Any version differences will be accounted for upon discovery, but are not initially my responsibility.>> Hello, and welcome to my humble holocron guide, there are just a few things you should know before you read on. First, this guide deals with those colored cubes you find all scattered about, and nothing more. I highly suggest that you beat the game before attempting to collect all of these, as I like to comment on some of the plot elements, for conversational purposes. That, and I find it deducts from the story if you waste energy finding these on the first playthrough. Now, the basic premise here is to give you a detailed description of the effects of each holocron, and where it is/how to get it. If you have trouble finding some of the holocrons, then I suggest you either cross-reference with another guide or switch to another guide altogether. There are no holocrons on either boss level. In any case, the basic layout of the holocron locations is as thus: ##) <general location> <detailed location. This often uses landmarks or previous holocron locations as reference points, so be prepared for that.> <reward> =============================================================================== 02: Rewards [rwrds] =============================================================================== Who does anything these days without some kind of reward? No matter. There are ample rewards for the collecting of holocrons. Perhaps the biggest reason is the lovely achievement you get for getting them all. But if that doesn't do it for you, then you'll be happy to know that there are many more rewards to be offered. The rewards are as follows: New Saber Crystals New Costumes More Health More Force Energy More Experience =============================================================================== 03: The Escape [escpe] =============================================================================== 01) First Catwalks Once you use grip to pull out the platform, the holocron should appear on the median platform. It's quite hard to miss. Saber Crystal: Chaos 02) Flame Hallway Continue till you enter a hallway with flams shooting from the floor. Dash past these, and you should see the holocron right in front of you. This is another difficult to miss holocron. Saber Crystal: Meditation 03) Second Catwalks This one is right after the last. Once you head outside, kill everything, and head around the circular catwalk. The holocron is on a platform extending from the middle of this half-circle catwalk. Green Bacta Tank (Health) 04) Force Field Room After you drop the fields by throwing items into the panels, continue to the next room. The holocron is sitting over the table, it is quite visible. Experience 05) Third Catwalks This is once again very hard to miss. Continue the level until you reach the area where you use grip to raise the platform. Continue from here to the gap, and you should see the holocron floating above said gap. use a jump-jump-dash to get it. Experience 06) Flee For Your Life Hallway This one is almost right after the previous. After you kill the shield droid, head through the door and turn left, should be right there. Don't go down the hallway, as a scene will ensue, and you won't be able to get back to this holocron Blue Bacta Tank (Force Energy) =============================================================================== 04: The Eastern Arch [earch] =============================================================================== 01) Landing Platform After you get the bridge to extend, rather than going inside the building, go left across the second bridge. The holocron is behind some crates. Saber Crystal: Protection 02) First Tram Area Continue until you reach the point where you must raise some platforms to go on. Once you do, the holocron is on the end of the catwalk you're supposed to go to in order to continue the level. There's actually a small cutscene showing it's location. Experience 03) Catwalks Continue onward until you force push your way through a door. Make your way through this building, and when you push your way outside again, the holocron is on your left next to the door. Saber Crystal: Fury 04) Second Hallway Set Continue till you reach another interior. The holocron is under the spherical decoration in the middle. Use force grip to move it. Saber Crystal: Healing 05) Flee For Your Life Bridge Continue till you go up an elevator and stop. Look out the door. See it all the way down there? Yeah, the bridge is going to blow up as you run accross it, so when that happens, you have to jump and pick it up as you go. Blue Bacta Tank (Force Energy) 06) First Casino Room In the first room after the bridge sequence, the holocron can be found happily languishing on the bridge in front of you. You should be able to see it as you walk in. Green Bacta Tank (Health) 07) Second Casino Room Right after you fall down the elevator shaft, look to your right. The holocron is sitting on the bridge, in quite the same fashion that 06 was. Experience 08) Jabba Hologram Room Continue until you reach a room with a hologram of jabba the hutt and three slot machines in front of it. Kill those slot machines, and the holocron will pop out. Theres actually a statue of Guybrush pointing at the hologram. Costume: Guybrush Threepkiller =============================================================================== 05: The Western Arch [warch] =============================================================================== 01) Starting Platform As soon as you start, walk around the structure to your right. In between the two little structures is the holocron. You start the level not 10 feet away from this one. Experience 02) Force Field Catwalk Continue until you reach the catwalk with the force fields on it. Destroy the fields, and continue to where there is a stack of 3 crates. The holocron is in the air a little past this, you should have seen it from a little back on the catwalk. Put one of these crate things underneath it and jump-jump to get it. Saber Crystal: Chaos 03) Paratrooper Room After you kill the two shield droids, continue into the next room. Once inside, the holocron is a little to the left, in the center of the room. Another way to know this is the correct room is to notice that this is the room where the paratroopers will shoot at you from through the windows. Blue Bacta Tank (Force Energy) 04) Barricade Bridge Continue past the first two barricades. The holocron is in the middle of the bride right between the second and third barricades. (I remember this being somewhere else the first time? Is this a glitch? if its not there, check the sides of the barricades.) Green Bacta Tank (Health) 05) Bone Room