The Last of Us Part 1 & Left Behind Collectibles Guide

Welcome to our The Last of Us Part 1 & Left Behind Collectibles Guide. The collectibles in The Last of Us can be picked up or physically interacted with most of the time—i.e. you have to pick up pendants and comics, and you have to open shiv doors and safes. However, some collectibles have to be observed, such as conversations and jokes. There are 30 Firefly Pendants, 13 Comics, 97 Artifacts, 12 Training Manuals, 13 Shiv Doors, 5 Workbench Tools, 4 Safes, 54 Optional Conversations, 6 Jokes, and 11 Workbenches across Part 1 and the included Left Behind DLC.

Additionally, you can also find the locations of each of the melee weapons in the game as well as upgrade materials for them so you can break them for the Build Em Up, Break Em Down trophy as well as how and when to unlock the other Chapter-Specific Trophies.

The Quarantine Zone

20 Years Later

Optional Conversation #1 – As you walk with Tess towards the checkpoint you can see a man leaning against a red newspaper stand directly opposite the checkpoint gate. The red stand is next to a bus shelter.

The NPC won’t be there immediately, as he first walks slowly across the street and then leans against the stand. Make sure you talk to him before approaching the checkpoint.

Beyond the Wall

Artifact #1 Military Pamphlet & #2 Boston Q.Z. Map – Automatically acquired when you collect Joel’s backpack.

Next to one of the beds on the left as you walk in is your first Firefly Pendant.

To your left is a room (Natalie & Vegiard Legal Group) with a door you can open, and inside is a table with a note on it.

Firefly Pendant #2 Ben Glueck 000106 – As you progress through the area, you will come across an alleyway where you will have to duck under a collapsed fire escape (this is directly after the room where you have to get the fallen wooden plank for Tess). After ducking under the fire escape, look to your immediate left to find a tree with a pendant hanging from it. Shoot the pendant down so you can pick it up.

The Slums

Artifact #4 Drafting Notice – As you pass through the bus with Tess, you will see that Tess immediately runs to the right—this is the way to proceed—but ignore her for now and walk forward. There will be a note on the ground next to a dishwasher.

Artifact #5 Wanted Poster – On a notice board ahead of you from where you picked up the Drafting Notice Artifact is a wanted poster.

Artifact #6 Shipping Manifest – Proceed through the area some more, and you will end up at a dock that is being patrolled by some of Robert’s men. To the right from where you entered the area is a shipping manifest on the ground—you can see it glinting from a distance.

Firefly Pendant #4 Joseph Lenz 000113 – As you reach the Goldstone Building, there will be a small seating area to your right with some trees. In one of the trees is a pendant. Shoot it down or grab a nearby brick to knock it down if you’re conserving ammo.

Optional Conversation #6 – Head inside the Goldstone Building, and right in the hallway is a corpse. As you approach it you can initiate an optional conversation.

Artifact #11 Field Ops Log – Proceed up the steps next to the corpse mentioned above, and you will find another dead FEDRA soldier with a note by his corpse.

Shiv Door #1 – After Joel is unavoidably grabbed by a Clicker, you will be given a brief tutorial on crafting health kits. In the next room is a locked door with a metal shelf on either side. Try to open this door, and you will be given a button prompt to use a shiv to open it.

Artifact #12 Firefly Map – After dropping into the subway and finding the Molotov (this also unlocks the ability to craft Molotovs), you can find a Firefly corpse atop some stairs. On the ground next to him is an Artifact.

Artifact #13 Note to Derek – In the shopping area in the subway, you will find a bunch of Clickers and Runners. As you enter, to your left is a Runner eating a corpse. Take him out and enter the store behind him to find a note in the drawer behind the counter. This note will reveal the safe code for Safe #1.

Safe #1 – On the opposite side of this shopping area, you will find a store called “Round Note.” Inside is a safe guarded by a Runner. The code to the safe—as revealed in the Note to Derek Artifact—is 03-43-78.

Museum

Artifact #14 Medical Pamphlet – After climbing over the truck blocking your path in front of the museum, turn around immediately and enter the truck to find a note.

Firefly Pendant #5 Michael Kiper ??0109 – In the next room inside the museum, you will see a ramp made out of a collapsed ceiling leading up to the second floor. At the top of this ramp, climb onto the ledge to your left and shimmy to the end to find a pendant in a glass case.

