Exegol Map

Lore & Background

To ensure their return remained secret, they created wayfinders capable of navigating the unique hyperspace routes leading there. One such device was entrusted to Ochi, a Sith assassin tasked with finding young Rey on Jakku after her parents hid her there. When Ochi failed to kill Rey and instead killed her parents, he took the wayfinder back to Pasaana, where he died. The artifact remained hidden in his ship until a year after the Battle of Crait, when Kylo Ren obtained it through a Force bond with Rey. This connection allowed Ren to travel directly to Exegol, revealing himself as the power behind Snoke and the First Order, while Palpatine unveiled an armada of Star Destroyers known as the Final Order.

In Their Own Story

Rey, Poe, Finn, Chewbacca, BB-8, and C-3PO departed in the Millennium Falcon to Pasaana, where a clue to the wayfinder was hidden. With Lando Calrissian's help, they found a dagger inscribed with Sith text that could not be translated by C-3PO due to his programming, along with the remains of Ochi and his ship. Rey sensed Kylo Ren nearby and confronted him while the First Order captured the Falcon, Chewbacca, and the dagger. Believing Chewbacca was dead after Rey accidentally destroyed a transport with Force lightning, the group departed on Ochi's ship. They traveled to Kijimi, where droidsmith Babu Frik extracted the wayfinder's coordinates from C-3PO's memory. Later, following these coordinates to a moon in the Endor system, Rey located the actual wayfinder in the wreckage of the second Death Star. Ren destroyed this device during their duel, but Rey later used the one from Ben Solo's ship to navigate to Exegol.

Reader's Guide

To locate Exegol, one must first acquire a Sith wayfinder containing its coordinates. The journey begins on Pasaana, where the initial clue—a dagger inscribed with Sith text—is found in Ochi's remains. Since C-3PO cannot translate this due to programming restrictions, the data must be extracted from his memory by a skilled droidsmith like Babu Frik on Kijimi. Once coordinates are obtained, travelers can follow them to a moon in the Endor system, where the physical wayfinder is hidden within the wreckage of the second Death Star. If this device is destroyed, as happened when Kylo Ren defeated Rey in a duel, an alternative path exists: using the wayfinder previously held by Ben Solo. With either artifact, pilots can navigate the treacherous hyperspace anomalies shielding Exegol, bypassing natural defense grids to reach the planet where Palpatine's Final Order awaits.

Did You Know?

• Kylo Ren obtained a Sith wayfinder that led him directly to the hidden planet Exegol, where he discovered Palpatine was alive and revealed as the power behind Snoke.
• The dagger inscribed with Sith text found on Pasaana could not be translated by C-3PO due to his programming restrictions, requiring data extraction from his memory by Babu Frik.
• Rey located a wayfinder in the wreckage of the second Death Star on a moon in the Endor system, but Kylo Ren destroyed it during their duel before she could use it.
• Palpatine's Final Order fleet at Exegol was revealed to Kylo Ren only after he used the wayfinder to reach the hidden planet.
• After destroying the Death Star wayfinder, Rey used the one from Ben Solo's TIE fighter to navigate to Exegol and confront Palpatine.
