The Last of Us PS5 Remake has 254 Collectible Locations. This updated All-In-One Collectible Guide for the Remake will show you the locations of all collectibles, across both The Last of Us Part 1 and Left Behind. There are new collectibles in TLOU Remake and some locations have slightly changed from the original PS3 version. There are also new collectible types required in the PS5 Remake that were not in the PS3 original, namely Safes and Workbenches and new Trophies. Locating all Collectibles is required for the following trophies:
- 30 Firefly Pendants – Look for the Light
- 13 Comics – Endure and Survive
- 97 Artifacts – Chronicles
- 54 Optional Conversations – Getting to Know You
- 6 Ellie’s Jokes – That’s all I got
- 12 Training Manuals – Something to Fight For
- 13 Shiv Doors – Master of Unlocking
- 11 Workbenches – Prepared For the Worst
- 4 Safes – Sticky Fingers
- 5 Workbench Tools – Sharpest Tool in the Shed
- 9 Chapter-specific Trophies
Artifacts, Firefly Pendants, Comics and Training Manuals are traditional collectibles that can be picked up throughout the game, the Training Manuals will also upgrade your gear. Optional Conversations and Ellie’s Jokes can be triggered by interacting with certain objects or people while standing in certain places. Shiv Doors are rooms that can be opened with shivs that hold loot and occasionally other collectibles, as do Safes which will require a code to open (however the codes are always the same and shown here in the guide). Workbenches are where you can upgrade your gear, and Workbench Tools allow you to upgrade gear to higher levels.
Always be sure to carry shivs for upcoming Shiv Doors, and don’t waste them all on killing enemies, as you do not want to reach a door but be unable to open it. For Workbenches, make sure to interact with them to them to register, but you do not need to upgrade anything. For Safes, be sure to grab the items inside to make sure it counts.
All collectibles types (except Workbench Tools) are tracked in Chapter Select, both at a chapter level and sub-chapter level. Jokes will be listed as Optional Conversations, but they count separately. If you miss any collectibles, you can load up the respective sub-chapter to collect them. All collectibles count immediately, so you do not need to complete the chapter for them to register.
All trophies (except Sticky Fingers ) will have trophy tracking enabled, so you can also check your total amount of collectibles via the trophy trackers. That’s all I got incorrectly lists it as having only 3 Jokes, but there are 6 Jokes total. The trophy tracker will only update upon getting the 4th, 5th and 6th Joke. For Comics there will be 14 total in the inventory but only 13 add towards the trophy tracker (1 is automatic from a cutscene and doesn’t count).
Chapter Select can be used to get remaining Collectibles. Nothing is missable. When chapter selecting, all chapters after the current one will be locked out. To fix this, the game will create a backup of your “Story Complete” save, so you can simply reload this Autosave Backup to restore all the chapters, while keeping the collectibles registered. If you wish you can create a manual save at the end of the game as another backup and also back up your finished story save in the PS+ Cloud as a precaution.
Potential Bug & Fix: There are reports of some collectibles bugging out for a small number of players (either can’t interact with them or they don’t count in chapter select/trophy tracker), if this happens reinstalling the game should fix it.

Great Work!
Will there bei a full Wiki to TLOU?
Greets

No, but the collectible guide and trophy guide cover everything.
Jay says
The workbench trophy popped for me when the triangle prompt popped up at the last one in the Underground Tunnel. I didn’t have to interact with it. Amazing guide though, just finished the base game and now onto Left Behind.
Theodosios Kreatsoulas says
same to me about the trophy
Evan says
The 4 optional conversations won’t proc in my game. No matter how many times I reset the password, one of the conversations won’t appear to complete the requirments for ellie to tell her final joke.
cole says
same for me it didnt count though I think its a bug if you continue youll still get the trophy
Chase Garrett says
Guys, please!! I’m desperately trying to get the platinum trophy for The Last of Us Part 1 and all I need is to be able to get Ellie to say her jokes. In order, it would be the fifth time she brought out her joke book to start telling jokes. I’ve done everything leading up to it and nothing. I know I’m supposed to pop a question with Henry, then the convo with the ice cream truck, and then the firefly logo, but I’ve only been able to start that entire sequence once and it was the first time I played it through and Ellie never told her jokes. Every time I go back it never pops up for the optional convo. Please. This is all I need for the Plat.
