Uncharted 4 Optional Conversations

How to find missing Optional Conversations?: Optional Conversations are in-game text balloon bubbles that appear over other character’s heads when you’re near them. Walking up to a character with such a “…” text balloon & Triangle button over his/her head and pressing on your controller’s Triangle button will trigger them to start talking. Optional Conversation are otherwise completely missable story additions or just funny chats.

Spoiler Warning: All locations of the Optional Conversations in the game add something to the story. But beware that the very last talk in the final “Epilogue” chapter is a big spoiler!!

Progress Tracking Tip: To see how many collectibles you have found in the chapters, you can keep track of your collectible progress in Chapter Select, where there’s a collectible counter for each chapter. Another place to track the missing/found Optional Conversations is from the pause menu.

Does the game save each Optional Conversation you collect?: Yes, the game will automatically save the Optional Conversations you just listened to, so you don’t have to play to the end of the chapter or even the next checkpoint. After finding each collectible talk spot and having fully heard it out you can safely quit the chapter without losing collectibles progress, which carries over to the next campaign playthrough meaning you can get missing collectibles via chapter select at any time.
