Alderaan Datacrons Guide

You can see this datacron from the river, but you are supposed to go up to a higher level of the mountains and take the tram down onto the island. However if you are good at jumping, you can simply jump up the rocks that make up the island if you pick the right spot to start.

Quick Travel / Taxi

Run to the Zipline

There is a small tram on a metal wire just west of House Alde.

Wait for the Tram

Once the tram is coming back up and is close to the platform, you can jump onto the tram.

Don’t try to jump onto the wire as your character will fall though. Ride the tram to the island with the datacron.

Alternative

If you do not want to wait for the tram, you can also jump down into the river where the island with the datacron is. If you go on the side of the island that has a high peak on it, you will be able to find a sloped ledge that you can jump up on to if you are mounted. You can then easily jump up the side of the island and get the datacron.

You will need to obtain a Red Detonite Actuator item before you can get this datacron, hidden deep in a Killik cave.

Get Red Detonite Actuator

To blast open a cave for this datacron you will need to buy a Red Detonite Actuator item from a vendor named Lain-Ricie in the Juran mountains. This is the same vendor that sells the MGGS item – if you like collecting datacrons and other achievements you should buy one of each of the three items this vendor sells.

The closest Republic quick travel point is the House Alde quick travel point and the closest taxi is the House Alde Library Thranta speeder point, on the right side of the map, and then run quite a ways south along the mountain paths to the vendor.

The closest Imperial quick travel point is the Outpost Talarn quick travel point and the closest taxi is the Outpost Talarn Thranta speeder point, which are both very close, and you can cheat a bit by jumping over some mountains to the west and you’ll practically be there.

requires the Red Detonite Actuator

If someone has already blown up the cave recently, you don’t need to blow it up and can walk right into the new tunnel.

Quick Travel / Taxi

Run to Castle Panteer

Castle Panteer is the island in the far west of the map.

Find the Hidden Doorway

The Datacron will be on the upper level of Castle Panteer – if you get stuck on the walkway by a giant statue that’s fallen over, don’t try to jump over it, instead go backwards and go the other way around the walkway.

This Datacron is hidden on a dam on Alderaan, but you’ll need to first find a grapple hook item that will allow you to jump over to it.

Get MGGS Item

To get to the grapple points for this datacron, you’ll need an MGGS item from a vendor named Lain-Ricie in the Juran mountains. This is the same vendor that sells the MGGS item – if you like collecting datacrons and other achievements you should buy one of each of the three items this vendor sells.

The closest Republic quick travel point is the House Alde quick travel point and the closest taxi is the House Alde Library Thranta speeder point, on the right side of the map, and then run quite a ways south along the mountain paths to the vendor.

The closest Imperial quick travel point is the Outpost Talarn quick travel point and the closest taxi is the Outpost Talarn Thranta speeder point, which are both very close, and you can cheat a bit by jumping over some mountains to the west and you’ll practically be there.

Imperial side, the [HEROIC 2+] Sabotage heroic shuttle will put you right outside the datacron.

Run to the Dam

Republic side, the dam is very far from the nearest Republic taxi or quick travel. If you choose to start at House Alde, you’ll just need to run north for a very long time until you reach the dam.
