- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Dueling Arena houses the deadly, Bendak Starkiller.
Bendak Starkiller, also known as Bendak Starkiller, was a famous male human Mandalorian Death Match Duelist that lived on Taris. He had a three hundred credit bounty on his head, put up by the government, for all the people he had killed.
Bendak Starkiller could be found in the Upper City Cantina, but would only accept a challenge from the best duelists on Taris.

I FORGOT TO MAKE MENTION OF IT... but yes. So glad it was one of the first comments. Its ridiculously blatant imitation xD
It might actually be Phil Lamarr, since he does alot of voicework. Either way, it's a po-man's mo-gan🙃
"Get busy livin' or get busy dyin' to Dead-eye Duncan. He was a tall drink o' water..."
@@johnnywarysex_aka_joosecannon It was actually Tom Kane, who also voiced Vandar Tokare, Uthar Wynn, Ajunta Pall, and several other characters and addityional voices in the game. Very spot on impression though
Agreed lol. He could almost be compared to Patrick Stewart too at times for sure!
“They call him Deadeye cause he fights like he’s blind.”
😂 that’s some funny shit
*Gerlon 2 Fingers...*
....G.... Girl on 2 What!?!
Whelp. You just ruined it forever.
300 credits for all bounties? I forgot about that. No wonder no one wanted to risk going after him! That’s not nearly enough!
30k & we can talk. This is life or death
400 at Best if You have good persuation, but that is still to low, if we where not in need of cash that Bounty would go uncolected
@@DarkLOREDash 100k and ill not go darth revan on you.
It's not about the credits, it's a matter of honor
Imagine being so bad at playing KOTOR that you lose Deadeye Duncan.
It takes skill, persistence and training
yeah imagine -cough- hahah
Hey he’s the fifth ranked duelist and he loves fresh meat!
Kotor is one of the easiest games in existence. Its complex but not difficult
@@ahabduennschitz7670 Yeaaah, right... Aren't you a god when it comes to video games, eh!? Stop being so arrogant.
I would've wanted to get Bendak's armor instead of his blaster (or additionally to that), but looting in the arena is not possible.
Would probably be too OP considering how early in the game this is.
You can get a mandalorian armor with helmet and all though towards the end of the game
@@JulianWasHereNOT the same
The dueling ring is one of my favorite things in this game, plus the glitch to get two of bendak's blasters is super OP for the early game.
Aliens aren’t allowed in the upper city… Except for the Hutt and Twitch. They seem nice. 🤣
That ring announcer *loves* his job. He must be just the right side of drunk constantly. What a legend.
Wasn't he also the same announcer for the arena in oblivion?
Man this Motha fucka be in 2 different time periods and galaxies what the fuck did he drink??
@@heavylokhust8158 Skooma. All of it.
@@billstutts6219no
Fun fact: Kebla Yurt actually has a comment before and after doing the Death Match against Bendak. She recognizes you before the duel and encourages you to buy something for the duel, and afterward, she'll say, "I had a front row seat for your duel." and, "If times weren't tough, I'd give you a discount, but with the Sith Occupation, I can barely afford to keep the doors open."
I just activated that dialogue today lol
i kinda like that zax dude, instead of being pissed when you demand more, he just laughs and gives it to you. and a compliment on top.
That was a en epic vid! you're putting hours in this an it shows: didnt even notice the 40 minutes, went all smooth till the end. kotor voice-acting + dash voice acting = win.
Thanks mate :D
Clueless me heading straight to the cantina and having Duncan be the first fight I face in the game after the Endar Spire.
I literally had a blaster pistol and was wearing default clothes so ended up dying to Duncan by ummm... accident
Trask told you on the Endar Spire that using a blaster in a sword fight is a really, REALLY bad idea. “There’s not much room on the bridge, and it’s suicide to use a blaster in close quarters.”
The sword wielder gets a massive +10 to his D20 attack roll on his blaster wielding opponent, because it’s extremely difficult to parry a sword with a blaster. Even Duncan can slice you up with a bonus that big!
