The manuscripts are collectible texts scattered across the time periods of The Adventures Of Elliot, and together they flesh out the history, characters, and lore that underpin the world. They're easy to miss, hidden in side rooms, optional dungeons, and remote corners of the map throughout various time periods during the main story.
Once you've tracked it down, you can sit down and read it during the Age of Safekeeping at Huther's Orphanage. This will be a natural home for anyone looking to piece the whole story together. The table below lists all the manuscripts that appear in the game, at what age you can find them, and where exactly they are hidden.
