Halo Wars 2: All Phoenix Logs Locations | Complete Collectibles Guide

You’ll find more than just skulls in Halo Wars 2 thanks to the inclusion of “Phoenix Logs”, a different sort of collectible that’s scattered all across the campaign. Instead of mutators that change the game, these simpler unlocks provide some backstory to the proceeding. There are 24 in total, and we’ve got all the places you’ll need to look below.

Most Phoenix Logs are a pick-up, available as you lead your armies to victory, but a select few require completing in-game challenges to unlock. Many of these collectibles are practically unmissable, but as you progress, more logs will be hidden off the beaten path.

You’ll need to search every nook-and-cranny of the map to unlock these bad boys, and for once there isn’t really an achievement connected to collection. You will need to find all the logs if you want to complete every campaign challenge, though.
