Intro (Special Thanks!)
Special thanks to oleyisus as their guide originally helped me find all of these. Now, why am I making a guide of my own? Well mine has pictures, and I'm gonna go more in depth I think. Again, thanks to oleyisus!

Extra Information: You can also check your logs on the terminal and look for the one you're missing, so I titled each one the log title (Again, with oleyisus's help). Hope this guide helps you! (Also if any of these text logs are behind a keypad door or something, you can look at Tom_Videogre's or Cotton's guides for help.)

Along with this, you also must autosave after collecting the text log, if you die before an autosave you must collect it again! Be careful!
Text Log #1 (Mail - Aug 3rd)
Beginning of the game outside of the building, go to the left to a gate and it'll be there.
Text Log #2 (Power)
After the opening show, it's in the hallway leading to the security office. (The one with the generator!)
Text Log #3 (Group Chat #1 & Group Chat #2)
After you use the crank and avoid the first encounter with the mimic in the elephant you will arrive in the main hallway, and immediately there is a mailbox, next to a collectible!
Text Log #4 (@#*$^%A)
When in the welcome lobby, in the area with the elevator, you can go through a vent and a path will be opened up once you fix the elevator, allowing you to go through the vents, drop through a hole,


and the text log will be there.
Text Log #5 (Love That Ticket Booth!)
Once you arrive at the showroom lounge, you'll see the mail at a reception desk to the left!

Text Log #9 (We Need To Go)
Workshop, downstairs, below the previous one.

Text Log #11 (Projector Issues)
Backstage, after going through one section in the spring-lock suit and arriving in a big empty room, it's right in front of you. It's next to a terminal, an audio log, and an inventory system.
Text Log #12 (Moving On!)
Backstage, after you successfully cross he bridge, it is behind the thing that will take the spring-lock suit to the next section, the theater.

Text Log #17 (4 of "Return Letter")
After going through the hallway, get to the manager's office area, then turn right, there will be an admin locked door with an audio log and text log inside.
Text Log #18 (Theater - Anyone Seen Gary?)
In the backstage area, you can go down from the crane puzzle and unlock an admin locked door. Personally, I got here by going through the workshop, and using the theater elevator to the right that requires an admin, this will bring you to this exact room. It's also next to a collectible.
Text Log #19 (Group Chat #3)
In the loading bay, there's a mailbox right next to the controls for the second crane puzzle.
Text Log #20 ( Chica's Party World )
After beating the second crane puzzle, arrive in a hallway and go right to an admin locked door. A mailbox will be in there.
Text Log #21 (*@#&^$&%)
From where you entered (The loading bay, second crane puzzle), turn left and go down that hall. If you got the last text log, you can just go straight down to the other side of the hall.
Text Log #22 (Have You Heard Fiona? )
After going to the admin wing door and going down the elevator, look behind you and you'll see a big red garage-looking door, go through it and turn right, there will be a mailbox.
Text Log #23 (Waste Of Money)
Next to the big Admin Wing door.
Spoilers for Chica and the Cupcake section past this point!
Text Log #24 (Admin - Dec 1st - 8:00 AM)
Go to the admin wing and in the cupcake admin entrance room, go forward a little and the mailbox is on the right next to a locker.
Text Log #25 (Admin - Dec 6th - 4:00 PM)
Still in the admin wing, in the cupcake room, go left, then take another left, you'll see the mailbox next to a keypad door.
Text Log #26 (Admin - Dec 1st - 12:00 PM & Admin - Dec 1st - 12:15 PM & Admin - Dec 1st - 12:30 PM)
From the previous text log, turn right, and in that cubicle will be a mailbox.
Text Log #27 (Admin - Dec 3rd - 3:05 PM & Admin - Dec 3rd - 3:20 PM)
In the cupcake room, follow the left path, once you reach the admin locked room, turn left and there's a mailbox.
Text Log #28 (Admin - Dec 5th - 5:00 AM)
After getting that mailbox, turn around and go left to the new area that leads to a long narrow open hallway. At the end of this hallway, is a door that automatically opens for you, it has a mailbox inside.
Text Log #29 (Admin - Dec 2nd - 4:13 AM & Admin - Dec 2nd - 4:18 AM)
Exit the hallway out of the open area and turn to the left, then to the right, there will be a mailbox there.
Text Log #30 (Admin - Dec 4th - 8:19 PM & Admin - Dec 4th - 8:34 PM & Admin - Dec 4th - 10:00 PM)
Now ignore the stairs for a second and keep going straight from the last one, then to your left will be a mailbox (Also I swear the cupcake here is impossible to not detect, so get ready to hide, as this section has had no autosaves so far!) (Side Note: all the mailboxes so far in this room were giving a code on how to get into a room that has a collectible! Try to figure it out, or look at another guide by Cotton!)
Text Log #31 (Please Advise)
Now, still in the admin wing, go up the stairs, and unlock the admin locked door, keep going forward where the Clean-O-Vac is and take a right, where you'll see Mrs. Helpful, and a log behind a desk.
Text Log #32 (@#$#*%^)
Now, instead when you go down that hallway turn right, or go straight from where Mrs. Helpful is, in that room with be a log next to a vent.
Text Log #33 (Staff Contacts)
Go through the vent from the previous log, then in this room where you get executive access, the mailbox will be there!
Text Log #34 ( 01010011 01000001 01000100 + 01101000 01110101 01110010 01110100 )
Go through the executive locked door, which is the executive office, there is a mailbox to the right back corner.
Text Log #35 (Locators)
After taking the elevator to Basement 2, go forward and turn to the left, the mailbox is on the right wall, across from a terminal and audio log.
Text Log #36 (So Bored!)
After exiting the white tiger dark area , go through the exit to the elevator, once you get up the elevator, you'll be in a hallway that takes you to the main security office, at the end to your right in a corner will be the mailbox!
Text Log #37 (Confidential)
This log is within a keypad room, you could find the code earlier, when you came into the security office for the first time after beating the Big Top Music Man Guy (I think), it would show on the monitors and you would be able to put in the code. (Correction: the monitors give you the code after you fall through the floor after the Jackie boss fight, according to Eve, thanks for thr correction! ) But, the code is 26294
In this area, there is a room to your left with a film inside, but if you keep going straight, through a creator locked door, you'll be on the other side of a gate, and there'll be a collectible. Now keep going forward and a door will automatically open, another bathroom. In this bathroom, will be an executive locked door. In this door will be the log.
Text Log #38 (7 Of "Retail")
Go to the Welcome Lobby, the place after the beginning show (Also the place with the Clean-O-Vac statue and elevator to Showrooms), and go up the left stairs, then forward, straight ahead, will be the Retail Showroom, here, go down the stairs and the mimic will spawn, then turn right and go down to the other area, here will be a mailbox in the right corner next to a terminal.
Text Log #39 (Night Shift)
In the Basement 1, which is the keypad door just to the right of the previous log. You can find the solution to this code when you originally left the hallway where Text Log #36 was, on a monitor that changes between some numbers. The code is 5 digits. You can also find the solution earlier at the monitors when you first entered the Retail Showroom from the Welcome Lobby, by going through the admin door to your left and looking at the multiple monitors there. The code is 80625
In this room is an elevator, which will take you to the Basement 1, where there is a silly little guy walking around down here hunting you. Simply take the star doll, go to the right, insert it, and go in that room and turn right, a log will be there.



