Where to find all Hiram Shaw journals in Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Hiram Shaw left a dozen journal entries behind. They are scattered across the Abbey grounds, and to find them all, you must acquire all four Words of Power. You can use the map below to reference each number with the corresponding journal’s in-game location.
1: This journal is on a table in a cave to the right of the Stone Terrace entrance. You need the Open Word of Power to access it.
2: You will find various caves that belong to old witches who lived on the Abbey grounds during the Salem Witch trials, and each one has a Hiram journal entry inside. This is one of these locations.
3: Once you have access to the Reveal Word of Power, you can find Hiram’s church. Inside this location, use the Reveal power to unveil a bevy of collectibles, including two of his journal entries.
4: This is the second journal entry hidden in Hiram’s church.
5: This is the third Hiram journal, but it’s located in a secret area. After you use the Reveal power to unveil hidden items in the back of the church, use the Open power to open a secret passageway outside. You will find this page on the ground near a mysterious ward that you will return to later.
6: Once you’ve completed the Venom church bell boss fight in the campaign, Dr. Strange will help you break the ward at Hiram’s church and allow you to retrieve this journal page.
7: This entry can be found early in the game, as it’s located down the brook near the Abbey.
8: This entry is near the elemental altar and can also be acquired early in the campaign.
9: You can discover this entry page inside the Misty Moors region after you obtain the final Word of Power. Break the cracked walls near the Abbey to gain access to this location and secure this journal page.
10: This page is just to the north of the previous one. After you find page number nine, run up the dirt road, and you will find page ten on a small table nearby.
11: You can acquire this by blasting a wall of boulders near Lilith’s Garden.
12: This journal page is in the middle of the Everflowing Glade. You can access it after obtaining the Purify Word of Power.
Acquiring all of Hiram Shaw’s journal entries will trigger a small cutscene with Agatha Harkness and provide you with an Arcane Key and Legendary solid eye color for your created character to use.
