Multimedia Collectibles

The Oldest House is a treasure trove of information, and the Multimedia collectibles offer a unique glimpse into the FBC's operations, research, and the bizarre events that unfold within its walls. These collectibles come in various forms, including audio logs, video files, and radio broadcasts, each providing a piece of the larger, unsettling puzzle. Collecting them all not only enriches the lore but also contributes to your overall completion percentage.

General Strategies for Finding Multimedia

  • Explore Thoroughly: Many multimedia items are tucked away in less-traveled corners, behind destructible environments, or in offices that seem insignificant at first glance. Always take a moment to look around before moving on to the next objective.
  • Listen for Cues: Audio logs often emit a faint, static-like hum when you're nearby. Keep your ears open!
  • Check Desks and Shelves: A significant number of multimedia files, especially audio logs, are found on desks, shelves, and filing cabinets. Interact with anything that has a subtle glow or prompt.
  • Revisit Areas: As you gain new abilities (like Launch or Levitate), previously inaccessible areas may open up, revealing new collectibles.
  • Consult the Map: While the in-game map doesn't explicitly mark uncollected multimedia, it can help you identify areas you haven't fully explored.

Specific Multimedia Locations (Early Game Examples)

Here are a few examples of multimedia collectibles you can find early in your journey:

Executive Sector
  • Audio Log: "Director Faden's First Day"
    • Location: Director's Office, Executive Sector.
    • Walkthrough: After gaining access to the Director's Office during the "Directorial Override" mission, you'll find this audio log on the large desk in the center of the room, near the Hotline. It provides insight into Jesse's initial thoughts and the FBC's immediate aftermath of the Hiss invasion.
  • Video File: "FBC Orientation - Welcome to the Oldest House"
    • Location: Executive Sector, Central Executive.
    • Walkthrough: In the main Central Executive area, look for a small viewing room or a monitor bank. This video file is typically playing on a screen or can be activated from a console. It's usually found early on, providing a basic introduction to the FBC's purpose and the Oldest House.
Maintenance Sector
  • Audio Log: "Janitor's Assistant - Ahti's Advice"
    • Location: Janitor's Office, Maintenance Sector.
    • Walkthrough: During the "Welcome to the Oldest House" mission, you'll eventually reach Ahti's office. This audio log is usually found on a small table or shelf within his office. It offers some of Ahti's cryptic wisdom and observations.
  • Radio Broadcast: "Paranatural News - Black Rock Quarry Incident"
    • Location: Maintenance Sector, Access Corridor leading to Black Rock Quarry.
    • Walkthrough: As you progress towards the Black Rock Quarry, keep an eye out for a small radio on a crate or a workbench in one of the connecting corridors. Interacting with it will play a news report detailing an earlier incident at the quarry, hinting at its volatile nature.

Remember, the Oldest House is constantly shifting. While these locations are generally consistent, slight variations might occur. Happy hunting, Director!
