Journal Entries are collectibles in Uncharted 4. Finding them will help you piece together bits of the story.
▼Article Continues Below▼
There are diary pages, letters, maps and audio recordings you can collect. If you get them all, you’ll unlock the Lost Art of Journaling trophy. The first one shows up in Chapter 8 so you will spend some time in the game before you start seeing them. They are a bit different than other collectibles in Uncharted 4 because to actually complete one journal entry you have to collect several pieces of the entry throughout the level. These can be obtained automatically, by completing a certain part of the story or you have to interact with the environment at a certain point. In this guide, we’re going to show you all journal locations in Uncharted 4.
Chapter 8 Journal Entries
You’ll get the first journal entry automatically when you enter Saint Dismas dormitory (graveyard)
Look for a dug up grave to get the second journal entry (it is in the general graveyard area and easily spotted)
The third is unlocked when you find the puzzle and interact with it for the first time.
Solve the puzzle to get the next one.
Once you exit the graveyard area, you will see the cave in the distance. Use L3 to look at it and this will unlock another entrty.
The last one is found in a cave and you will certainly get it because it is triggered on your way to the exit.
Chapter 9 Journal Entry – Those Who Prove Worthy
Interact with the cage with a skeleton in it.
Once you get to the rotating puzzle you will get this entry.
After you complete the puzzle, make sure you don’t go out right away. Instead, interact with the switch once again to get the journal entry.
Chapter 10 Journal Entries – The Twelve Towers
When you first use the winch to get the jeep up a slippery hill go into the ruin right next to the tree. The entry is collected when you interact with the sign on the floor.
When you first come across Nadine’s mercenaries, blow up a wooden door with dynamite. The room inside has a sign on the floor that is the journal entry.
You’ll notice this signal tower perching above the landscape. There are two optional conversations and a treasure to be found here.
Continue down the road from the previous signal tower and you’ll find a broken one (you have to climb it to get a crate over a zipline there). The journal is unlocked by interacting with a sign on the floor.
Chapter 12 At Sea Journal Entries
At the start of the chapter, head to the large island to your left. Examine the wooden cross for the entry.
On the first objective island with the man made tower examine the dead body near the beach.
Find the small island with the wrecked ship for this journal entry.
Journal Entries Chapter 13 – Marooned
Once you find your way inside the cave, behind the waterfall, find the drawings on a cave wall.
The second journal entry is hard to miss as you have to pick up the piton tool that holds the body. The body is the journal entry.
Chapter 14 – Join Me in Paradise Journal Entries
As soon as you start the chapter and head to the settlement, Nathan will take the journal automatically.
Investigate the animal’s corpse inside the barn.
Check the writings on the stone plaque.
Examine the drawings behind the captain’s statue.
Interact with Sam as a part of the optional conversation to get the journal entry. Definitely one of Nathan’s most beautiful drawings right here!
Gained automatically near the end of the chapter, in the mansion atrium.
Chapter 15 – The Thieves of Libertalia Journal Entries
After the conversation with Sam, you’ll both look up and notice the drawings on the ceiling for the journal entry log.
As you leave the main room and climb the tall tower, you’ll gain the second entry as well.
Journal Entries in Chapter 17 – For Better or Worse
Once you reach the point where you have to get the car into the elevator, pay attention to the mechanism that moves the system.
In the part of the chapter where you are left without a car, look to the broken bridge in the distance.
Chapter 18 Journal Entries – New Devon
You and Elena will fall into the wate from the ruined rooftop. The next house you enter will have a large vase you should investigate for the journal entry.
Check out the middle of the pirate’s table.
We will update this guide with all Journal Entry locations in Uncharted 4 as we progress through the game further