Such a noob move
@@ahabduennschitz7670 indeed
Guys guys, clearly Duncan is actually a Dark Lord of the Sith and he’s shown his true colors
Wow you lost to the the guy who dropped his blaster, and has aim worse than stormtroopers. I always faced him wear default clothes, he shot 3 times as I ran to him and missed all 3 shots.
back in the day i envied Marl that double bladed vibroblade so much, i wanted it so bad but the closest i could get to doublew-weapon on taris was the quarterstaff i bought from Larrim in south apartments :)
Not sure if it matters now, but the echani ritual brand sold at the Equipment vendor is a double bladed sword, and used by the masters of hand-to-hand so it must be high quality, there is also a sandard double bladed sword there. Lastly, if you do the evil route of killing Gordan in the hidden bek base, his bodyguard will drop a double bladed vibroblade like Marl has.
@@Furiora ik, it was more complicated - i wanted marls vibroblade and i did buy echani ritual brand, but i wanted the exact copy - i eventually got it from Kaeira(Gadon's bodyguard), but soon after you get bastila and her saberstaff u cant use just yet - and the quarterstaff is both cheap and activates like lightsaber would :)
edit: also i was only 13+ att so i was more about aesthetics than stats.
The game was such a treat back in the day. I remember how exciting it was to play this for hours and hours.
Bro, the sewers were a maze for me and instead of figuring out what to do with rhe rancor, I just glitched his pathing/fit through the tunnel and cheesed him with grenades. This was my go-to mechanic until I figured out how to fully understand what they wanted from me on some playthrough. 😅
Honestly Ice seems to just be a well adjusted person doing a job and not wanting to be friends with every stranger off the street.
its funny how this voice acting is still better then 99% of all games made in the next 20 years
"100 years from now, people will still be talking about you"
Well he's right, just not for the reason he fhinks lol
This video could have been a 2-parter. Your lore video are mesmerazing. I love the Mysterious Stranger presentation pose hehe
Thanks mate & yes the mysterious stranger has done it again 😂
I love this game. Exploited several glitches on the original Xbox version, good times. So, when I first beat Starkiller, I raided all bases and the undercity and stores. (hidden bek and black vulkar) After many losses, I finally had a plethora of mines, plasma grenades, etc. It was an easy win at that point.
You get darkside points, even though Bendek is an evil evil man. "I'm not even a Jedi, just a Force Sensitive Scoundrel!!!" I become a Jedi later. Got the restored content mod, so I've seen Deadeye Duncan on Manaan
I'm surprised when I hear people skip content in this game. I mean, it's tedious sometimes, so If you play it a lot I get it, but generally, I'm surprised people have played the game without beating that part.
If I believe correctly, you can get the bounty first and get his pistol. Also if you go afterwards to get your payment for the illegal fighting you also get his pistol still. So in other words there is an exploit to get 2 Bendak Starkiller pistols
How can you believe wrong or right? I mean youre either believing or not, how can you believe good or bad?
You can exploit the manaan glitch to double any items your characters are carrying. This includes armor, weapons, etc. Just go to the Rift at the bottom of the ocean, save the game before exiting the airlock, exit, go right back in, and load the saved game. (I think that's how it works, if I remember correctly.) I used this to get an unlimited amount of items and equipment, which equals unlimited credits
You take the bounty, fight everyone but after the last duelist is defeated avoid talking to the Hutt and go straight to bendak. Set up the fight with him leave and come back. Kill Bendak then talk to the Hutt you will get the pistol,talk to him again and you will get it again
Ooooh thank you 😃👍
Yes, don't collect on Twitch, until you kill Bendek. Collect the Bendek pistol and money, then collect the second pistol and Twitch money.
Hi there. Cool video! One thing additional. As you showed, Marl leaves after you talk with him after beating him. Knowing this... you could opt to not talk to him afterwards and instead talk to him after you beat Bendak. It has been years but I recall he has different dialogue at that time. : )
I always loved the Bendak gun glitch. If you talk to Bendak after beating Twitch and set up the deathmatch immediately when you talk to the hut you will be rewarded for Bendak first and his blaster and then talking to the Hutt again you get your winnings from Twitch you never received and get a 2nd Bendak's blaster.
It was always a fun little glitch considering how good his blasters are
Morgan Freeman should be cast as a Jedi Master at some point.
