Woods and Outskirts

This Chapter starts in the woods, just a bit outside of Seattle with Ellie and Dina riding together.

After a short while you will see the first signs of civilization. Head to the Bus Stop, one its side hangs a Trading Card.

A bit along the Freeway, you’ll see a construction trailer on the left side. Head inside to grab a Trading Card as well as an Artifact. The latter one is a map of Downtown Seattle, which will be featured in the next Chapter.

Outside the Gate

Once you have arrived at the outside of the large Gate, there are a few collectibles along the way. The first one being a Journal Entry about the message on the wall.

Also, check both of the large trailer buildings. Both contain an Artifact each.

Before climbing up the ladder, check the little guard house in the fenced area (left of the Journal Entry) for 3 Parts. Now go find a truck parked in the back corner of the area, it has 7 Parts on its back. From the truck you can climb up to the cages and reach the ladder on the side of the big wall.

While climbing, you have to make some sprint jumps + to successfully cross the larger gaps.

Once you have scaled the wall, there is a good overview on the inside perimeter and the locations of collectibles.

There will be some in the watchtower, inside the trailer and on top of the trailer.

Behind the Gate

But there are even more collectibles we need to obtain earlier! Before heading down the ladder, take the ladder on the left that’s going up. It’s easy to miss as it is not in the field of view when entering. On the upper level you’ll find a Trading Card, an Artifact and some 5 Parts.

After getting these, head down both ladders and into the trailer in front of you. There is an important Artifact, which tells us the combinations to unlock all gates in this chapter and later chapters.

Get to the backside of the trailer and you will see a generator. There are three things you can do with the cable attached to it:

1. Throw it diagonally over the trailer to climb it and access the roof-collectibles: An Artifact, a Trading Card, 4 Parts & 13 Supplements. It might take a try or two to get the correct angle and not have the cable interfere with the large sign on top of the trailer.
2. Take it through the nearby door to power up and unlock the small inner Gate.
3. Throw it over the large fence to the other trailer – this will let you power up the Main Gate Controls.

Once you have obtained everything you need, head inside the second trailer to enter the combination 0512 and let Dina and your horse in.

Hold on – don’t leave this building yet! From the code console, turn around 180°, smash in the windows and climb through. This leads to an easy to miss backyard. From there you can climb the watchtower for 12 Parts & 17 Supplements. It can be reached by breaking a window inside of the second trailer.

Now, we can proceed and head towards another Gate nearby.

This finishes Chapter 8: The Gate in The Last of Us Part 2. Next is Chapter 9: Downtown.
