The Last of Us Part 1 ‘Left Behind’ collectibles locations

In “Left Behind,” the sole major expansion for The Last of Us Part 1, you’ll need to find twelve artifacts and thirteen optional conversations. The collectibles are spread out across six sections: Back in a Flash, Mallrats, So Close, Fun and Games, The Enemy of My Enemy, and Escape from Liberty Gardens. The game does not indicate to you when you’re moving onto a new section, but you can select and begin playing any section from the Chapters option on the main menu.

Read on to find out when each section begins and ends, and where all of the collectibles can be found in “Left Behind.”

Back in a Flash Collectibles

The “Back in a Flash” section begins after a few cutscenes where you meet Ellie’s late best friend, Riley. You gain control of Ellie after the events of the main game’s “The University” chapter concludes, but before the “Lakeside Resort” chapter begins. This section ends after you exit the nail salon and hop over the stair’s railing.
