In Star Wars, the only help or support from the main character is from the companion. The furry little creature with adorable eyes will always keep us company in our stealth or not-so-stealth adventures. Star Wars Outlaws gives us Nix as our companion to open out-of-reach doors and distract the guards with its cuteness. When you get to Tatooine, you know things will take a turn for the worse. In the second mission Partners, you must infiltrate Jabba’s Palace to rescue Nix. This guide will tell you exactly how to rescue Nix from the Menagerie.
Guide To Rescue Nix From The Menagerie
- When you meet Hoss in the Mos Eisley Cantina, suffice it to say it will not go well as Nix will get taken to the Jabba’s Palace. The objective here will lead us north of Mos Eisley Outskirts or east of Desert Valley. Once you find a way into the palace, the objective will then turn to Search for Nix.
- We will then learn halfway through the mission we will learn about the plan to torture Nix, here Kay has to steal a key from the guard. After stealing the key, the objective will then switch to “Rescue Nix from the menagerie”
- Now with the key, we can open the red door we saw earlier during the cutscene about Nix’s kidnapping. Head straight, when you reach the end, look to your left and see a small vent at the bottom of the wall, that’s our way in.
- Make way your way into the vent and eventually, you will drop into the Freezer Room. Get out of the room through the red door at the front, then turn right. The room will be filled with cages, giving you the sign of Nix.
- Go to the end of the room, on your left you will see a machine with levers on it, pulling one of them down will open up the door to the right. The route will lead to an area with guards patrolling. You have two choices here, either go with stealth or gun blazing.
Pro-Tip: They are not going to go down easily, they have a heavy set of armor, and even if you do shoot them with your blaster, they will go down after taking multiple rounds. It’s better to switch to the Ion Module in your Blaster to stun them after every fire, this will keep you safe from their attacks.
- There is a red door at the end of the corridor, but you will need Menagerie Keycard to unlock it. Go through the small door to the left of the locked door. You will find the Menagerie Keycard on the table. Grab it, now we can open the red door in the corridor.
- Once you open the door, you will be in a room filled with animals trapped in cages, make it to the end of the room, and you will find Nix trapped in the cages to the left. Nix’s cage will be different than the rest, as it is the only one with some lights on it.
First Combat Encounter:
Get Ready! The second you get close to Nix’s cage in the room, two heavily armored guards will show up from the front door. Ready your Blaster with Ion module try to take them out by focusing on one of them, always maintain your distance, and don’t get too close.
Second Combat Encounter:
After you have defeated the two heavy guards, next will be two dogs and the Beastmaster. Take the dogs out with normal Blaster rounds, and use the power module on the Beastmaster to end the match quickly.
Once the battle is over you can interact with the cage to rescue Nix. Now you just have to leave the building with Nix on your back.
