Lore Entries
By FlukeRogi and 1 collaborators
A list of the available lore entries, and which characters you can get them from. You need to collect 45 of them to earn the achievement "The Scholar". The below list currently contains 61 entries.

Note that at the time of writing, this achievement isn't awarded until near the very end of the game, immediately after you've defeated the green flame. This means that although you can talk to several NPCs afterwards and get some missed lore entries, they might not count as the achievement requirement check only appears to be done at a very specific point.

Note that some entries are only availble during certains branches of conversation, and some are only available once at a specific point in the game.

This will probably get more fleshed out over time.

could you please rearrage this guide by missable entries or just list missable entries in separate section? It's hard to search by.

Thank you for this guide.
It's the worst achievement though because of the missables.

Perhaps you could section or give note to all missable entries to make it easier to keep track of them?

Thanks for the guide though.