Bill’s Town

The Woods

Starting from this chapter you will be able to upgrade melee weapons that you pick up using binding and sharp crafting materials. There are 5 weapon types in the game and you have to upgrade them and use them until you break the upgrade. When you’re on the small roof just outside Bill’s Town (you have to make a bridge with a wooden plank) pick up the already upgraded Lead Pipe in order to gain the ability to upgrade weapons.

Artifact #17 Pills Note – Grab the wooden plank and cross into Bill’s Town. In front of you there will be some metal steps leading up into a building and a drop leading to a locked metal gate. Head up the steps and search the ground of the room to your left for a note.

Shiv Door #3 – Go back outside the building and drop down to the locked metal fence. Immediately to your left is a locked metal door that you can open with a shiv.

When Joel boosts Ellie up so she can remove the Lead Pipe from the metal chainlink gate, pick the pipe up and—if you have the resources—upgrade it (press and hold on the Lead Pipe). If you already have the upgraded Lead Pipe in your inventory from outside Bill’s Town then still swap it for the Lead Pipe in the chainlink fence as the trophy suggests you have to manually upgrade the weapons before you break them. When you encounter enemies later in the chapter make sure to hit them with the upgraded Lead Pipe until it breaks. Upgraded Melee Weapon Broken 1/5.

Optional Conversation #9 – Head into the building directly opposite the chainlink gate that Ellie opened for Joel. Stand around inside near the “The Turning” arcade machine and wait for Ellie to approach it to initiate a conversation.

Artifact #18 Note to Bob – Leave the building with the arcade machine and run all the way down to the bottom of the street where the “You will be shot” sign is. On the makeshift wall is a note (this will reveal the code for the safe in the area).

Firefly Pendant #8 Hui Wang 000197 – Turn around and climb the RV from the front. On the roof at the back end of the RV is a pendant.

Safe #2 – Keep backtracking up the street while keeping an eye out on the left—just beyond the evacuation notice sign—for a pickup truck. Just behind the truck on the ground is a safe. The code is 05-17-21.

Artifact #19 Perimeter Note – Head into the “Marquis Music Store” opposite the RV you climbed earlier and search the back office for a note.

Shiv Door #4 – Leave the music store and head down the alley next to it to get behind the stores. A clicker will run into a trap killing itself. In the back alley you can find a door on your right up a small set of stairs. You can use your shiv to unlock it.

Artifact #20 Note to Rachel – Once you get down from the rooftops and duck under a tripwire, head left to find a door. Go inside and enter the living room where you will be attacked by a Runner. After dispatching it, look for a table with a note (the name “Rachel” will be written on the wall above it).

Safehouse

Workbench #2 – At the very back of the room is a workbench where you can try out your new Workbench Tool.

Artifact #24 Bombs Note – Head upstairs into the Church and as you get to the altar turn right. Inside the room you see—Bill’s Room to be exact—is a note on a table.

Just before Bill, Joel, and Ellie exit the Graveyard you can find a 2×4 on a stone bench by the stairs. Grab it, upgrade it, and use it until it breaks; you know the drill by now. Upgraded Melee Weapon Broken 3/5.

Firefly Pendant #10 Peter Mrozik 000263 – After the Graveyard you will come to a house with a garden and a few infected patrolling. Enter the house and check the bathroom for a pendant by the toilet.

Artifact #27 Note from Frank (crumpled) – Pick up the note after Bill crumples it up and throws it on the ground. This will appear in Joel’s backpack as “Note from Frank” even after picking it up once it has been crumpled but will still count as a new artifact.

Chapter-Specific Trophy: In Memorium – You have to pick up Frank’s note after Bill crumples it and throws it to the ground. Since the crumpled note counts as a collectible this trophy will unlock naturally for you.

Chapter-Specific Trophy: Lights Out – You must make your way up to the generator underneath the two snipers at the top of the security checkpoint and turn it off without being seen. This is a lot easier than you think as there are plenty of cover to hide behind as you slowly make your way up. I would advise sticking to the right while avoiding the spotlight as well as the single Hunter patrolling in front of the generator. Once you make it to the generator—making sure to stick to the right and use any cover you can—wait for the Hunter on the ground to walk all the way left so you can get to the generator and hide behind the fire there. Once the Hunter has moved right and then is heading back left again, you can come out from behind the fire and choke him out (this probably isn’t necessary as you can get to the generator and turn it before he notices you but turning the generator off aggros every enemy in the area and he’ll quickly clobber you with his 2×4). Once he’s dealt with you are free to turn off the generator.

Joke #5 – Head to the end of the road and look for the Firefly logo graffiti on a wall. Henry will speak about the Fireflies and if you wait around long enough Ellie will pull out her joke book. No need to press on this one.
