The galaxy is a treasure trove of forgotten lore and hidden messages, and the Datapad Archivist achievement rewards those who seek them out. This achievement requires you to find and read every datapad scattered across the various planets and star systems you visit. Datapads often contain valuable lore, quest hints, or even unlockable codex entries that deepen your understanding of the Star Wars universe. They can be found in almost any location: abandoned outposts, bustling cantinas, derelict starships, and even within the personal quarters of key characters. Make it a habit to thoroughly explore every nook and cranny of each area you enter. Interact with any glowing or highlighted object that resembles a datapad.
Tips for Datapad Hunting:
- Systematic Exploration: When entering a new area, mentally divide it into sections and clear each one before moving on. This prevents you from missing any hidden corners.
- Listen for Cues: Some games provide subtle audio or visual cues when a collectible is nearby. Pay attention to these hints.
- Check Quest Areas: Datapads are often placed in areas relevant to current quests, so revisiting quest locations after completion can sometimes reveal missed items.
- Companion Assistance: While companions may not directly find datapad for you, their presence can sometimes highlight interactive objects or provide context to the lore you discover.
The Datapad Archivist achievement is a testament to your dedication to uncovering the full story of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. Be thorough, be curious, and the galaxy's secrets will be yours.
