SWTOR Tatooine Datacron Locations

In this SWTOR Tatooine datacron locations guide, we will be providing a video walkthrough and text-based guide for finding the 5 Datacrons hidden on the planet of Tatooine.


SWTOR Tatooine Datacron Locations Guide – Video Walkthrough

Finding the Tatooine datacrons is a lot easier when watching a video. Here is the video walkthrough:

Note that on Tatooine, 4 of the 5 Datacrons are able to be found by the same faction, but each faction also has 1 datacron that only they can get. In the video above, all 5 Empire datacrons are shown.

Republic players are not able to get the second Datacron shown in the video above (shown from 0:22 – 1:55). Republic players can view the video below to check out their own Datacron in place of Datacron 2:


SWTOR Tatooine Datacron Locations List – Rewards & Coordinates

  • Datacron 1: (X:-621, Y:-25). Aim +3. Start from Mos Anek and head to the heroic crash site area. Head towards (X:-600, Y:-55), moving to the ledge of the cliff there. Look over the ledge and you will see the Datacron sitting on the wreckage of a ship crashed into the side of the cliff. Jump down and grab the Datacron, then jump off and you will end up in The Dune Sea.
  • Datacron 2 (Empire): (X:727, Y:3132). Cunning +3. Found in Mos Ila. Start at (X: 441, Y:3142), and follow the rocks around the edge of the house. You will see a big red tent covering that you can jump onto and run across to get onto the set of buildings. From here, it is very hard to describe, so just watch the video starting at 0:22.
  • Datacron 2 (Republic): (X: 2140, Y: -3670). Cunning +3. The second video details this Datacron’s location in detail. It is found in Anchorhead (your starting town) and is cleary shown in the video.
  • Datacron 3: (X: -2390, Y: -1394). Blue Matrix Shard. Both Datacron 3 and 4 are unlocked at the same time, so make sure you read the info and watch the video for 3 and 4 before going after Datacron 3. Start by going to the southwest corner of the Dune Sea, heading to (X: -2336, Y:1). Climb on top of the wreckage here. About once an hour, a Jawa Balloon (i.e. a hot air balloon) will float nearby. You can jump on it from the wreckage. It moves incredibly slow. You can usually see it 5-10 minutes in advance before it gets there, and this is no exaggeration. Once you get on it, you have to ride it for about 30-40 minutes. After awhile, you will spot the wreckage of another ship (a lot like the first one you started on) in the distance. This has a visible Datacron on it. You have to make a small jump from the ship to the Datacron, though wait until you get right over top of it just in case (watch the video). Missing the jump would be devastating given how long this takes to find.
  • Datacron 4: (X: -2393, -1391). +3 Strength. Once you get Datacron 3, if you are you will notice that on the side of the ship there is a small platform. Walk off the edge (I recommend walking backwards, since you move slower when walking backwards) to drop down on this small platform. There is another Datacron here. Check the video, because if you fall off and miss you have to do the whole thing over again.
  • Datacron 5: (X: 2074, Y: -577). +3 Willpower. From the Mos Anek taxi (Republic players probably have something closer), move to (X: 2080, Y: -438). Here, climb up on the ledge and look down. You will see a projection which you can jump down onto. There is a cave here in the side of the cliff that you can take to the datacron’s final location. You do have to fight level 28 elites to get this datacron, so you might want to bring a friend or wait until you are a higher level to get this one.

SWTOR Tatooine Datacron Locations Guide

By following the videos above, you can easily get all of the Tatooine Datacrons. While Tatooine has a lot less tough jumps to make than the other planets, waiting for the Jawa hot air balloon can take a very long time, so be patient!
