Collect all of these over the course of a single run through the game to unlock the trophy/achievement Archivist. It's important to emphasize the "single run" part of that sentence. A number of other recent survival horror games like the RE2 remake will save collectible progress directly to your profile as soon as you pick an item up, but SH2R does not. To get the trophy/achievement for finding all the memos, you have to pick all of them up over the course of a single start-to-finish run through SH2R, old-school style. This article is under construction. We're still looking for the last couple of Memos.Only memos that James picks up and takes with him, which are stored under the Memos tab of your in-game inventory, count towards Archivist. Other notes, such as books, clipboards, or manic wall graffiti, do not matter as far as the trophy/achievement is concerned. As noted below, it's not currently possible to find every memo in SH2R on a New Game+. The Lost &amp; Found Note in the Lakeview Hotel is replaced by the book of Lost Memories on NG+. If you got through Normal mode without unlocking Archivist, you'll need to run through again on Normal to complete the trophy/achievement.Eastern South Vale MemosAlmost all of these memos can only be found on your first visit to Eastern South Vale, at the start of the game. Flower Shop NoteRight when you reach Silent Hill at the start of the game, enter the unnamed flower shop at the intersection of Wiltse Road and Sanders St. This note is on its counter. MatchbookThis can be found on the dead guy on the north end of Martin Street in Eastern South Vale. Martin Street NoteJust south of the Matchbook, look for this file on the street by the discarded shoulder bag. Neely's Bar NoteThis, of course, is in Neely's Bar. Check on top of the bar by the stack of old newspapers. Code NoteLook for the parked big-rig truck on Sanders Street in Eastern South Vale. There's another dead man slumped against its side, with this note next to him on the street. Sanders Street NoteIn the same location as the Code Note, above. Saul Street Note(s)On the west end of Saul Street, past the apartment building, you can find an abandoned motor home near the barricade. Another dead man is on the street nearby. These 3 memos are in a line on the ground between the corpse and the motor home, and all have the same name in your inventory screen. Old MapCheck the aforementioned dead guy on the west end of Saul Street. Motor Home NoteEnter the motor home on Saul Street and take this off its little kitchenette. Small NoteEnter the reception area in the Saul St. Apartments and take this off the desk. Tenant's NoteOn the second floor of the Saul St. Apartments building, look for an open duct in the hall that lets you enter Apt. 7. This can be found on a table by its window. Record Store NoteEnter Groovy Music and look for this on its sales counter. Big Jay's NoteIn central Eastern South Vale, Big Jay's is a diner that's labeled on your map. Unlike most of the other local businesses, it's unlocked, and you can find this note written on a receipt on a table in the main seating area. Barrier NoteCheck the construction barricade on the west end of Katz St. to find this near another dead man. Unlike most other collectibles in Eastern South Vale, this will still be here when you revisit the Otherworld version of the area later in the game. Texan Café FlyerCheck the sandwich board next to Wood Side Apartments' entrance. Back Room LetterAfter you fix the jukebox in Neely's Bar, use the Neely's Bar Key to enter the back room. This can be found on a desk near the building's back door. Wood Side Apartments MemosAdministrator's NoteLook for this in the mailboxes under the stairs on the first floor. Strange NoteOn the third floor, half of Apt. 310 is blocked off by debris. If you go down the hall, however, you can find a hole in the wall that lets you circumvent the barricade. This memo is in a desk drawer. Sinister NoteLook for this tacked to the wall near the sealed door to Apt. 312. Western South Vale MemosReception Desk NoteCheck the front desk at the Jacks Inn in Western South Vale. Toolbox NoteAt the Jacks Inn, break into Room 108 through its window, then use the hole in 108's wall to reach 107. As the name suggests, the memo is on the toolbox near the barricaded door. Bloody NoteRun all the way west on Nathan Ave. until it dead-ends. This can be found near the chasm. You can pick this up either when you're exploring Western South Vale in daylight with Maria, or later on when you're en route to the Historical Society. Brookhaven Hospital MemosKey Locker NoteThis one is easy to miss. It's tacked to a bulletin board in the Reception room, next to the desk. Nurse's MemoLook for the small office space between Exam Rooms 2 and 3. This note can be found in the closed desk drawer. Staff