Star Trek The Video Game Chapter 2 starts as soon as Kirk, Spock and T’Mar beam down to the planet known as New Vulcan.
Star Trek New Vulcan follows the events of the previous chapter in the video game released on April 23, 2013, but unlike Chapter 1, it is longer, and it includes more Star Trek Research Data Items.
Most of them can be acquired to complete the Research Data Sets belonging to this specific chapter; however, some of the hidden research items belong to the general sets that can be unlocked in the videogame.
The following guide reveals the locations of all Star Trek Chapter 2 Research Data items, through a series of hints and tips pointing to all collectibles, as well as a video guide, which shows how to get them.
Players and fans of the video game, should know that Chapter 2 is divided in two parts. The first part presents the events that take place on New Vulcan, while in the second part players will assume control over Enterprise in a fast paced space battle.
It is important to remember that the following Star Trek Chapter 2 Research Data items can be found while exploring New Vulcan, because in the second part of the second chapter, players won’t be able to find any collectables.
Additionally, players should locate the hidden Research Data in the same order as the one provided by the guide.
New Vulcan Research Data
Vulcan Planet – Vulcan Cactus Cluster
As soon as you are teleported on the planet, once you assume control over Spock/Kirk, turn left and scan a cactus.
It is the first Star Trek Chapter 2 Research Data you can find in the second mission. Remain in the area to find the next collectible.
Vulcan Planet – Vulcan Desert Grass
Next to the Vulcan Cactus Cluster you have scanned earlier, you should see some grass. Scan it to get the second Star Trek New Vulcan collectible, and then continue to follow T’Mar.
Vulcan Planet – Vulcan Avian Scavenger
When you reach the entrance to the Vulcan Laboratories, stop and look up. Above the entrance you should see at least one vulture, resting on the roof.
Make sure you scan it to get the third Research Data in Chapter 2, which allows you to complete the Flora and Fauna Set. Now enter the laboratories following T’Mar.
Vulcan Unfinished Tower – Vulcan Corpse
After you enter the Vulcan Laboratories, your team will separate. T’Mar remains behind, while Kirk and Spock continue to investigate the area.
After you activate the bridge, cross it, and you will have to go through another door. Behind it is a corpse on the ground. Scan it to retrieve the data and continue to move forward with your scanner activated.
Vulcan Unfinished Tower – Unknown Structural Damage
Once you collected the previous data research, move slowly and pay attention to the right wall, where you should see two corpses near a door. The one standing with its back against the wall has a hole above its head that must be scanned.
After you retrieve the data continue to move slowly paying attention to the left side of the same corridor.
Vulcan Unfinished Tower – Unknown Blood Sample
In the same area where you have found the Unknown Structural Damage, look to the left and you can see a crate. Behind it, on the floor is a blood sample that should also be scanned.
Now, move towards the next door and you will eventually be attacked by an Infected Vulcan.
Vulcan Unfinished Tower – Infected Vulcan
Immediately after you defeat the Infected Vulcan, scan the corpse to get the associated collectible, which is the first Star Trek Research Data needed to complete the Federation Enemies Set.
Upper Labs – Infected Vulcan
As you enter the Upper Labs, behind the first door you encounter two Infected Vulcans. Stun both of them, and scan one of the bodies.
Next, advance down the corridor and jump through the window on the right side. In the next room you should stop.
Upper Labs – Helios Device (3 of 3)
The next collectible can be found in the room you access through the broken window. On the other side of the said room, if you start your scanner you should see a part of the Helios Device, behind another window.
Scan it then proceed through the door to your right while facing the collectible, to enter Surok’s Lab.
Surok’s Lab – Helios Device (1 of 3)
Inside Surok’s Lab, stop and look around, to notice a large device in the middle of the room. Move left, around the device but towards your objective.
To your right, near the device is a console you should scan for the first Helios Device research data. Next, approach Surok and talk to him.
Surok’s Lab – Helios Device (2 of 3)
After the short discussion with Surok, investigate his location and scan the console near you, to get the final Helios Device part and complete the set. Continue to follow Surok who will take you to the next door.
Go through it and stop inside the next corridor.
Surok’s Lab – T’Mar’s Audio Log #3
The door from Surok’s Lab takes you to a corridor and to your left you should see a desk. Start your scanner and verify the area between the said desk and the right wall to find the next hidden Star Trek Research Data Item.
Surok’s Lab – Surok’s Audio Log #2
After you use the Power Cell to open a new door, move down the corridor and you will see another Infected Vulcan inside a room to the right.
