SWTOR Taris Datacron Locations Guide

In this SWTOR Taris Datacron locations guide, you will find not only a list of coordinates, directions, and rewards of all the Taris Datacrons, but also video guides to find each of these Datacrons for both Republic and Imperial players.

We will start with the video walkthroughs and then follow that up with our text-based guide. The text can be helpful if you are not sure where the entrance is to the specific areas where the Datacron puzzles and obstacles begin.

SWTOR Taris Datacron Locations – Video Walkthroughs

Note that on Taris, there are 5 Datacrons for each faction. However, each faction has 2 unique Datacrons that only they can get access to, whereas there are three shared Datacrons.

As a result, our first video covers all 5 datacrons for Imperial players in order:

The first two are Imperial only, whereas the last three are available to both factions. As a result, Republic players can start the video at 4:05 into the video, as from here to the end of the video, we cover the shared datacrons.

Below, you will find two additional videos, one for each of the Republic Datacrons not covered in our first video. These are listed as Datacron 1 and 2 on the sheet below, respectively. These are the ones only available to Republic players:

Datacron 1:

Datacron 2:


SWTOR Taris Datacron Locations Guide – Coordinates and Rewards

To refresh what was said above, Datacron 1 (Empire) and Datacron 2 (Empire) on the list below cover the first two datacrons (from 0:00-4:05) in the first video. Datacron 1 (Republic) and Datacron 2 (Republic) cover the Datacrons shown in the second and third video, respectively. Datacrons 3-5 are available to both factions and covered from 4:05 until the end of the first video guide.

Additionally, the rewards for all 5 Datacrons are different based on faction. This is because Taris is a low-level planet for Republic players and a mid-level planet for Imperial players.

  • Datacron 1 (Empire Only) – (X: 444, Y: -772). Willpower +4. Head to Forward Outpost Alpha and then go north into The Sinking City. This is a heroic area with level 33-34 elites, but you should be able to dodge most of them. Head to (X: 371, Y: -907) and notice there are multiple fallen columns. Climb up the one you see when facing west at this location and then follow along with the video.
  • Datacron 1 (Republic Only) – (X: -360, Y: -227). Willpower +2. Found in the Dynamet General Hospital. Follow the first video for a walkthrough specific to this Datacron.
  • Datacron 2 (Empire Only) – (X: 643, Y: 1607). Cunning +4. Start at the entrance to the Abandoned Pirate Cave at (X: -756, Y: 1192). Head to the back and go down into the Republic Mines. Head to the Bulldozer at (X: -639, Y: 1537). Climb this and follow along with the video to get to the Datacron’s final location. For the jumps, make sure sprint is on. Some people like to turn Sprint off to make the jumps easier, but on this datacron some of them require it so you can make the long jumps.
  • Datacron 2 (Republic Only) – (X: -1058, Y: 1040). Green Matrix Shard. Found in the abandoned power plant. This requires 2 players to unlock, so bring a friend. This Datacron is a bit hard to explain via text, so check the second video for a video walkthrough.
  • Datacron 3 (Both Factions) – (X: 1187, Y: -575). Strength +2 (Republic) or Presence +4 (Empire). This Datacron is found in Transport Station 5, which is a pain to find. The entrance is at (X: 389, Y: -182), which is quite a bit aways from the datacron’s final resting location. Once you enter Transport Station 5, it is all the way in the north east corner in the big open room.
  • Datacron 4 (Both Factions) – (X: 1048, Y:453). +2 Cunning (Republic) or +4 Aim (Empire). Start by climbing the pipe at (X: 1182, Y: 259). The video shows you where to go from there; I recommend staying mounted for a few of the longer jumps in the video, but be sure to drop your mount near the end, as there is a jump which is hard to make while mounted and a spot where you have to hug the wall that you can easily fall off if you try and stay mounted.
  • Datacron 5 (Both Factions) – (X: -1513, Y:-255). Cunning +2 (Republic) or Endurance +3 (Empire). Found in the Republic Resettlement Zone, a heroic area in the far northwest side of the map. It is not too far north of the Republic spaceport (or Tower Command for Imperial players if you picked up that Taxi during your stay here). Head to (X: -1365, Y: -209), and jump up on the lip of the pillar here. Follow this (via the video) to the Datacron’s final resting spot, as it is a very long ride.

SWTOR Taris Datacron Locations Guide

By following the videos and descriptions above, you can unlock 5 fairly easy to get Datacrons on Taris. The real trick here is simply finding out exactly where the area where the Datacron obstacles begin, which should be easy when you use the coordinates in our text guides and the global map views in our video.
