In Pursuit of the Past Walkthrough
You need to collect Elven Notes for the Storyteller to learn more about his past. (The quest requires 20 notes. There are 21 notes in total, including the final "secret" note in Threshold.)
As you collect and return notes to the Storyteller, he will share the secrets of his past and how his ancient research is closely tied to the nature of the Worldwound.
Once you return 20 notes to the Storyteller, his story will reach a resolution and the quest is marked as completed. However, if you find all 21 Elven Notes, including the final note in Threshold (and return to the camp outside Threshold to give him the note before fighting Imezlen), the Storyteller will tell you a tale about Areelu Vorlesh and how she learned to open the Worldwound. He'll give you a Blank Page, which will lower the skill check requirements to decipher the Lexicon of Paradox, which is required for the secret Ending.
Elven Notes Locations
| Act | Location | Details |
| Act 1 | Gray Garrison | The notes are on a table in the northern library on the second floor. |
| Act 2 | Conundrum Unsolved | The notes can be retrieved from a secret room that opens once the puzzle in this area is solved. |
| Act 2 | Inconspicuous Camp | A random encounter on the way to Drezen will allow you to find a handwritten note inviting you to the Inconspicuous Camp. Once there, you'll find the elven note in a bag next to the kobold Crinukh. |
| Act 3 | Temple of the Good Hunt | The notes here can be found in a crate in the northeastern room. You do not need to go into the basement. |

| Act 3 | Molten Scar | You can obtain a page called "Page Smeared with Blood and Soot" from the Vrock in this location. If you can talk down the Vrock with bluff or intimidate, you can take the page directly to the storyteller. Otherwise, if you kill the Vrock, you will need to correctly describe the ritual when giving the page to the storyteller. The correct choices are: "The center of the magic shape was a prisoner", "It looked like a small rift was opened to the Abyss", and "They repeated the word “Ravukh”" |

In Pursuit of the Past Tips & Tricks
- The conclusion of this quest is closely tied to the conclusion of The Secrets of Creation, and if you complete both quests, you'll receive a special ending slide related to the Storyteller and his companion.
AnonymousThere are a total of 19 notes to complete the Storyteller's quest "Pursuit of the Past". If and only If you get all 19, and turn them in will the 20th Threshhold note appear. Worked for me fine just last night on PS5.

they say you don't need every note, but the only one i don't have is the threshold one and the quest is still active. about to beat the game for the 3rd time and every time his end slide is, "he continues to wander aimlessly." using the glossary reveals that "you didn't help him find the pages." i guess it's just another broken quest.

Why do i keep coming here to this site, this guide is garbage. Its incomplete and there's no basic information like how many notes are there and how many are needed to completely lower the skill check needed, which is the information that people are here for.
weird, i got the story teller knowledge without the Threshold note. deciphered the lexicon and everything.
