Next to the harvest corpse in the upper apartments of Skid Row. Same room as a record player and Tonic.

An apartment room with a safe and turret, on the second landing (third floor) of the Sinclair Deluxe.

Outside the entrance to Plaza Hedone, propped next to the door you’ve spent the first half of this level trying to open.

Audio Diary #12 – “Bury Her Memory”

Second level of Plaza Hedone, in a northwestern room with a desk and a fridge.

Audio Diary #13 – “The Requirements of Utopia”

In the southwest, ground-level corner of Plaza Hedone are two small alleys that meet in a loop. One side of this loop drops down to a watery sewer with a Vending Expert tonic hanging from a noose… and the audio diary right after that.

Audio Diary #14 – “An Empty Niche”

Find the illegal plasmid lab by hitting the “conspicuous switch” at the Green Grocery. At the very back of this area, in a dark room with dead bodies in bathtubs, you’ll find the audio diary on a table.

Audio Diary #15 – “Lamb’s Operation”

Located in the smugglers’ hideout, which is above the Green Grocery, past a turret and through a steel door. Most any walkway on the 2nd or 3rd levels of Plaza Hedone will lead you to this area eventually.

Audio Diary #16 – “My Name is Eleanor”

Last bunk bed in the group sleeping quarters of the Little Sisters Orphanage.

Audio Diary #17 – “Shackled to the Great Chain”
