Find all 127 Artifacts and 20 Journal Entries, for a total of 147 required collectibles. Artifacts are documents, notes, and other pieces of information found throughout both Ellie and Abby’s sections. You will commonly find them inside apartments and other buildings, sitting on furniture, attached to walls, near bodies, or tucked into explorable areas away from the main path. Journal Entries are exclusive to Ellie. These usually involve examining a notable object or location that prompts Ellie to add a drawing or note to her journal. There are collectibles all the way through the epilogue, so keep exploring even when you are approaching the end of the story. If you miss something, you can return through Chapter Select. Once you pick up a missing Artifact or complete a Journal Entry, the game saves the collectible progress, so you can quit back out afterward instead of finishing the entire chapter again.

Tip

Use Item Pulse in Listen Mode while thoroughly searching each area. Some locations contain several Artifacts packed surprisingly close together, so do not assume you are finished after finding just one. One hundred and forty-seven pieces of evidence that even after civilization ends, people will still leave notes absolutely everywhere.

Unlock Details

Find all 7 non-starting weapons across Ellie and Abby’s sections. Some weapons are obtained automatically through the story, while others are hidden and need to be collected manually. Ellie’s weapons: Pump Shotgun Seattle Day 1: Downtown Go to Westlake Bank and open the vault using: 60-23-06 The Pump Shotgun is on the body of a guard inside the vault. Bow Seattle Day 2: Hillcrest This weapon is story-related. After reaching the house with the playhouse in the backyard, enter the garage and defeat the infected that attacks you. Pick up the Bow from the corpse before continuing. Silenced Submachine Gun Santa Barbara: Pushing Inland This weapon is story-related and is given to you automatically during the chapter. Abby’s weapons: Hunting Pistol Seattle Day 1: On Foot After leaving the boat rental area and before dropping down to the railway tracks, look for a nearby building with a hole in the back wall. Enter and open the safe using: 17-38-07 The Hunting Pistol is inside. Double Barrelled Shotgun Seattle Day 1: Hostile Territory When you reach the strip of shops, enter the third shop on the left. Go upstairs, pass through the restaurant, and jump across the gap. Continue through the area, watching out for Clickers. At the end, turn left and follow the shop until you find a hole in the floor. Drop down and look behind the counter in the antiques-style shop to find the Double Barrelled Shotgun. Crossbow Seattle Day 1: The Coast This weapon is story-related and obtained automatically while progressing through the ferry. Flamethrower Seattle Day 2: The Descent After descending using the electrical cable, you will enter an infected nest. There are multiple Flamethrower pickups in this area. One reliable location is on a couch near 2 Clickers. Once all 7 weapons have been obtained, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Grab the Pump Shotgun and Hunting Pistol as early as possible. Both are hidden weapons and extremely useful for the rest of their respective campaigns. Seven weapons collected. Because apparently one apocalypse loadout was not enough.

Unlock Details

Find 12 Workbenches. There are 25 Workbenches in total throughout the game. This trophy is simply a halfway milestone on the way to Prepared For the Worst. You do not need to fully upgrade anything at these Workbenches. Once the game registers your 12th Workbench, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Interact with every Workbench you find anyway so you can spend Parts and keep making progress toward Mechanist and Arms Master. Twelve Workbenches down. Only thirteen more excuses to completely dismantle your guns in the middle of the apocalypse.

