Walkthrough#

1. Speak with Dron Anden in Dantooine, Czerka Office and ask about missing persons#

Speak with Dron Anden in Dantooine, Czerka Office and ask about missing persons.

Expected journal update — index 5: The townsfolk of Ballast are talking about a growing number in missing persons. The Czerka Corporation would like to hire me as a mercenary to assist in the investigation. I should talk to Lateng Courte if I wish to persue the investigation.

2. Speak with Lateng Courte in Dantooine, Czerka Office and ask about missing persons#

Speak with Lateng Courte in Dantooine, Czerka Office and ask about missing persons.

Expected journal update — index 10: I have spoken to the Jedi Consular, Lateng Courte who says the they have no clues as every investigator that’s been sent out, including Jedi Knights, haven’t returned. If I would like to continue the investigation I should begin with the Dantari, the Zanotti Estate, the Jitaii Estate, and the Lucienelle Estate.

3. Reach journal stage 15#

Route needs playtest verification. No literal journal setter was found for this stage in the parsed dialogue/MWScript evidence. Follow the surrounding quest context and verify whether this entry is reachable, indirect, optional, or historical.

Expected journal update — index 15: I investigated the Dantari and both the Jitaii and Zanotti Estates, the only lead left is the Lucienelle Estate, with further evidence supporting this. I should speak to Lateng Courte in the Dantooine Czerka Office about this.

4. Speak with Lateng Courte in Dantooine, Czerka Office and ask about missing persons#

Speak with Lateng Courte in Dantooine, Czerka Office and ask about missing persons.

Expected journal update — index 20: Lateng Courte was extremely disturbed by my findings, and says that what I described sounds like a Feral Anzati, and its state points to there being another, more powerful Anzat in the area. She wants me to wear a Czerka uniform and go undercover into the Lucienelle Estate to further investigate this matter.

5. Defeat Martin Lucienelle in Dantooine, Lucienelle Estate and allow its script to update the quest#

Defeat Martin Lucienelle in Dantooine, Lucienelle Estate and allow its script to update the quest.

Expected journal update — index 25: Martin Lucienelle was an Anzat, and a powerful one at that. After killing Martin and most if not all of his droid staff I am lucky to be alive. But, I would say I have more than enough evidence to prove that he was the cause of the disappearances.

6. Use Born a jedi — Finished#

The records expose more than one way to reach this journal update:

  • Use Born a jedi.
  • Speak with Lateng Courte in Dantooine, Czerka Office and ask about missing persons.

Expected journal update — index 30: I have spoken to the Jedi Consular, Lateng Courte about Martin Lucienelle and have been paid in 3,000 credits for my troubles. The town of Ballast is very grateful for my contributions. She also says that I should meet her at the Jedi Enclave here on Dantooine. I can find it through a cave in the Hunting Grounds.

Known item transfer: 3000 × Credits (Gold_001), 1 × Guardian’s Green Lightsaber (SW_LightSabGrdGreenB).

Outcome: this journal entry is marked as a finished branch.

If you’re interested in picking up the investigation on the missing persons, the Jedi have sent one of their Jedi Counselors to look into things.

Stage 15

I investigated the Dantari and both the Jitaii and Zanotti Estates, the only lead left is the Lucienelle Estate, with further evidence supporting this. I should speak to Lateng Courte in the Dantooine Czerka Office about this.

Direct setter: No literal Journal <quest> <index> command was found in the current plugin for this stage. Treat this as a QA flag: it may be a developer note, branch reached indirectly, or state written by code outside the parsed MWScript/result-script patterns.

Stage 20

Lateng Courte was extremely disturbed by my findings, and says that what I described sounds like a Feral Anzati, and its state points to there being another, more powerful Anzat in the area. She wants me to wear a Czerka uniform and go undercover into the Lucienelle Estate to further investigate this matter.

The creature you described sounds like a feral Anzati, which means in the state that it was in there is an older, more powerful Anzat in the area. It’s time we investigate Martin Lucienelle in his estate. The only way we’re going to get you in is if you go undercover as a Czerka employee, we will call ahead and make the appointment.”.

QA console reference

Current journal state can be inspected with the OpenMW/Morrowind journal tooling for SW_DantJourn. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
