The official Chapter 1 Journal badge is named “Chapter 1 Journal – 100% Completion,” badge ID 2347833876267561. Its description says to capture all known anomalies within the Chapter 1 Journal. The matching setting is The Residence. The badge confirms the goal, while the live Journal must provide the entry list and current completion state.
Record the Residence Journal baseline
Open Chapter 1 in the current Journal. Note the visible percentage or completion mark, revealed entry names, silhouettes, and hidden positions. Do not name a hidden slot from an old screenshot. Add the UTC date and current mode you plan to use.
Enter “Chapter 1 – The Residence” and confirm that the contract title matches. Build a feed map from the present game: label, large object, light source, empty boundary, and next feed. Do not assume an exact room or camera count from the chapter title.
Use Shift, L2, or double tap for zoom according to device. Read every report control from the current interface.
Find useful Chapter 1 evidence
The developer names misplaced objects, flickering lights, and independently moving shadows as examples. In each Residence feed, check a large object’s relationship, watch one fixture and its illuminated surface, and keep one doorway or wall edge as a shadow boundary.
When something changes, describe feed, feature, normal state, and changed state. Submit the room and category shown by the game. Record the report feedback immediately, then resume from the next feed.
If a community list suggests an entry, use it only as a live test target. Do not mark the row verified until The Residence Journal or a successful current report supports the name and location.
Compare Journal results
The badge wording does not say exactly when capture occurs. Preserve the observed sequence instead of simplifying it into a universal rule after one event.
Solo and co-op checks
Solo provides the cleanest Chapter 1 capture test because only your action can change your Journal during the run. Use it to establish one confirmed sequence.
In co-op, record who spotted, who submitted, and what each player’s Chapter 1 Journal shows. Official public material does not explain shared credit. Compare all accounts at the same result point before drawing a conclusion.
If a teammate reports an event before you record the baseline, leave the entry as ambiguous and choose another controlled run.
Fix a missing Chapter 1 entry
Confirm the selected Journal says Chapter 1 and the contract says The Residence. Check whether the entry was already captured under a revealed name. Verify that the report succeeded and that the session reached a normal result or save point.
If progress still does not appear, rejoin once through the official Experience and compare the same screen. Keep the device, mode, and party state in the record. A reproducible result can be shared with X Core Studios as a concise bug report.
Do not assume Veteran is required. A separate official Veteran badge exists, but the badge API does not link it to Journal completion.
Maintain the Chapter 1 list
Future anomalies are officially described as in development. Date every Residence entry and recheck the Journal after updates. If a room baseline changes, preserve the old date and create a new current description rather than treating the new normal as an anomaly.
Use The Residence guide for the contract route and Object Anomalies for household-object comparisons.
Common mistakes
- Checking a different chapter Journal after the run.
- Guessing hidden entry names.
- Recording a sighting without report feedback.
- Assuming solo and co-op award the same account state.
- Treating the Chapter 1 badge as an entry list.
- Forgetting to date a baseline after an update.