Unlock Details

Find all 8 Training Manuals in the game. There are 4 for Ellie and 4 for Abby. Each Training Manual unlocks a new skill tree, so collecting them is also required for Survival Expert and makes later combat much easier. Ellie’s Training Manuals: Crafting Training Manual Seattle Day 1: Downtown Go to the broken bridge around 6th and Marion. Use the hose on the fire truck to rappel down, then swing over to the nearby overturned truck. The Training Manual is inside. Stealth Training Manual Seattle Day 1: Capitol Hill Go to the bookstore opposite the gas station. Head into the back room. The Training Manual is on a small coffee table in the far corner. Precision Training Manual Seattle Day 2: Hillcrest After the first large combat area, you will reach a section with several shops. Enter the Goldstar Liquor basement and fight your way through until you emerge inside the toy store. The Training Manual is on the floor near the counter. Explosives Training Manual Seattle Day 2: The Seraphites Near the beginning of the chapter, pass the bar and enter the luxury apartments on the left through the basement. Make your way to the first floor and interact with the Workbench. This triggers an ambush from 4 deserters and opens the previously locked room they were hiding in. The Training Manual is inside that room. Abby’s Training Manuals: Covert Ops Training Manual Seattle Day 1: On Foot After leaving the large DIY store, Abby and Mel use a ladder to reach an opening near a hanging boat. Climb into the boat. The Training Manual is inside. Close Quarters Training Manual Seattle Day 1: Hostile Territory After separating from Manny and before entering Tang Fabrics, look for apartment number 85 across the way. Enter through the side window. The Training Manual is on the kitchen counter. Firearms Training Manual Seattle Day 1: The Forest After the one-on-one melee fight with the large axe-wielding enemy, continue into the garage. Exit the main garage, turn right, then turn right again into the small room at the end. The Training Manual is inside. Ordnance Training Manual Seattle Day 2: The Coast Reach the top deck and bridge of the large ferry. Open the safe using: 90-77-01 The final Training Manual is inside. Once all 8 have been collected, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Prioritize these even if you are not following a full collectible route. They unlock entire upgrade branches and are required before you can purchase every player upgrade for Survival Expert. Eight Training Manuals. Because apparently surviving Seattle requires a surprising amount of assigned reading.

Unlock Details

Find all 48 Trading Cards during Ellie’s sections of the game. Trading Cards are hidden throughout Ellie’s campaign and can be easy to overlook because many are tucked into small environmental details. Common places to check include shop shelves, drawers, notice boards, and other objects around abandoned buildings. Some are hidden in less obvious spots, including one attached to the spoke of a bicycle. There are also Trading Cards in the epilogue, so keep searching all the way through the end of the game. Once you collect all 48, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Turn on Item Pulse in the accessibility settings and use it while exploring. It makes these much easier to spot, especially the cards tucked into cluttered environments. Forty-eight cards. Naughty Dog clearly looked at every shelf in Seattle and asked, “Could we hide something here?”

Unlock Details

Find any 5 Coins during Abby’s sections of the game. There are 32 Coins in total, all of which are needed for Numismatist. If you are collecting them in order, you should reach 5 before leaving The Stadium during Abby’s Seattle Day 1. There are 4 Coins in The Stadium, and 1 earlier Coin is obtained automatically in The Park. Once your 5th Coin is collected, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Keep Item Pulse turned on during Abby’s sections. Coins are tiny and much easier to miss than most other collectibles. Five coins collected. Not enough to buy anything. Plenty enough for a trophy.

Unlock Details

Find all 32 Coins during Abby’s sections of the game. Each Coin is named after a U.S. state. You receive the first Coin automatically during The Park, after Ellie’s Seattle Day 3 section is complete. From that point on, the remaining Coins need to be found manually throughout Abby’s campaign. Because Coins are much smaller than Trading Cards, they can be harder to spot. They can appear in places such as registers, vending machines, fountains, parking structures, and other small environmental hiding spots. Some are placed in particularly sneaky locations, including one at the bottom of a swimming pool and another behind a glass window inside a parking garage booth. The final Coin is the Arkansas Coin during The Escape. Collect all 32 Coins and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Use Item Pulse constantly during Abby’s sections and thoroughly search indoor areas before moving on. Coins are small enough to disappear into the environment very easily. Thirty-two state coins. Apparently Abby’s apocalypse hobby is doing the world’s most dangerous version of collecting quarters.

Unlock Details

Find all 25 Workbenches throughout the game. Workbenches are where Ellie and Abby can spend Parts to upgrade their weapons, so most of them are placed along or close to the main path. A few are tucked farther out of the way, though, so keep exploring side rooms and optional areas as you move through each chapter. You do not actually need to use a Workbench for it to count. Simply getting close enough for the game to register it and change the HUD icon is enough. The final Workbench is found during the epilogue inside the enemy compound. Once all 25 have been discovered, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Interact with every Workbench anyway. You will need plenty of weapon upgrades for Mechanist and Arms Master, so you may as well spend those Parts while you are already there. Twenty-five Workbenches. At this point Ellie and Abby have probably spent more time modifying guns than most people spend fixing their kitchen.

Unlock Details

Find the Strange Artifact during Abby’s Seattle Day 1: Hostile Territory. Early in the chapter, Abby reaches a small strip of shops and restaurants while heading toward Owen. Enter the Ruby Dragon, which is the last shop on the left. Go upstairs and deal with the 2 Clickers. From the upper floor, sprint and jump across the gap to the buildings on the opposite side. After landing, head left and enter the building. Once inside, go right until you reach a room with a hole in the floor. Do not drop down yet. Turn around and look toward the coffee table in the corner. Pick up the Strange Artifact sitting there. It is actually a Precursor Orb from Jak and Daxter. The trophy will unlock immediately.

