Lost Soul Aside: Complete Guide to All Document Locations

Lost Soul Aside includes a comprehensive Journal designed to deepen the understanding of its characters, locales, concepts, and various lore aspects. Entries in the journal can be updated automatically throughout gameplay, while others require players to explore stages for hidden documents or engage in conversations with NPCs.

A noteworthy aspect of this feature is a trophy associated with the journal collection. However, players should be cautious; the trophy description may lead to some confusion. It states that players must collect all documents—but don’t be misled into thinking it only pertains to the Documents category!

To successfully earn this trophy, you must complete every entry in the Journal. This includes not only gathering each document but also fully exploring all NPC dialogues in two specific scenarios. If done correctly, you will earn the trophy just before the game’s concluding battle.

This guide will assist you in locating every document in Lost Soul Aside while aiming for the coveted Gethya’s Approval trophy.

Documents will be presented in the order in which they can be obtained. Due to the linear design of Lost Soul Aside, this guide can serve as an efficient walkthrough during your playthrough.

Every Document Location in Lost Soul Aside

To assist you in determining which documents you have yet to collect in your Lost Soul Aside Journal, I have created a table organized to reflect the in-game categories. I have excluded the Characters section since those entries update automatically.

Prologue: Imperial Festival

Document on Holy Knights

In the prologue, all documents can be located within the Underground Laboratory. The first document is difficult to overlook as it lies directly along your path, near a fallen body.

Imperial Document

The second document is also in the Underground Laboratory. After navigating through a spacious area where you face several Voidrax, proceed towards your next objective, and you will find this document next to another deceased NPC.

Holy Gift Technology

Once you have secured the prior document, you will need to battle some minor Voidrax in a connecting passage. After overcoming them, look for a destructible crystal orb on the left side (according to your minimap); right next to it lies the Holy Gift Technology document beside yet another body.

Hidden History

Advance further until you encounter three stationary turrets. Destroy them and climb up the ramp; you will find this document resting on top of a box.

Chapter 1: Mount Salvation

Letter of Recommendation

Your initial boss encounter in Mount Salvation is against Lord GoldenLion. After his defeat, look for a statue located in the northeast area of the arena to uncover this letter of recommendation.

Artistic Inspiration

After handling Rose Queen, you will reach a platforming sequence. To begin, activate the floor switch to lower the platform.

Then, jump across the first platform, and make your way to the lowered platform. You will encounter an annoying worm-like enemy in a closed area ahead, which is where this document is located.

Diary: Awakened

Post-battle with WhiteCloud, you will pass by an entrance to the Dispersed Dimension. In the next area, you will confront centipedes. After dispatching them, you’ll be able to collect the diary of the slumbering lord.

Insights for Cultivation

This document is located next to Liana as you proceed to the next portal after defeating WhiteCloud.

Battle of Mount Salvation / Soul Crystal / Aramon

Following your victory over Buckhorn and entering Seleria’s palace, you’ll have the opportunity to converse with the Four Lords. Be sure to talk to GoldenLion, Rose Queen, and Buckhorn, as it will unlock new Journal entries.

Make sure to exhaust all dialogue options to ensure you don’t miss any details. Aramon’s entry should appear automatically later on, but it is advisable to collect it at this point.

Chapter 2: Skycrest Badlands

Buckhorn Palace

Exploring the Skycrest Badlands will take you to a broad field.As you enter a village, search for a bench where Gethya’s father has this document hidden.

SkyMirror Lake

In the SkyMirror Lake area, you will be able to spot this document right ahead on the primary path—it’s hard to miss.

Hidden City

As you continue through Skycrest Badlands and reach Buckhorn Palace, persist in your “flower-jumping”until you come across some imperial soldiers.

Defeat them, then follow the eastern path to arrive at a circular area with a few Voidrax; vanquish them to uncover a document nestled in the corner, next to a treasure chest.

Buckhorn Spirit-Dragon Ode

This document lies along your critical path. After facing yet another group of imperial soldiers, who form a shield wall around an archer, you need to defeat them. Gethya will then conjure new structures. Look for a statue on the northwest side of this area to find this poetic document.

Chapter 3: Mistwood

Monkeyfruit

Upon your arrival in Redbead Village, speak with the village chief. However, before you do that, head south of the village.

You will come across some troublesome monkeys in an open area. After dispatching them, this document will be waiting for you.

Neverwind Monastery & Redbead Village

While still in Redbead Village, have a chat with the cheerful girl next to the main building—that’s the chief’s sister. Ensure you fully explore her dialogue to obtain entries for both Neverwind Monastery and Redbead Village.

Neverwind Monastery Values

This document can be found within Neverwind Monastery right after you defeat the boss there—his skill sets are quite impressive. It’s tough to miss this document, as it’s located directly to the right of your next main destination, but just in case, now you know.

Seleria’s Secret Technique

After defeating Torch, you will encounter Neverwind again and learn Aerial Dash. Go to the northern side of this building to retrieve the document.

Chapter 4: Frosthold Borderland

Abandoned Village

As you navigate through Frosthold’s map, you will eventually meet Drogo, Zana’s mentor. Head east from the burning village to discover a cave.

Descend into the cave, and you’ll trigger a sub-boss encounter. The document will be yours once you successfully defeat this elusive Voidrax.

Snow Guardian

After collecting the previous document, return to the main route to find this paper on a bench following the battle against some wolves.

Guardian Letter

Continue along the path from the Snow Guardian document until you meet Liana, then locate a passage south of her containing another document.

Relocation

Once you have vanquished the Alpha Frost Wolf, Drogo will join you and share some details about the Nameless Cenotaph, which is represented by a kneeling statue. This Relocation document can be found on the left side of the statue.

Fourtides

As Kaser stylishly snowboards into the Lifted Corridor area, head into the east room to discover the Fourtides document.

Coliseum

Upon reaching the Coliseum, don’t rush directly to the center of the arena after the platforming section. Instead, take the southern corridor to find a document concealed at the end.

Chapter 4: Redstone Mines

Savings…

Upon arrival in the mining village, you will have a brief interaction with Zana and a guard. After this, collect this document located right beside you.

Redstone Mines

After enjoying some drinks with Zana and leaving the village, follow the Princess. The document you seek will be found on the pathside next to a broken tent.

“Steam”

While navigating the Redstone Mines, you will temporarily separate from Zana. Proceed until you cross a collapsing bridge to reach a mining camp where you can find a document on a tent located to the right (from your player perspective, not minimap).

Seriously III

This document is located along the main route, making it quite difficult to miss; it can be found inside the Snow Crystal Mines where various contraptions aim to crush you.

Chapter 4: Royal Court of Frosthold

Last Words

Continue through the Collapsed Royal City until you encounter Liana again; this document will be situated on a table nearby.

Hall of Wisdom

The Hall of Wisdom resembles a maze, making it beneficial to use the accompanying screenshot as a visual reference to locate this document.

Royal Court of Frosthold

This document is found in the intricate and winding Hall of Wisdom; locate it on the west side along your critical path.

By adhering closely to this structured guide, you will secure the Gethya’s Approval trophy as soon as you embark on the final battle.
