Should you keep the pearl in Star Wars Outlaws?

I was wondering if you should keep the pearl in Star Wars Outlaws.

Choosing who to give the pearl to in Star Wars Outlaws is a choice you’ll face after completing the main Safecracker quest on Kijimi and the subsequent ‘Broker’ questline for Danka.

Essentially, Danka will ask Kay to help her fulfill a contract for the Ashiga Clan. Danka has brokered the sale of a ‘Bivalve,’ a clam filled with precious pearls. This quest will involve multiple clans clamoring for a piece of the sale, and Kay must decide who to give one of the clam pearls to in the process (or choose to keep it for herself and sell it for a tidy profit).

If you’re wondering if you should keep the pearl or which clan to give it to for the best outcomes, we have all Broker quest choices below and a step-by-step guide to the quest itself.

All-Star Wars Outlaws Pearl outcomes

After completing the Broker’s quest and delivering the Bivalve to Danka, she will contact you and ask to meet you at Makal’s in Mirogana. Once you speak with her, she will give you the following options regarding the pearl:

• Give the pearl to Crimson Dawn: Gain an average reputation with the Ashiga Clan (two green arrows, about a fifth of a bar) and a significant reputation with Crimson Dawn (three green arrows).
• Give the pearl to the Ashiga Clan: Gain a significant reputation with the Ashiga Clan (three green arrows, equivalent to half a bar).
• Keep the pearl: Gain an average reputation with the Ashiga Clan (two green arrows) and have the option to sell the pearl for 2,000 Credits. The pearl is marked as ‘safe to sell’ with no other purpose.

Best pearl choice

The best choice here is to give the pearl to Crimson Dawn, as you’ll earn a good reputation with both clans. However, at the time of this choice, I had already maxed out my reputation with Crimson Dawn, so giving itt to the Ashigaand givingmore profound gettithan ng them. I don’t recommend keeping the profitable pearl, as Star Wars Outlaws has many other ways to make credits fast, and the reputation meter is much more essential in the game.

Below, we have a full walkthrough of the entire Broker quest, along with other outcomes, such as bribing or refusing to bribe the Imperial Officer, if you haven’t reached the pearl decision above.

The Broker Quest walkthrough

To initiate the ‘Broker’ quest, complete the main ‘Safecracker’ quest on Kijimi. Afterwards, either set a course for Toshara via the Trailblazer or go into your journal, hover over the Broker quest and select ‘Show on Map’. Then, you can travel directly to one of the fast travel points on Toshara and avoid the ship travel sequence and additional cutscenes.

Once you’re on Toshara, follow these steps to complete ‘The Broker’ quest:

1. 1. Travel to the map marker within the ‘Mirage’ region of Toshara.
   2. At the map marker, climb up the ledge to the north and interact with the indicated rock.
   3. Watch the cutscene play out as Kay and ND-5 wait for the other syndicates to appear at the meeting spot.
   4. Defeat all the enemies in the clearing.
   5. Search the Speeders to the north for a datapad.
   6. Speak with ND-5.
   7. It transpires that the Pykes weren’t double-crossing the Ashiga; they were toying with Crimson Dawn to make more Credits. The Bivalve is likely located at a nearby Pyke workshop.
   8. Travel to the Pyke workshop is coordinated northeast of your current location within the Mirage region.
   9. Depending on your reputation with the Pykes, you can either freely enter or you’ll have to sneak most of the way inside the territory.
   10. Once you’re at the workshop, walk up the stairs behind the armorer merchant.
   11. Command Nix to hold the lever here and continue through the doors. This will lead you into the restricted section of the workshop.
   12. The clam or ‘Bivalve’ is located in the foreman’s office. This is located behind the red door to the left of where you just entered. You can command Nix to steal the clam via the window to the office. You can also command Nix to push the console button to the left of the clam if you want to explore the office yourself. You’ll also find some lootable items, such as a chest and a rack of sniper rifles.
   13. Now you have the clam, you’ll need to exit the Pyke workshop. Unfortunately, the way you came in is inaccessible, so you’ll have to exit via the large opening to the southeast.
   15. Either sneak or fight your way to the exit. If you want to speedrun this process, I found particular luck with shooting the red canister above the center of the workshop. In the confusion, you can run through the base pretty quickly. Just take the stairs to the left of the office and then shoot two enemies to the left before making your way to the platform outside and shooting the third guard looking out over the horizon.
   16. Once you reach the platform leading to the exit, a grapple point will be indicated by a white and yellow card. Use this to exit the base. Don’t swing and leap from it; it’ll be an instant death. Instead, drop down using the drop promptly, and you’ll be okay if you heal afterward.
   17. Exit the territory and head to Jaunta’s Hope to the southwest of your current location.
   18. Now, go inside the Daruda Diner and speak with ND-5 at the bar to initiate a cutscene.
   19. Kay will give the clam to Danka and then be pressured to bribe the Imperial Officer beside her. You’ll have the option to either Bribe’ or ‘Refuse to bribe.’
   20. After picking your choice, the quest will be completed before Kay swipes one of the clam’s pearls. Danka will be in touch again, and you’ll need to meet her at Makal’s in Mirogana City.

Should you bribe the Imperial Officer?

If you’re wondering if you should bribe the Imperial Officer or not before continuing The Broker quest, we have all outcomes below:

• Bribe: Gain 1,000 Credits plus the pearl. Kay will be free to leave the diner.
• Refuse to bribe: Gain 1,500 Credits plus the pearl. Kay will be put on the ‘Wanted’ list as soon as she exits the diner, meaning you’ll need to escape an imperial pursuit and possibly clear your name off the Wanted List later. You can do so by interacting with Imperial terminals in space or bribing corrupt officers. If the Stormtroopers catch you, you’ll be arrested and charged 2,000 Credits. However, you can get these back by hacking into Imperial Terminals and stealing the Arrest Credits.

The best option here is just to bribe the officer. You’ll only lose 500 Credits, which isn’t that much in the Star Wars Outlaws story. It will save you some trouble, although it may hurt Kay’s pride.

Whichever option you choose, the quest will end the same, with Kay stealing a pearl and Danka requesting she visit her outside Makal’s. From there, Danka will reveal that she knows Kay took the pearl but will allow it.

In return, Kay will choose whether to keep the pearl or give it to Crimson Dawn or the Ashiga Clan. For all outcomes of this choice, see the above pearl choice section.