Take out the Vulcan then check the left side of the room inside he was standing. Look for a door which allows you to enter another chamber after you hack it. Inside you should see some crates to your right and on them Surok’s Audio Log #2.
Retrace your steps and follow your objective marker until you reach some stairs.
Surok’s Lab – Vulcan Pulse Cannon
As you descend the stairs mentioned above, you will enter another room where you encounter your first armed opponent. Take him out but don’t forget to scan his weapon because the data is required to complete another general set of items.
Continue to advance until you reach the Helios Lab.
Helios Lab – Surok’s Audio Log #3
When you enter the Helios Lab (located behind the station where you learn how to refill your ammo), you should see that your path is blocked by a fire. While facing the fire, turn left and next to a desk is Surok’s Audio Log #3.
Pick it up and use the access hatch to enter a tunnel.
Helios Lab – Gorn Brute
The next Star Trek collectible can be found after you defeat the Gorn Brute. The Research Data can be collected by scanning the corpse of your defeated enemy.
Helios Lab – T’Mar’s Audio Log #4
The fight against the Gorn Brute opens another door you have to follow. Make sure that you search the desk on the left side of the next corridor to retrieve T’Mar’s Audio Log #4.
Helios Lab – Gorn Ravager, Gorn Initiate
After you enter the room where the Helios device is located, you will have to fight even more Gorn enemies. First clear the area, and then approach their corpses and scan one of their bodies and one of their weapons.
Proceed through the next turbolift which takes you to another hidden Data Research Item.
Helios Lab – Stun Grenade
Once you exit the turbolift you will see a corpse in front of you and next to it several grenades (notice the tutorial screen that appears).
Scan a grenade to retrieve the data, then pick them up and continue to follow the objective marker.
Lower Labs – Unknown Breaching Tool
In the next area you can see two scientists fighting the Gorn Initiates. Run towards the end of the corridor in front of you, and look behind the large crate on the right side to find an item similar to a cocoon.
Scan it then retrace your steps and help the scientists defeat their enemies.
Lower Labs – Unknown Assault Equipment
After you defeat the first group of Gorn Enemies, continue through the next door which leads to another chamber (notice the green Alert Sign on the wall in front of your). Kill the enemies you encounter, and then search the right side of the chamber to find the Unknown Assault Equipment they have used.
Now move forward and you will encounter the third group of enemies.
Lower Labs – T’Mar’s Audio Log #5
On the corridor where you defeat the Grons hiding behind the walls, you should see a door on the right side. Open it and on the table in front of you is T’Mar’s Audio Log #5.
Now retrace your steps back to the corridor with the blocked door.
Lower Labs – Unknown Hacking Tool
When you reach the door that must be opened by both characters; turn left and locate the ammo station. Next to it, on the wall is an alien structure attached to the wall. Scan it to retrieve the data.
Open the blocked door and you will reach a large chamber with electrified water.
Power Room – Surok’s Audio Log #4
In the area where you have to cross the electrified water, you must solve a puzzle. First use your scanner to raise the platforms, then jump on them, but make sure you stay on the left side of the main generator.
Jump from one platform to another to stay above the water. On the left side of the Power Room is a hidden chamber and inside is another audio log belonging to Surok. It is located near the chair, on the ground. Pick it up, then cross the room and deactivate the energy to help your partner.
Power Room – T’Mar’s Audio Log #6
After you escape the previous chamber you will enter a corridor and you have to unlock the next door, using a power cell. Jump on the crate in front of you and ask your partner to boost you up, to reach the tunnel in the ceiling.
The tunnel leads to a room where you can find the power cell as well as T’Mar’s Audio Log #6. Take the collectible then use the power cell to exit the Power Room area.
Medbay – Surok’s Audio Log #5
The next Star Trek Research Item can be found later in the second chapter, after you reach the Medbay helped by your partner. Once you are able to walk, while standing near the bed, facing the exit door, turn right and look for another bed behind some consoles.
On it is the final Star Trek Audio Log in Chapter 2.
Great Hall – T’Par Memorial, Sh’Tok Memorial
The final Star Trek Research Data Items are close to each other and both of them are in the Great Hall. When you fight your way out, immediately when you exit the corridor from the Medbay, you should see a large structure similar to an obelisk. While standing in front of it, you can see that the said obelisk has a smaller and round structure in the middle.
Scan it, then go downstairs and near the same obelisk is another small structure that must be scanned. It is Sh’Tok’s Memorial and the final Star Trek New Vulcan Research Item.
After you get all collectables in the chapter, you have to escape the planet in order to start the second part of the chapter which allows you to unlock Star Trek 2013 Chapter 3.
