ODST Audio Logs Question

[Patches]

At what point can you find the 29th audio log in terms of story progression? And are you able to go back and find all of them if you choose to go through each mission ignoring getting them so you can do a huge hunt in one go before continuing on with the story?

Once you complete all the main missions (Kikowani Station if you go in order) it locks off part of the Mombasa streets over world. so you really want to find them all before you start Kikowani Station.

So if I beat all the missions up to before Kikowani Station, I can go grab them all in one go?

Yes. You should be able to grab them all once you complete "Tayari Plaza" as after that level Mombasa streets opens up. You can do the next 5 missions in any order you want (I would just use the recommended order) and you can collect all the audio logs. once all 5 of the middle levels are completed you get funneled into Data Hive and most of the over world is locked off. I think if the last audio log is in the same section as the last mission you can still grab it after but you can only grab all the audio logs once (without doing some shenanigans) so as much as I have replayed this game I only got 2 experiences of grabbing the audio logs.

Got the achievement. Many thanks!

Sorry for the discussion necromancy, but just for clarity for myself: On my first ODST campaign, did I basically screw myself over by not doing the missions in order (I left the ONI area mission last), because I can only find 28 out of the first 29?

no you can load into Mombasa streets and find the last audio log. As long as the whole world is open to you it is out their somewhere.

This thread was quite old before the recent posts, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
