This guide will show you how to unlock Lando Calrissian, The High Roller Expert, in Star Wars Outlaws when you visit Akiva. This expert has a whole bag of tricks to teach Kay!
How to get The High Roller quest
To get the intel for this quest, you need to have completed the main quest on Akiva. Go to the Alcazar cantina. It is to the south of the spaceport.
Ad you enter the cantina, past the corrupt Imperial officer, you will hear two people discussing an underground Sabacc parlor. This will give you the Private Parlor intel quest.
Follow the Intel and go around to the other side of the Satrap’s Promenade, to the gambling den near the Myrra Hutt district. In the basement, there is an invite-only Sabacc parlor going on and your goal is to get in.
A trandoshan will spot you at the entrance to the underground room. It doesn’t matter what you tell him. You can use either option and he will stille let you in.
Inside, you will meet Lando Calrissian himself. The legendary smuggler. During the events of the game, Lando is already a rebel. It’s just adorable how Kay talks to him not knowing his legacy. I guess, she has not yet seen the OT.
Talking to him will resolve the Intel quest. Now you get the real quest – The High Roller. Completing this one, will unlock Lando as your expert.
The High Roller Quest Walkthrough
This is the step-by-step walkthrough for the quest that will unlock for you Lando as an expert and grant you a bunch of Sabacc rewards and other goodies while you are working towards its completion.
Win Lando’s Lucky Shift Token back
Lando has asked of you to go to Kijimi and win back his lucky token. Travel to Kijimi. Go to the Crimson Dawn district in the city and sit down to play some Sabacc.
Note that this establishment is inside the Crimson Dawn district and if you are not in good standing with the syndicate, you will have to sneak in or improve your reputation to Good or Excellent.
After you win the game of Sabacc, you will also improve your reputation with the Crimson Dawn syndicate and earn the Immunity, Exhaustion, Major Fraud token collectibles, 300 Credits and Lando’s Lucky Shift Token.
As you will find out later, the goal is not to play real Sabacc for this mission. It’s a tradeoff in disguise.
Take to Akiva Orbit
Go back to the Trailblazer and take to the Akiva Orbit. While traveling towards the marked location, an Imperial squad will intercept and demand that you submit for a routine cargo inspection. Your options are to defeat the TIE Fighters or escape.
The quest’s objective advises you to evade them. Boost towards the planet Akiva and when you are close enough, the prompt to land will appear on your screen. You will likely be Wanted when you get back to the surface. Wait it out somewhere safe and away from patrolling troopers.
Talk to Lando’s Associate on Akiva
Head to the Kabara Foothills where Lando has arranged to meet you. When you arrive near a bridge close to the marked location on the map, Lando will start giving you instructions on what to do and where to go.
When you arrive to the marked location, Lando will not be there. Instead, you will see a fight between Imperials and Rebels. Classic! Talk to Lando’s associate.
Defend the Rebels against the Empire
Talking to the associate will start a sequence of several waves of Imperial troopers attacking you from different sides. There are a lot of supplies around this rebel camp. Make sure to blow up the canisters when Imperial troops are near them to make things easier for yourself.
Talk to Lando
Lando has arrived. After the fight is over, talk to him. You will learn that the token and the Sabacc win game were just a disguise and the token is actually a datapad with valuable information. This completes The High Roller quest.
