Haiku Lore Reading Locations | 29 Points, Entrances, and Required Abilities

Added main story, full collection tables, additional areas/modes, and lore locations · Updated 2026-10-13

This is an entrance-and-ability guide to reaching reading points, not a reproduction of dialogue. Records cover fixed normal-layout locations; no claim is made that all Corrupt lore uses the same locations.

29 documented reading points

L numbers are this guide's check IDs. Scene and x/y in the final column identify locations within rooms, not in-game map coordinates or walkable distances. Prioritize room names and entrance directions when exploring.

Required abilities apply when using the listed entrance. Needing no additional ability after entry does not mean the entrance is reachable early.

Entrances to one room may have different heights

The World Map monitor room is not entered backward from the right. The upper entrance from TV Boss requires ball form; the lower-left entrance is a separate connection.

At Amplifying Transputer's room, the high laboratory-side entrance lets you reach the upper terminal with Bulblet. The low entrance requires the ball passage, and the chip's acquisition requirements differ from the lore's.

Lower Water requires light plus wall climbing or double jump. At Helmet Crawlers' shelter, return to the high reading point after Jump Booster to read without assuming special bomb jumps.

Check Archives and the return passage

L14 at the Archives entrance and L15–17 inside at the west, west-center, and east total 4 points. Advance Verse's event after Virus. Check display differences on post-ending revisits separately from simple map-location counts.

Old Arcadia's L29 lies on the return route: Gallery of Bosses elevator → passage 246 → Bunker 56. A connection closed from the Bunker side on your first visit is not assumed passable just because it looks nearby.

29 locations versus all lore and 339 cells

Fixed-location records contain document IDs 0–27 and 29. An older progression definition notes Lore 28 at the start, but that entry is absent from the current location record. No hypothetical 30th point is invented, nor is 29 renumbered to fill 28.

L24's regional landmark, starting-point 28's location/current display, post-ending display differences, and all Corrupt changes remain unconfirmed. Collecting 29 points is not described as completing all lore text, all 339 map cells, or wall geometry.

Coverage and unverified points

Added 32 progression/revisit stages, main collection tables, and 29 normal-layout lore reading points with entrance requirements. Lore 28's location, L24's regional landmark, all display differences, every passage/wall across 339 cells, enemy HP/attack frames, and lore text are not included.
Sources disagree on Quatern's chip/fragment reward thresholds, Lune's poem count, and the older area text's red-skull price. No fixed thresholds are asserted: finish dialogue after all 24 Power Cells, hear every poem, and use the dedicated shop price of 750 for the skull.
Separates 40 normal achievements from 8 additions and checks the 2 added stations in normal mode too. Added Corrupt's 16 relocations/23 temporary health points, spare-parts uses without merchants, a PC record's saving cost of 100, and Atom's 3 phases. All chips/cells/platform-specific costs in that mode, all modified trial HP, and no-hit procedures remain uncovered. The normal 28-chip list is not copied as a complete Corrupt list.
Competitor prose, translated full chapters, map layouts, game screens, and sprites are not reproduced. Internal verification distinguishes text readable in the public browser from originals that could not be obtained due to native 403 responses.
