South of Midnight Chapter 11 has 10 collectibles: 1 Pattern, 8 Readables, and 1 Storybook. The Storybook is automatically collected as you progress through the story, but you’ll need to locate the 8 Readables yourself. Below is a walkthrough to help you find them.

1/8 – An Anguished Cry
2/8 Stowaway’s Tin Box
3/8 – Bill of Fare
4/8 – Old Pain, New Life
5/8 – A Bittersweet Reunion
6/8 – False Knowledge
7/8 – Captain’s Log
8/8 – A Final Message

1. Follow Honey

After waking up at Honey’s home, follow them and watch the “scream” in the distance. Continue along the path until you reach a root bridge. Instead of crossing the root, head straight into the cave ahead. Follow the cave path to the top, where you’ll find a Floof.

1/8 – An Anguished Cry – Readables Collectible in South of Midnight

Head back to the main path, where you’ll find four explosive mushrooms on a dock and some Honey in the back. Destroy the mushrooms and cross the dock. Just past the mushrooms, at the base of the roots footpath, you’ll see the first Readables collectible drawn on a rocky wall.

Climb up the ledge to the right of this Readables drawing and follow the path to the back. There’s a burrow. Use it with Crouton to retrieve the Floof. It’s a dangerous path with Flytraps and thorns.

Follow the Roots Pathway and keep moving forward. Honey will create a grapple point for Hazel—use it to reach the ledge above.

2. Clear the Stigma on the Corrupted Boat in South of Midnight

Hazel will come across an area with a Stigma that needs to be cleared. Follow the path over the Flytrap to reach the boat. After crossing the Flytrap, look to the right of the roots path to find a Floof near the water.

Follow the path of roots upward, being careful to avoid the explosive mushrooms along the way. Once there, Hazel can board the boat to deal with the Stigma. After unraveling it, leave the boat and re-enter further up on the deck, where you’ll find a Floof hidden behind some overgrowth.

Interact with the bunny on the nearby sofa, then head through the passage with the explosive mushrooms. Take the staircase to reach the second Stigma area. The knot for this one is hidden—check the barricaded wall at the end of the room. Break through the passage and send Crouton inside to destroy the Stigma.

Before leaving, make sure to investigate this room. There is a Floof here.

2/8 – Stowaway’s Tin Box – Readables Collectible

In the same room as the Floof is also Readables Collectible 2/8 on the table.

3/8 – Bill of Fare – Readables Collectible

Leave this deck and follow the roots path to the next deck, where Hazel recalls the boat disappearing over a century ago. In this dark room, you’ll find Readables collectible 3/8 on top of one of the tables.

Exit the boat to the deck on the other side of the room, where you can walk to the right to find a Floof behind a barricade.

Go to the top of the boat to clear the third Stigma. This will fill the first part of the bottle.

3. Rendez-vous with Honey

Before meeting Honey, take a look around the top deck. You’ll find a Floof down a small staircase.

Summon a nearby root to cross over and leave the boat. Follow the path down to meet Honey but also Altamaha-ha. Escape the Mudfall by following the path, avoiding her mud.

4. Reach the Island

After the Mudfall sequence, look to the right to spot a Floof on a small island. Head over to collect it.

On the far side of the previous Floof Island, use the two Flytraps to cross over. There, you’ll find a burrow for Crouton. Send Crouton through the burrow to collect more Floof.

Go back to the main path, where Honey will fix a bridge. Cross the bridge to reach another Stigma area.

5. Clear the Stigma Further Down the Swamp

Once the Stigma is cleared, start exploring the area. From the repaired bridge, head down the path to the right to find a flippable metal sheet.

Health Filament in Chapter 11 South of Midnight

From the flippable metal sheet, find the root path leading upward. Follow it carefully, avoiding the thorns, to reach the Health Filament at the end in Chapter 11 of South of Midnight. You can drop down from the top to reach the Stigma area again.

At the other side of the Stigma area is another Floof right next to a burrow. Pick up the Floof and send Crouton through the burrow to collect some more.

4/8 – Old Pain, New Life – Readables Collectible

Look for a ghost drawing in this area—it’s the 4th of 8 Readables collectibles.

Exit the area towards the building, over a wooden path. Turn left at the bottom to clear an overgrowth and find a Floof high up at the end of a root path.

Now, destroy the Stigma in this area.

6. Reach the Boat

Before moving forward with the story, take some time to explore the Stigma area. Look for a root you can summon, which will let you access another path of roots. This path leads to a few explosive mushrooms and grapples. Use the grapples to reach the building nearby, where you’ll find a Floof.

Go back down the roots path you came from and look below. You’ll see another Floof—glide down to grab it.

5/8 – A Bittersweet Reunion – Readables Collectible

Head back to the former Stigma area to find Readables collectible 5/8. Look for a ghost drawing on a rock wall just before taking the wooden path to the next story area.

After another mud attack, Honey will create a path for Hazel to move to the boat.

7. Clear the Stigma on the Corrupted Boat

On the boat, look for a barrier to enter the boat.

6/8 – False Knowledge – Readables Collectible

Destroy the barrier and enter. In this room, find another ghost drawing on the wall. This is Readable Collectible 6/8.

Exit the boat at the other side and use the ledge with the thorns to reach the higher deck. Walk all the way to the right of the outer deck, where you can find a Floof.

Do the same on the other side. Walk all the way to the left of the outer deck to find a Floof.

Get in the boat and cross to the other side. You’ll find an elevator that Hazel wants to activate, but it’s blocked by Stigma. On the other side, look for a burrow where Crouton can destroy the Stigma.

Hazel can now take the elevator to the next floor, where there is a Floof in the wheelhouse.

7/8 – Captain’s Log – Readables Collectible

Next to the ship’s wheel is Readables collectible 7/8 on the table.

Before leaving this deck, have a look around to the left to find a Floof.

Leave the deck through the ship’s wheel and climb up a root to reach the boat’s roof. Once there, you’ll face a Stigma.

8. Clear the Tangle

After the chase sequence, Hazel needs to reach the bottle tree and escape another mud attack. Then, follow the roots up to the Tangle to untangle it. This will grant you the last pattern collectible, “Altamaha-ha / Honey Island Swamp Monster”.

9. Follow Honey

Follow the path after the tangle, where Hazel realizes that Honey is the lost baby. Keep following the path past the explosive mushrooms and thorny bushes until Honey sees his mom and goes towards her.

10. Follow Mahalia

Mahalia, the ghost Weaver, appears once more, and Hazel decides to follow her.

8/8 – A Final Message – Readables Collectible

Here, on the path, written on a tree is the last Readables collectible of Chapter 11: Muddy Waters in South of Midnight.

Go to the end of the dock and pick up Mehalia’s lantern to complete Chapter 11.
