I'm really struggleing to beat the handmaidens when i fight all five at once ive never done it before and i was determined to do it this time as im a guardian but they destroy me.
Any tips would be appriciated, also is there any point to it, ie do you get anything cos if you dont and they keep beating me then ill just leave it.

I beat them easily as LS. note I am redoing the game again as a LS Weapon Master after I beat it I will go DS Sith Lord. Alright turn on your mandelorian melee shield and just focus one by one. I used a double bladed sword with a zabrak grip witha cinnegar wars suit and sheilding viser. If you are light side guardin and have heal dont worry about using powers that are not push or heal becuase those are all you need. I used a lot of healing kits, but with all the chemicals I had I could make a lot more. It is all about lasting a long time so dont worry about wasting supplies.

I've done it several times

It helps to have high stength, constitution and carisma (14+), but you can't do much about that at this point.

When you challenge the handmaidens to this last battle, it fades to black, and then fades up from black. Pause the game just as it STARTS to fade back in. It will continue to fade up, but this gives you the maximum time to do things before they attack.

Start a mandalorian melee shield, and boost your speed with the Force. Run around the three coming at you to the far side of the mat, and throw a granade (concusion works for me). This usually blows one or two of them off the mat, and they are out of the match. Start up another melee shield if necessary, then use whirlwind to try to blow more off the mat. Use push if you don't have whirlwind.

Once you have three or less handmaidens to worry about, you won't be starting up your shield every roll, and you can beat them down one by one.

Hope this helps.

cheers guys ill give that a try.

It would also help if you paid attention to the rules...
"Do not leave the area"

The easiest way to beat the five of them is to just run around the matt and if they don't step out on their own, just a little force push and boom. It's 2 vs. 1 or even 1 vs. 1

i just did it with guardian

it was really easy cuz i had force storm 2 and insanity with force whirle wind.... i made them insane then hit force whirle wind which shot them off the mat.... there was one handmaiden that could resist all i ended up beating her bare handed... which i have been doing until i make a lightsaber... gamorean gauntlet gloves... pretty sweet i am stronger bare handed than with sword(s) kotor 2 master

Well, there is always the, hit, save, load, hit again glitch. But that should take you ages.
My Dark Consular - Ender (yeah, i usually name him Ajdaha, but it was time for a change), having -8 dex, and -8 str (but had 15 constitutuion, naturally) could not hope to succeed by fighting physically.
Hell, even though my con was 15 (I forgot what equipment added, oh yeah it became 16 because of "myname"'s armband) I was taking lots of damage from the 2 maidens behind me when I started, and soon after the other three would catch up. Even knight valour was USELESS, at that point.
My best attribute being wisdom, which started out as 18 and I have been increasing just that attribute every four levels, and charisma was not so bad at 13. Of course the clothes I had on my back at the time raised my wisdom to about a +7 modifier (it sounds funny 8)) and my charisma, well that stayed at +1 I'm sure.
My strategy was to use force scream (number 2) and then 1 to 2 force lightnings should have disposed of the handmaidens. Unfortunately, I can only shoot in one direction, weather it be force scream or force lightning. So that left me with two options, shoot at the three ahead and get your ass kicked (literally) by the two behind, or turn aroud and shoots back at the two and once the three reach you, a turn later, while finishing of the two you started spraying with lightning and screaming at get your ass kicked by the three handmaidens behind you.
No-win situation, right? WRONG. (you pancake-frying-monkey scruber!??!)
When the fight begins, run to your right and run to wards the other side of the mat. Get behind the three handmaidens. And now shoot your force scream level 2. You shall affect all 5 of the snow-ladies. Then do your magic with the flourescent lighting show that i call force lightning. It sure is nice to kick ass isn't it!!?!

Cheers guys i got it done. knocked a few of them of the mat with grenedes and i never realised that you could equip armour after the fight started and not break the rules which obviously helped alot.

In the last fight you are actually allowed to do whatever you want!

except leave the matt
