'Celeste's Journals' quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders

The "Celeste's Journals" quest in Arc Raiders has you searching for two journals on Dam Battlegrounds, but there are two catches: they're at opposite ends of the map from one another and you must extract with both of them in the same topside visit. Even if you manage to stash one in your safe pocket then return later for the second, it won't count.

This can be one of the more frustrating quests in Arc Raiders if you get unlucky, either in the form of too many Arc enemies or other players hellbent on engaging in PvP, because traipsing across the entirety of Dam Battlegrounds isn't recommended at the best of times. Here's where you need to go to find both of Celeste's journals and the best routes to take in Arc Raiders.

'Celeste's Journals' quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders

Since you need to extract with two of Celeste's journals and bring them back to Speranza, we'd highly recommend running an augment with two safe pockets. This way, once you find them both, you can stuff them in your safe pocket and keep them even if you die. If you don't have any augments with two safe pockets available, then run a free loadout because only getting one back to Speranza doesn't serve any purpose.

Where to find Celeste's journal at the South Swamp Outpost

You can pick up the journals in any order, but from our experience, Dam Battlegrounds has more spawn locations in the southern part of the map, so you're more likely to be closer to the South Swamp Outpost first.

The area you're looking for is inside the main dome in this area of the swamp, directly above the "S" in "Swamp" on the map. You'll find two beds, one of which has the journal, in the smaller adjoining room to the main building. Pick it up, then you'll want to head north.

Where to find Celeste's journal at the northern outpost overlooking the Red Lakes

This one's a little trickier to find because the northern outpost isn't a marked location on the map. Instead, you're looking for Raider Outpost East. This is directly north of the Red Lakes, north-east of the Power Generation Complex, which you should also pay a quick visit to if you can to try and grab a power rod.

To get here from the South Swamp Outpost, we'd recommend going directly north then heading east at the West Broken Bridge, because there's much more cover, as opposed to going directly through the middle of the map which is likely laden with Arc enemies, or across the Red Lakes which is incredibly open.

It's a similar structure to the one at the South Swamp Outpost, so head inside and look for the same area, although this bed will be against the wall by itself. Pick up the journal then hightail it out of there, either to the raider hatch to the south if you brought a key, or the lift to the west if you didn't.
