FInding the HK Factory

[RupertGiles 0]

Hi all,

 

It looks like I missed the clue about having HK in your party when you encounter HK assassin squads to activate this quest.  I just finished the final encounter with Atris and am now trying to figure out how far back I need to go in my save history to have a do-over and recover this.  Does anyone know how many times HK-47 has to meet his clones (or any other steps) needed to find the location of the factory and activate the quest?  BTW, what is the exact name of the quest, anyway, so I can be sure I succeeded when I see it in the journal?

 

Thanks!

It's 3 times. (I'm pretty sure he doesn't have to be in your party when you encounter them, but I could be wrong.)

The real trick is that you need to talk to HK-47, get him to mention a proverb, and then have him repeat it. He will then go into a line of dialog where you discuss the Sonic Imprint Sensor you picked up on Peragus and he will tweak it to help locate the HK Factory.

 

After this, you will need to encounter three groups of HKs, and HK-47 does not have to be with you.

Thanks very much to both of you.  I figured out the dialog options and have a general idea of where all the HK encounters are now.  I'm very torn about winding all the back to about the halfway-point in the game now though, as you need 3 encounters and I think there are only 6 total in the game, correct?  So I'd need to re-do 2 entire planets (Dxun/Onderon and Korriban were my most recent completed).

 

I've seen the cut-scenes on you-tube and may (or may not) decide to go back at some point to play the HK factory quest with a totally new character.  However, one thing I'll definitely be regretful about is if there are significant plotlines I will miss at the end of the story if I didn't do the HK factory.  Does anyone know what "determine the final fate of Malachor" means?  Are there restored endings to the story I won't be able to see?  The rushed/empty-feeling ending was one of the worst travesties of the original game, IMO.
