Planet by Planet Positive Influence Guide
By Snotra
This will be a short and to the point user-friendly guide showcasing positive influence opportunities with the goal of maxing influence for the entire party.

It is recommended that you prioritize reputation with Bao-Dur, T3-M4, and G0-T0, because, in general, it is harder to get influence with them rather than anyone else.

I will be heavily referencing a Gamespot guide to create this guide, but in a (hopefully) more user-friendly format, as well as additional entries.

I wanted to create a guide that didn’t require lots of flipping back and forth. Ideally, you should only ever have to scroll through this guide in one direction (unless you follow a different planet order).

This guide will be improved and revised as I play through the game again. If you know of any influence options that I missed, please let me know and I will credit your user name. I will continuously add to this guide as I find additional influence options.

Harbinger

The first opportunity for influence can be found when first entering the Harbinger. There will be a tutorial about influence, then say something nice to Atton or Kreia to gain influence with either. I recommend Siding with Atton here.

- "Atton's Plan was a good one - Let's head to the bridge and get the drift charts." - Atton Influence
-"Forgive me, Kreia, I was distracted for a moment. I'll be more mindful of the Present" -Kreia Influence
"Watch that tone, old woman - I will not be lectured by you." - Negative Kreia Influence


Harbinger Lower Floor

Atton will introduce his meta-mechanic of warning you when you should save your game. Say, "We'll have to be careful, then. But we have to keep moving"

Fuel Depot

When you find T3-M4 in the fuel line, compliment him to gain some influence
Telos
Exchange base (Dark Side)

Ensure Kreia is not in the party for this part, as she disproves of needless violence.

Threaten and kill the doorman for Atton influence. You can leave the area, come back, and repeat this two times for additional dark side alignment, but not additional Atton influence.

Inside, threaten/Kill the receptionist and gain Atton Influence. (Dark Side)

You can add Kreia to the party once again after these options have been selected.


Hidden Jedi Base - Telos Polar Region

Handmaidens
Before freeing your party from their force cages, talk to one of the Handmaidens about Atton's Echani training.

Atton
Talk to Atton about what you discussed with the handmaidens. Talk to him again and tell him that you think his Echani training could be an asset for Atton Influence. Avoid the Persuade option unless you want negative influence.

Bao-Dur
Tell him the crash wasn't his fault

T3-M4 (Needs to be verified)
(Light Side) Compliment/Reassure him after you free him.


Ebon Hawk
You can gain a great deal of influence after telos while on the ship, but I need to replay the game to record everything. For now, this is a placeholder.
Nar Shadaa
I like to do Nar Shadaa next as you unlock three companions on this planet and I don't have to worry about missing influence opportunities with NPCs on other planets.

Mira or Hanharr
You may want to ensure that you are either Light Side if you want Mira, or Dark Side if you want Hanharr. Upon reaching the docks, the game decides which companion you get. After the cutscene plays that introduces them, you are locked in, and you can then gain the opposite alignment if that is your preference.


Main Area

Man Getting bullied near the landing pad
(Light Side) Start with Visas and Bao-Dur in your party. Help the man getting bullied.

Charity or Cruelty scene
Pick your preferred alignment option. When she gives you her lesson, tell her you will think about it.

Droid merchant
(Light side) Have T3-M4 in your party, Sympathize with the droid and free him.
(High Intelligence) Dismiss T3 and with Visas in your party, and after you returned the droid, extort plans from TT-32. Visas likes your manipulation.

Man by the pit getting bullied by thugs
(Light Side) Have Bao-Dur and either Atton or Handmaiden in your party. Help the man and demand nothing in return.
(Dark Side) Have Atton in your party. Force persuade them to jump in the pit for Atton Influence


Refugee Sector

Sick Man
(Dark Side - Needs to be verified) - Have Kreia in your party, talk to him, and then tell the leader of the exchange in the area that this man needs to die to prevent the disease from spreading
(Dark Side) - Have Kreia and Visas in your party. Convince him to kill himself.
(Light Side) - Have Bao-Dur and Handmaiden or Atton in your party. Avoid having Kreia in your party. heal him with your treat injury skill.

Hussef
(Dark Side)(Needs to be verified) - Have Kreia in your party. Convince Hussef to submit to the exchange through actions in the refugee sector that discourage the refuges.

Speeder
Bao-Dur, Atton, T3-M4. Save your game before interacting with the speeder because I don't remember 100%. If I remember correctly, you can gain influence with all three of them by getting them to check your work after various steps. Otherwise, I recommend prioritising Bao-dur here if you don't already have enough influence for him to become a jedi.

Atton Backstory
Take Atton with you to talk to the Twi'Lek that knows Atton. This is required to make him a Jedi.


Docks
(You may wish to finish all other business before coming here)

Flophouse, Lootra
(Dark Side) With Kreia in the party and no one else, Lie to Lootra that his wife is dead.
(Light Side) Kreia and Atton, Bao-Dur, Disciple, or Handmaiden. Talk to lootra, go to the refugee sector and rescue his wife. Return to Lootra. Kreia scolds you (softly) but doesn't reduce her influence. Tell her that if it meant your life, there is nothing I would not do for you or any of my allies. The other party member likes this.

Mandalorians
You can come back to this planet later, once you have Mandalore in your party, to send them back to Dxun

Thank you for your work. You miss some of my favorite influences (with Kreia in your party agree to Azkul's deal by lying and Kreia will like that) but don't let that discourage you.

I like the quickness of the guide. I don't need pictures of the game I am playing right now I need quick info.

entire community of this game is kind of depressing wwith influence guides
to put it blunt all of you guys are terrible

this is nothing
Hanhar and HK are companions and are dismissed
double-dip hussef kill/heal is not mentioned

and cherry on top:
"The Ravager
With Mandalore in the party, kill Tobin"
Mandalore is mandatory companion at the Ravanger, meaning he will be in the party, you want it or not
having mandalore is not requirements player can fail to meet thus no need inclusion
(i might be nitpicking this one, english is hard)
