PS5
The Occultist rewards examining GodStone before crossing the points that prevent backtracking. Story progress alone does not fill the journal; some entries need an inspection or a power. Track sets as you move on, and if you want Devout Son on the same run, keep its six-hour limit in mind. The steps below name locations.
Area-by-area route for the journal, hidden objects and a campaign under six hours.
- Time requirement: Finish within six hours for Devout Son
- Missables: Yes: journal, collectibles and area actions
- Cleanup: No chapter select documented in the PS5 guide
- Online: No multiplayer trophies
Start tracking the journal on arrival at GodStone
After crossing the river, use Vera Visio when you reach the cabin and start distinguishing automatic entries from those that require inspecting objects. The journal has story and investigation sections; check both before leaving each area. Track medallions, altars and Redler Gospel fragments separately, since the related trophies require each complete set.
- Check both journal sections.
- Keep three separate collectible counts.
Get the orphanage power and find Consulting B
Get Caecus Corvus in the orphanage matron’s room; you will use it beyond mandatory puzzles. In the hospital, enter Consulting B and find the locked door at the back right. Enter the code Oliver and, after dealing with the encounter, use Vera Visio on the wall opposite the entrance. The eye chart unlocks The Oculist. Do this before leaving the hospital in the car.
- Open the locked door in Consulting B.
- Use Vera Visio on the eye chart.
Check the circus mannequin and pier
At the circus, enter the fortune teller’s room and view the mannequin through Vera Visio for I am not a scale man. Later on the pier, after crossing the crane section and talking to Tommy, follow the purple lights toward the crows near the water. When the fish jump, use Caecus Corvus to catch one in midair. Finish both detours before advancing.
- Inspect the mannequin with Vera Visio.
- Catch a fish with Caecus Corvus.
Check behind the lighthouse before the crypt
In the graveyard, enter the lighthouse and follow the story through Gabriel’s scene. Once you are back down, take the outside stairs again and inspect the grave behind the building for Old Times. Do it on the lighthouse side before opening the lion door and entering the crypt. Check your journal and collectible counts against the route so far, especially on a one-run attempt.
- Inspect the grave behind the lighthouse.
- Check your progress before passing the lion door.
Decide when to attempt Devout Son
Finish the manor and temple after checking that your earlier sets are complete. If you already know the puzzles, you can aim for the six-hour trophy alongside Dear Diary. If the first visit takes longer, make it your completion run and use a second campaign to focus on the story. Once the collectible trophies are earned, you do not have to hunt them again for the timed trophy. Avoid long idle stretches in the game world.
- Check Dear Diary and the three sets before the ending.
- Plan puzzle solutions before the timed run.

Frequently asked questions
How many items should I find besides the journal?
The PS5 roadmap counts 15 medallions, 7 altars and 5 Gospel fragments. Track story and investigation pages separately.
Can I return to the circus after the ending?
The PS5 guide does not document chapter select. Get the mannequin and fish on your first visit; once you leave the area, you may need a new run.
Must I finish the journal within six hours?
They are separate objectives. Dear Diary tracks pages, while Devout Son tracks time to finish. You can split them across two runs.
