The Shadowed Lands Survival Guide

The Shadowed Lands (SL) are the lowest part of Kashyyyk’s Rryatt Trail. The area has very dense tree cover, making it easy to get disoriented.

This guide will cover: 1) Tips for Success 2) TheBeasts and NPC’s of the Shadowed 3)Getting Around the Shadowed Lands


Part 1 Tips for Success

1) The SL are the last area on the Rryatt Trail. Once you have traveled through the entire length of the trail, you can “teleport” to any of the trail heads by talking to Achonnko the Trail Master, located at Level 1 of the Ryatt Trail (WP -724 –532).

2) The creatures in the SL are very aggressive. If you get close to them, you will have to fight or run. They will even agro level 90 toons on occasion. You can avoid some of the agro by sticking to the very edge of the trail when you are near the creatures. This can become very dangerous in the Gotal, droid, and Mystinger areas because you can easily have 5 or more creatures attacking you at once.

3) Most creatures will only use one type of attack. However, the Gotal will often switch to melee attacks if they get within 5 feet of you.

4) It is useful to have a macro set up to switch armor types back and forth from kinetic to energy (and vice versa) so that you have the best protection available for which ever creatures you are fighting.

5) Most creatures have a 5-10 minute respawn rate, except the Katarn which is on a 15 minute timer.

6) The Droid area is the best place to farm loot. However, clearing the initial set of druids can be very difficult to solo. The second best place is the Katarn area especially if you are solo, because you can attack the nestlings/Katarn one by one.

Gotals were tall, hairy humanoids who evolved on the moon Antar 4. They had gray-brown faces with reddish eyes, small, flat noses, and shaggy gray fur covering most of their bodies. Their most distinctive features were the twin conical horns growing on the top of their heads, which acted as highly responsive electromagnetic sensors. The unique nature of these sensors shaped Gotal culture, and gave them a place in the Galaxy. Their electromagnetic senses often led them to employment as trackers, soldiers, and bounty hunters. Gotal hunters and soldiers were difficult to ambush or trap, and easily saw through most attempts at camouflage or disguise. They prided themselves on tracking difficult targets, referring to the Gotal proverb "What is easily achieved is easily lost." Some Gotal hunters had developed their empathic skills well enough to accurately and quickly anticipate their enemies' moves—these were referred to as "precogs". These were the champions of Gotal hunting culture, and were fierce foes if provoked.

Several models of aggressive droids are located in the The Shadowed Lands of Kashyyyks Rryatt Trail left behind from the Second Battle of Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars.

A massive simian creature, the minstyngar haunts the levels of the Rryatt Trail. The minstyngar have a rudimentary social structure and hunt in packs.

http://www.atombender.de/swgwiki/index.php/Katarn
A katarn was a predatory quadruped native to the planet Kashyyyk. They had slender bodies with rodent-like tails, and narrow faces leading back to a cartilaginous ridge protecting their neck and shoulders. Their paws had opposable digits, and their lower limbs are covered with sharps spurs, both of which allowed them to climb and hang from the branches of the giant wroshyr trees.

Katarns were creatures of great importance in the Wookiee's culture. The Wookiees, who called the Katarn the "Old Prince", hunted them in hrrtayyk ceremony. Wookiees said the katarns were born by a wound to Kashyyyk that fell from the sky ages ago (possibly a Rakatan satellite) and made a home for the Katarn. The katarns then hunted the Wookiees, thus unlocking the Wookiees inner "fire". To thank the katarn, the Wookiees hunted them. They believed that someday it would be the Katarn's turn to hunt the Wookiees again.

Katarns were ferocious and merciless predators which would track their prey for long periods before choosing an opportune moment to strike. They have been described as "silent, shadowy, and deadly," qualities which made them the mascot of Judder Page's Katarn Commandos.
Some katarns were domesticated as the war-mounts of Wookiee dragon troopers.


Part 3 Getting around the Shadowed Lands

The first thing you should do upon arriving in the SL is to adjust your graphics settings so you can see better. The second thing is set up a waypoint for the guide, so you can find your way back. Also, you should set up the waypoints for the Gotal Camp, Katarn, Droid and Mystinger areas. Those will assist you in navigating the SL.

The map below (it’s a portion of the overhead map) lays out the trail system in the SL. The Legend below explains the various letters and designations.
