Celeste's Journals
Okay, so this is awkward... I lost two of my journals during some outpost inspections last time I went topside. Could you head out there and try to find them back before someone else stumbles on them?
Key Takeaways
- Given by Celeste and takes place in Dam Battlegrounds.
- Includes 3 objectives focused on delivery.
- Rewards 3 items upon completion.
- Part of a multi-step quest chain from Celeste. Both a prerequisite quest and follow-up quests exist.
Objectives
All objectives carry over between raids. You do not need to complete everything in a single run.
Walkthrough Tips
Delivery objectives require you to carry items to a destination. Dying while carrying quest items won't lose them permanently, but you'll need to retrieve them from the quest giver again.
This quest is part of a chain. Completing the previous quest(s) in the series is required before this one becomes available from the trader.
Recommended Loadout
Healing Items (Bandages or Medkits)
Delivery runs mean traveling across the map while carrying quest items. Healing supplies keep you alive during the long trek without needing to divert for supplies.
Smoke Grenades
Smoke grenades provide cover when crossing open ground or when you need to disengage from an unexpected fight near an objective.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.

Map: Dam Battlegrounds
A massive hydroelectric dam complex and surrounding military installations. The dam structure itself creates dramatic elevation differences, with control rooms, staff areas, and maintenance tunnels providing interior objectives. ARC concentration is high, and the open dam top is a kill zone.
Stick to interior routes when possible. The dam top offers no cover from aerial threats. Staff rooms and control towers often require keys, so check surrounding areas for key spawns before heading to locked objectives.
