Mek-Sha Datacrons Guide

Mek-Sha is known for its two off-the-beaten path datacrons, which are both available to both factions. The first is a green datacron hidden in gang territory that’s part of a long and difficult jumping puzzle with lots of twists and turns, and the second datacron is a red one that requires jumping onto a floating disc as it whizzes by.

Find the Entrance

Go Up the Ramp

Just inside, there will be a little ramp bridge heading up.

 

Jump Over the Little Gap

Just up the bridge there will be a small gap you can jump over and into on your speeder.

From there you are trying to get onto a set of metal staircases at the end of the caged tunnel.

You can jump to the circular vent on the wall. I had better luck off my speeder.

Then you jump to the stairs. Don’t try and get a running jump off the circular vent, you’ll just slide off.

This set of jumps is hard and annoying, as if you fall, you’ll fall right into a patch of enemies.

Staricase

When you do make the jump, head up the narrow staircase.

From there, ignore all the lights and caged areas, just jump the big gap onto the shipping crates. Get a running jump and do it on your speeder.

From there, jump onto the crate with a pile of garbage on top – you’ll actually be able to see the datacron from here if you look up, but you’ll need to travel further to get to it.

Canopy

Jump from the crate to the canopy.

 

I think there’s more than one way to do this but next I jump onto the higher canopy.

Then I awkward fall down onto the floor of the edge of the building below the canopy.

From there you can sneak through a little crack behind an air duct.

Edge to Walkway

This is a hard jump at the end. It’s a very far, long jump. You’re trying to get back to the platform where the datacron is.

Back up, get a running start, and jump at the very end of the platform. If you don’t get a proper jump, you’ll land halfway up and have to start over.

Climb the Boxes

Once you’ve made that final jump, you can just climb and jump your way up the boxes to the datacron!

* The codexes Huttbreaker’s Rebellion and The Hutts Discover Mek-Sha are both from the Datacrons on Mek-Sha, but I’m not sure which is from which, as I have already collected all the datacrons and can not double-check them.

  • Mek-Sha Mastery +7 Datacron (Both Factions)
  • Quicktravel: Slugfall Harbor / Slugfall Cantina
  • Taxi: Slugfall Harbor / Slugfall Cantina
  • Location: Slugfall Harbor - very bottom of the area under the cantina, accessed by falling
  • Difficulty: Very Hard - must jump on moving disc, missing is lethal
  • Codex: The Huttbreaker's Rebellion

This datacron is very hard to get as it requires a very carefully timed jump onto a fast moving object. There are other ways to get it, but this guide will only cover the intended way to get it, and will not cover the concept of logging off while falling over the datacron’s platform, nor will it cover jumping down the pink sign.

Quick Travel / Taxi

Find a Good Spot

If you go to the farther bridge on the left, you can jump down to a lower platform with a cargo truck on it.

You can wait on the corner of this platform for the disc to come by.

Jump Onto the Disc

The disc will eventually come by, either from the right of left.

It will be moving very fast and not stop for you.

You can then jump your way down.

Another Method

Highly recommend you to go check out this video by Kid-Lee. He shows a method I like a lot better than the normally recommend route but you really need to see it in a video!
