There's a trick where if you get close enough to Bendak, he'll switch to melee but if by the time his sword is out, you are out of range, he'll switch back to his blaster, at which time you can get close and force him to melee. Repeat this while shooting him with blasters in between each move and pausing frequently, and you can take him out at level one if you do it right.

the hardest part of staying level 2 all the way through Taris is completing all of the duels, especially the one against Bendak Starkiller, but it's doable as long as you horde your energy shields and grenades and aren't opposed to tons and tons of save scumming.

plasma grenades, keep speedbuff up, keep running and shoot when you have enough range

unless you want to tear your hair out early on, you'd better pick up some grenades

shields, grenades, and lots of healing items and you can easily complete everything on Taris and stay Level 2.

@darkdayzz yes it is, I did it and it's not even that hard (not tryna flex r anything) just have carth and bastila and zaalbar carry you through the earlygame and throw bombs at brejik

It's doable, but might require a bit of save/reloading to get through the harder parts.

It is doable, when I used to play on Xbox, I wouldn't even level up until I got to Dantooine to have more force power at my disposal. It isn't easy, but possible.

wait wait wait...
How'd you maintain 2 scout throughout Taris?
Is it even doable?
