Most Collectibles are missable! Collect them in chronological order as you go through the game. You can getmost of them on your first playthrough, only some Recipes, Weapons, and Customizable Parts require additional Playthroughs and will be listed at the end of the guide.
While Key Items are not tied to any trophy or achievement, they are often required to reach a collectible and to advance the story. This Collectible Guide is written in a Walkhrough format with all important Key Items and Puzzle Solutions included. This will help you get through the first playthrough with ease. Below all trophy-relevant collectibles are color-coded. The ones that aren’t directly tied to trophies are in black.

You can collect everything on easy difficulty (Casual) to make it easier. All your Collectible Progress carries over to New Game+. After beating the story the game asks you to make a Completed Story Save. Do this and reload that Save from the Main Menu to enter New Game+. You also keep all your money, all weapon upgrades, all crafting materials and everything else in your inventory.

You can track your Collectible Progress from the Challenges Menu, but it’s only available after beating the story one time! So if you didn’t get one of the Collectible Trophies you can check after the story what you missed. In New Game+ open the Pause Menu click “Challenges” and scroll down to see the counter on each Challenge. “Heretic” tracks the Goats, “Veteran Gunsmith” tracks Customizable Weapon Parts, “Artisan” tracks Recipes, “Bookworm” tracks Files.

Files can also be tracked by opening the Journal (Touchpad on PS4/PS5) and click to open the Files section. They are listed there with their unique name. The same names are used here in the Collectible Guide so you can quickly determine which specific File you are missing. Some files contain multiple pages in the Journal but they count as 1 single Collectible.

After finding a Collectible it gets saved to your Records instantly and there’s no need to collect them again if you die. Everything carries over to subsequent playthroughs and you can also jump between manual saves to grab a missing collectible and it will count retroactively (they are all saved on your “profile save” so you don’t lose anything when jumping to an old save).

Some Recipes, Weapons, and Customizable Weapon Parts must be bought from the merchant. The total cost forall trophy-related Collectibles is1,711,700 Lei (1,061,000 Lei for Customizable Parts + 601,700 Lei for purchasable Weaponswith attachment slots on them+ 49,000 Lei for Recipes). You should haveenough money after 2-3 playthroughs. Most of these purchasables are listed at the end of the guide because you can buy them at various points and some of these only unlock in New Game+.

Pretty hard to see because of the darkness.

When you enter Chris will say “This must be Miranda’s Lab”, so just listen for when he says that. In this room are all 6 remaining File Collectibles.
