You will most likely get this achievement while going through the game looking for all the other collectibles, but in case you are missing a few, here is a list you can use to cross reference with your notes. I personally got this achievement without actually trying for it, as nearly all of the notes are in obvious places. So If your missing one from a certain chapter it's very likely that you'll find it on another run through the level. If you find yourself stuck you may refer to this great guide by
Cra of x360a for specific locations. All credit for the creation of the guide. goes to him of course, I'm just posting for those who use this site for their solution needs. Original post by
Cra can be found on the link.