Tip

This also counts as a normal Artifact for Archivist, so grabbing it helps with two trophies at once. In a world full of infected and cultists, Abby somehow finds one of the most valuable objects in Naughty Dog history sitting on a coffee table.

Unlock Details

Open all 14 safes counted by the game. There is also a locked storage room in The Tunnels that uses a combination, but it is not counted in the safe statistics. The safe locations and combinations are: Jackson Patrol Supermarket 07-20-13 Seattle Day 1 - Ellie Downtown Westlake Bank Vault 60-23-06 Seattle Day 1 - Ellie Downtown West 02 Gate Safe 04-51 Seattle Day 1 - Ellie Downtown Courthouse 86-07-22 Seattle Day 1 - Ellie Capitol Hill Wellwishes Donation Center 55-01-33 Seattle Day 1 - Ellie The Tunnels Storage Room 15243 This one is not counted toward the 14 safe total. Seattle Day 2 - Ellie Hillcrest Auto Repairs Garage 30-82-65 Seattle Day 2 - Ellie The Seraphites Luxury Apartments 10-08-83 Seattle Day 2 - Ellie The Seraphites Weston Pharmaceuticals 38-55-23 Seattle Day 3 - Ellie The Flooded City Safe near the first gate while on the boat 70-12-64 Seattle Day 1 - Abby On Foot Gun Cache behind the Boat Rental building 17-38-07 Seattle Day 1 - Abby Hostile Territory Jasmine Bakery 68-96-89 Seattle Day 1 - Abby The Coast Shipwreck Ferry 90-77-01 Seattle Day 2 - Abby The Shortcut Apartment Building 30-23-04 Seattle Day 2 - Abby The Descent Hotel Safe 12-18-79 Open all 14 counted safes and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Always open safes when you find them. They often contain valuable ammo, Parts, Supplements, and other supplies that make the rest of the game much easier. Fourteen safes. Seattle apparently collapsed, but everyone still remembered to lock up their good stuff.

Unlock Details

Visit all 10 marked locations in Downtown Seattle during Ellie’s Seattle Day 1. Downtown is the largest open exploration section in the game. As Ellie discovers points of interest, they will appear on the map as question marks. You only need to visit each location for this trophy. You do not need to completely loot or clear them. The 10 required locations are: Westlake Bank Synagogue Ruined Building at the southern corner of Marion and 6th Security Truck in the water between Spring and Madison, and 6th and 7th Avenue Army Tent north of the Synagogue Gate West 2 Stash Valiant Music Shop Viewpoint Hotel Barko’s Pet Store Courthouse Once all 10 locations have been visited, the trophy will unlock. There are also a couple of optional spots worth exploring, including another Security Truck reached using the bridge and fire truck, plus the Tank.

Tip

Fully explore each location while you are there. Downtown contains plenty of collectibles and useful supplies, so clearing the map properly saves you from coming back later. Seattle Day 1 gives you a horse, a map, and ten places to explore. At that point, the apocalypse basically turns into tourism.

Unlock Details

Find the Engraved Ring during Ellie’s Seattle Day 1: Downtown. As soon as Downtown opens up, head to Westlake Bank. Clear out the infected inside, then make your way to the large vault door at the back. Enter the code: 60-23-06 Once inside the vault, go to the back-right corner and interact with the safe deposit box. Inside is the Engraved Ring. Pick it up and the trophy will unlock. The ring is a nod to Uncharted and Francis Drake’s ring, so this is one of Naughty Dog’s more obvious little winks.

Tip

Grab the Pump Shotgun while you are inside the bank too. It is in the same vault area and is one of the most useful early weapons you can pick up. A bank vault. A shotgun. A legendary ring. Not a bad detour.

Unlock Details

Find any 5 Trading Cards during Ellie’s sections of the game. There are 48 Trading Cards in total, and this trophy is simply an early milestone on the way to Master Set. If you are collecting everything as you go, you should reach your 5th card during Seattle Day 1: The Gate, around the bus stop on the way into Downtown.

Tip

Use Item Pulse while exploring so the smaller collectibles stand out more clearly against the environment. Five cards down. Only forty-three more opportunities for Naughty Dog to hide one somewhere mildly evil.
