The Last of Us Part I – The Outskirts – Downtown

Downtown

Start off this chapter following Tess. There are supplements behind the yellow sign. Grab them if you want and then go back to Tess.

Artifact 11—Evacuation Leaflet

Once you pass two blue police barriers, you’ll be in an intersection. Look for artifact 11—Evacuation Leaflet—near one of the traffic lights.

Before continuing up the ramp, there are some parts off to the left inside the back of one of the trucks. Grab them and then continue up the ramp.

At the top, turn right into some wreckage. You’ll have to crouch through.

Firefly Pendant 4—Joseph Lenz

On the other side, keep to the right and walk into a small area with a bunch of trees. The far back left tree has firefly pendant 4—Joseph Lenz—hanging in it. You can save ammo by using a brick to knock it down. There are a few bricks laying by the tree.

Optional Conversation 4

Head back a bit and when you’re about to leave the area with the trees, turn right and look for an open door. Just through the threshold, you’ll find a dead soldier and optional conversation 4.

The door beside the dead soldier leads to some parts but it’s a dead end. Grab them if you want and then go up the stairs.

Artifact 12—Field Ops Log

At the halfway point up the stairs is another dead soldier and artifact 12—Field Ops Log—to the right of his body. Grab it and then continue up the stairs.

You’re supposed to exit on level 5 but there are some supplies on level 6 if you need them. Either way, head to the infected stuck to the door on level 5, pull it out of the way, and then push the door open.

In the next room, there are some supplies in the drawer and some supplements on the way to the exit. Crouch down to leave.

There are some supplies on the opposite side of the room behind some office cubicles. Grab what you need and then head to the only door in the room.

After the drama, search the nearby area of supplies. If you don’t heal yourself, Tess will eventually hand you a med kit.

Shiv Door 1

There’s a shiv door in the second room with a ton of supplies. Open if you can. It’ll cost you one shiv but they are typically worth it especially on lower difficulty. Be sure to craft as much stuff as you can so your crafting inventory is not full.

Locate Tess and Ellie and go into the room next to the farther down the hall. Ignore the draw to the right—it’s always empty. Look for some yellow caution tape near a ledge and climb up it.

Tip – Clickers

Clickers are tougher versions of the infected. They’ve been infected for a lot longer and have grown stronger. They can’t be killed using hand-to-hand combat. To kill them without ammo requires either a shiv or a brick/bottle and a melee weapon. If you can stealth grab them from behind, you can use a shiv on them to instakill them. You can also throw a brick or bottle at them and then rush at them with a melee weapon. The brick or bottle will stun them. If you hit them with your melee weapon while they’re stunning, it’ll also be an instakill. However, this method is loud and will attract a lot of attention. Use it sparingly and using shivs or ammo instead.

Tip – Shivs

Always try to keep at least one shiv on hand to open shiv doors. On harder difficulties, you’ll need to learn to balance between using ammo, melee weapons, and shivs.

Back to the game, there are some supplies in the room to the right. Grab them or not and then sneak your way up where the yellow caution tape is. This fight is easily avoidable.

Once over, drop back down on the other side and grab the med kit from the soldier if possible. Then hop over the railing to the left and move the cabinets so everyone can get through.

They call me Revolver…

Follow Tess and Ellie around the outside of the building and into a stairwell. Go downstairs and look for a dead soldier. Next to him is a new weapon—the revolver. You’re forced to swap to it in order to proceed.

The area down below is crawling with infected. You must clear all of them before Tess and Ellie will jump down. Be patient and do your best. It’s possible to clear all of them without alerting them. If you need help, watch this quick how-to video.

After the fight, if you took any damage, there are some health packs laying around. Grab them if you need them and then head up a ledge in the back corner. You’ll need to pull some cabinets off the door. Tess and Ellie will eventually make their way to you and block the door with a printer so you can get inside.

There are more supplies in this room if you need them. In the next room, drop down on the left side. Crawl under where you just were and then drop down again on the left side.

Maze

Circle around and make your right into a threshold. You’ll come to an area where you have to crouch. Once on the other side, make a sharp left turn and then hug the left wall until you find a guy. Climb up there and when you reach the end do a 180 and climb up. Then head right. There’s a narrow path you need to cross on the right. Once on the other side, there’s another narrow path on the left that leads to some supplies.

Head back to the OLIVER LLF sign and turn left and head down. At the bottom, turn right. There are some supplies on your left before you head into the opening.

After you drop down, there are some parts on a bench. There are some supplements near the phone booth behind you. Keep going until you find a dead soldier with a Molotov next to him.

Artifact 13—Firefly Map

Follow Tess up some stairs. On the right side of the stairs is a dead soldier with artifact 13—Firefly Map laying next to him.

Now head down the stairs and keep left. There’s a spot that you can crouch under. On the other side are a ton of enemies and a lot of resources. It’s up to you if you want to sneak by.

Artifact 14—Note to Derek

From where you start, crouch down and head left and around the infected feeding on a corpse. In the store behind him is artifact 14—Note to Derek in a drawer. This has the combination to a safe that we’ll get to in a second.

Safe 1

Exit the store and head straight to the other side. Stay crouched and avoid clickers when necessary. You’ll find a safe in the store opposite the store you were just at. There’s a runner by the safe but he’s looking down. Approach him slowly and you can kill him without a sound and then get the contents of the safe.

There are some supplies in the area near the safe. Top off your Molotovs if your inventory is full. Wait for a nearby clicker to get close to the store and then exit the store and follow the clicker until he starts to go right. You need to keep going and veer off slightly to the left. There’s a clicker in this area that you need to stealth kill. After he’s dead, boost Tess up so she can grab the ladder and then climb up.
