All DATA-BIOS and Audio Logs Guide – The Callisto Protocol

The main collectibles in The Callisto Protocol also helps you fill in what happened to Black Iron and the people in it. DATA-BIOS are audio logs scattered throughout the game, often in hidden or hard-to-reach locations. Your inventory screen contains a helpful level-by-level database to access the audio logs, and to show you how many you’ve collected out of the total. But knowing is only half the battle!

This guide exists to help you figure out where each of those DATA-BIOS actually is. It has been organized into this general guide, in order to help you broadly find each one, and into several sub-guides with more detailed solutions and helpful pictures on where to find them.


  • Jacob Lee – Jacob’s Job: As soon as you take control of Jacob, continue forward until the on-screen tutorial tells you how to open doors. Then, go to the first door on your left, around the corner, and open the locker in front of you to find Jacob’s log.


  • Dr. Caitlyn Mahler – Mahler’s Appointment: The first DATA-BIOS is a significant way into the level. After you’ve snuck past the security robot, you’ll end up in a “Surgery M112”. Past the table and the fusebox, sitting on a piece of metal in the corner is Dr. Caitlyn Mehler’s first audio log.

  • Elias Porter – Elias’s Anticipation: Once you end up back in the wide-open panopticon section of the prison, you can continue along the hall until you end up back to Elias Porter’s cell. This will be near some stairs, shortly after going through a door labeled “Cellblock 25 P250”.

  • Cpt. Leon Ferris – Ferris’s Lament: After encountering Cpt. Leon Ferris in the guard tower at the end of the level, the DATA-BIOS is sitting on the table in the center of the room with the panopticon hologram.

  • Sgt. Eric Jane – Locked Door: This is on the corpse of a guard near a broken robot near the beginning of the level. You will need to get this DATA-BIOS to progress through the door to Laundry B202.

  • Ofc. Pruitt Matos – Laundry: After gaining access to Laundry B202, you’ll come to a branching path at the end of the room. Go to the right, then continue through the area until you get to Office B112, where you can harvest Pruitt’s DATA-BIOS from his corpse.

  • Duncan Cole – Secret Room 1: To access this Audio Log, you’ll need to find Cole’s secret room. After going through the door opposite the laundry door you entered to find Ofc. Pruitt Matos’s DATA-BIOS, go down the ramp and continue down the hallways until you reach Workshop B415. Go through the vent on your right, then follow its path until you reach a squeezable gap. Go through it, and you can find Cole’s Audio Log at the end of the room on a desk.

  • Dr. Ewan Hayes – MedLab Outbreak: Dr. Ewan’s DATA-BIOS will be on his corpse, shortly after you reach the medical area, on the floor directly after a door you need to pry open. It is hard to miss.
