General File Hunting Tips

  • Thorough Exploration: Always check every nook, cranny, shelf, and table. Files are often placed in seemingly innocuous locations.
  • Interact with Everything: Many files are found on objects you need to interact with, like books on shelves or papers on desks.
  • Listen for Cues: Sometimes, a subtle sound or visual cue might indicate a hidden item nearby.
  • Revisit Areas: As you progress, new areas may become accessible, or previously visited areas might contain new files after certain story beats.
  • Use Your Map: While the map doesn't explicitly mark files, it can help you keep track of explored and unexplored rooms.
  • Check After Major Events: After defeating a Lord or completing a major objective, often new files will appear in previously cleared areas.
