Ossus has three datacrons that are available to both factions. The first is known as “the” Ossus datacron, a very special green datacron that’s part of a longer hidden quest chain that ends up at Ood Bnar’s secret grove. The second and third are much less famous, but there’s also a red datacron up a jumping puzzle through the center of a mountain cave, and a yellow datacron that you can only get t once you have found a crushed explorer’s grappling device.

Quick Travel / Taxi
Republic side, there is a quick travel and taxi on the same map as the entrance to the datacron.
Imperial side, there is the Dead Forest quick travel, but no taxi, if you don’t have the quick travel take the Ossus Canyons Camps speeder and the run north.
Find the Cave
Find the Secret Entrance
Inside the short cave there will be a hidden crack in the wall with some stone steps in it, which you can climb up into. Look for blue mushrooms on the wall for a hint to the path.
Climb the Steep Cave
From there, just start climbing up any way you can.
There’s really only one way to get kinda stuck, and if that happens just back track and go the other way.
Once outside, jump from the mountain to the roof of the ruins.
And get the datacron!
- Ossus Presence +6 Datacron (Both Factions)
- Quicktravel: Catacombs Entrace / Ancient Catacombs
- Taxi: Ancient Catacombs / Ancient Catacombs
- Location: Ossus Canyons - broken bridge only accessed by a special item
- Difficulty: Easy - can get to it right away with the item
- Codex: The Unlikely Survival of Ossus
You may be able to see this datacron up on a bridge while exploring Ossus, but you won’t be able to get it until you’ve first found the Grapple Device from the Crushed Explorer elsewhere.
Quick Travel / Taxi to get Grapple Device
Republic side, there is a quick travel and taxi on the same map as the entrance to the datacron.
Imperial side, there is the Dead Forest quick travel, but no taxi, if you don’t have the quick travel take the Ossus Canyons Camps speeder and the run north.
Find Grapple Device
If you have already gotten this datacron, you will not be able to pick up the Grapple Device, it is an item that shows up in your Mission inventory.
Quick Travel / Taxi to the Bridge
Catacombs Entrance is the quick travel point both Republic and Imperial side.
Find the Bridge
Republic – Catacombs Entrance quick travel / Ancient Catacombs Speeder
Imperial – Ancient Catacombs quick travel / Ancient Catacombs Speeder
Climb the Broken Steps
Grapple
If you have the Grapple Device you will be able to see the green circle you can right-click to grapple hook across.
Note, don’t log out until you get the datacron. You may spawn under the bridge otherwise and will have to take the grapple hook back up again, /stuck does not work, you’ll need to quick travel away first. If you are trying to summon, much of the platform is bugged – my group found a good little spot on top of a block of stone that works, off the floor, for a summon.
