Outlast 2 All Documents/Recordings WRITTEN GUIDE (No Video)
By Denshire
There's a lot of guides on here for getting every document in the game, but I cannot for the life of me find one that isn't in video format, and I personally find it easier to follow a text guide. So, I've taken it upon myself to put one together. Enjoy.

DOCUMENTS/RECORDINGS (0-26)
001 and 002 (The Jane Doe Story)- These are made automatically at the start of the game, they are quite literally unmissable.



003 (The Wreckage) - This one shows up in a tutorial of the recording mechanic so it's also quite hard to miss. Once you get down from the ledge you wake up on after the helicopter crash, record the wreckage.

014 (New Gospels, Part 1) - Inside the compound, once you enter and open the door on your right, this document will be on a pedestal in that room.

Yeah, there's two recordings that were added after game launch, IIRC 010 and 099. There's quite a few older guides that don't include them.

I had the same issue as LXT - thanks for the actual guide!
LXT 20 Apr @ 6:51pm 
I’m upset I didn’t find this before. I had to use a PS5 trophy guide which had 2 missing recordings.

That's a lot of collectibles compared to the first game, but it will be useful if you can put an image for each location for better guidance, please.
