Revision 6

The Page from Marcel Boucher's Diary is the middle entry of the three-part expedition story. Marcel records that Louie disobeyed orders and walked into an ambush, that most of the men did not return, and that the survivors are about to abandon the ruins.

In-Game Text

Mid-March, 17XX

Curse these pirates. They've landed and are now combing the entire island.

We have barricaded ourselves inside the fortified ruin, with sentries posted at the other two.

A few days ago, Louie disobeyed orders and led some of the lads off. Of course, they walked straight into an ambush. We had to pull them out, but only two made it back. If my musket hadn't misfired, Louie would still be alive.

The pirates are closing in. We'll have to abandon the loot and withdraw. The most valuable items will go into a cache.

Lore Context

This page is the middle chapter of a three-part expedition story written by Marcel Boucher. The full account is collected in Marcel Boucher's Diary, with the surrounding entries turning up as the Last Letter and the Torn Hat. Read in order, the three pieces trace an ill-fated treasure expedition from confident landing to desperate retreat.

The entry names the moment the expedition turns: Louie disobeys orders, leads a party into an ambush, and only two men come back. Marcel's line that his musket misfired ties the loss to bad luck as much as bad judgement. The closing decision, to abandon the loot and seal the most valuable items in a cache, is the in-world reason a player later finds these caches inside the Abandoned Buccaneer Warehouse.

Where to Find

Collecting Notes

The page is a lore item with no combat or crafting value; it stacks to 20 and weighs nothing meaningful, so spares cost nothing to keep. It drops at roughly a one percent rate from Buccaneers' Chests in the Abandoned Buccaneer Warehouse, so completing the diary set usually means repeated warehouse clears rather than a single lucky find.

The chests sit inside the Abandoned Buccaneer Warehouse; the drop is rare, so finishing the three-part set is a multi-run task.
