Saros hides its story inside 63 Audio Logs scattered across the planet Carcosa, each one filling in what happened to the Echelon teams who came before you. They're not handed to you on a platter. Some sit on obvious paths, others wait behind locked Permanent Equipment gates, and a few won't appear on your minimap until you've already wandered past the turnoff. This guide breaks down every Audio Log by region so you can track them down without backtracking across the entire map.
How do Audio Logs work in Saros?
Audio Log locations are randomized based on your specific map layout, but each log has a fixed placement type, either along the main path or tucked into side camps. That means the exact spot shifts run to run, but the general zones where each log can appear stay consistent.
The fastest way to spot one nearby is to watch your minimap. A small icon marks each Audio Log's position, though it may only appear once you've pushed far enough down a side route to trigger it. If you suspect you've missed something, press down on the D-pad to activate Area Scan, your sonar pulse that highlights collectibles and points of interest in the immediate area around you.
Some Audio Logs are gated behind Permanent Equipment requirements. These won't be accessible until you've progressed far enough through the main story to unlock the relevant gear, so don't stress if a region feels incomplete early on.

What's the fastest way to find missing Audio Logs?
After testing the Area Scan mechanic across multiple regions, the most efficient approach is to clear each biome's main path first, then sweep every side camp before moving on. The minimap icon appears at a limited range, so rushing through side areas without slowing down is the most common reason players end up short on a region's count.
For equipment-gated logs, regions do change as you unlock new Permanent Equipment, so returning to earlier biomes after story progression is sometimes necessary. Keep a mental note of any side paths that felt blocked early on.
