Hi

I dont know if people encountered this or not when you are playing the pklanet Malachor V in the Proving Grounds map there are two extra waypoints that show up:

1 - Meditation Chamber
2 - West Cells

Does anyone know how (if!!!) we can go there? There is no mention of it in the walkthrough

Also this is totally unconnected but i sent this to the webmaster and I never got any replies so at the rish of annoying the moderator/webmaster am putting it here (apologies in advance :) )

The first time you visit Dantooine you apprently can annoy a mechanic working at the landing site of the Ebon Hawk and you get a mission called redemption but then I did not find a way to accomplish the mission does anybody know what the heck happens there?

Thanks and appreciate the reponses

Well, for one, this thread really should have spoilers in the title, I believe. ;)
The first time you visit Dantooine you apprently can annoy a mechanic working at the landing site of the Ebon Hawk and you get a mission called redemption but then I did not find a way to accomplish the mission does anybody know what the heck happens there?
For this, check your current journal heading anbd post it here, so that we can better assist you, or check through the walkthrough to make sure you did everything.

You said apparently, so perhaps you missed your ability to do so... I have no idea what happens if you go before you have a lightsaber to dantooine, but talking to the droid near your landing site will attract the interest of the nearby mechanic, and he will quickly spread word. :)
1 - Meditation Chamber
2 - West Cells
Which map? Most maps you are capable of totally exploring on Malachor. What do you mean by inaccesible areas, and by waypoints? Places marked on the map?
Also this is totally unconnected but i sent this to the webmaster and I never got any replies so at the rish of annoying the moderator/webmaster am putting it here (apologies in advance)
Well, consider that this person who has to read your mail also has to read the mail of several hundred other people, through all the spam, daily. ;)

Now, did you use the form provided for anything missing in that particular walkthrough? If not, use it. If you did use it, then perhaps he did not recieve it. If so, try to send it again.

I am unsure if they will respond or not... I will go and check quickly. Given how hard it is to run a site with so many games, it may not be the case, so you might want to look for the update. :)

-edit-

[QUOTE=OldZombie]...two extra waypoints that show up:

Both of these map labels relate to areas that were cut when the game endings where "simplified". Your party was supposed to have been captured and placed in those cells, and you were supposed to rescue them.

The [url="http://www.team-gizka.org/"]TSL Restoration Project[/url] are restoring this as part of their mod project (raised in this [url="http://forums.team-gizka.org/viewtopic.php?t=136&highlight=malachor+prison"]thread[/url]- amongst others - on their forums; also discussed in their second [url="http://www.team-gizka.org/2005-04-18.html"]WIP[/url])

The Redemption quest can also be gained from adminstrator Adare and cannot be resolved at this time.

This is also being restored by the [url="http://www.team-gizka.org/"]TSL Restoration Project[/url] (discussion as part of the [url="http://forums.team-gizka.org/viewtopic.php?t=423&highlight=redemption+quest"]suggestions for inclusion[/url] thread on their forums)

My computer had a major crash and so I wasn't able to check here for a while.

Before anything I must say I did add the word spoiler in the title :) unfortunately the title was long so it might get cut when displaying.

I completely agree with Hill that a site like this, may I add a very good site, takes a lot of effort to maintain hence I was not utterly dissapointed with the lack of reply just curious what others thought, as the game is fairly old enough it would not have that much interest. So thanks for the reply.

Also I simply followed the link on the walkthrough pages which says click here to inform us about something we missed out it automatically created the subject and sent it to a particular address so I assumed that I had done my part, also on my part I explained the scenario in detail. Since this was not a strategy tip but more seeking help about a mission that was neither marked on the [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/starwarskotorii/locations/khoondaplains.php"]map[/url]
(should be next to the number 1 marker) nor was mentioned in the write up.

I did have a lightsaber, I did speak to the Mechanic and then the droid and thus got known as a Jedi and created the mission called Redemption, what w666 has managed to point out makes sense because I found no way to solve that mission. Same holds for the extra waypoints that show up in the Proving grounds map

I had also given a suggestion that for future walkthrough for games like KOTOR which have nicely named missions would it be also better to have links based on the names of the mission that way depending on mission you could find stuff related to it, I know its a little extra work :( but if possible would make the walkthrough even more helpful.

Oh and just to report I could not open the TSL Restoration project website so I dont know what the status on that is.

Thanks for your replies have finished the game once as light side am on it as a Dark hero now :)

I have also tried to make my way to the grounds. I didn't succeed...

I wouldn't worry about it though... I didn't.

http://www.team-gizka.org/forums.html is the link for the TSL restoration, try that. As for the Redemption mission, I never really bothered with it either. I strut around Dantoone proudly with doubly lightsabers :)
