Firaxis’ surprise Marvel game, Midnight Suns, has been extremely well-received by fans, including the introduction of its protagonist superhero, The Hunter. Given Marvel’s global following, a new hero like this usually comes under the spotlight, but it’s good to know that everyone’s feedback has been quite positive so far.
That said, The Hunter’s entire backstory isn’t precisely revealed from the start. You’ll need to complete the game’s main story to piece all the details together, and this includes collecting The Hunter’s Faded Journal Pages that are now found lying around all over the Abbey Grounds. Finding all 12 Journal Pages can be quite a chore, especially in their correct order. If you need a helping hand, here are the exact locations of each of them in the game.
Page #1: April 3rd, 1703
The first page is the easiest to spot. At the Abbey, inside your bedroom, the page dated April 3rd, 1703 is found on one of the nightstands beside your bed.
Page #4: July 15th, 1710
Make your way to Agatha’s Altar (also called the Elemental Altar). Just in front of the altar’s stairs, go to the left, and proceed to walk up the small steps instead. Upon reaching a blue-flamed standing torch, immediately turn right to reach a clearing with a destroyed archway. The Journal Page dated July 15th, 1710 is slightly hidden behind a small, runic stone slab.
Journal Pages Locked Behind Word Of Power, “Open”
These pages are only accessible after you’ve learned the Word of Power, “Open”, by beating the Trial of the Elder Gods: Oshtur.
Page #2: February 20th, 1708
Open the path to Dreamer’s Descent using your Word of Power, “Open”. Walk down the small slope, and then head straight toward the green-flamed torches standing in front of an archway. Just before reaching the torches and archway, immediately turn right and move uphill toward a small area littered with abandoned junk and a wheelbarrow. The Journal Page dated February 20th, 1708 can be found lying on top of a box.
Page #3: June 26th, 1710
Access Stone Terrace by going through Dreamer’s Descent, unlocking the respective locked door using your Word of Power. Once there, follow the path toward the Standing Stones, and stand in front of the steep steps. Instead of climbing the stairs, go right until you reach a small fork, signified by a red-flamed torch on your left, and a blue-flamed one on your right. Take the right path, and continue forward till you reach the remains of a destroyed building. Enter it, and the Journal Page dated June 26th, 1710 is obtainable from the wooden floor planks on your left.
Page #11: September 8th, 1712
From the entrance of Stone Terrace, walk along the main path. Take the first left turn that leads you away from the Standing Stones and toward an open clearing. Follow it until you reach a small fork, opting for the left path as well. You’ll see a discarded barrel and wooden planks nearby, with a Journal Page dated September 8th, 1712 placed on top of a box.
Page #12: November 3rd, 1712
Fast-travel to Dreamer’s Descent. Once there, move toward the stone archway, but immediately turn left before reaching it. The next page dated November 3rd, 1712 can be seen lying on the ground.
Journal Pages Locked Behind Word Of Power, “Reveal”
By acquiring the Word of Power, “Reveal”, after beating the Trial of the Elder Gods: Atum, you are now able to unmask hidden structures that hinder your progress at specific locations in the Abbey Grounds.
Page #8: March 20th, 1711
Use the Word of Power, “Reveal”, to repair the large bridge found at the end of the Valley of the Winds, past Hiram Shaw’s Church. Once done, cross it, and follow the main path until you reach a 3-way junction. Take the right route, and go down the slope until you reach another long bridge, signifying you’ve arrived at the Everflowing Glade. Facing the aforementioned bridge, explore the small area on your left to find the Journal Page dated March 20th, 1711.
Page #9: December 15th, 1711
Inside the Valley of the Winds, make your way to Hiram Shaw’s Church located close to the huge bridge at the end of the valley. Once inside the Church, go straight toward the room at the back, marked by a big, green sigil. Inside the room, walk to your left, and you’ll find the Journal Page dated December 15th, 1711 nearby a wheelbarrow and some logs.
Journal Pages Locked Behind Word Of Power, “Purify”
Some areas are blocked by overgrown plant life, so you need to master the Word of Power, “Purify”, to clear paths. Complete the Trial of the Elder Gods: Hyppus to acquire it, allowing you to resume your find for other Faded Journal Pages.
Page #5: August 14th, 1710
After acquiring the Word of Power, “Purify”, use it to clear the overgrowths blocking the path to the Garden of Envy. Find the cemetery that has a rare (blue) Arcane Chest in it, located at the main road at the entrance of Garden of Envy. Use the cemetery as your starting point, and then follow the straight path laid out in front of it, stopping at the second junction afterward. Take the right route once there, and the Journal Page for August 14th, 1710 can then be found beside a wooden barrel, in front of a cave entrance.
Journal Pages Locked Behind Word Of Power, “Break”
Only after beating the Trial of the Elder Gods: Set, can you finally explore the Abbey Grounds in its entirety. Use the Word of Power, “Break”, to destroy obstacles along your path, letting you search for the few remaining Journal Pages with ease.
Page #6: August 18th, 1710
The Journal Page dated August 8th, 1710 is found inside the Misty Moors, approximately halfway along the main road. You need to use the Word of Power, “Break”, to destroy the primary doors blocking your entry into Misty Moors, one located close to the Garden of Envy checkpoint, and the other nearby the Abbey. Regardless of which entry you come from, follow the main path until you’re midway through, and then move toward the bushes (on your left if you come from the Abbey, and on your right if from Garden of Envy). You’ll find the Journal Page left on the ground.
Page #7: September 23rd, 1710
Starting from the cemetery at the Garden of Envy, follow the main, central path. Don’t take any branching turns, and you’ll eventually reach a pile of boulders blocking the road. Use the Word of Power, “Break”, to clear them out, and then continue your way to the end, walking underneath a bridge/ overpass as well. Green torches will light the way. Close to the end, you’ll find the Journal Page dated September 23rd, 1710 lying on a nearby rock on your left.
Page #10: July 13th, 1712
Fast-travel to Gideon’s Cross, or make your way there from Dreamer’s Descent, using Word of Power, “Break”, to destroy the door barring entry into the area. Once inside, follow the primary path until you find the Journal Page dated Jul 13th, 1712 on a pedestal between two pillars, on your left.
