Uncharted 4 Journal Notes

How to find missing Journal Notes?: Journal Notes are in-game paper notes that belong in a journal and thus are often found on flat surfaces like desks. When you get near them a piece of paper icon will appear with the Triangle button icon above it indicating you should press the button to pick up the Journal Note.

Progress Tracking Tip: To see how many collectibles you have found in the chapters, you can keep track of your collectible progress in Chapter Select, where there’s a collectible counter for each chapter. Another place to track the missing/found Journal Notes is from the pause menu.

Important Note Tracking Correction: The in-game collectible tracker in chapter select says there are 2 Notes in “Chapter 20: No Escape” and 0 Notes in “Chapter 21: Brother’s Keeper”. But there’s actually only 1 Note in Chapter 20 and the 2nd Note is in Chapter 21.

Does the game save each Journal Note you collect?: Yes, the game will automatically save the Journal Notes you just collected if you picked up the Journal Note, so you don’t have to play to the end of the chapter or even the next checkpoint. After picking up each collectible you can safely quit the chapter without losing collectibles progress, which carries over to the next campaign playthrough meaning you can get missing collectibles via chapter select at any time.