Continue until you defeat the gunship, and reach a room with a large skeleton in it. Once here, take the elevator up far enough to jump onto the skeleton, but don't take it any farther, as a cutscene will ensue. Once on the skeleton, jump-jump-dash to the platform to the right and claim the holocron. You can also do a dashing blast (jump-jump-dash-b) right from the elevator to get to it. Experience 06) Bone Room From the position of the last holocron, if you're skilled, you can jump down and dash into the area of this one. It's to the left of the last one if you look at the skeleton, and quite a ways lower. If you're not skilled, then you should be able to jump on the skeleton and then down and into the area. This might actually be harder than the first method though. Saber Crystal: Corrosion =============================================================================== 06: Degobah [degba] =============================================================================== 01) Top of Ship Jump onto a rock and then onto the ship. Not hard. Its the easiest one I think. Experience 02) Forward Cliff From the top of the ship, walk down the front, and jump onto the cliff. The holocron is to your right once you are on the cliff. Saber Crystal: Life Drain 03) Next to Ship You know that rock you used to get on the ship? Lift it up and the holocron will be right under it. If you got onto the ship another way, the rock in question is right behind and to the right of the ship. 04) Path Under a rock along the path to the cave. Right past the hut. Green Bacta Tank (Health) 05) Path You might actually have to try and miss this one in order to not get it. It's right in the middle of the path as you continue. Saber Crystal: Focus 06) Path Just forward from the last one, also in the middle of the path. Experience. =============================================================================== 07: Aboard the Salvation [atsal] =============================================================================== 01) Hallway After Terror Droids Once you kill all the little spidery things, continue through the door, and the holocron is right in the middle of the hallway. Saber Crystal: Regeneration 02) Tube Room Continue past the cutscene with Juno, and past the room and hallway with the teleport enemies. In next room, where there is a fuse sitting next to a door, do not put the fuse in that door. Rather, take it and go down the other hallway, and use it with that door. The holocron is inside the middle tube in this room. Green Bacta Tank (Health) 03) Giant Chasm When you get to the part where a short scene shows all the nice toasty holes that have been carved through the ship, stop. Just below your platform is a metal grating with the holocron on it. Drop down and get it, then jump back quickly, as the grating will fall. Blue Bacta Tank (Force Energy) 04) Engine Room Section 2 Continue to the room after you stop the spinny killy thing with grip. Once there, the holocron is between two of the spinny electric thigies to the left. Wait for them to pause, then collect the holocron. Experience 05) Battle Room Continue to the room with the large droid and the flames that periodically shoot up from the floor. Now get onto one of the catwalks and make your way toward the side nearer the giant spinny thing. Then jump-jump-dash your way to the holocron, which is on top of a pipe next to the spinny thing. Experience 06) Melted Tunnel After you beat the giant spider thing, continue into the melted hole it made. Once you exit the tunnel, the holocron is in the corner of this room. Saber Crystal: Wisdom =============================================================================== 09: The Battle for the Salvation [tbfts] =============================================================================== 01) First Battle Room In the very first room, keep fighting until some snipers appear up on the right-side catwalk. Once they do, head up there and the holocron will be in the pod they came in on. The pod is in the short hallway behind the snipers. Experience 02) Engine Room Section 2 Continue past the spinny thing in the engine room, and past the spinny elecric thing in this next section. Now destroy the red engine cores to the right, and the holocron will be behind them. If you drop down the second shaft, you've gone too far. Green Bacta Tank (Health) 03) Battle Exit Hall Continue to the battle room and kill everything. Once finished, the holocron is in the middle of the hallway exiting this room. Saber Crystal: Meditation 04) Shield Droid Hall Continue until you see a short scene with a shield droid entering though a pod. Once you kill it, you can find the holocron in the pod it came from. Saber Crystal: Incineration 05) Sniper Hall Continue until you reach a hall with snipers at the end. Take a left at the start of this hall and you'll see the holocron lazing about inside the middle tank. Blue Bacta Tank (Force Energy) 06) Elevator Shaft When you reach a broken elevator, lift it, and drop down. The holocron is behind you in a short hallway Experience 07) Large Cannon Room Once you're in the large cannon room, you can find the holocron in the corner on the other side of the cannon, in the air. You'll have to drag some stuff under it so you have enough height to jump to it. It may help to stack two of them, jump to them from the top of the cannon, then to the holocron. Saber Crystal: Healing =============================================================================== 10: The Return [retrn] =============================================================================== 01) Starting Area This holocron is on top of one of the junk piles in the starting area. There should be platforms on the piles, use those to get to it. Green Bacta Tank (Health) 02) Starting Area This one is in front of the windows that lead into the hallways. Use one of the junk piles and a jump-jump-dash to get to it. Experience 03) Third Overlook Room This holocron is up on the catwalk. To get there, jump on the pedastal in the back corner next to said catwalk. Blue Bacta Tank (Force Energy) 04) Catwalks After you meet Kota, continue until you fight two of the missle shooting walker things. On top of the structure behind them is the holocron. Jump on some piece of debris to get the height to reach it. Saber Crystal: Disintegration 05) Elevator Room Continue till you go down an elevator. Once down, the holocron is to your left, floating above the floor. Saber Crystal: Shock 06) Cloning Room Continue forward through the levels till you reach a cloning radial that is not moving. There are two of these sets that do not move. You want the second one. It is at the very end of the level.
