Roadmap

Follow this roadmap to earn all trophies in The Last of Us Part II. Master collectibles, combat, and difficulty challenges.

Achieving 100% completion in The Last of Us Part II involves a combination of story progression, collectible hunting, and mastering various gameplay mechanics. This roadmap outlines the general steps required to earn all trophies, providing a structured approach to your journey through its challenging world.

Earning every trophy in The Last of Us Part II is a significant undertaking that will require multiple playthroughs and thorough exploration. This guide breaks down the trophy acquisition process into manageable sections, from story-related achievements to the more demanding collectible and skill-based challenges.

Phase 1: Story Progression and Initial Collectibles

The first playthrough should focus on experiencing the narrative and gathering as many collectibles as possible organically. Don't stress too much about missing items; many can be found on subsequent playthroughs.

1. Play through the main story: Complete the game from start to finish. This will unlock numerous story-related trophies.
2. Collectibles: While playing, actively search for all Artifacts, Journal Entries, and Coins. Many of these are tied to specific chapters.
3. Workbenches and Upgrades: Interact with workbenches to upgrade your weapons. Some trophies may require specific upgrade levels.
4. Crafting: Craft several items to unlock related trophies.

Phase 2: Chapter Select and Cleanup

Once you've completed the game, the Chapter Select feature becomes invaluable for tracking down any missed collectibles and completing specific challenges.

• Missed Collectibles: Use Chapter Select to revisit areas and find any remaining Artifacts, Journal Entries, and Coins. Pay attention to the in-game counter for each chapter.
• Weapon Upgrades: If you haven't maxed out weapon upgrades, revisit workbenches and use scavenged parts.
• Crafting: Ensure you've crafted all possible items.
• Combat Trophies: Some trophies require specific combat feats (e.g., number of kills with a certain weapon, number of stealth takedowns). Use Chapter Select to grind these out in suitable areas.

Phase 3: Difficulty and Skill-Based Trophies

Certain trophies are tied to playing on higher difficulties or achieving specific gameplay milestones.

• Difficulty Trophies: If you haven't played on the highest difficulty (Groundd Mode or Survivor), consider a dedicated playthrough. Many players find it easier to achieve collectibles and combat trophies on lower difficulties first.
• Skill Trees: Invest in Ellie's and Abby's skill trees by finding supplements. Some trophies may require unlocking specific skills.
• Specific Combat Challenges: Trophies like 'Can't Keep This Up' (performing a certain number of consecutive dodges) or 'Grounded' (completing the game on the hardest difficulty) will require focused effort.
