Journals

The location where the note, Lily Everhart's Diary - 3 can be obtained, shown with the "Pick up" interaction prompt.

The Journals menu, showing unlocked and locked notes.

The Journals menu consists of notes: collectibles that expand upon the lore of the Palpagos Islands and its residents. There are thirty-nine notes obtainable in-game, and they can be found across the game world. Notes can be obtained by finding small pedestals in the world, atop which a digital tablet sits surrounded by a blue glow, and pressing the interact button when prompted to "Pick up". They do not have to be picked up in any specific order.

Notes can be read by navigating to the Journals sub-menu in Options. Notes that have not yet been obtained by the Player have a title of "??????". When reading, each note is accompanied by an image relating to the text in the note.

Note unlocks are limited to the one who interacts with it; obtaining one does not unlock it for all players in a Multiplayer server.

Lily Everhart

Lily Everhart has four readable notes.

She believes that humans and Pals used to, and are supposed to live in a "harmonious coexistence". Writing about the Free Pal Alliance, she describes their commandments and their involvement in hiring the PIDF to protect the Wildlife Sanctuaries surrounding the islands. She is suspicious of the fact that the FPA is able to generate large amounts of money only through raids on the Rayne Syndicate's camps.

Victor Ashford

Victor Ashford has three readable notes.

Victor's diary describes his experimentation on Pals and how he created Shadowbeak. It details the process of creating new species of Pals interestingly without breeding, but by using equipment for altering DNA sourced from "outside".

Victor has written the following notes:

1. Victor Ashford's Diary - 1
