In brief

Chapter 1 of Halloween: The Game hides two Loomis Journals to uncover, but the game doesn't point you in the right direction. The first one is found in the bathroom of the bar before pursuing the fleeing biker, the second at the gas station near the garage. Careful exploration of locations off the main path becomes necessary to collect them all.

As you follow Michael Myers' journey, gradually becoming what he is after his escape from the sanatorium, keep an eye out for collectibles. Chapter 1 hides two Loomis Journals to add to your collection. This chapter is bigger than it seems if you just stick to the tutorial: here are the areas to explore in order to get both of them.

Loomis Journal #1

The level begins outside a bar, where Michael attacks a group of bikers, both outside and inside. Once nearly all the bikers have been eliminated, a cutscene shows one of them coming out of the restroom and discovering the carnage. As he flees, the game prompts you to chase this last biker.

Before leaving the bar, head to the restroom hallway and enter the room on the left. A resident is there: you can kill him. On the dresser, the collectible is marked by a small circle placed on the furniture. Select "Pick up item" to grab it. You can then resume chasing the biker.

Loomis Journal #2

Once outside, a new cutscene shows the biker fleeing, then a mechanic. Before chasing him, take the time to explore the town. Across from the auto garage is a gas station.

Inside the gas station, you'll find an office with the collectible you're looking for sitting on the table. Pick it up to add it to your collection.

Checking your recordings

These collectibles are recordings. Once the level is completed, you can listen to them by going to the Cemetery menu from the main menu. Scroll to the tape on the left to see everything you've collected and get more information on each collectible in your possession.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly is the first Loomis Journal located?
In the bar bathroom hallway, enter the room on the left, eliminate the resident and look for the circle on the vanity. Select 'Pick Up Item' to collect it.
Is the second Journal easy to find?
No, you need to explore the gas station on the other side of the auto garage, then enter the office where the collectible sits on the table. The game will naturally push you to chase the mechanic elsewhere if you don't linger.
How do you listen to the Loomis Journals after finding them?
Complete the chapter, return to the main menu, select the Cemetery menu and scroll to the cassette on the left to view your recordings.
Can you miss these collectibles?
Yes, if you only follow the main path and marked objectives. Real exploration of the buildings and adjacent areas becomes necessary to get both of them.

Key takeaways

  • The first Loomis Journal is found on the vanity in the bar bathroom, not by following the tutorial to the letter
  • The second collectible awaits you inside the gas station office, accessible by exploring beyond the garage
  • The Journals are audio recordings you can listen to in the Cemetery menu once the level is complete
  • A real treasure hunt: these collectibles force you to explore and stray from the game's marked path
