Missing Codex Entries After Two Playthroughs

[Firesnakearies]

I've spent 51 hours playing Masquerada, streaming it on Twitch and posting it to YouTube. I have now played through it twice from start to finish, and I explored every corner of each map, interacted with every circle, and read every Codex entry (out loud).

I LOVE this game, it's amazing. I LOVE the Codex, it's incredibly complete and well-written and interesting. It's the best codex/journal I've seen in any game, and I play a lot of text-heavy RPGs.

But even after two complete playthroughs, being very careful to find everything, I am still missing four Codex entries.

I got several new ones on the second playthrough, and I suspect this has something to do with the patch/version change, as I started my first playthrough immediately on launch with the pre-1.0 version.

But I am still missing four!

They are:

Maskrunners 11

Culture 1

Locations 12

Locations 26


Am I dealing with a bug here? Or are these actually located somewhere in the game and I somehow missed them? Twice.

I just finished my first playthrough, and I also did not get all the codex's. I think there are at least 2 possible places where you might have missed them.

The moving library place that you go through with Tiz's mother, it has a number of dead end rooms that have codex's in them. I know for a fact that I missed one in there as I didn't notice it until I had already clicked on the exit circle.

The other one is when you are fighting through the whispering streets or whatever they are called, where there are also a lot of dead ends. I found a few masks and inks in dead ends in that place as well.

There are also a few open areas like parts of the city that I had to run around a bit to find the codex's in that area.

There were a couple of typos with regards to unlocking Codex that gave players the wrong codex entry instead, which we fixed in patch 1.10 a week ago. We apologise for this issue, you will be able to find the missing codex in the locations below.

• Maskrunner 11 (Izander) can be found in Chapter: The Knife Behind His Smile. At The Bleeding Beetle, after talking to Vasco.
  
• Culture 1 (The Accredita and Vamus Tests) can be found in Chapter: Quiet Songs. At The White Spire, Courtyard after the player returns from The Cleaver, interact with the Vegilus and the Portieri talking.
  
• Location 12 (The Estra Fantasmia) can be found in Chapter: Broken Masks. Outside the Hall of Songs, interact with the two Cacciatore talking beneath the orange tree.
  
• Location 26 (The Randagia) can be found in Chapter: One Man's Cross. At Seimora's Throne, Camps above the pen close to the Sorelle camp, interact with the two Cacciatore talking.

To get to them quickly, select the Chapter from the Main Menu while using the save game profile you want to complete the Codex on.

In the Whispering Streets first maze scene, there are 1 Codex Entry, and 1 Mask (Amadea). In the second maze scene, there are 1 Codex Entry, 1 Ink and 1 Mask (Cicero). In the third maze scene, there are 1 Engraving and 1 Mask (Kalden).

If there are any other codex entries where you need help with finding their locations, feel free to ask!

Thanks so much for your helpful reply, Xinhuan! I really appreciate it!

If anyone has any information on Culture #22 I would be grateful, only one I'm missing. I would love to know what chapter to replay, but any info on the codex entry itself would be great!!

[Xinhuan]

Culture #22 should be Ombric Calendar, and is found in Conoscenza Basement 2 in Act 1 (non-damaged version).

Hey guys! Despite looking in all dark corners several times I miss History 13 entry. Does someone know where it might be? Thanks in advance!

[Xinhuan]

History 13 is "The First" (The founder of Ombre is a man referred to as the First) and is also found in Conoscenza Basement 2 in Act 1 (non-damaged version).

In order to get both "The First" and "Ombric Calendar", you will need to explore the left path (it's near the bottom side of the map between 2 bookshelves) and the right path (it's near the right side of the map) before triggering the fight sequence in the library where the Vegilus are held hostage.

For the collected codex entries to save to the profile, you will need to complete the scene (rescue the Vegilus) so that the start of the next scene performs the autosave.

Hi, I'm in the same position here, still missing 1 entry. Namely Factions 3. Has anyone found this and know where (or what) it is? None of my firends have found this one either. I would really appreciate the help.

[Xinhuan]

Factions 3 (Cacciatore) is found at the exterior of the Cleaver. That's the scene you load right into if you go Main Menu -> Chapter Select -> The Light in the Ruins.

After the fights and after talking to Brekken, run back towards the start of the level and it should be there along the way.

Thank you so much, it was driving me and my friends nuts not finding it! <3

Hey does anyone know where I can find codex entry for Faction 14 ?

Factions 14 (The Registry: Portieri) is found in The White Spire, Courtyard in Act 1. This is 6 scenes after the start of the chapter "Shards of the Past". In this scene, you about to leave the Registry to head to the Quiet Order, and you leave Lucia behind.

I backtracked quite a bit but can't seem to find the entry for History no. 21. Does anyone here remember where they got theirs? I hoped it would trigger during the finale but nothing...
The game is quite addicting for me, so I don't mind replaying the chapters, but I'm a bit of a completionist, so please anyone? =)

On another note... I seem to have a bug with obtaining one of the raw masks for Vasco. The one in the room with the "stone salt machine" in the hideout under the Golden Canvas. There was the "new raw mask found" message, but nothing appeared in mask selection for any of the characters. Since I now have all the other masks except for one of Vasco's, I guess this one is it.... Did anyone else also encounter this?? Thanks.

[Xinhuan]

History 21 (The Song of Crimson Tides) is located in The Assemblea, Repository, Act 3. This is 4 scenes after loading into the Chapter "An Empty Nest".

The missing mask for Vasco is indeed a current bug, it is currently accidentally unlocked to Amadea's inventory (which doesn't show up in the menus). You can either edit the save file (it is a text file) to fix this and move the mask to Vasco, otherwise it is fixed for the next patch.
