How to unlock the One for the Books achievement in OUTRIDERS - Definitive Guide

Completing the game, sidequests and a few expeditions should get you most of the way there. Once you're ready to clean up, use this interactive map to find the last few you need: https://mapgenie.io/outriders/maps/world.

I would save this achievement til the end to minimize grind. There are 329 total pages so there’s plenty of wiggle room.

Can confirm that on my playthrough doing all side quests before finishing the campaign (and picking up all journals on the floor that I noticed), I was at 296/300. I believe that each expedition gives a journal plus some of the new boss enemies in them do too. No need to specifically grind for this one it seems!

Am I the only one that is bothered that my character made in the demo, didn't get the automatic entry for S.M. Flores leaving me one entry short of a complete journal? No? Just me? Ok lol.

The game is showing there are 339 pages, not 329. I have -

Characters 59/59
Enemies 72/89
Enoch 44/44
History & Lore 73/81
Misc 60/66

Total 308/339

But for whatever reason, the accolades section is showing I have 299/339 and thus the achievement hadn't popped yet.

As far as I can tell it doesn't include the pages you start with, only those you actually find.

Quick advice: If you have collected most journals and are not getting the unlock, while in the journal screen hold y to mark all as read. This may fix the glitch that does not credit some found journals as counting in your found total.

For me, I was stuck at credit for 270 journals though I had completed the game and was only missing 10 total entries. I started a new character and in that account marked all journals as read so I could keep track of any new ones found that I missed. After marking all as read the notification popped for multiple journals found and the achievement popped right after. Hopefully this will fix anyone else with the same glitch. Please post in the comments if this trick works for you. It is possible the glitch will get fixed in a future update.

There are a total of 339 journal pages in the game. You will automatically unlock at least 250 journal pages during the story and all side-quests, so you'll need to pick up at least 50 of these when going through the missions. Ones that must be collected will have the same blue glow as ore deposits, and will also have pages floating up into the air like embers on a fire. These are not very hidden; so long as you explore the edges of all the mission areas, you'll find enough.

There are a grand total of 339 journal pages to collect in the game but you luckily will only need 300 for this trophy, giving you some room to miss a few here and there. The majority of these will be picked up automatically through general story progression and completing the side quests for Squaretasking trophy_gold.png. 92 can be picked up in the open world and the rest will be from the Expeditions. Below is a list of all the pages you'll pick up in the open world. They'll for the most part be pretty straightforward to find based on the map but if they're a little bit more hidden, an image will be provided so you can narrow it down. They will appear in-game as pieces of paper that are floating and glowing blue. 

Rift Town (11):

  • 1: Hounds Note - On a box down the 1st set of stairs, just behind two guys looking down over the railing.
  • 2: Flores Flight Reports - Just next to a canister-like object inside the main "shop" area.
  • 3: The Landing: Just to the left of the door you exit to leave the Camp area.
  • 4: Textile Manufacturing - To the left of the door you exit to leave the Camp area, on some shelves on the far side of the room. 
  • 5: The relocation - Just to the left of the Weapons dealer in the shop area.
  • 6: Shira's Journal: Downstairs from Shira's Office (go past her office).
  • 7: Eva's Letter: In the "A Bad Day" Quest Area, it's inside a container just to the left of a door you need to unlock. There is an ammo box just to the right of it
  • 8: Barker's Journal - As soon as you finish the "A Bad Day" side quest, you'll be in Mr. Lopez's room. Before you leave, the page will be on a table. 
  • 9: Feeding the Colony - When you leave the camp, immediately to the left will be some stairs. At the top of the stairs is the page.
  • 10: The Coming End - Just after the first fast travel point, there will be an ammo box among some rubble from a building. Just behind the box is the page. 
  • 11: Reiner's Journal - On a crate in the room where you fight Reiner. 

The First City (18 - while the number ticker shows 18, there are only 17 locations. One of the bastards counts as 2 but there are multiple where you pick up 2 so as long as you pick up all "17", you'll get them all):

