All 23 Mystery Encounters: Choices and Outcomes

Click a row to open that encounter’s choices and outcomes. In the “When it appears” column, “up to” means the encounter stops appearing once you’ve moved past that planet. Dialogue is quoted exactly as it appears in the game, and the numbers in the outcomes are credits.

Character and encounter	When it appears	Recommended
Kestar Bool Demands you pay for a scratch	From the 2nd planet	“Fine. Take the credits.” (2,500)
Kestar blames you for a scratch on his speeder and demands that you pay for the damage. “Fine. Take the credits.”Pay 2,500 “I didn’t scratch your speeder. Fix it yourself.”Lose 1 ability “Why? Did your father finally cut off your allowance?”Lose 2 upgrades, and your vehicle explodes at the start of the next race Pay the 2,500 and you lose nothing else. If you’re short on credits, pick the second answer and get away with losing just one ability.
Kestar Bool Threatens to add more Eliminators	Acts II and III / up to the 3rd planet	“Great idea.” (if you’re not confident in Eliminators, pay 6,000)
Kestar threatens to turn standard races into Eliminators. This encounter comes up once in Act II and once in Act III, and it plays out the same both times. “Great idea.”Half of all standard races become Eliminators. A little later, Darius Pax (Sebulba in Act III) gives you 1 League Token “Would a few credits convince you to change your mind?”Pay 3,000. 75% chance the races stay as they are, 25% chance more Eliminators are added (you still get the token) “Take these credits and leave the races as they are.”Pay 6,000 and the races stay as they are If you can finish in the top 3 in Eliminators, you gain a League Token without paying a thing. Finishing 4th or lower in an Eliminator knocks you out and costs you a token, so if you’re not confident, pay the 6,000.
Kestar Bool Asks who’s on Pax’s side	After clearing Act II and meeting Goli, Soren and Malis / up to the 4th planet	“I’m not telling you anything.”
Kestar wants to know who has been talking up Pax around the League. Giving him a name earns you 3,000, but whoever you name will get back at you later. “Soren is plotting against you.”Receive 3,000. Later, Soren removes 1 of your parts “Goli is bad-talking you.”Receive 3,000. Later, Goli lowers your Battery by 3 “Malis is betraying you.”Receive 3,000. 90% chance Malis later makes you pay 5,000. 10% chance Malis sabotages Kestar’s vehicle in the Championship Race “I’m not telling you anything.”You get Fractured Abilities, a Faulty Part. Later, Soren gives you 4,000 and 1 League Token Keep quiet and you get 4,000 and a League Token later. While Fractured Abilities is installed, every ability you use triggers a System Malfunction, and very rarely (about 0.1%) your vehicle explodes at the start of the next race.
Hibi Wants to steal a part from Kestar	Once the Scrap Dealer starts appearing	“Okay, just don’t get caught.”
Hibi spotted a powerful-looking part left near Kestar’s vehicle and wants to steal it for you. “Okay, just don’t get caught.”80% chance you get a Legendary part. 20% chance prices at Hibi’s Shop go up by 50% “It’s not worth the risk.”Nothing happens You get an 80% chance at a Legendary part without spending any credits. Only turn it down if you plan to use Hibi’s Shop heavily on that tour.
Hibi Wants to install a prototype part	Up to the 3rd planet	“Finish the part first, then I’ll install it.” (4,000)
Hibi wants to install a prototype part she built on your vehicle. It’s a part that boosts your Ramjet power with every Takedown. “Alright, install the part.”Installs a faulty Ramming Jet I (+5% power per Takedown). A little later, it’s upgraded to Ramming Jet II (+10%) “Finish the part first, then I’ll install it.”Pay 4,000. Later, Ramming Jet III (+30%) is installed “I’m not interested.”Nothing happens If you go for Takedowns a lot, pay the 4,000 and take Ramming Jet III. Every tier of Ramming Jet is only available through Mystery Encounters.
Hibi Lets you pick a deal with a new supplier	After finishing your first tour / up to the 3rd planet	“Let’s get the cheap packs.”
