Can you go back to the lighthouse after the mission where I have been saving Giul? Thanks.
Don’t think so 🙁 The door you come down to the bunker through is locked, and the cave you went up initially is glitched out — I think they remove it from the map to save memory but neglected to actually block you from going in.
Needs to be marked as missable ***
There is also a photo of Giul’s mother that is needed for a side mission close to Diary #6 in the comma bunker. You get water as a reward for returning the photo. It is not the primary purpose of this guide, but would be nice to be included in the collectible description.
No
I missed the ammo pouches suit upgrade in the Volga but found it on this level. It was north west of the hermit in a small area with 3 enemies talking about finding a bunch of weapons. In an old container.
Collected diary No, 11 (shopping list), but it did not count to my collection… It is not on console described anymore, even when I played this mission second time. Did anyone experienced same thing?
It counted for me. I just checked my diary list.
