Darth Hater

The in-game Codex entries are a novel and interesting way to gain a fair amount of experience for a character, as well as to learn a great deal more about the worlds, people, creatures and places in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Beginning this week, DarthHater will be offering a deeper, planet-by-planet look into the Codex series to provide current guides for unlocking each of the codices within SWTOR. We begin on Tython, the most recent Jedi homeworld and a planet with a rich and rather complicated history as it pertains to the Force. Next time we’ll take a closer look at Korriban, home of the Sith Empire and a trove of many entries concerning the darker aspects of the Force. Read on after the jump for a complete walkthrough.

If anyone has figured out how to unlock these, please post in the comments detailing how you did so! DarthHater will be sure to update the guide as soon as the information becomes available. Otherwise, they’ll hopefully be removed from the Codex requirements for Tython by BioWare, or fixed so that they can be finally unlocked.
