Game Trick - SW KoTOR - Manaan Xerox Glitch

Here is an interesting, and fun trick that I use on occassion to get copies of rare, unique, or expensive items. Some may call it cheating, but really, if you've played KoTOR a couple times, there's nothing wrong with it in that respect. That being said, I do have to give this disclaimer, because this is a glitch that I'm about to tell you how to exploit.

Exploiting any glitch in KoTOR, or any other game for that matter, may cause problems with the gameplay later on. Most glitches that you can exploit for benefit in KoTOR are relatively harmless, and this one is no exception. However, there have been reports of items that were supposed to be duplicated being switched with other items instead, so problems can occur.

Save before you attempt this glitch (since you have to save it anyway), and reload the save file if anything should go wrong. Exploit this glitch at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that may happen. I bring this information to you freely, without any pressure to use or not use what you read here. Take it as you will.

And now...

The Manaan Xerox Glitch for SW KoTOR

Remember those nifty little airlocks in the underwater Republic base on Manaan, and how you had to explore out in the water alone while the other two in your group stayed behind in the base? Remember how they met you at the airlock when you finished with your work in the water? Well, guess what? They were spawned there. And this, my friend, is your invisible Xerox machine.

Go to the first airlock you come to when you enter the underwater base. It doesn't matter which one of the three you go to. Make sure you have the underwater enviromental suit, so you can go out the airlock into the water. Equip the items you want to duplicate onto your teammates that you will leave in the base. If the equipment that you're wearing is what you want duplicated, then give it to your teammates for the time-being. Be sure you bring teammates that can wear the equipment you want to duplicate. If they can't wear it, it can't be duplicated.

Now, save the game before you exit the airlock. Then, unequip everything from your teammates, leaving them in nothing but their underwear, and go out the airlock into the water. You can either complete your work under the water and exit out of the final airlock (but if you do, be sure you do NOT save the game in-between), or you can turn around and go back in the same airlock. Either way, your team will be respawned, with all the equipment they had on from your last save. That means that everything you unequipped from them is back on, and the unequipped items are still in your inventory, waiting to be used or sold. Ta da! Duplicates of up to 18 items, 9 from each of the two teammates!

You can repeat this process as many times as you want. Just remember, problems may occur when exploiting this glitch. Use it at your own risk and discretion.

Until next time, may the Force be with you.