Love
@@DarkLOREDash You have any other actors/actresses of our time that you think should be in starwars? I'd like to see Ron Pearlman as a mandalorian,
@@passerby5735 Great question... probably Tom Hardy as a Sith tbh
@@DarkLOREDash So Bane from Batman becomes... Darth Bane?
@@passerby5735 You read my mind :P
Tell deadeye about your victory, he escapes Yaris to manaan, find him there, either kill him for knowing you or let him take the title of mysterious stranger.
Lol
Love these videos! Such a nostalgia trip and really cool with the narration
Thanks a lot, mate!
I loved every bit of the Mandalorian armor in this game except for the super tiny face plate on the hoods that make them look like the "Fronds" shrunken face meme.
Okay, yeah, Deadeye can go and lose another 100 matches...
But wow, this video went by quick. Did not feel like 40 minutes at all. I daresay that is a testament to KOTOR's voice acting
Thanks mate, the "I own you" part really sold it for me 😅
@@DarkLOREDash ya that was funny
Man, I love the way the amount says "In store for YOOOOUU!"
I love the duels and prefer to do them after I have cleared the other bounties from Zax - all the experience from those missions and a lot of adrenal stims make these matches short but awesome!
I remember this all too well. This part was so much fun.
You can avoid dark side points if you talk to Bendak Starkiller about the bounty then set up the match immediately.
you still get dark side points, so you can't avoid it.
Everytime I did the no level up Taris run this was absolutely the hardest part. Had to plant mines and lure Bendak into melee and hope he wouldn't attack me
Welcome to the ARENA !!!
Hello, announcer!
Whoever did the voice work for Marl must have decided to do a Morgan Freeman impersonation. LOL
I always felt bad about Dead-Eye Duncan. He clearly needs therapy for his self esteem issues, and I kinda wanted to give him a drink and a shmooze.
He reminds me of Gill from the Simpsons😂
Imagine coming up with a website and naming it after some crazy psycho Rodian!
Perfectly describes twitch though
😂😂😂😂😂
I love how we keep envisioning things as being flatter in the future, but we never stop to think about how that might increase screen size. You can tell when most sci-fi was made based on how large that they think a comfortable screen size is.
Ayyyy this is the content I’m looking for 😏
The arena was always one of my favorite parts of KOTOR
Same as the arena in the other Bioware game Jade Empire. Same vibe
I go straight vibro blade from the very start of the game. But I always stop leveling up after level 5. That way I'm a higher-level Jedi when I finally get to dantooine and learn more force abilities. I finished all the duels before finding bastila. The first 2 guys are easy, they fall after 1 power strike. Frost and the old guy 2 power strikes. Twitch, 3 power strikes. Starkiller I is a thermal detonator gas grenade, then power strike him 3 or 4 times. No medpads used until Starkiller
I never noticed but Marl sounds like a slight knock off Morgan Freeman.
The real winner of these duels is the announcer. He is having a blast, and doesn't have to worry about any murderous attention.
I would always grenade spam so that I could wait to level up when I got to Dantooine to get more Force Points and abilities.
I know I’m late but I love these kotor vids!! My favorite game series. Will you be doing kotor 2 lore?
Even in Light Side playthrough I always kill Bendak. The gun. The winnings(convince more). The bounty(convince more). All huge that early in the game.
You should do a lvl1 run through of this. My fight with Starkiller took 3 hours of dodging, doping, shielding, and kiting him around the arena
Same, wanted to save my levels for jedi skills :D
@@marlu72 yep... after my save file got corrupted I got the start as a jedi mod to save myself the trouble
For a second I thought you were Carth's voice actor.
I Was hoping we'd get to keep Bendak's Gear I wanted that Suit and mask
Would be funny if talking to Twitch before fighting Bendak had him say: "I act crazy, but not THAT crazy. Good luck, and take care, friend."
Imagine owning Kotor and not doing this already.
Bendak was such a pain with a level 2 melee character. I had to use concussion grenades mixed in with plasma grenades and some luck.
