Chapter:  Prologue

Collectibles:

• No collectibles in this chapter

The game starts with a cutscene where we see a recap of what happened in the first game and Joel tells his brother Tommy what he did in the hospital - saving Ellie.

Follow Tommy

When the cutscene ends, we take control of Joel and his horse.

The game shows you simple mechanics to ride, basically  in order to jump over obstacles and 

Stick with Tommy and enjoy the scenery as you head back to Jackson, the small Wyoming town where Joel and Ellie live.

This short chapter ends with a beautiful view of the small town and flows smoothly into the next one.

Awakening

Collectibles

• Artifacts: 1
• Cards: 2

Now we control Ellie, who was sleeping and woke up from Jessie, one of the characters supporting the game. Take the jacket from the table, pick up the knife by the door and go out.

Follow Jesse

We were late for the departure to the Patrol. Follow Jesse into town and talk about the events of last night. After arriving at the crossroads, go left to pick up our first collectible a card Seismikayla, which hangs on the bulletin board from the side of the building.

Easter egg:  here's a fun fact - on the other side of the crossroads there is a banjo player - Gustavo Santaolalla, music composer The Last of Us 1 and 2 .

Continue to follow Jesse through the city. Before heading to the Tipsy Bison bar, check on the right side of the road for the Forge. Here you can collect 7 parts from the bench where the blacksmiths work (they are in a box labeled "Free Parts"). Parts are used to upgrade weapons at workbenches, which you will find later in the game. Nearby, also on the right side of the road, you can find artifact Ad on the box at the very end of the path (circled in red in the picture below).

After you have picked up the artifact, head to the Tipsy Bison bar on the left side. After the scene with Maria and Seth in the bar, check the Darts for the last collectible in this chapter, another кArt Twins Keen.

Exit the bar and as you follow Jessie and Maria you can find more 3 parts on the right side under the scaffold of the Public Library. At the end of the snowy road on a box 5 spare parts, at which the squirrel is looking.

Snowball fight

When you are reunited with Dina, you need to take part in a snow fight against some city kids. Gather snow  and quit .
Winning or losing doesn't matter much, but anyone who can defeat the hordes of Infested should have the upper hand here!

Follow Dina

After the fight, go to the stable together. Here you will get your horse named Shimmer. Now Jesse will give a short speech and everyone will go to their assigned patrol routes.

Follow the Male Companion

After the opening cutscene, we will gain control of the female Abby.

The man wants to show us something while the rest of their friends are still sleeping.
Along the way, we will learn how to use the basic bypass functions listed above.

While heading to their destination, the characters' names are revealed - Abby and Owen. He found a small town similar to Jackson, a place they had heard about and were looking for.

Owen soon returns home, and Abby seems to be determined and wants to get to the nearest roadblock to talk to people.

While navigating the world with your knowledge of the evasion options, combat mechanics will now be introduced as Abby is captured by the Infected. Click 

After fighting a few more of them, Abby will eventually make it to a house where she has to crawl under the floorboards.
An Infected crawls up to you, shoot him 

In the next house, the enemies do not know about you - this is the moment to learn about stealth approaches. Hold  listening mode to see silhouettes of where enemies are standing/walking. Slowly sneak up on them, grab  and kill 

While it was difficult to avoid taking out enemies in previous sections, the final encounter in this chapter gives you a choice on how to approach. You can either take out the Infected quietly using melee or gunfights (mind your ammo capacity), or simply sneak past them using the gaps under the vehicles to remain undetected. The choice is yours!

Once Abby squeezes through the gap to the cars and sees the footprints in the snow, this section is complete.

Patrol

Collectibles

• Artifacts: 6
• Cards: 2
• Diary entries: 2
• Workbenches: 1
• Safes: 1

Follow Dina on horseback to the first point of their patrol route. Once you reach the building, you will automatically dismount from your horse. Now together you will go out onto the balcony and enjoy the view for a moment. After this scene you can do diary entry, which is the first collectible in this chapter.

Once you've climbed the rope in the same building, the first room to your right will have about 5 parts . Pick them up to upgrade your weapons a bit later.

Travel to next stop

As you head towards your next scheduled location, you will encounter several houses along the way. You can get a few collectibles here, so dismount your horse and grab them while you're here.

We will be able to enter the ruined house on the left. From the back side we climb to the 2nd floor, in the boxes we will find artifact: Letter to Santa Claus, ammo, 2 add-ons (tablets for pumping skills). On the right we climb inside the van, on
beds 7 additions, in drawers 8 spare parts. On the right in front of the car we go up to the 2nd floor of the house, inside on the nightstand we will find 2 additions, in the dressing room card:
tesseracter

City

Keep driving until you reach a huge pool of moose blood. Enter the building from the window on the left side and kill the infected from behind. Before going through the door on the left, jump through another window and enter the building from a different angle to get 7 additions .

Behind the door on the left there is a small scene where you have to drop the item 

There will be a few more Infected outside, but they haven't spotted you yet. Take them out, preferably stealthily, and gather resources around. Eventually, you will have to crawl under the truck, the Infected will attack you and save Dean.
After that, climb into the truck from the side to collect 7 parts and back for collection Artifact Apology from the supermarket и 8 additives .

