Amnesia: The Bunker Collectible Guide

Amnesia: The Bunker has 128 Collectible Locations. This All-In-One Collectible Guide will show where to locate them all, as well as where to complete various miscellaneous trophies. Locating all Collectibles is required for the following trophies:

• 52 Notes – Librarian
• 16 Photos – Unknown whether these are required for Librarian , these mostly provide hints
• 11 Lockers – Codebreaker
• 20 Dog Tags – technically not all needed, but 11 will have locker codes required for Codebreaker
• 5 Maps – Cartographer
• 7 Pocket Bags – Pack Rat
• 7 Vents & 6 Chains – Cleithrophobist
• 4 Miscellaneous Items – Easy Breather , Flint & Steel , Canonnier , Toy Collector

The Bunker is open for you to explore however you please, with one central area and five other areas you can visit. Once you have full access to the bunker you can travel everywhere, so none of the collectibles are missable.

Notes are pieces of paper scattered around the bunker that have static spawns every playthrough. Some can spawn inside tables, but destroying these tables will make the Notes drop to the floor, so they cannot be missed. Some will require the Cutters and the Wrench to be able to access. Photos are polaroids often found with Notes which provide contextual hints and clues for how certain mechanics work, or how to find a secret or solve a puzzle.

In Munitions Storage in Central Bunker there are 11 Lockers that you can open. In order to open these, you will need to get the codes by collecting Dog Tags around the bunker. The location of the Dog Tags are static spawns every playthrough, however both the name on the dog tag and the code on the dog tag will be randomized every playthrough (except for a few story-related ones). Dog Tags are often on bodies that are protected by rats, which you can distract with meat, scare off by throwing objects, kill with grenades or alternatively burn the bodies they’re guarding with petrol bombs/fuel and a torch (once you acquire the Lighter from A Giraud’s locker). Burning bodies is also necessary for Roastmaster, so it is recommended you do this for every body you encounter while collecting Dog Tags.

You can also open the Lockers with the codes without having the Dog Tags. This can be particularly helpful for completing the speedrun/no save playthroughs, as you can note down the codes when you find them and then open the Lockers on a previous save without having to actually collect the Dog Tags, effectively allowing you to skip areas and get supplies very early.

In each of the 5 main areas there will be a map – in Central Bunker it will be in the main save/storage room, whereas the other 4 areas will have it behind a locked door immediately upon entering the area. These can be viewed to show the map layout on the main map back in Central Bunker.

Pocket Bags are bags that will expand your inventory size by 1. There are 11 spawn locations for these, and only 7 will spawn per playthrough. 3 of these will be static every playthrough (2 in Central Bunker and 1 in Roman Tunnels), whilst the 4 other main areas will have 2 potential spawns each, for a total of 11.

Vents and Chains block off access to certain rooms/areas in the Bunker and require the Wrench and Cutters respectively to open. Both Wrench and Cutters are found as part of the story.

Glitch Note: The trophy may not pop upon picking up the last note, so it is worth making a save before picking up the last few and seeing if picking them up will pop it. For me the trophy didn’t pop upon picking up all 52 on my first save, but on a second playthrough it popped after only picking up 51 of them. If it refuses to pop on one save, you may need to recollect them on another playthrough.

Trophies: Sentimentalist + Toy Fanatic

Now plant the dynamite and blow it up to leave the bunker. This will trigger an autosave, so you can come back after finishing the game if you missed anything.

Outside the Bunker

Trophy: Beast Master
Defeat the Beast by destroying a bridge while it is on it to drop it into the depths. The easiest way to do this is to throw the Rabbit Doll on a wooden bridge, then when it is distracted throw a grenade.