Hibi is making a deal with a new supplier and lets you choose whether parts or packs get cheaper. “Let’s go for some affordable parts.”At Hibi’s Shop, parts become half price, while upgrade and ability packs cost double “Let’s get the cheap packs.”Packs become half price and parts cost double. Restocks (refreshing the shop’s stock) also get cheaper “No deal to either.”Nothing happens You can buy upgrade packs at half price, and restocks get cheaper too. On a tour where you want to stock up on parts, pick the parts deal instead.
Malis Vazosk Lets you choose what he sabotages on your vehicle	From the 2nd planet	“I’ll pay double if you don’t sabotage me.” (4,000)
Kestar has paid Malis to sabotage your vehicle, but Malis lets you choose what he tampers with (or what he leaves alone). “Don’t touch my ramjet.”50% chance you lose 1 part. 50% chance your steering pulls to one side in the next race “Don’t mess with my vehicle parts.”50% chance 3 random upgrades are lowered. 50% chance your Ramjet is sabotaged in the next race “Quit being Kestar’s dog and leave me alone.”90% chance you lose 2 parts and your Ramjet is also sabotaged in the next race. 10% chance nothing happens “I’ll pay double if you don’t sabotage me.”Pay 4,000 and nothing happens Pay the 4,000 and you lose nothing. If you can’t afford it, “Don’t touch my ramjet.” does the least damage. A sabotaged Ramjet builds heat three times as fast, which makes it more likely to explode.
Malis Vazosk Offers to sabotage other racers (3-part chain)	After clearing Act II / up to the 4th planet	First offer: “I want you to steal from my rival.” (2,000)
Malis offers to sabotage other racers for credits. Each time you hire him, the next offer follows, and the third one unlocks a Favor. First offer: “I want you to sabotage another racer.”Pay 1,000. In the next race, he sabotages one racer’s vehicle “I want you to steal from my rival.”Pay 2,000 and get an Epic part. In the next race, he sabotages your rival’s vehicle “I’m not interested in your services.”Nothing happens Second offer: “I want you to sabotage the other racers.”Pay 5,000. He sabotages the vehicles of 5 random racers “I want you to sabotage Kestar.”Pay 7,000. He sabotages Kestar’s vehicle in this tour’s Championship Race “I’m not paying for your dirty work.”Nothing happens Third offer: “You’re hired.”Pay 7,000 and unlock the Underhanded Upperhand Favor “I don’t want your help.”Nothing happens On the first offer, 2,000 gets you an Epic part and sabotages your rival’s vehicle too. Going all the way to the Favor costs 13,000–16,000 in total, so pursue it on a tour where you have credits to spare.
Soren Zaks Proposes buying parts together	No specific conditions	“Let’s do it.” (4,000)
Soren suggests pooling credits with you and Ary Quill to buy expensive parts. “Let’s do it.”Pay 4,000 for a +1 upgrade to all six stats. For the rest of this tour, Soren’s and Ary’s vehicles also get stronger “We aren’t a team.”For the rest of this tour, Soren’s and Ary’s vehicles get weaker 4,000 gets you six +1 upgrades. On a tour where you’re struggling to beat Soren or Ary, declining weakens them both and makes them easier to beat.
Soren Zaks Offers a podium promise	After clearing Act I, from the 2nd planet	“I’ll finish in at least third place.”
If you finish the next race in the position you promised, podracer Volo Bolus gives you a reward. Fall short and you get nothing. “I can place first no problem.”Pay 3,500. Finish 1st in the next race to get a Legendary part and your 3,500 back “I can at least place second.”Pay 1,500. Finish in the top 2 to get an Epic part and your 1,500 back “I’ll finish in at least third place.”No payment. Finish in the top 3 to get a Rare part “I’ll pass.”Nothing happens The top-3 promise doesn’t cost anything, so there’s no downside to taking it. With the 1st-place promise, you lose 3,500 if you don’t win.
Biddy Blas Bets on who finishes first (3-part chain)	After meeting Biddy Blas / up to the 3rd planet	Accept all 3 if you can beat Biddy
Biddy Blas challenges you to a bet on which of you finishes first.

Unlocks the Racer Roulette Favor “I’m not playing your game.”Nothing happens (the chain ends here) If you can beat Biddy, take all three bets and claim the Favor. Racer Roulette is a Favor that gives you 1 extra League Token when you win 6 Sidebets against Biddy in a single tour.
Biddy Blas Hands you a part as a gift	After clearing Act I and meeting Biddy Blas / up to the 4th planet	“Give it to my rival instead.”

