The Last of Us Part I The Quarantine Zone – Beyond The Wall

Beyond The Wall

Follow her until you gather your gear.

Artifact 1—Boston Q.Z. Map

Once you get Joel’s backpack, note that he has artifact 1—Boston Q.Z. Map in his backpack from the start. Unless in the original and remaster, you don’t have to view it to count towards your total.

Artifact 2—Military Pamphlet

He also has artifact 2—Military Pamphlet.

On the way to the checkpoint, you can stop and watch some drama unfold.

Around the corner, boost Tess up. Notice the yellow bars near the edge. This is a common theme throughout the game. If you see, it’s a subtle indication that you’re supposed to go that way. Tess will pull you up and then proceed a few steps and lift a door to get to the next area.

Optional Conversation 2

Follow Tess outside. She’ll stop, turn around, and let you talk to her for optional conversation 2.

Outside, look for a ladder. It’s located on the right side of the other building near a car. Place the ladder near an opening to get into the building. Notice the yellow fabric waving in the wind.

There’s nothing in the first room with the pool table. The kitchen in the next room has some parts that you can use later to upgrade your equipment.

Firefly pendant 1—David Michael Vigil

In the next room by where Tess wants you to go is your first firefly pendant—David Michael Vigil.

Head downstairs and follow Tess until you reach some spores. Joel will put his gas mask on. In the next room, crouch to get through the wall.

Optional Conversation 3

You’ll pass a dead guy on the floor who seems to be the source of the spores. Interact with him to get A conversation prompt appears above him, it doesn’t count towards the optional conversation 3.

Move the board up against the wall that blocks your path. On the other side is a guy pinned under some rumble. He’s been bitten and begs for you to put him out of his misery. However, ammo is rare and nothing bad happens if you don’t shoot him except for a guilty conscience.

Near his feet you’ll find some ammo. There’s nothing else in this area so look for a doorway that you have to crawl under. In this room, you’ll be introduced to the infected for the first time. Sneak up to the first guy and choke him from behind. If you crouch and walk slowly, you can avoid alerting the other 2 infected in this area to your location. Sneak by them and you can find some health in the kitchen and some ammo in a room next to the kitchen.

Artifact 3—Note to Brother

At the top of the stairs, make a sharp left and go through a door to find artifact 3—Note to Brother. If you skipped the first subchapter, Joes gets the first 2 artifacts automatically.

Next, drop off the edge of the building into a swamp-like area. Tess will lead you to a pallet that she will move out the way to enter the next building.

There’s nothing in the first room, so just grab the plank and pass it to Tess. She’ll put it across a gap allowing you to reach the next area. Once outside, if you’re low on heath, there’s some on the right at the far end before you head down.

Firefly pendant 2—Ben Glueck

Drop down and then follow Tess until you have to crouch in order to proceed. In this area, look at the tree on your left for the firefly pendant 2—Ben Glueck. You’ll have to shoot it off the tree to get it. Aim carefully.

Then follow Tess into a building to complete this subchapter.
