Eventually out of all of this, Bao Dur tells you that you have an effect on him and that he didn't notice it before. Oddly enough, you can gain influence with Atton by going in and killing the innocent, or by helping them altruistically. I did a combination of light side and dark side things with only Atton in my party. On Nar Shadaa, I made sure to do light side things, plenty of them, around Bao Dur, with him exclusively in my party, to gain enough influence. I went about this by gaining maximum dark side points all the way up to my first planet, then choosing Nar Shadaa. If you are Jedi, they will be trained Sith. However, if you train Jedi with low influence, they will be trained as Jedi opposite of your alignment.

Yes that's true, losing maximum influence will also open those dialogues, as well as most other options. Is it true that a maximum loss of influence also allows the training dialogue to open? On my second play through (Dark this time), I'm having a devil of a time maintaining my alignment, and gaining any influence enough to train the handmaiden. Can anyone help me or am I too late in the game? I did get a scene saying he was glad to be with me after the visa scene but I haven't gotten any influence since then. Might be one or two more events I'm forgetting.

helped the Republic spy by giving him a starport visa killed someone with Kriea in the party, Bua-dur actually approved complemented him at one point/asked if he was okay I've completed all the planets and I'm heading back to Dxun to help the general overthrow the queen (DS all the way!) Are there anymore oppertunities to gain Bao-dur to make him a DS jedi? I know raiding the Sith's tomb on Dxun can give your character DS points, would giving Bao-dur Ds points help turn him or is only influence a factor? This is all the influence I have on him so far.

Unfortunately I blew it off for to long and returned to find it destroyed.

I heard the best way to get Bao-dur to go Jedi was to have him help repair the landspeeder thing on Nar Shaddar.
