Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Hints

Special Color Crystals

  • 1 of 5: Both of these are available at the Yavin Space Station for exorbitant amounts of money near the end of the game
  • 2 of 5: The two special crystals are called the Heart of the Guardian and the Mantle of the Force. They both make your lightsabers into interesting new colors, and enhance, or at least change, the effects of enhancing crystals on your saber.
  • 3 of 5: The Heart of the Guardian has the following effects on enhancement crystals that I have been able to discern:

    Bondar: Stun 25% for 6 seconds, Save DC14 to negate stun
    Rubat: Damage +2, Attack +2
    Sigil: Damage -- Energy +1-8, Attack +2
    Damind: Damage +2, Attack +3
    Nextor: Attack +1 (no Critical Threat Range multiplier)
    Opila: Damage +3, Attack +2, +2-12dmg on critical hit
    Krayt Dragon Pearl: Damage +1-8, Attack +3
    Jenruax: Damage +2, Blaster Deflection +7
    Luxum: Damage +2-12 vs. Droid, Attack +3
    Phond: Damage -- Physical +1-10
    Firkrann: Damage +3-18 vs. Droids, Attack +3
    Solari: Damage +1-10, Attack +2, Blaster Deflection +4
    Sapith: Damage +4, Attack +3
    Upari: Damage +2-12, Attack +4
  • 4 of 5: The Mantle of the Force has the following effects on enhancing crystals.

    Bondar: Paralyze 25% for 6 seconds, Save DC14 to negate stun
    Rubat: Regeneration Force Points +3
    Sigil: Damage -- Energy +1-8, Attack +2
    Damind: Damage +1, Attack +1, Regeneration Force Points +3
    Nextor: Attack +1 (no Critical Threat Range multiplier)
    Opila: Damage +3, Attack +2, +2-12dmg on critical hit
    Krayt Dragon Pearl: Attack +4, Blaster Deflection +3
    Jenruax: Damage +2, Blaster Deflection +7, Dexterity +1
    Luxum: Damage +2-12 vs. Droid, Attack +3
    Phond: Damage -- Physical +1-10
    Firkrann: Damage +3-18 vs. Droids, Attack +3
    Solari: Damage +1-8, Damage +2-12 vs. Dark Side, Attack +4
    Sapith: Damage +4, Attack +3
    Upari: Damage +1-6, Attack +2, Blaster Deflection +8
  • 5 of 5: As you can see these greatly enhance some crystals, and make some otherwise uninteresting or useless ones into fairly powerful enhancements. It's up to you to figure out some good combinations to use with these.