So fun fact: if you run close to him, he’ll pull out his sword. Then all you need to do is pause the game and switch to a blaster and just keep running and shooting as he tries to chase you down with his sword. Cheap but effective while at a low level
I was like, why isn't Dash playing the game? And then I noticed this was the lore channel
I have to record EVERY scenario for this channel, its fun but pretty challenging compared to winging it
Would love to see soneone fiddle the game so you could bust out a lightsaber in these fights
I spec into melee at the beginning so that I'm ready for being a Jedi, it makes Bendak way more manageable.
Marl is the Morgan Freeman of Kotor
For the higher ranked people I would do this strategy where I would come at them with a melee hit them and run when they pulled out their melee, I've found when they pull out a blaster again you get a much higher chance to hit with a melee
This isn't really related to the death matches, but what I loved about the dueling ring is that your character mentions their name in dialogue with Ajuur, so if you named them something funny, you'd get something like this:
"My name's Doeng Bietl. I think that's a much better name than The Mysterious Stranger."
Trask Ulgo is the most powerful warrior in Kotor.
Twitch stream.. of blaster fire! I don't think he's crazy. He's pretty enthusiastic about shooting, and it interferes with his speech patterns. Instead of saying "hi friend! I'm happy to see someone new to pit my skills against. Do you like blasters as much as I do? I can't wait to face you in the ring!" you get the in game dialogue.
I noticed this is back on Xbox. GUESS WHOS GETTING BACK INTO IT!! THIS WOMAN YEET.
Also Daddy Dark Lore, you the shit. You have so many videos for so many games. I didn’t realize what I was missing out on. Hands down, favorite RUclipsr next to MickyD. Thank you for keeping my work week short with these videos ❤
Well thank you & my pleasure 😁
Btw, lore-wise, every last one of these characters is either dead or a rakghoul.
The last time I fought Bendak Starkiller and won, my Stims actually wore off while I was talking to Ajurr and I fell unconscious.
Lmao
my favorite part about the duel ring on taris, is the announcer himself. i just love how he puts an extra emphasis on a person's nickname, but it makes sense with Deadeye. he loses alot, maybe when he started they gave him a different name, but if you lose alot of matches and never get ahead, then they'd have to give Duncan a new name. so whatever he was called at first is no longer that, when you first step into the ring you hear the name Deadeye Duncan, but since we know in the world of Star Wars, every character has a story to them whether positive or negative, bad or good. but i like how they introduce him against us, this time he's after fresh meat lol. imagine if your character is female, that wouldn't go over too well lol. im just kidding, i wish Kotor 2 had more going on in the beginning. i mean i like Kotor 2, but compared to the first it starts out a little slower. but i get why it's like that, it's meant to have a more serious tone that gives the game a darker feel. with Kotor 1, you have a major threat with the sith locking a planet down, but despite all that everything just seems more lively. the way people act, you wouldn't think there was any real threat, but i think that's what makes it brilliant. plus each section of Taris is separated by upper, and lower levels of the city, not to mention the lowest level of Taris. so because you have all that, people are still doing whatever they want despite the sith being there. but if they don't care what happens in the lower city, why should they care. but that's also the perfect opportunity for your character and Carth to remain undetected, because the sith aren't gonna be looking soldiers.
Great points! You can totally tell they had a great time
Wow. It's been 20 years since the last time I heard those lines and fought on that ring.
That is why I never play with blasters, boosting meelee combat from the very start of the game. And I only go melee against the duelists, so the ranged ones lose a couple of seconds switching to melee, which may be fatal to them, and the meelee ones never catch me off-guard)
Hello, Marl
I'm your biggest fan
Don't take personal it is just a joke
Marl is my favorite duelist. He is kind and tough.
Blasters in KOTOR 1 are too weak. I play with a mod that increases their maximum damage potential by 2 points. So for example a basic blaster pistol does 1-8 damage instead of 1-6. Of course, this applies to enemies as well.
16:40 "It's not like I like you or anything! S-stupid stranger!"
You forgot a detail: Duncan shows up on Mandan if you win this fight asking to use your title
I guess he didn't include it because it was cut content, so that might be in a separate video.
Yes! I actually have covered Duncan's full return in Manaan in a separate vid 😄
I thought I knew everything about this game until this video. Losing the fights never crossed my mind, I just restarted saves when I died.
How do you make these videos? More specifically, how did you get the free camera? Great video btw!
Hey mate, there's a mod that does free cam. It's pretty hard to wrangle but helps break up the static angle of the game!
