Penrhys

Did it. Thanks for the advice everyone. In case anyone else has this problem, I shall summarize the steps First you fight the handmaiden three times. Last one culminating in the fight you can use the shields. Then the exile gets dressed. Then the exile tells Handmaiden to get dressed and she puts on the jedi robes. And the exile talks to handmaiden about her mother. (If you seek to train her at this point, she will agree to, but doesn't make the switch) So instead of offering to train, the exile should go talk to Kreia, who says dont train Handmaiden. (I said no problem, I wont do it) Then you say you are going to leave and Kreia tells you no really, do not train the handmaiden. Then go back and try to fight the handmaiden, she says nothing more to teach. Exile then offers to teach. Now there are different conversation choices and the "Betrayal" cut scene kicks in. Clearly Atris thinks handmaiden betrayed her. But does Kreia think I betrayed her? I guess time will tell. Will I regret training the handmaiden?

Thanks, this sounds like good advice. I think this is what I did wrong. I have an old save game, so I will go back and try it again.

I did that. She seemed to warn me about it. Can't remember what else she said. Anyway I talked to Kreia. I think I talked to Handmaiden after that, and still no options. Do I need to go somewhere specfic? Does it need to be after a big battle?

Okay, I have the handmaiden wearing Jedi Robes. She has taught me all she says she has to teach me. She says she wants to learn to be a jedi. Or learn to use the force, I forget which. But she hasn't yet switched classes. How do I get this final step. Atton just switched right away and became a Jedi during the conversation. I have done a number of searches on this topic, but have not yet found an answer to this question
