The Long Dark: Episode 4 – Sidequest: Dark Star Walkthrough & Guide.

The Long Dark: Dark Star Walkthrough

This sidequest can be activated by picking up any of the Blackrock archival pages found scattered around the prison. Reading all the notes will give you more insight into life at Blackrock prison prior to the First Flare. You’ll get a Steam achievement for finding them all, but no physical reward.

As an aside, all of the reports are just called “Archival Report” so I’m giving them personalized titles based on the contents.

A Wife’s Reflections
This will probably be the first page you find, activating the quest. The note will be lying on the backseat of the prison bus parked in the maintenance area of the prison. You’ll pass by it on your way to the infirmary during Chapter 1.

Building of Blackrock
This report can be found in guard locker #3. See Sidequest: Guard Lockers for more details.

A Cook’s Thoughts
This page can be found once you start chapter 2. The paper will be on the desk of the office in the power substation. This location will be highlighted on your map. Please see Chapter 2: The Power Plant for more details.

Memories of a Guard
The mostly likely last page can be found in the trailer at Foreman’s Clearcut, a little down the road from Cook’s Farm. You’ll reach it either by following the road or by heading right through the field of cut trees just after you pass the farm. Inside, you’ll find a workbench with the report lying on it.
