Quick notes
- Choose the reward before starting a collection sweep. Relics, lost letters and memory cards support different unlocks and completion goals.
- Search the correct type of location. Memory cards are associated with laptops in liberated outpost safe houses.
- Keep the story route moving between searches. Main missions unlock later areas and some abilities.
- Save before the final choice if comparing outcomes. Ending spoilers: the final decision asks whether Jason saves his friends or stays with Citra.
Search the correct type of location
| Goal | Requirement or action | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Reach later island content | Advance the campaign | Exploration alone does not unlock every story gate |
| Unlock signature weapons | Meet the named collection or activity condition | Only selected counts are needed for some weapons |
| Save friends ending | Choose the friends option in the finale | Not determined by collectible percentage |
| Join Citra ending | Choose Citra in the finale | A separate story outcome |
| Compare endings | Preserve a pre-finale save | Do not overwrite the only branch point |
Useful tip
Ending spoilers: the final decision asks whether Jason saves his friends or stays with Citra.
