South of Midnight – Chapter 7 Notes Locations
Chapter 5 had 11, Chapter 6 had 10, and Chapter 7 brings 15 notes. This isn’t the peak, as later chapters will have even more, but this one is certainly notable.

The Lost Boy – At the start of the chapter, follow the path until you hear Hazel mention the old sawmill, which will occur just before crossing a river. After crossing, turn left to find a climbing path. Ascend and navigate around the rock wall to an area blocked by brambles and vines. The note is on a box next to a Floof knot.

Lost Liquor – This note is found after the first combat encounter. After defeating the enemies, look to the right. You’ll spot a health filament behind some branches. The note is on boxes near the branches, and you might as well collect the filament while you’re there.

Lieutenant Laurent – When you encounter the memory object showing a clip of Hazel’s mother, check to your right. The note is on an old dresser at the entrance of a path with a box and a Floof knot nearby.

The Babblin’ Boy – After finding the last note and crossing the river, turn left to find a path blocked by branches you can push aside. Beyond them, you’ll find the note on a box next to a metal sheet.

Baby Faced Laurent – From the last note, continue along the path until you reach a river you must cross using echoes of a bridge. After crossing, turn left to find this note on a box next to another metal sheet.

Burrower’s – Lil’ Drunkards – After finding the last note, follow the path and jump over two large bramble vines. The note is in a hollow dead tree directly ahead of you.

End of Prohibition – After clearing the combat encounter that ends with using Crouton to remove the Stigma, follow the path under a large tree. This note is to the right of the path, beneath the tree.

Boy out of Time – You’ll find this note shortly after the last one. Walk past the tree and look for a building to your right. The note is on a structure near the porch of the building.

Heart of Lace – After the cutscene at the Juke Joint, head back into the shop and go up the stairs. The note is on a box near Laurent and Lacey’s picture.

Treatment – Once you reach Milltown using the grapple, head straight down the path. This note is inside the house on the right, on a table near a Floof knot.

A Mother’s Last Words – Inside the same house as the last note, this note is on a bedframe at the back of the house.

Everything Helps – When you enter Milltown, you’ll see a broken-down well to your left. Turn left past the well and look to your right. Enter the building missing a wall, and you’ll find this note on a box to your right, near a combat encounter.

A Father’s Job – After clearing the combat arena beyond the last note and watching Laurent’s memory, you’ll find this note in a building to the right of a big crane, next to two crossed saws forming an ‘X.’

A Penny Saved – This note is on the second floor of the sawmill, reached after collecting all four of Laurent’s memories. Use your grapple to cross a large gap outside the mill. Once inside, look left and push two bundles of wood to reveal the note on a table.

Maintaining Productivity – This final note is in the office beyond the previous one. You’ll also find a Floof knot here, near the note on a desk.
