Knights of the Fallen Empire: Chapter 4 "The Gravestone"

Ancient Starship Repairs for Dummies

The shuttle crashes on Zakuul in the area called Eternal Swamp (though a local guy says it's just a name and the swamp is not Eternal). Skytroopers are still chasing you. You have no choice but to explore this swamp searching for anything which helps you to leave the planet.

In addition you can't stop thinking about the missing five years of your life. It's time to speak to your new allies and to reveal things abouth the past, both yours and theirs.

The Eternal Swamp finally reveals its greatest secret to you. Aside from dirty water and hungering wildlife in keeps in its graps an ancient starship - the legendary Gravestone. Koth calls it a destiny. Lana thinks it may be a set up. How do you feel about this piece of old junk? Can it be repaired? Will it ever fly again?

Call it a destiny, but you together with your companions manage to find everything needed to repair the Gravestone. Can you hear the strange whispers? Where do they come from?

By the way, have you noticed...

 How the locals of Zakuul love the word 'Eternal'? They have a lot of eternal things in their culture: the swamp, the fleet, the throne. I wonder why their beloved Emperor was Immortal (not Eternal).

Choices matter
In Chapter 4 "The Gravestone" there are several moments with DS/LS choice:

 - HK-55 finds a bunch of exiles while exploring the swamp. You're given a choice to take them under your protection (LS, approved by Koth Vortena) or to leave them as they are (DS, disapproved by Koth and the one he'll remember). Actually, if you're picking DS choice, you can go even further and order HK-55 to kill them (HK-55 disapproves this).

More choices matter

There are some choices which may matter in future which you make in this chapter:

 - you can alter HK-55's programming so that your commands will be highest priority even if consequences may harm Lana and/or Koth

 - you can be honest with Lana and tell her about your bound with Valkorion or to keep this in secret. For now. She'll find out eventually.

 - when Koth once again starts speaking about you finding the Gravwestone being a destiny, you can aggree with him, claim that Lana's right or to say like 'I don't care'. The last one will be rememebered by Koth way too well.

Companions: old and new

You get Koth Vortena and HK-55 as your permanent companions in this chapter. Koth's favourite gifts are Weapon and Delicacies and HK-55's - Military Gear.

If you're going fully DS, do not invest into your influence with Koth - he'll get angry at you and leave you at some moment. Also your DS choices with lock you from full romance with him. Will he ever be back? As for now it's unknown

If you don't have HK-55 as a subscriber's reward companion do not invest in him as well. He will be killed in Chapter 8.

You can start flirting with Koth Vortena in this chapter.
