List of Logbooks and Scans Guide

Space Pirate
Category: Biology Subcategory: Sylux Forces Region: UTO Research Center Area: Launch Pad How to Get: The earliest you can scan a Space Pirate is during the introduction scene in the Launching Pad of the UTO Research Center. |

Aberax
Category: Biology Subcategory: Sylux Forces Region: UTO Research Center Area: Hangar How to Get: Scan Aberax as soon as you fight him in the Hangar of the UTO Research Center. |
![]() ![]() |
The prologue logbook scans are entirely missable. We suggest getting to most of them before you fight Aberax, as you will get transported to Viewros once the battle ends.

Some boss scans are missable once you defeat them in the game. Make sure to get a logbook entry of them while in combat by scanning them with your Visor.
If you missed scanning the main bosses: Carvex, Xelios, Keratos, or Phenoros, you can return to the Sanctum of Guardians in Fury Green and interact with the Playback Device to generate holograms of these bosses.
| List of Collectible Items | ||
|---|---|---|
| Shot Expansion | Missile Expansion | Energy Tank |
There are various collectible items that you can miss once you progress to the endgame. Ensure to collect them when possible, as they are also required to 100% the game.

You may only unlock the Hard Difficulty Setting if you play and finish the game on Normal Mode.
Difficulty Differences and Best Settings

Once you enter the Aberax Boss Arena, you can no longer scan the logbook entries for UTO Research Center other than Aberax itself.
We suggest completing the scans for the area before entering, as you cannot return back to the facility once the fight commences.

Before the final fight with Sylux, a prompt will be appearing if you want to order the troopers to move forward. This marks the point of no return for the endgame, so you cannot return to all areas of Viewros once you press Yes.
Make a Manual Save file before you progress the story so you can 100% the game in this duplicate slot, if you haven't!
