All Journal Locations in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

There are 49 journals in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and players who want to earn the Follow the Trail achievement must find them all. This is no small undertaking, though, as many of the journals are quite well hidden. Indeed, it can be very difficult to track down all the journals in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and players may want to use the locations detailed in this guide to find some of them.

Players will need to have access to all of Esquie’s abilities before they are able to collect every journal.

This guide details abilities players will unlock, and locations that they will visit, as they work to complete the game.
