These notes can be found in any order, and this list is in no particular order. Clearing out enemy camps along the way can make this easier, but for the most part it's a simple journey. Here are the five locations:

The first Researcher's Notes can be located at Suigetsu Pool, where the notes will be in a shaded area behind a rock and near a shrub. Reading it will give you progress on one out of the five notes you'll need for the achievement.

Suigetsu Pool is also full of treasure, so make sure to collect some while you are there.


2) The unnamed island south of Suigetsu Pool
