Waaah, steam guide is incomplete and grim dawn wiki lists notes and their content, but not exact location! Help, it is all about the damn notes! Anyone has a page listing all of their locations and ways to get them? I miss many from act 1 even though i am freshly finished with it, like all 4 of Hargate's Journal, the Muddy note, Abby's and Nora's note and all random ones (but for the last bunch, i read that i must proceed to act 2 and then return to 1)!

Please help a bro??? I need ALL those little notes! Damn!

One thing I noticed is that some notes would show up randomly, such that on Elite and Ultimate I found I think all the missing notes.

Also, at least one note I remember required doing the area twice (the Sunken Reliquary: you had to hit the lectern in two different instances to get both notes).

So, I suspect you'll find some of the missing ones on your second go-through. :)

Thanks! Too bad random notes have to be farmed and they are not guaranteed to drop from a bookcase, either...

I think Hargate's journals only show up as part of the Devil's Crossing faction quest that sends you to his island laboratory. His lab and the journals are inaccessible until you get that quest.