MemoOn the second floor, look for this taped to the Nurse's Station window. Evaluation Card, Patient #0090Evaluation Card, Patient #0130Evaluation Card, Patient #0050These are neatly lined up on the side table behind the desk in the Director's Office. Interview TranscriptInspect the poster on the wall in Room C1. Scribbled NoteWhen you reach the Medical Records room, look for this on the floor. It's not that hard to spot, but it is a piece of paper in a room that's full of pieces of paper. X-Ray MemoNaturally, this is on the central table in the X-Ray Room on the third floor. Keypad Combination NoteCheck the bulletin board in the Doctors' Lounge. Treatment Room NoteWhen you gain access to the Treatment Room, look for this on a bench by the wall. Safe NoteOnce you've opened the safe in the Director's Office, check it again to receive this memo. Page from a DiaryCheck the pile of papers at the top of the elevator shaft on the roof. Otherworld Hospital MemosEvaluation Card, Patient #3141Right after you wake up in the Otherworld Hospital, check the wheelchair in the Dayroom. The ProcedureTake this from the center table in the Otherworld's version of the X-Ray Room. Calendar PageRead the open book on the floor in Room M1. This is a little tricky to collect, as you won't actually tear out and keep the page unless you press the "investigate" button while you're inspecting the book. Patient's NoteGrab this off the bed in the Observation Room on the second floor. Manic ScribbleWhen you unlock the Director's Office, look for this on the side table where you previously found the first 3 Patient Notes. Nurse's NoteOn the third floor, look for this note on the table the darkest corner of the same room as the Treatment Stretcher. Director's NoteThis is easy to overlook. It's on the floor in the Restroom on the third floor of the Otherworld Hospital, which is accessible via the open crawlspace near the generator. Dissociated NoticeWhen you reach the Locker Room on the first floor, grab this off the bench. Ominous NoteAfter you open the Lady's Door on the second floor, you'll end up on a staircase. This memo is on its first landing. South Vale: Nightfall MemosNote on a MapRight as you reach Eastern South Vale in the Otherworld, check inside the motor home on Saul Street. LetterYou automatically receive this when you pick up the Wrench. Toluca Prison MemosGun Cabinet NoticeTake this off the wall of the Armory. Family PhotoWhen you reach the death row cells in the Serpent Section, E4 is the only one that's initially unlocked. Take this off its bunk. Guard's LetterLook for this on the wall next to the unlabeled, locked room in the northwest corner of the second floor. Threatening NoteOnce you reach Cell D5 on the second floor, grab this off the wall. Paranoid NoteOpen Cell C5 and use the hole in its wall to reach the maintenance space behind it. This has been left on a nearby pipe. Crumpled NoteBefore you reach the Showers on the Prison's second floor, visit the Changing Room. This note is on a bench in the center of the room. Prisoner's LetterWhen you reach the Visitor Center in the Prison, check booth #7 to find this note taped to the glass. Unfinished ReportAfter you've fought through the Prison's Infirmary, take this memo from one of the desks in its back room. ConfessionLook for this on the wall behind the door of Cell F6 In the basement of Toluca Prison. Lakeview Hotel MemosLaura's LetterYou receive this automatically after James' conversation with Laura in the restaurant of the Lakeview Hotel. Receptionist's LetterGrab this off the check-in desk in the hotel lobby. Lost &amp; Found NoteSmash the weak wall in the back of Café Toluca to access the hotel's Lost &amp; Found. This note can be found on a shelf inside. One more time for safety's sake: this memo does not appear on New Game+ mode, where it's replaced by a new key item. If you don't get Archivist on your first run, you'll have to play through SH2R again on Normal mode to unlock it.Cleaning Staff Note #1Check the Utility Room in the hotel's basement. Door PhotoStain PhotoGate PhotoThese are all found scattered around Room 208, which is accessed by solving the bookshelf puzzle in the Reading Room. Cleaning Staff Note #2This can't be missed, as you collect it at the same time as the plot-critical Key to Room 107. Both are found on the fireplace in the Conference Room. Cleaning Staff Note #3Once you have the key, return to the hotel's first floor and unlock Room 107. This is directly in front of you as you enter. Keypad Numbers MemoIn the Lakeview Hotel's Employee Section, solve the gem box in the Manager's Office. Burned NoteAs you're heading through what's left of the Employee Section in the Otherworld version of the hotel, check the desk in the Manager's Office to find the final memo in Silent Hill 2 Remake. </div></body>
