The character notes are unlocked by being defeated by enemies. Like, ending a run and losing to 'em.
Thanks for the compliments!
Then I may be experiencing another bug, as I’ve been trying to unlock the character notes for the SPI-WARE, and I’ve ended a run to them many times while trying to unlock them. I’ve even tried using the two I know of in the first level as the last two enemies to end my run.
Do you need to be marked to get the Notes?
apologies for the inconvenience
Just to make things as clear as possible...:
3/4 parts of each enemy's Codex entry is unlocked by defeating them and gathering Data Logs.
The last part, the purple 'player notes' is unlocked by being defeated by them and gaining their mark.
If that's not showing up for you then yes, we'll investigate further into it and see if it's a bug.
