Alien Isolation Archive logs location guide

Mission 15 - The Message

131 Feeling Lucky

The Anesidora Upper Decks: When heading through the initial corridors to bring the systems back online, play the recording sat on the side to the right.

132 Signal Detected / 133 Approaching Sevastopol / 134 Technician’s Report

The Anesidora Upper Decks: Found on the terminal you need to access to get the door code - 4510.

135 Sevastopol / 136 Anesidora Hail

The Anesidora Upper Decks: In the area with the facehugger you enter when looking for Marlow, check the terminal to the rear on your left.

Mission 16 - Transmission

Note that collecting the following logs requires backtracking across various areas of the game, and this mission is the best time to do it.

072 Removal Of Transit

Lorenz Systech Spire Upper Level: Exiting the main Lobby and going down the stairs to the south of it, turn right at the bottom then go into the right hand corridor and use your Ion Torch to remove the panel. Go through the vents into the locked room next to it then access the terminal.

066 Cutting Ties

Sevastopol Scimed Tower Transit Station: Use the handle to exit the locked room you just entered, then turn right to the transit station and travel to Scimed Tower. When you arrive in the area, turn right and go up the stairs, then right at the top and through the door by the counter. Follow the corridor round to the right until you reach a locked door, hack it with the Security Tuner then listen to the recording inside the room.

041 Prep The Patients

Head to the west end of Scimed Tower and take the lift to San Cristobal Medical. Go west then north on the Primary Care Floor until you reach the lift to the Crisis Stabilization Unit.

San Cristobal Medical Facility Crisis Stabilization Unit: Head west and work your way anticlockwise to the centre of the looping corridor, then use the Security Tuner to hack the door and enter the rooms beyond to listen to a recording.

146 Goodbye

Travel to Sevastopol Spaceflight Terminal - this can be accessed through Solomons Habitation Tower via transit, then going from the Lower to Upper Galleria Concourse and heading to the Spaceflight Terminal at the west end of the map.

Sevastopol Spaceflight Terminal Arrivals and Departures: In the Spaceflight Terminal, turn right then head down the corridor towards baggage claim, then loop round to the left and find the locked door. Open it with your Ion Torch then play the recording on the desk.

Once you’ve finished all of your collectibles backtracking, it’s easiest to Load Mission Save for Mission 16 and continue from that point.

137 Journal Entry # 340

Seegson Communications Monitoring Rooms: When you reach the early corridor with a flaming android, use the Ion Torch to remove the panel on the left then crawl through the vents to the next room and play the recording on the crate.

151 Torrens Co-ordinates

This is added automatically during the course of the mission.

Mission 17 - Desolation

138 Code For Repair Job / 139 Tomorrow, Together #4 / 140 Bet On The Wrong Horse

Solomons Habitation Tower Habitation Decks: At the start of the mission, turn left and use your Ion Torch to unlock the door on the far left, then access the terminal in the room beyond. This will give you code 1851 for the locked door nearby.

141 Nowhere To Run

Solomons Habitation Tower Habitation Decks: After restoring power and accessing the Transit Control room (watch out for a Facehugger here), listen to the recording on the side.

143 Shut Out / 144 Last Stand

Lorenz Systech Spire Upper Transit: After exiting the damaged lift and being directed to find an alternative route, follow the corridor to the large dining area with several fires and access the terminal on the opposite side to where you enter.

142 Sealed In

145 Blood On My Hands

Lorenz Systech Spire Upper Transit: After restarting the generator and entering the Living Area south of the Rec Room, play the recording on the bed in the side room before using the vent.

Mission 18 - Tomorrow, Together

147 Stability Alert

Station Maintenance Lower Deck: When you reach the Tow Platform Dock Control and are tasked with activating the systems, head down the short stairs between the two objective markers on your map and access the terminal - you can collect this when you extend the docking clamps.

148 Sevastopol Initialization

Station Maintenance Upper Deck: After you climb the stairs and enter the Upper Deck, go straight ahead and access the terminal in the centre of the console - this is also where you extend the maintenance rig.

Congratulations, you should now have found every one of the Alien: Isolation Archive logs!
