SWTOR Alderaan Datacron Locations Guide

In this SWTOR Alderaan Datacron Locations guide, we provide a text list and video walkthrough for all 5 datacrons found on Alderaan.

Note that on Alderaan, players of both factions actually are able to get the same 5 datacrons; there are no unique datacrons or strategies based on your faction here. This means that if you are on a PvP server, you might want to bring a friend or two, as you are likely to run into an enemy player at any given time of the day when chasing these.

We will start with the video guide and then go into a text-based guide with coordinates, rewards, and tips.


SWTOR Alderaan Datacron Locations – Video Walkthrough

Datacron 1 starts at 0:00 (video time), Datacron 2 at 1:10, Datacron 3 at 4:09, Datacron 4 at 4:58, and Datacron 5 at 5:24.


SWTOR Alderaan Datacron Guide – Coordinates, Rewards, Strategies

  • Datacron 1 – (X: 1105, Y: 81). Aim +4. Head to the Organa Compound west of House Alde. At (X:1176, Y:-89) you will see thin snow-covered path which you can take back to a small platform. On this platform, there is a broken lift which you can jump on and ride down to the little island where you will find the datacron.
  • Datacron 2 – (X: 2721, Y: 2497). Endurance +3. Go to the vendor at (X:1867, Y:1090) and buy a Red Detonite Actuator (2000 credits). You should pick up the MGGS while you are here, as this is needed not only for this Datacron but also for the +10 stats datacron you get at the end of the game. Once you buy the actuator, go to the Ruur Killik Burrows entrance at (X: 2365, Y:2449), way south of the King’s Pass lettering on the world map in the heroic King’s Pass area. Go straight until you hit a dead end, and you will see a small detonator on the wall. With the actuator in hand, you can blow up the wall to reveal a hidden area where the Datacron rests.
  • Datacron 3 – (X: -81, Y:-267). Presence +3. Head to the Saddled Thranta at (X: -418, Y:200) near Outpost Ghrent. Click on it and you fly to the Datacron.
  • Datacron 4 – (X: 2190, Y:-2018). Strength +4. Head to the Lerantha Dam near the Datacron’s coordinates. If you bought the MGGS earlier, simply click on the glowing thing above the Datacron and you will get pulled to it. Technically you can get this Datacron through clever jumping, but you need the MGGS later, so you might as well get it. You can buy the MGGS at the same vendor that you did for Datacron 2 (X: 1867, Y:1090) on Alderaan.
  • Datacron 5 – (X: -2375, Y: -424). Willpower +3. Head to Castle Panteer at (X: -2305, Y: -413). Go to the fake door at (-2489, -372). You can move through this door to the side to get to a hidden stairway. At the top of the steps, you can go around the  balcony counter-clockwise to get to the Datacron. Players with “big” frames (i.e. not the skinniest character frames) have reported not being able to fit through the crack in the door. You can get around this by bringing a friend with you with a pulling ability like Extricate to pull you to the balcony (while you are standing in the open area on the first floor). Alternatively, sometimes you can lag through the door by pressing “c” and “p” and space bar at the same time while trying to move through the crack. This tries to open two panes at once and with jumping it will let you sneak through the crack. This is not an exploit since you are supposed to be able to fit through this crack but due to not considering large frames, it does not work.
