Death Stranding: Where to Find All Memory Cards

В Death Stranding there are 56 locations containing Memory Chips. Finding all cards unlocks the Fount of Knowledge and A Thirst for Knowledge trophy. Memory Card #31 is also required to craft all weapons and equipment (Homo Faber trophy).

None of the memory cards can be missed! You can find them all after the story. You can see which collectibles have been found and which are missing by pressing Settings > Left > Data > Memory Cards. If you have found a specific card, then it will have a key icon on it. You still need to decrypt the chips by delivering them to the terminal. Only after decrypting them in the terminal will the trophy be unlocked.

Before you start collecting memory cards, here are a few important things to know:

• Finish the story first and craft the zipline once you've unlocked the second level PHC. Cables allow you to quickly get to any place;
• Improve the level of communication with all objects to 5 stars (trophy "Everyone's Favorite" (Best Beloved)). Make sure you get access to their hideout after you've upgraded the communication level of all objects and read all of their emails! Leveling up grants you new emails (after sleeping). Reading these letters will cause certain collectibles to appear on the map! You cannot find some items without first reading the letters (can be found in Mail).

If you find a card during the story or while leveling connections, pick it up. This will save you time.

Recommendations

• Use the map to see what's closest and plan the most efficient route;
• Then refer to the number in the guide below to see the detailed map and area;
• If there is no memory card, then complete all deliveries until you get 5 stars and read all emails.