Either way, you only lose one upgrade.
Ori & Per Offer a discount for a League Token	Once the Scrap Dealer starts appearing / up to the 2nd planet	If you have 2 or more tokens, “Fine, take a token.”
Ori & Per give you a discount on the Scrap Dealer‘s goods in exchange for a League Token. “Fine, take a token.”Lose 1 League Token.

Faulty Parts can’t be removed until they’re repaired, and the Scrap Dealer can repair them.

Breaking Kestar’s rules, Sen Fira offers you a deal that swaps race winnings and upgrades. “I’ll trade upgrades for credits.”Race credits are doubled.

Which Answers Should You Avoid?

The following 5 answers cost you parts or upgrades, or get your vehicle sabotaged in a race. In every case, you can avoid that by picking a different answer.

Character	Answer to avoid	What happens	Pick this instead
Malis Vazosk	“Quit being Kestar’s dog and leave me alone.”	90% chance you lose 2 parts and your Ramjet is sabotaged in the next race	“I’ll pay double if you don’t sabotage me.” (4,000)
Kestar Bool	“Why? Did your father finally cut off your allowance?”	Lose 2 upgrades, and your vehicle explodes at the start of the next race	“Fine. Take the credits.” (2,500)
Ary Quill	“I’m not in a trading mood.”	50% chance 3 random upgrades are lowered	Any of the 3 trades
Biddy Blas	“Alright, hand it over then.”	You get an Epic part, but your vehicle explodes at the start of the next race	“Give it to my rival instead.”
Kestar Bool	“Malis is betraying you.”	You get 3,000, but there’s a 90% chance Malis later makes you pay 5,000	“I’m not telling you anything.”

In Malis’s and Kestar’s encounters, the harder you push back, the more you lose. Whenever you can afford to pay, paying means you lose nothing.

What’s the Expected Value of the Chance-Based Encounters?

These are the answers whose results come down to chance, and how much they return on average. The figure in parentheses is your net gain after subtracting what you paid.

Encounter and answer	Cost	Outcomes and odds	Average return
Fola Kanjen: “Sure. High risk, high reward, right?”	5,000	30% for 20,000, 50% for 12,000, 20% for 0	12,000 (+7,000)
Fola Kanjen: “Fine, here are a few credits.”	2,500	30% for 8,000, 65% for 6,000, 5% for 0	6,300 (+3,800)
Goli & 02-R0: “Sure, I’ll buy it from you.”	3,000	69% good outcome (Legendary part, League Token, etc.), 31% dud	69% chance of a good outcome
Hibi: “Okay, just don’t get caught.”	0	80% for a Legendary part, 20% for a 50% price hike at Hibi’s Shop	80% with no payment

Both of Fola’s bets return more than you put in, on average. If you have credits to spare, go with the 5,000 bet. Fola shows up again a little later to hand over your cut.

Goli’s box is a dud about 1 time in 3, counting both the empty box and the Common part. Getting a League Token out of it is a big win, so buy it when you have credits left over.

FAQ

What happens if you decline a Mystery Encounter?: In most cases, nothing. Declining only hurts you with Ary Quill, Kestar’s scratch claim and Malis’s sabotage. Ary has a 50% chance of lowering 3 of your upgrades, Kestar takes 1 ability, and Malis has a 90% chance of taking 2 parts. If you turn down Soren’s joint purchase, Soren and Ary get weaker.
Is there anything you can only get from Mystery Encounters?: For parts, Hibi’s prototype Ramming Jet I–III. For Favors, Biddy Blas’s Racer Roulette, Malis’s Underhanded Upperhand and Katja Mox’s Second Chance.
Why aren’t Sebulba‘s or Katja’s encounters showing up?: Some encounters only appear after you clear Act I or Act II, and others only after you’ve met that character once. Check the “When it appears” column in the table.
Are there encounters whose results don’t come right away?: Yes. Fola’s betting payout, Sen Fira’s settlement, Katja’s rewards and Hibi’s prototype part, among others, are handed over a little later when the same character shows up again.
