Final Fantasy 13-2 holds a variety of minigames and one of the hardest games is Captain Cryptic's Confounding Quiz. We've put together this Captain Cryptic's Confounding Quiz Guide to help you get through his quiz and earn the best rewards possible, because his questions can be very confusing.

If you want to boost your stats in SWTOR you’ll need a Matrix Cube. They're made from Matrix Shards that can be obtained from Datacrons scattered across Star Wars: The Old Republic. One Matrix Shard won't do you much good, but if you find three in a set, you've got yourself the recipe for a Matrix Cube. If you need help finding Datacron in SWTOR, check out our Datacron Guide.

To make a Matrix Cube, you'll need to find an Assembler to put the items together. You'll find one on your faction's homeworld. The Republic's location is on Coruscant. Once there, head to the Lost Assembly Vault, west of the Jedi Temple. If you've pledged your allegiance to the Empire, you'll need to head to Dromund Kaas for the Ancient assembly chamber near the Dark Temple.

Matrix Cubes can be slotted into your character's Relic slot. These provide even more powerful stat boosts, but must be assembled in the correct order. The best Matrix Cube depends on your class and spec, and are also broken down by level tiers in terms of power, so reference the handy recipe guide below to figure out which one you'll make!

From flesh-consuming monsters to adorable droids, we know you want to eat up every morsel of information about every companion in Star Wars: The Old Republic. After all, it just wouldn't be a BioWare game without friends to gather along the way, and SWTOR is very much a BioWare game. That's why we've produced this handy companion guide, so you'll know who all The Old Republic companions are and what they can do for you.

• GUIDE: The Star Wars: The Old Republic Guide -- Your Guide To Our Guides

In SW:TOR, companions complement – and sometimes compliment! – your character's strengths and fill in the soft spots left by their weaknesses. They may seem extraneous at first, but try playing the game truly solo, sans companion, and you'll come to appreciate their incredibly useful implementation. They not only come in handy gameplay-wise, but also fill out the story experience by giving their thoughts, approval, and/or disapproval to your actions. Meaning, that's right... companion gifts!

Companions are also unique to each class, so our guide is broken down as such. Be sure to check below and find your class!

If you want to create atronach spells in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim you've come to the right place. Behold, our Skyrim Atronach Forge Guide.

Before we jump right into the recipes I wanted to explain the Atronach Forge. Underneath the College of Winterhold lies The Midden. The Midden can be reached by finding the trap door in the norther corner of the courtyard. The main feature of The Midden is the Atronach Forge and next to it you'll find Atronach Forge Manual which lists several atronach recipes. This forge allows gamers to transform ordinary items to grand items from beyond Oblivion.

The Atronach Forge has a lever and collecting box, where you'll place the ingredients. You can't choose which items you want to create, instead you can place the items required and hope for the best. Usually, the forge guesses right, but if it guesses wrong, then you're going to get an Atronach. Atronachs you create, or summon, will be aggressive, unlike their counterparts in Oblivion.

SWTOR's Legacy System has remained a mystery to most The Old Republic players. Even those who have completed Act 1. After a player completes their class quest they are prompted to choose a surname. This unique surname will be attached to the character you're playing, and every character you make on that server, effectively making a family tree. If you're on The Harbinger, sorry, Vortigaunt has been taken, by me. From that moment on you'll notice a Legacy bar under your XP bar. As this purple bar fills up you'll earn Legacy levels. But what are these levels earning players? We went to the source to find out. SWTOR game director James Ohlen was happy to answer our many questions on Star Wars: The Old Republic's Legacy system.

Legacy was intended to expand the aspects of the game MMO players thrive on. It's meant to add an extra level of gameplay to leveling up, perusing your class story and rolling another character. If you're a player who wants to focus on only one character, you won't reap the same rewards a player with multiple characters will get. In fact, Legacy System was designed for the players who have more than one character. Each of SWTOR's classes has a unique story and if you're a MMO fan, a Star Wars fan or a BioWare fan, chances are you'll want to explore more than one of these stories.

If you do decide to roll another character, he or she will be added your Legacy family tree. The idea of family was important to BioWare. Game director James Ohlen explained why Legacy is important to the entire Star Wars universe.

We've crafted this handy dandy datacron locations guide for the Republic and Empire alike, so you can find all datacrons in BioWare's epic Star Wars MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic. Never heard of datacrons? Read on to find out what they are, how you can find them, and why you'll want them.

SW:TOR takes place 300 years after the original Knights of the Old Republic, which introduced the concept of the Infinite Empire, a vast governing system ruled by the earliest known Force users, the Rakata. The Infinite Empire collapsed under mysterious circumstances, but it has left behind a wealth of treasure for eager adventurers. These are the datacrons.

• GUIDE: The Star Wars: The Old Republic Guide -- Your Guide To Our Guides

Datacrons increase your character's stats, making them invaluable to PvP players, while also easing the burdens of those who choose to solo. The exceptions are the Matrix Shards, which when combined will form a Matrix Cube, an item that can be slotted into your character's Relic slot. These provide even more powerful stat boosts, but must be assembled in correct order. All Matrix Shard combinations are explained in our SWTOR Matrix Cube Guide.

Also note that Corellia's, Ilum's and Voss' datacrons are currently missing or have not been discovered by our team of space-traveling badasses. There are also two ultra rare datacrons that increase all of your character's stats by 10. We'll update this guide as we find them!

So pack a lunch, player. Let's go planet-hopping in a galaxy far, far away to find every datacron location in The Old Republic!
