The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a pretty complex and complicated co-op Horror game with a lot going on with it. You can definitely feel a bit overwhelmed by everything at first and get a little lost.
It can be tough to remember what exactly your objective is while you're running for your life from some truly terrifying monsters. That's great when you're not looking for something you desperately need, like a Logbook.
This guide will cover how to find the Scarlet Woods Logbook, which should be one of the first ones you need to find. Once you get it, you can go to a new area and experience all that rewarding exploration for the first time again.
How to Get the Scarlet Woods Logbook
This can be a mission you get outright, or you can do it while you're on another expedition into this part of the forest. Regardless of how you go about getting to the Scarlet Woods, once you're there, you can grab the Logbook.
This can be pretty tough because you'll have to head to the fort, which you don't know the location of on the map, and on top of that, you have no idea how to actually reach the fort at all. It can get frustrating pretty quickly, especially if you're on a mission there already.
Preparing for the Mission
It's easier to just grab an item or two from the shop to make sure you can find your way because it can be so easy to get lost. If you have the coins, you can grab a map from the shop for 30 coins before heading out.
This will let you see an outline of the map and where you are on it. It's super useful for when you get a little lost while exploring, and it gives you a much better sense of direction and locations.
Finding the Fort
The fort, as with most forts, is at the end of the road to the north. When the two beginning pathways merge again, and you reach the next bend, you'll want to work your way to the left and follow along the map.
Like in all the best horror games, you can't get directly into most forts, so always plan on finding another way around. Once you start seeing either the lookout tower or some of the wooden walls, you'll know you've found it.
Getting the Logbook
You'll find the Logbook in the white tent with a flag outside the tent. It'll just be sitting there waiting for you to take it, but you can't just pick it up and call it a day.
Once you pick it up, you won't be able to use other items until you drop it off at the cart. To make things even more interesting, you'll need to make your way back to the boat and get out safely for it to even count.
With the Logbook safely returned, you'll get access to a new recording to listen to back on the ship, and you can now progress to the next area, bringing you one step closer to The Mound. You'll still be a good bit away from being done with this co-op horror game, so don't relax just yet.