Once again, there is also a puzzle down here you can solve for a collectible. (Collecting 4 puzzle pieces on all 4 corners of this area using the star, to complete a connect puzzle in the middle, figure it out if you'd like.)
Text Log #40 ( Springlocks )
(YOU CAN ONLY GET HERE IF YOU CHOOSE TO RUN "Parachute.exe" AND TAKE THAT PATH!)

In the Research & Development/Prototype Freddy's Area , use the spring-lock suits to drain the power, then go to the room to the left, with prototype bonnie. Go through the vents connected to the bathrooms now, and you'll end up in an open room, which will have a log. (This is also the room with Fredbear in it.
Text Log #41 ( 01001000 01001111 01001101 01000101 )
(YOU CAN ONLY GET HERE IF YOU CHOOSE TO RUN "Parachute.exe" AND TAKE THAT PATH!)
Right before you take the ride to the main house, after you talk to F10 N4.
Text Log #42 ( Received: 5 Min Ago )
(YOU CAN ONLY GET HERE IF YOU CHOOSE TO RUN "Parachute.exe" AND TAKE THAT PATH!)

In the Main House, go to the keypad locked door, which is upstairs and to your left. To find the code, go around collecting films, at the end of watching each, will be a number. which allows you to piece together the code

The code is 45192 (According to some this code is different for everyone, so I guess it's RNG actually?)

How to figure it out: (I figured it out on accident by deciding which ones would be in chronological order, based on when Fiona died and Edwin made her as a robot and David's age , but it is simply by looking at the colors of the "David" on the wall during his birthday, which you can see on the yellow film or on the wall next to the keypad door. The colors line up with the films individual colors. Piece together the colors and the corresponding film that shows a number when it's finished playing.)

Put the code into the keypad door, and the log will be next to a terminal, when you go upstairs and turn right.

Here are the five film locations, if you are having trouble getting them (Only directions, no pictures, sorry!):

Turn around from looking at the executive door and look to your right, there will be a door closest to you, turn right and go into the other room, in that room to your left will be a vent. Keep going forward and you'll see the film cabinet.

Now, on the left side of the building will be a room with a vent in it, with another film cabinet at the end of it. It is across from the previous room.

Now, from inside the executive locked door, go right to another executive locked door, go forward and right and there will be a film cabinet.

Now, go upstairs and to the right, straight ahead will be a cabinet.

Now, from the previous room, stay upstairs and go right to the other side of the building, go to the room to your left, and there will be a film cabinet there. (By the way, just one more room over is a collectible.)
Complete! Finished! Finally Done! (Outro)
Now you have all of the text logs. Remember, you can do this in a New Game+, it will save your progress from your previous run.

Sorry for all the pictures, but some of these are really tricky, so I hope they helped. Read some of the logs if you want some nice lore stuff.

Let me know if you're having issues, and I hope this helped.

Te3d  [author] 1 Jul @ 12:45am 
Sorry this is a late response, but yup! Go up to the mailboxes, which will give you a prompt to put the data diver in and twist it, wait until it says "No Mail" which means you've gotten the mail, and then it'll appear in your text logs. So yes, they do give you the text logs!
