Additional Tips for Finding All Lore Documents
- Thoroughly explore every room, especially desks, walls, barrels, and countertops.
- Many documents are pinned or lying in plain sight but easy to walk past.
- Progressing the main story often opens new areas that contain previously inaccessible documents.
- Connecting related evidence on the Investigation Board can sometimes highlight or reward related lore.
- The final Lore Document in several sections is often found in or near a save room.
Collecting all Lore Documents is required for the related completion trophy/achievement. If a specific document is still missing, revisit earlier areas after unlocking new tools (keys, Leyden Jars, masks, etc.).
