Uncharted 4 - Where to find all the Journal Entries

Our third collectible guide gives you all the locations where Nate will stop to write and sketch an entry in his Journal.

Our next collectible guide is for Uncharted 4's Journal Entries. These are similar to the Journal Notes, but instead of finding a note to keep in his diary, Nate will make a note about something he sees himself, perhaps adding a sketch and some notes to his notebook. Here's a list of where to find every one of the 25 Journal Entries, in the order that you will come across them in the game. If playing through the game for the first time, you might want to use our walkthrough (linked at the bottom of this page), which also includes the locations of all the entries.

Looking for more collectables? There are 109 Treasures, 23 Journal Notes, 25 Journal Entries and 36 Conversations.
