If you are missing something and it doesn’t show up on the map it is likely in one of those 3 places (or you are missing the map/satchel/monolith). So pay extra attention on challenge tombs, crypts and caves. Some collectibles are in underground areas and may not display correctly on the map. The collectibles get marked on your map after finding the explorer satchel and archivist map for an area and translate the monoliths. The following are not collectibles, but are progression based tasks you need for 100%: There are the following types of collectibles: To complete the game 100% you must beat the story, do all side missions, solve the challenge tombs, find all collectibles, and complete all challenges. You can replay all chapters via expeditions mode and mop up everything else in free roam after the story. You needn’t bother with anything else here. Also purchase the skill “Intuitive” as it will highlight collectibles through walls and makes them much easier to find.

Some items are inaccessible until you get certain story upgrades. Just check your map before moving on to the next area and grab everything you can. Pick up everything you come across – all collectibles get marked on your map after you find the explorer satchel and archivist map for an area and translate the monoliths. Especially the challenge tombs provide significant perk unlocks and should be done as soon as possible. Not only will this save time later on, but you also receive bonus XP to make your life easier on Survivor difficulty.

It would be beneficial to grab as many collectibles as possible as you play through the game. The main difference to other difficulties is that your health doesn’t regenerate (you must craft med kits to restore health), you take more damage and enemies have increased health. There are relatively few enemy encounters and you can easily take out most enemies in stealth to avoid open combat. The only hard encounters are at the very end of the game. This is the highest difficulty in the game, but it’s totally doable on the first run. You must beat the game on survivor difficulty for the trophy “Ultimate Survivor”.