Deadlights82 says
I restarted the checkpoint then it worked.Thought I’d messed up but was missing jokes from left behind.
Kaveman says
I had to literally stand still for 4 minutes before she told her jokes.
Bearwolfz says
Did you ever get this done somehow?
Crylhound83 says
I have the same problem. I remember that I did the three conversations (BBQ, across the street and ice truck) but I forgot about the grafiti and the last conversation with the jokes.
So now, after I’ve did a clean up via chapter select I am only missing that one conversation and it does not trigger any more than the first BBQ one. No restart or replaying the entire chapter (incl. sewers) worked. Guess I have to do NG+ until I reach the suburbs…
RooRivera says
After waiting for a while for Henry to speak at the looting spot, I just figured I’d try for the trophy later on my grounded run, so the only conversations I had for Ellie’s joke were the bbq conversation and the last one by the firefly logo. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to wait around and see if she would say them by the logo anyway. Sure enough after 4 minutes and walking up to her, she said them. I didn’t need the ice cream convo or the looting house convo. Try it! Might work for you! All I need now are the jokes in left behind.
Deadlights82 says
Thanks for this awesome guide powerpyx got my platinum ?
J says
Going through chapter select and it says I have all Artefacts collected, but the trophy tracker is on 96 out of 97.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling like the guide says, but that didn’t work. Anyone else encounter this problem and have a fix? Or anyone got any ideas? I really don’t want to have to delete my save and start again.
J says
never mind, it took it’s time to pop up
Max says
I have the same problem and not sure what to do. It’s just do not popping up:(
Cormac says
I’m stuck on 2/3 convos in financial district but i’ve got them all and went back to chapter select to try see if that would fix it. Still stuck on 2/3?
Grenadeh says
I’ve gotten literally everything except for exhausting the jokes in Fun and Games and didn’t get the Firefly Pendant trophy or the Collectibles trophy. Doing a reinstall now and hoping it actually works. Quite annoying, I wouldn’t list difficulty as 2 when it takes a ton of effort.
Grenadeh says
Nope still nothing and I’ve replayed the entire game and gotten every item again still nothing.
Nick says
Awesome guide! I think my game is bugged though, despite getting all optional convos, 2 in Pittsburg won’t register (1 in Alone and Forsaken and 1 in Financial District). I’ve redone both sections and they wouldn’t register. Any tips?
PowerPyx says
Reinstalling the game usually fixes it, then recollect the bugged conversations again.
Cross says
I’m having problems with the collectables, there is a glitch. Im at bus depot sub chapter, and l collected two firefly pendants but one of them is not counting, and the collectable tracker always says one of them is missing. I’ve reinstall the game 2x and it keeps glitching. Please can anyone help me?
John Brant says
Yeah I’ve followed this guide to a T, and yet I’m at the end of the left behind just did last joke #6 no trophy still says 1/3. Makes no sense I did every joke waited for completion reinstalled game and nothing is fixed. I hate doing double the work
PowerPyx says
Your best bet is redoing them through Chapter Select. Some of the trophy tracking is a bit broken in this game unfortunately.
Ashley says
Do all of the collectables in left behind count towards the trophies as I have not got the trophies to pop but also have not completed left behind yet
PowerPyx says
Yes, everything from Left Behind is required.
Brandon Wertz says
Really confused.. the flamethrower is not on the forklift and there is no Snipers’ Nest Log on the balcony. The flamethrower shows up for me in the next area where Joel and Ellie split with the generator. What do I do about the Snipers’ Nest Log though?
Kate says
I have beat The Last of Us probably about 20 times but had never gotten platinum. I decided to go finally go for it and I succeeded thanks to your walk-through! It made it super easy to find all the collectibles I missed. Thank you!
DaveM says
The medical pamphlet in the Museum cannot be done via chapter select because it is actually collected prior to the start of the chapter.
So you have to do it as part of Downtown (as i just found out when i quit downtown having done all of its collectables and tried to then start at Museum)
OGG1993 says
I collected everything following the guide carefully, but I’m stuck at 96/97. Checked every chapters and nothing is missing. This is horrible.
PowerPyx says
I’d try reinstalling game if that fixes the tracking bug (back up save to PS+ before). May need to recollect an item to update the trophy tracker (ideally from an old save before collecting the final item). If that doesn’t work, only solution is clean reinstall + deleting saves + recollecting everything from scratch.
