Knowing how to infiltrate Gorak's base in Star Wars Outlaws is a vital lesson to learn if you’re going to successfully sneak through the Pyke District undetected. It’s easier said than done however as this mission introduces stealth mechanics largely through trial and error.
It makes for a particularly unforgiving mission, given if you get spotted by any of the guards you’ll instantly return you to the beginning. It took me multiple runs to get through, so based on my own experiences, here's a walkthrough on how to infiltrate Gorak's base in Star Wars Outlaws and navigate the Pyke Stronghold.
How to sneak into Gorak's base in Star Wars Outlaws
To sneak through the Pyke District you need to follow the quest marker to Infiltrate Gorak's base in Star Wars Outlaws until you reach an open vent, which you can then climb through to reach Syndicate Territory.
At this point you'll receive some guidance telling you to head to the second floor terrace to access Gorak's base. From this point on, patrolling enemies will investigate your position if they spot you from a distance, but if you manage to move away and hide elsewhere they will move on. If you get caught within the Pyke District then you'll be reset to the starting location. Fortunately, this doesn't affect your Star Wars Outlaws Faction reputation yet.
There are a number of possible routes you can take, but the one below is what worked for me in Star Wars Outlaws.
Head forward to the stairs, waiting for the guards ahead of you to move on. At the bottom of the stairs immediately swerve left and along the side corridor highlighted in the image – although you're tucked away here, you can still be spotted through the slats in the wall so stay low and move in cover.
In the next area, move forward behind cover until you reach some barrels at the far end, then look across the path to the alleyway highlighted. You want to dash across as the guard in the alley starts walking away, while avoiding the two guards patrolling the main path.
Once in the alleyway, send Nix to Power Off the security camera ahead, then take down the guard stealthily from behind. This just leaves one final guard to deal with, in the open area beyond the alley.
Tuck yourself in behind the wall at the end of the alleyway, then use a Nix Distraction to lure the guard into the alley from the area ahead. Once they've gone past, you can take them out from behind to clear the path in front of you.
Move ahead and hide behind the pillar on your right, making sure the two patrolling guards aren't around to spot you before moving on. Approach the highlighted grid on the wall and interact to climb it, then jump to the bars on your left to climb up to the platform above. Use Star Wars Outlaws lockpicking to open the door on the right, then climb through the vent in this room to reach the next area.
In the next area, press the button on the left at the lower level to call the Turbolift – you can send Nix to do this or climb down the ladder and do it yourself. With the left Turbolift lowered, jump on top of it from the platform you arrived on, then jump to the narrow platform ahead and send Nix through the gap to call the other Turbolift.
From the top of the second Turbolift you can jump to the grid on the wall, then climb up and right to find a bar you can jump to and reach the platform above. Enter the large broken pipe and follow the path inside to your right.
Ahead the path branches and a large fan blocks it to the right, so go to the left and send Nix through the bars to open the shutter, before quickly shooting the exposed core with your blaster. This will stop the fan spinning, so you can proceed up the pipe.
In the next area you'll find a bar to grapple and swing over a gap, but before you move on it's worth going down the ladder to search the area below, as there are several resources here including a chest you can hack for Speeder Material.
Swing over the gap, climb the ladder, then pass through a final room and you'll arrive in the Pyke Stronghold location. The previous restrictions are now lifted, meaning you can continue sneaking or 'go loud' without being automatically captured, though I recommend you continue using stealth to disable the Energy Barrier so you don't have to fight off a lot of additional enemies.
Remember, you don't have to worry too much about upsetting factions during all this just yet, but you will have to eventually choose between Eleera or Gorak in Star Wars Outlaws if you carry on along this quest line.
