Thomas and BD nearly made it to the next tomb when they were ambushed by Nightbrothers. While the two were safe, they were forced to wonder through the dangerous Dathomirian swamps. They were once again found by the Nightsister Merrin who began raising undead Nightsisters to attack them as they traveled. Inside a dark cave, BD found climbing Claws on a Nightbrother corpse-just as the dreaded Gorgara came home to roost. During the fight, Gorgara snatched them into an aerial battle, culminating in a crash that killed the bat-like beast.
Thomas and BD found their way to the ruins, where Thomas faced a dark version of his mother. This phantom shattered Thomas' Lightsaber, leaving him defenseless. Thomas and BD fled the ruin, running into the Wanderer. He revealed himself as Taron Malicos, a former Jedi master and Thomas' mothers first Boyfriend now studying the Dark Side. Malicos asked Thomas to join his quest for power, but was cut off by Merrin. She raised a horde of undead to destroy him and Thomas. Thomas and BD rushed back to the Mantis. After Thomas' confession about Order 66, Cere says it's time for him to build his own lightsaber.
Cere gifted Thomas her Lightsaber hilt, though her kyber crystal had been sold long ago to pay for Greez's debts.Inside the caves, Thomas followed the call of his crystal through a crack in the wall. The ice beneath Thomas and BD shattered, sending Thomas plummeting into icy water. BD saved Thomas just in time, but the crystal split in two. That triggered a log from Cordova, revealing BD sacrificed his memories to store logs vital to Thomas' quest. Thomas combined Cere's and his mothers hilts, creating a lightsaber with single, double, and dual-wield capabilities.
On their way out of the caves, Thomas discovered a massive Imperial mining operation on Ilum-designed to extract the planet's kyber crystals. As Thomas and BD fought their way back to the Mantis, Cere used Trilla's trick from Miktrull's tomb to prevent the Empire from calling reinforcements. The Empire eventually reversed the slice, but it gave Thomas and BD enough time to get back to the Mantis. Now, with his lightsaber reforged, Thomas must return to Dathomir and face the dark side once again.
Thomas returned to face the shade of his mother. He realized the only way to defeat her was to embrace his past and move forward. He knelt before his mothers spectre, causing the apparition to vanish. As Thomas and BD moved into the Tomb of Kujet, they came upon Merrin. This time, however, she was willing to talk. Thomas learned that she might be the only survivor of the Nightsister massacre carried out by General Grievious during the Clone Wars. Merrin learned about the Jedi purge and Thomas disavowed Malicos as a fallen Jedi.
Merrin allowed Thomas to pass, warning that Malicos was ahead. Malicos tried one last time to turn Thomas, but attacked when he refused. It appeared Malicos would win but Merrin intervened, blasting Malicos with Magick. They worked together to defeat Malicos. After, Thomas revealed that he came to Dathomir for an Astrium. Merrin agreed to help him, and they found Kujet's Tomb. Desiring more knowledge of the galaxy and a future for her people, Merrin joined Thomas' quest. Together, the crew stands ready to return to Bogano and find the holocron.