  • 1: Powering the Cryopods - When you first start in this area, you'll make your way up a grassy hill before entering a small town-like area. Before going inside, the page is going to be on a body in the grass, just the left of the "town" entrance.
  • 2: Solar Panels - After you cross the bridge and make your way up the large anomaly hill, you'll be an open area with some cement barricades where a handful of enemies will spawn. The page is just next to one of these barriers before you go through the next gate. It's by one of the sparky cylinders.  
  • 3: Formation of the Outriders - After the fast travel point you reach where the road splits up towards a Historian Side Quest item and left for story progression, take the left path and as you're going down the hill, the page will be on the right just next to a body.
  • 4: The Outriders Revamped: When you reach the area with the snipers and the gallows, just before you climb up and over the scaffolding the snipers are perched on, the page will be inside a building with some fenced up windows.
  • 5: Landmark: Radio Tower - Shortly after the previous page, you'll have to make your way through a small building and back outside, then up a hill to the left. The page is at the top of the hill, next to a fence, between two metal structures. 
  • 6: Disbanded - When you reach the large tree with the bodies, the page will be on the ground just in front of it.
  • 7: Setting up the Colony - After the previous page, you'll come to an area where you have to fight through a few waves of Perforos (this is a decent location to go for Misfortune Loves Company trophy_bronze.png if you haven't earned it yet). Before breaking through the white rubble, go to the far left side of this area and just next to a red and white trailer, up on a metal walkway, will be the page.
  • 8: Anomaly Storm & The First Anomaly Storm - Just to the left of the breakable white barrier (same one as above), inside a container.
  • 9: Jane Colm's Journal - In the area where you have to lower the bridge after defeating a few waves of Perforos, go up the last hill on the right (just before the bridge) and at the top, underneath a scaffolding, will be the page in the grass. 
  • 10: The Storm's Aftermath: On the ground, just to the left of the box you have to interact with to lower the bridge.
  • 11: Exiles - Before you cross the bridge, climb up to the top of the tower just on the right side of the bridge to find the page.
  • 12: First Citizens - Keep progressing forward and you'll eventually get a sub-quest to activate the crane. From the valve you have to turn, go back down one set of stairs and at the far end of this raised walkway will be the page.
  • 13: Anna McKellan's Journal - This is picked up during the "No Place Like Home" side quest. When you reach the old man's home (and clear it), this page will be in the home with the word "THIEF" written on the side of it.
  • 14: Cryopods - Picked up during the "Endless Dark" side quest. It'll be inside the medical lab. 
  • 15: Transfer Order & Nathan Scurlock - Picked up during the "Endless Dark" side quest. It'll be inside the medical lab. 
  • 16: Mass Awakening - Picked up during the "Endless Dark" side quest. In the last outside/open area before you enter the lab with the Cryopods, the page will be on the ground just to the left of the entrance to the lab. 
  • 17: Report on the Fungus & ECA Research Report - Picked up during the "Endless Dark" side quest. It'll be inside the darkroom with the Cryopods at the end of the quest.

  • 3: A Foreign Agent - After progressing the story a little bit, you'll get a sub-quest to unlock a door. When you do, there will be a fast travel point just on the other side. To the right of the travel point, tucked away in a small hidden area, is a camp with a crate and the page next to it. 
  • 4: Locked In - Progress the story forward some more and you'll make your way through a handful of enemies before you reach a building on top of a hill. Go inside and the page will be sitting on a table. 
  • 5: Jocelyn Dunham's Journal - After you take the next lift down to a new area, you'll make your way through some enemies and eventually come to a building with a large solar panel in front of it.

  • 6: Tracing the Signal - Go inside the building the solar panel in front of it (to progress the story) and before you go out through the door on the other side, the page will be tucked in a corner to the left. 
  • 7-10: Alchemist's Log x4 - These will all be part of "The Scientific Method" side quest and will all be shown as quest markers on your map so you can't complete that quest without picking these up.

  • 1: Alastair Cullen's Journal - Inside your camp, on the opposite side to progress the story forward, tucked in the very back corner. 
  • 2: The Crisis - While still in your camp, before crossing the first bridge, go inside a container on the right and the page will be on the ground.

There will be a door you need to enter that takes you to "The Outpost".

  • 2: Victor Corrigan's Journal - When your crew has made camp, it'll be on the table just to the left of Channa.

  • 3: Ticket to the Flores - After you rescue August, you'll need to clear out another camp of enemies before you can progress forward. When they're all gone, you'll come to a fast travel point.

Before you do, to the right of the gate are some stairs and to the right of those is a building. Go inside and the page will be on a table on the right.

If you miss it on your first run through that quest, you'll need to pick it up again before the area will become available. Just interact with the decrepit body just in front of the doors leading to the Plaza.

The Caravel (4):

  • 1: Genocide - When you first enter the area, you'll follow some rails/tracks up a hill covered in sand. Near the top of the hill is a wooden fence. The page is just next to this.

There is absolutely no need to fumble around in corners to fill out your diary. Just go through the story and extras and it will fill up on its own. Well, sometimes along the way you will come across assembled parts.

There are a total of 339 entries in the game.

250 are collected automatically as the game progresses (150 during the story and 100 in additional tasks and expeditions a bit).
So you’ll have to find at least 50 on your own

If you didn’t get 3-5 diaries according to the plot, then expeditions will help. In any case, you need to kill 1000 enemies there. The diary page drops after the final boss in each expedition.

Strange affair. Collected 301 diaries. There are 345 of them in the game. But the trophy dropped only after completing the last mission, Let's Remember Yakub.
