The Chant Collectibles Guide

Welcome to our The Chant Collectibles Guide. There are a total of 71 collectibles in The Chant with 61 of them being Lore Notes, and 10 being Projector Reels. I’ve also listed the chapter-specific trophies and all 15 Mandacores so you really can’t miss anything.

Chapter 1

Lore Note #1 – Jess’ Letter to her Future Self – Already in your possession at the start of the chapter. The game doesn’t track this as a collectible which means the trophies for finding 10, 25, and 45 will unlock upon collecting your 11th, 26th, and 46th respectively. However, since this note can be found with the rest of the Lore Notes I’ve decided to list it as the first.

Projector Reel #1 – Orientation Video – Given to you by Sonny when you meet him inside the room next to the tent area where Kim is standing (remember to pick the reel up again after playing it in the Orientation Room).

Lore Note #2 – Sonny’s Form – On a small table to the right of Sonny when you first meet him.

Alchemist Trophy – At this point you should have the valve for the machine inside the greenhouse. Consult the paper that Hannah gave you to create the Plant Dissolving Solution and then put it in the machine to solve the puzzle. Try not to pick up any plants you don’t need as this will increase your chances of accidentally selecting the wrong plant to combine. It’s safer to only pick up and combine two plants at a time so you can’t make any mistakes.

You Have Chosen… Wisely Trophy – In the attic are a series of rafters that you must cross without breaking them and falling. The first one is easy as there is only one rafter but the next three sets of rafters all have a left, middle, and right choice. The correct sequence is: Middle (only choice), Left, Right, Left.

Projector Reel #10- Beacon of Ascension – Progress forward and you will reach a small red geodome with Red Pineal Orb inside. In the room next to the altar is the last reel.
