How to Start In Pursuit of Purloined Propaganda
To begin the In Pursuit of Purloined Propaganda collectible quest, you’ll need to find one of the ten Science Adventures Quarterly periodicals scattered around Arcadia. Upon picking one up, the collectible quest will automatically start.
Finding the Science Adventures Quarterly Periodicals
Volume 1
Volume 1 of Science Adventures Quarterly can be found on a bed in one of the houses in Westport. The house is on the northwest side of the area, near the flooded zone.
Volume 2
One of the earliest periodicals can be found in the southern part of Paradise Island in Eden. To reach it, head south from the landing pad and continue past the Crabble Farm to the substation (which won’t be marked on the map). Climb onto the front porch of the substation to find Science Adventures Quarterly, Volume 2 of 10.
Volume 3
The Science Adventures Quarterly, Volume 3 of 10 can be found on a small table next to the faulty door northwest of Fairfield along the coast.
Volume 4
Volume 4 of Science Adventures Quarterly can be found on a dock, southeast of the Vox Relay. It will be resting on a table.
Volume 5
This issue can be found on a table next to a bed inside a small building at the farm, slightly northwest of Fairfield.
Volume 6
You can find the Science Adventures Quarterly, Volume 6 of 10, near the Paradise Island landing pad. Starting there, head northeast, following along the water, and swing to the right with it. This will bring you to a building on the water filled with people fishing.
Head inside to find volume 6 on one of the beds.
Volume 7
To find Volume 7, you’ll need to travel to a small farming settlement, west of the Vox Relay. It will be in the smaller house on a desk.
Volume 8
Volume 8 of Science Adventures Quarterly can be found in the top room of the Crabbing Tower, located on the western part of Paradise Island, west of the landing pad. You can reach it by heading south of the landing pad and following the path around the island clockwise.
When you arrive, follow the porch to the left side, where you’ll find a ladder. Use that to reach the top and enter the small room to find Science Adventures Quarterly, Volume 8 of 10.
Volume 9
This issue can be found on a bed inside a building to the south of Sovereign’s Sweet Spire Grove. Simply enter the building through the side entrance and eliminate the three Juvenile Raptidons that will charge out.
Volume 10
This edition can be found on a small table beside a chair on the deck along the northwestern edge of Paradise Island.
Locate Redactor Quesnel
Redactor Quesnel can be found at her house in the hills of Paradise Island, west of Fairfield, when heading towards the Ministry of Accuracy.
Speak with her there and hand over one of the periodicals. She’ll then tell the Commander that an entire set of Science Adventure Quarterly was stolen from her and is now scattered around the island. Quesnel will then ask you to recover them for her in exchange for oddities and bits.
