Finding all skulls is also required to unlock the LASO playlist. Which you need to complete for the MYTHIC trophy & achievement. There is no collectible tracker by chapter. The only way you can track collectibles is by going to the main menu and then clicking on collectibles. Check the names of the skulls and terminals against the guide to see which ones you are missing. Collectibles are not saved instantly when picking them up. You need to reach the next checkpoint, then you can save and quit to the main menu. You can jump to any Rally Point directly via chapter select, which makes it fast to clean up anything you missed.
