The Audio Diary Guide

There are a total of 122 Audio Diaries scattered throughout the game. They let you hear multiple stories played out as you progress in an audio format, which greatly deepens the story behind the city of Rapture. This list is in the same order as the BradyGames Signature Series Guide. The reason for this is that if you've already been using another guide and are using this one, you'll easily be able to tell what you've missed and where you are. For the most part they're also in chronological order. I apologize for the blurryness of the in-game text in the photos, it's simply due to my subpar recording equipment. Click on the Location link for a picture of the Audio Diary in game (crosshairs usually on the Audio Diary), click on the Overhead Map link for an Overhead Map of that area with the Audio Diaries labeled. I recommend printing off or using the Overhead Map and using the text/Location descriptions if you just can't find one.
