There are 8 Ex Oblivione documents to collect in New Game Plus, starting in Apartment 6 and ending in the final portal room.
The route passes through the Library Annex, Devil’s Reef Hotel, the asylum, and Arkham Fish Market before reaching the final section. Several documents are tucked inside side rooms or back corners away from the main path.
