Finding Strings

Discover how to find strings and other collectibles in The Last of Us Part II. This guide covers item pickup order, achievement timing, and key moments for trophies.

Hey there! So, you're diving into The Last of Us Part II and want to make sure you don't miss anything, especially those pesky strings and other collectibles? I get it. This guide is designed to help you track everything you need for that sweet 100% completion, covering item pickup order, when to focus on specific achievements, and generally how to approach things without pulling your hair out.

Think of this as your friendly companion, pointing out the best way to go about collecting everything, whether it's for achievements or just to fully experience the game. I've put together a clear, easy-to-follow walkthrough that should make tracking down those missed items a breeze. We'll cover recommended approaches, the best order for picking things up, and highlight key moments where you'll want to pay extra attention to certain trophies.

This guide is built to be more interactive than just a list of where to go. We're aiming for a comprehensive walkthrough that includes tips for achievement timing and key moments for specific trophies. If you're looking to get all the achievements, this is the place to be. The estimated time to 100% completion is around 40–50 hours, so get ready for a journey!

Just a heads-up, I've got a bit less experience with Part II compared to the first game, but the goal is the same: to help you get everything. There are quite a few achievements to chase – 26 for the story mode, 2 related to difficulty, and 13 for the No Return game mode, plus one more for earning all of them. We'll tackle them all!