Now climb onto the cab of the truck and jump through the hole in the roof. There will be spare parts, as well as resources to create a first aid kit.

Ellie and Dina will now put on their masks to enter the spore-infested part of the House. This section presents a number of collectibles for you. The first room on the left contains 3 parts. Continuing the path, on the right is a closed door, behind it is a safe and Artifact: Goodie's Code. The note indicates that the code is the date when the smart girl became the employee of the month. In the corridor we examine the Greenplace Market honors board. Safe code: 07-20-13. Contents of the safe: alcohol, 12 spare parts, 14 extras. In the same room, we examine all the drawers, find 2 cartridges,
There are 8 extras in the storage locker. By now you should have enough additions to invest your first skill point and get 

Fun fact: It takes 1900 add-ons to fully upgrade all skill trees (this is not possible in a single playthrough and requires New Game+).

After going through the gap, Ellie will fall down and attract a click zombie, which Dina will shoot at. When you get back on your feet, there are two more clickers in the room that you can kill 

Make your way to the next room with Dina. Inside she will give us a Molotov, and now we have learned the recipe for it. Also, in this room 27 additives , so be sure to pick them up before climbing out the window.

The next room is also teeming with enemies. Use listening mode 

Once you have eliminated all the infected, you need to pull the rope from the corner of the room and throw it over the curved air duct so that you and Dina can climb up.

The Storm and the Library

Once you're back on your horse, the blizzard will drastically reduce visibility and you'll lose sight of Dinah for a while. Once you drive through the broken truck, stick to the left side to find it again. If you get lost, Dina will call you after a while.

Dina knows a place where you can wait out the storm, and it's an old library. Once inside, you need to get to the back area by breaking the Copy Center window. Just hit the window, no need to waste ammo on the windows. Remember this for future windows as well.

Inside this first room will be 24 parts that you must pick up. After going through the next door, Ellie will automatically pick up Artifact Eugene Pendant, hanging next to her.

Entering the back rooms, do diary entry about the plush giraffe on your right and head into the darker room on the left for a Lauren Foucault cards .

There are more collectibles in the back of the hall. Artifact Eugene's Ultimatum in the nightstand drawer, as well as another artifact Photo of Eugene and Tommy и 7 parts on the table on the opposite side.

Go to the last section of the room and start the Generator 

Fun fact: It takes 1920 parts to fully upgrade all weapons (this is not possible in a single playthrough and requires an extra game+).

Turning on the light shows that there is something underneath the room. Go to the shelf next to where you entered and move it to the side. There are three items in the basement that you can interact with. The one circled on the right will advance the story, so be sure to check out the other two first if you want a laugh. They are not collectibles, so don't worry if you missed them.

Run away from zombies

On the way to Prospect, Abby will encounter a huge number of Infected, don't fight them! Make a 180° turn and run through the Container. You need to go down and to the water. On shallow water we get to the parking lot, climb onto the truck, we can jump over the high fence from it. We run across the yard. Zombies will attack us through the lattice fence. At the end of us
save Joel. We run into the building, in the side room we can make a barricade.

Escape with Joel and Tommy

Follow Tommy through the partially open door after he throws the Molotov at the Infected in front of you. In the next room, grab the pipe from the wall - you'll need a melee weapon in just a second. The room will be swarming with infected - give them hell!

When the door to the next room is open, go there. You'll eventually exit through the window on the left side. Give Tommy and Joel a hand to push the cart. While Tommy pushes the cart towards the window, you and Joel must keep the infected at a distance. Have a few spare melee weapons for when yours breaks.

Additionally, you have a pistol to fight from mid-range. Reserve all your pistol ammo for the nutcrackers (strong, infested ones with infection heads). They appear later. The first few waves are just regular runners using melee weapons against them. Run towards them and hit them. Remember to dodge if they counterattack. When your weapon breaks, quickly run around the room to pick up a new one. You don't need to fight them hand to hand, especially since they just keep appearing from all directions and will get ahead of you if you don't kill them quickly enough.

Once Tommy pushes the cart towards the window, jump up and through the window. Then follow Joel to their horses. Time to leave!

Chalet

Collectibles

• No collectibles in this chapter

Ellie, Dina, and Jesse parted ways to find Joel and Tommy, who haven't returned from their Patrol. When you see the house, head towards it along the cliff until you see a fence. There are several holes near the end of the fence that you can squeeze through. Enter the cabin from the open sliding door in front of you.

Climb down the ladder to ground level to continue your investigation. Check for noises from the basement that can be accessed from the kitchen. We go down, there we will be disarmed and beaten. Joel will be killed in front of our eyes. When
wake up, the entire detachment of mercenaries will already hide.

Joel's house

Before Ellie leaves for Seattle, she wants to take a few things from Joel's House.

Inside the house, you can interact with various things that remind us of the first game and fill in some of the gaps between then and now. Three of them are collectibles, one of them is not to be missed.

You need to interact with the mug in the kitchen downstairs for entries in diary. 

The second collectible is another diary entry . Look at the guitar in the room upstairs.

Last artifact Clock Joel, the unmissable is in a red box on the bed, also upstairs. Under them there is a revolver! After capturing it, feel free to check out something else and then go downstairs to talk to Maria.
