Step-by-step guide
- Unlock Esquie’s Flight ability: This ability allows you to fly across the world map and reach hidden locations. It is acquired after completing Monolith Peak, right after defeating the two Axons.
- Travel to The Canvas: Once you can fly, head to The Canvas, a floating island southwest of Monolith Peak’s entrance. Inside, interact with the large painting to obtain the Manor Family Canvas, a key mission item.
- Enter the mansion: Access the Manor through any entrance. Go upstairs and look at the right side of the staircase. You’ll notice an empty picture frame on the wall.
- Place the Manor Family Canvas: Interact with the frame and place the painting inside. A message will confirm that a new door has opened.
- Find the hidden study: The unlocked door leads to the study, located at the end of the central hallway. Inside, you’ll discover the Unknown Journal (3), revealing new lore about the mansion.
What does this reveal?
The Unknown Journal (3) contains critical details about the mansion’s former inhabitants and their connection to the lost expedition members. It’s one of the most significant hidden entries, offering clues about the true fate of several explorers mentioned in fragmented notes found across the game.
For players aiming to fully complete Expedition 33, unlocking this study is essential.
