Quest Guide: Celeste's Journals

Objective list

• Retrieve Celeste's Journals from the South Swamp Outpost
• Retrieve Celeste's Journals from the northern outpost overlooking the Red Lakes
• Deliver 2 Journals to Celeste

What to bring

• A reliable mid-range primary and a sidearm or close-range backup; most quest deaths happen while rotating, not while looting.

How to run it

Plan the raid around the first named objective and your nearest safe extract, not around the fattest loot route. If the quest item drops into your inventory, the raid is now an escort mission and everything else is optional.

1. Step 1: Retrieve Celeste's Journals from the South Swamp Outpost

   Treat this as a hard objective, not a side stop. Finish the interaction, confirm the quest tracker updates, then rotate before the next squad arrives.

2. Step 2: Retrieve Celeste's Journals from the northern outpost overlooking the Red Lakes

   Treat this as a hard objective, not a side stop. Finish the interaction, confirm the quest tracker updates, then rotate before the next squad arrives.

3. Step 3: Deliver 2 Journals to Celeste

   Do not queue extra looting on the way back. Once the item is in your bag, your next win condition is simply getting out alive.

Where players usually throw this quest

• Finishing the item step and then greed-looting instead of extracting while the objective is still fresh and uncontested.
• Taking a fight on the way out just because you hear it. Quest raids are won by discipline, not by K/D.

Miswired note

Use the named area as your anchor, then plan your extract before you touch the objective. That matters more than another backpack worth of salvage on Dam Battlegrounds.
