Alongside the Ancient Tablets, players can find five additional notes. These notes are not needed to receive the Serpent Follower Form.
Offering to the Owl[]
This note will appear in a room with Haro. If you are past the point of Haro appearing during your crusades, it will instead spawn inside a Meat Room. Chronologically, this note is after Ancient Tablet I.
"Great Hunter, we write this prayer and leave this offering in the hopes you will grant us triumph in our hunt. We vow to take no more than we need, and leave the brooding and the young. May we be swift and silent as you, Hunter." A prayer to the Hunter
Ripped Note[]
This note can be found in Monch's room, hidden behind the fire. Chronologically, this note is after Ancient Tablet V.
"We’ve been hiding for days. I’m hungry, but I’m too scared to leave this place, though the earth no longer shakes. I didn’t know the Bishops could bleed. The fifth… we dare not speak his name. Soon we won’t remember it. But he waits. He will always wait." Written in fear, covered in dirt
Lost Message I - III[]
These notes can be found in a Graveyard, a new location that falls under the "Question Mark" icon. The player must dig up the graves to find it.
I. "Found a herd. Taken care of. Let the Worm know I seek the next."
II. "One fled my blade. I will find it. The Bishops need not concern themselves. I do as I am told, and only as I am told."
III. "I found the last, hidden deep in the Lands. It followed me, silent, to the ritual grounds. When my task is at last complete, I will bury it with the others."
A torn letter, stained with blood.
Possible Interpretations[]
- The offering to the owl might refer to Haro, as it is found in the room with him, and it praises the "swift[ness] and silence" of the Hunter, something owls are well known for. Haro is referenced as "The Owl" in Tablet IX, and this prayer might imply that Haro was once a god, worshipped and venerated.
- The ripped note seems to be written by a scared follower who was there when the Bishops imprisoned Narinder and witnessed the aftermath of their wounds. The fight between the Bishops made the earth shake, and the writer is living in hiding with a group to escape their wrath. Despite seemingly being mortal (feeling things like hunger and hiding out in a group) and being close enough to witness the Bishops bleeding, they don't seem to refer to the Bishops as their gods, suggesting that the blind fanaticism of the Old Faith is a recent development. They seem to be very afraid of Narinder's vengeance in the afterlife, suggesting that they may have helped the Bishops ambush Narinder as a follower, before escaping when the Bishops turned on their followers in their anger.
- The Lost Message I speaks of a "Worm" possibly referring to Leshy. The herd could refer to a herd of sheep, slaughtered by the writer. The third letter could refer to The Lamb themself, the last of the sheep.
