In the immersive world of Arc Raiders, players are tasked with a compelling quest to locate Celeste’s Journals, entrusted to them by the leader of Speranza. This mission takes adventurers to the Dam Battlegrounds, where they must recover two of Celeste’s cherished diaries, remnants of the original Arc War. The first journal is relatively straightforward to find, while the second presents a more challenging endeavor, requiring players to rely on a brief description for guidance.
Given the requirement to extract both journals in a single run, it is advisable to equip a free loadout. After all, a safe pocket may not serve much purpose when only one item can be extracted at a time—unless, of course, one is willing to take a chance with an augment that offers multiple safe pockets.

The first journal is conveniently located at the South Swamp Outpost, situated in the western part of Dam Battlegrounds, just southwest of the Hydroponic Dome Complex and north of the Water Towers. Upon arrival, players should enter the cylindrical main building of the outpost and proceed to the small entrance room adjacent to it. Here, a yellow-marked bed awaits, indicating where players can “Search for journals.” A quick search will yield Celeste’s first journal.

The second journal, however, requires a bit more effort to retrieve. Found at Raider Outpost East, this location is in the northeastern corner of the map, just east of the Power Generation Complex and Generator Hall. Although this outpost is smaller, it mirrors the structure of the South Swamp Outpost, with the journal located in a similar spot.
Upon entering the outpost, players should glance to their left to find another yellow-marked bed, where they can once again search for journals. Collecting the second journal will complete the quest, but players should be mindful of their exit strategy. The nearby Generator Hall exfiltration point is a viable option, though it can be perilous due to the presence of other Raiders and a patrolling Rocketeer. Timing is crucial as players make their way back to Celeste in Speranza, journals in hand.
