Unearthing the Lore: Databank Entries and Holocrons
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is rich with lore, and the Databank serves as Cal Kestis's personal archive for all the information he gathers. Throughout your journey across Koboh, Jedha, and other planets, you'll discover Databank entries hidden within Data Scans, enemy logs, and environmental storytelling. These entries provide crucial context about the galaxy's history, the state of the Jedi Order, the Empire's machinations, and the various factions you encounter.
Finding all Databank entries is essential for players aiming for 100% completion and a deeper understanding of the game's narrative. These entries are often found near Meditation Points, in hidden alcoves, or as rewards for completing specific side objectives. BD-1's scanning ability is your primary tool for uncovering these secrets. When you see a prompt to scan an object or a data point, do so.
In addition to Databank entries, Jedi Holocrons are scattered throughout the game. These ancient artifacts contain vital information, often related to Force abilities or Jedi lore. Some Holocrons grant immediate skill points, while others contribute to your overall understanding of the Jedi past. Their locations are varied, ranging from well-guarded Imperial facilities to ancient ruins.
Types of Lore Collectibles:
- Data Scans: These are the most common form of Databank entry. BD-1 can scan various objects, terminals, and even certain creatures to add information to the Databank.
- Enemy Logs: Sometimes, defeating specific enemies or finding their discarded equipment can yield valuable log entries detailing their origins or motivations.
- Environmental Lore: Observing murals, inscriptions, and the general state of the environment can also trigger Databank entries, providing historical context.
- Jedi Holocrons: These are rare and powerful artifacts that often provide direct benefits like skill points or unlock sificant lore revelations.
To maximize your lore collection, explore every nook and cranny of each area. Use BD-1's scanner liberally, and pay attention to any unusual visual or audio cues that might indicate a hidden collectible. The Databank itself is a valuable resource, allowing you to revisit entries and piece together the intricate tapestry of the Star Wars universe as presented in Jedi: Survivor.
Tips for Finding Lore:
- Always scan objects when prompted.
- Explore off the beaten path; lore is rarely on the main road.
- Listen for BD-1's distinct scanning sound.
- Revisit areas after acquiring new abilities, as they may unlock access to previously unreachable lore items.
