security skill? You might want to get some equipement on that can increase that as well.

mr_sir · Post by **mr_sir** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:29 pm

its either dexterity or intelligence- i think its intelligence - that boosts your security skill

virpyre · Post by **virpyre** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 1:14 am

INT - Computer Use, Demolitions, Repair, & Security
WIS - Awareness & Treat Injury
DEX - Stealth
CHA - Persuade

If you're really having trouble with a lock then use a Security Tunneler you can make them at the Work Bench, you only need a Security of 5 to make them.

ah so it is intelligence then. don't know about everyone else but i hardly ever seem to find int boosting items. anyone found any good ones i could look out for as i wouldn't mind picking that lock without cheating lol

There are a fewimplants but not much else. There are quite a few items that boost Security directly, though.

I've loaded up the final save slot of the 6 games I've completed so far, and here are all the items I've found which affect either INT ot SEC. I've only mentioned the effect they have on those two stats; most of them, of course, affect other stuff as well. If there are any requirements to equip them, I've put them in brackets eg. (CON16), meaning you need a CON of 16 to equip it...

IMPLANTS:
Mental boost package: +1INT(14CON)
Mental boost system: +2INT (16CON)
Universal D-package: +2INT (18CON)
Mental boost D-package: +3INT (18CON)
Skills package: +1SEC (12CON)
Skills Implant: +2SEC (14CON)
Skills System: +4SEC (16CON)
Skills D-package: +6SEC (18CON)

HEADGEAR:
Bothan perception visor: +2INT (Light Armor proficiency)
Interface band: +2SEC
Bothan sensory visor: +3SEC

BELTS:
Czerka Utility belt: +2SEC
Exchange Utility belt: +3SEC
Tech specialist belt: +4SEC

GLOVES:
Exchange casual gloves: +2SEC
Infiltrator gloves: +4SEC

ROBES:
Ossus Keeper Robe: +4INT

Most of these, of course, you won't have in any given game, the exceptions being the Ossus Keeper Robe, which is a fixed drop, not a random one... I have found saber crystals that boost all other stats, but never one that boosts INT, though I suppose one may exist; I'm still finding new rare crystals.

Still, if you DID have them all, you could put on the Ossus Robe, the Skills D-package, the Infiltrator gloves, the tech specialist belt and the Bothan sensory visor, which should give you a total of +19 to your SEC score. Add in the 5 you have naturally, and you are on 24. Add +6 for using a Security tunneler, and you have 30. So you should be able to open locks up to 50 SEC. Bingo!

(By all the Gods, I am such a sad geek, aren't I)

yeah, the implants are all i ever seem to find lol and not much good as i rarely play a character with con above 12 lol. i already knew about the security boosting items, just was interested if there were any decent int boosting ones too. thanks for typing all that out though - i'll look out for some of those

The Ossus Keeper Robe is a fixed, not random one. You get it when you loot the museum on Onderon...
