The "Celeste's Journals" quest in ARC Raiders is a mission from Celeste that can be a little annoying if you don't know where to look. Basically, you have to run across the map, grab two different journals, and extract safely—all in one single raid. If you die with only one, you gotta start over, which sucks. In this guide, we will show you exactly where to find them so you can get it done fast.

Here is the quick breakdown of the mission:
Quest Name: Celeste's Journals
Quest Giver: Celeste
Objective: Retrieve 2 Journals and extract
Recommended Map: Dam Battlegrounds
Locations: South Swamp Outpost & Eastern Raider Outpost (Northern Outpost)
Rewards: Magnetic Accelerator, x3 Heavy Gun Parts, Exodus Modules
Extraction Needed: Yes, absolutely.
Before you load in, you should think about your gear. Since you have to run a lot between the two outposts, bringing some Adrenaline is a really good idea. Also, if you have an outfit or amplifier with Safe Pockets, use it! That way, if you find a journal and die, you might keep it (though usually, you need both in one go, so just try not to die). Honestly, you can just do a "naked run" with basic gear so you don't lose anything valuable if you get shot.

Load into Dam Battlegrounds. You need to visit two specific spots. It doesn't really matter which one you go to first, just go to the one closest to your spawn. The two locations are the South Swamp Outpost (in the southwest) and the Eastern Raider Outpost (in the northeast, overlooking the Red Lakes).

If you spawn near the swamp, head to the southwest part of the map. You are looking for a big, semi-destroyed building that has a round, dome-like roof. Go inside through the rusty doorway. Look for a double bed inside the room. The journal is hidden right near the bed, usually on the corner. Interact with it to grab it.

Next, you gotta run all the way to the northeast side. You are looking for the outpost that overlooks the Red Lakes. It's up on a rocky path. Look for a small shed or shack structure. Go inside and check the corridor. You will see a single bed (sometimes it's flipped over). Interact with the bed to get the second journal.

Once you have both journals in your inventory, you need to leave. Be super careful on your way to the extraction point. If you die now, you fail the quest and have to do it all again. Stay low, avoid the big robots, and get out of there.
