The Last of Us Artifacts

How to find missing Artifacts?: In-game the Artifacts will appear simply as Artifacts of the olden days like pieces of paper and other items on walls, desks, the ground or lying on various surfaces for you to pick up with the action button that pops up when you stand next to it.

To find out where you’re missing Artifacts, press the Select button while playing in-game.
Or you can track your total progress in the “Collectibles” section of the Bonus Menu.
Or after beating the game for the first time you’ll also see in “Chapter Select” how many collectibles of each type you have found per chapter.

Does the game save each Artifacts you collect?: No, the game will only save the Artifacts you just collected if you picked them up after you reach each next checkpoint in the game. Only then can you safely quit the chapter without losing collectibles progress. If you die you’ll have to replay that section to collect it again.

Note: All your collectible progress carries over to New Game+.

Where to find all Artifacts in The Last of Us? The in-game collectibles locations for the Artifacts are described in this detailed video guide.

The Artifacts are listed in the video in the order that they appear with added voice-over tips.
