The Last of Us Training Manuals

How to find missing Training Manuals?: In-game the Training Manuals will appear simply as a pieces of paper 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 Training Manuals, 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 Training Manuals you collect?: No, the game will only save the Training Manuals 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+.

Tip: Training Manuals allow you to craft more powerful improvisational items.
