Star Wars Outlaws is filled with villains of all shapes and sizes – not only do you play as one, but almost every character you meet is a bit of a villain. One of those villains is Gorak, the head of the Pyke Syndicate, a fearsome criminal organization with great influence in the far corners of the galaxy.
Early in the story, our heroine Kay Vess meets the crime boss in a fateful encounter that triggers her journey into the depths of the galaxy’s underworld. During this encounter, her little cat lizard friend Nix steals a ring, and when you do, you’re left with several options.
In this guide, we’ll cover whether or not you should sell Gorak’s Ring and explain when it will come back into play.

Shortly after your first meeting with Gorak, you’ll notice that you have an item called Gorak’s Ring in your valuables inventory. Although it’s in the same section as items you can and should sell, the description of Gorak’s Ring is a little different than most valuables:
This item can be sold for credits, but may be useful later.
This is pretty mysterious! The ring sells for 500 credits – a little more if you sell it to a favored Syndicate dealer – which is a pretty decent chunk of money early in the game, but as the description suggests, there’s a use for it later in the game.
After a series of events that definitely did not go in Gorak’s favor, Kay will face the crime boss again quite a bit later in the game. Here he will challenge Kay and ask her to return the ring. If she does, Kay’s reputation with the Pykes to improve a little, but significantly. However, not return the ring does not lead to a loss of reputationand you can then exchange it for your 500 credits.
If you already have a good reputation with the Pykes, or you don’t care about improving your reputation with them, you should either sell the ring or keep it. If you’re desperate to impress Gorak and his team of minions, or if you’re being hunted by the Pykes’ death squad, you should probably give the ring back to him – until this becomes relevant, making money in Star Wars Outlaws won’t be difficult at all.