@@DarkLOREDash thank you! Could I get a link for it?
@@DarkLOREDash link him it ;-;
@@Sadeness99 better late than never ruclips.net/video/xfETP08Ndfs/видео.html
@@DarkLOREDash Can you start doing more of these Kotor videos?
"Dead eye is a joke."
"Bruh, he's standing right there."
Only tough fight is Marl! Deadeye and Gerlon are easy, for Ice and Twitch just use grenades. For Marl, you have to be level 4 to survive, with shield up, and blasters, watch your health and use a healing potion of you have to. At level 6 I can take him with swords, but I hold at 4. And even the Death Match isn't tough. Bendek's not much tougher than Twitch. By this time I have 4 plasma grenades. Stay away and run to the right, throw a plasma grenade, run to the left, throw a plasma grenade, run to starting place throw 2 plasmas and maybe a regular and Bendek's down. Easy. And use the cheat, by not collecting on Twitch, until you kill Bendek, to get 2 Bendek's blasters.
The one duelist literally sounds like Morgan Freeman and I was always disappointed in the game that you couldn’t dual after you left Terrace
My opinion, most of the duellists (except Marl) are easier to beat in melee. The difference is painfully visible for ICE and Twitch. Bendak is tough, but not as nearly in close-quarters.
This was my strategy: for twitch and bendak, use stims, then throw a grenade and charge in
Deadeye Duncan's voice reminds me of Cyrus from Trailer Park Boys for some reason. "I don't have time to explain all this, I got fuckin' work to do!"
1. Excellent observation. 2. Do you happen to watch the Act Man on youtube? Try unsee that 🤣
On PC there is a bug where you can collect two copies of
Bendak's Blaster: after Twitch, instead of Auger giving you a reward and then arranging the final match, arrange the final match with Bendak. Once you win you get his blaster...then go back to Auger and collect your winnings from Twitch...only to get a second Blaster.
ouch marl and his crit attacks still hurt me when i watch.
You don't need energy shields or luck to beat Ice. Just preparation.
I love the armor and clothes designs from Kotor. I hope they don't change them in the remake
As someone who generally uses a melee build even this early in the game, I can confidently say that if you're using a vibroblade, Twitch is actually easier than Marl. Seriously, just throw a Frag grenade and charge with a vibroblade. It works like a charm. Even hitting Marl with a grenade is inconsistent at best because he rushes you. Although using a mine definitely is one way to make the fight easier.
Losing to Duncan should be an unlock-able achievement.
Is it bad I played this game so many times as a kid I can close my eyes and do the announcers lines for every fight?
No. It makes me like you immensely
I like how the presenter says the word "YOU". Haha.
I just found your Channel and love it!!
Well thank you kindly!
The Sean Connery and Morgan Freeman voices are great
Maro sounds like morgan freeman.
Ah, Steve 'Deadeye" Buscemi, number 5 ranked duelist, number one ranked in our hearts lol
I do this every time, its worth it for the credits, its just 2 ds points
You... make money. Not great money, but it's nice for the early game.
First, spam Concussion Grenades. Next, everything else, and finish him off with some Plasma Grenades for style, and for the Big Bang at the end
I always found it pretty easy to kill Bendak Starkiller, you just pick Soldier at the start of the game and amp up your strength, then use a decent energy shield and a good melee weapon and you kill him pretty quick.
Is strength affect on lightsaber attacks?
@@VITAS874 Yes, any melee weapon.
So there was a Starkiller before Starkiller...
After luke starkiller!
@@DarkLOREDash got to wonder if the base was named after this guy though... 😅😅😅
@@goonerOZZ starkiller was luke skywalkers original name. Probs a homage to him
Another Grate video 📹
Deadeye Duncan beat Revan :D
Girl on 2 fingers? L o l
Bioware writers were men of culture
KOTOR coming to mobile! Let's goo!!
Ikr
"Hundred of years people will be on Taris, living their lives, NOT BEING OBLITERATED, talking about the Mysterious Stranger beating Bendak Starkiller."
lol
Great video
Thanks mate!
I literally just started playing kotor for the first time and even I beat it he only killed me twice but had to use a lot of concussion grenades
