The Last Of Us 2 Training Manuals Guide: Where To Find Every Upgrade

In the world of The Last of Us Part 2, finding supplements can help you build new skills to do all kinds of things, from developing more efficient crafting to improving your stealth capabilities. But earning those skills first requires that you first unlock them by discovering Training Manuals, books that impart new knowledge to Ellie so she can start to hone her new abilities.

The thing is, many of those Training Manuals require some scavenging to discover, and are often hidden off the beaten path. To help you out, we’ve tracked down every Training Manual in The Last of Us Part 2, to help you grab every skill and earn a variety of Trophies. Check out the full list below. It’s worth noting that it’s possible you might find Training Manuals in places we haven’t marked–it seems The Last of Us Part 2’s items are somewhat dynamic, and if you miss a manual at one location, it might appear further into the game in another. That said, we’ve definitely located manuals at all these places, and if you follow our guide, you should too.

There’s tons of more coverage of The Last of Us Part 2 for your enjoyment now that the game is out. Check out our big The Last of Us Part II guide roundup, which includes our spoiler-free complete walkthrough. You’ll also want to check out our The Last of Us Part 2 review, which comes in non-spoilery and more-spoilery versions.

Seattle Day 1 – Downtown

Your first Training Manual requires some effort to get to. Head for the highway overpass at 6th and Marion. Approaching from Marion street, you’ll see some collapsed roads and a fire engine. Ride to where the military trucks are parked, get out, and climb the one closest to the edge near the fire engine. You can jump across from that one to the other overpass. Go around the right side of the engine to find a rope you can use to repel down over the edge of the overpass. Swing down to the chunk of broken highway below to get inside a cargo crate. Inside is a Crafting Training Manual.

Seattle Day 1 – Capitol Hill

After getting through Eastbrook Elementary, you’ll enter a new section of town, where you can explore several empty storefronts. Once you’ve passed through the motel, look for a bookstore near the gas station–it has a blue door you can enter through in the back, or windows you can break. In the adjoining cafe, find the table near the front door to grab the Stealth Training Manual beside a typewriter.

Seattle Day 2 – Hillcrest

As you explore the neighborhood of Hillcrest, you’ll hop over a truck to clear a fence. Look for a liquor store near a sinkhole that divides you from the staircase you’re trying to reach. Inside the liquor store, to the back and drop down into the basement. There are two shamblers here, so watch your step. When you hit the exit, a destroyed staircase, you’ll enter a daycare center. Look for a body of an infected with a Precision Training Manual on the ground beside it.

Seattle Day 2 – The Seraphites (Dusk)

The Training Manual you’re looking for is in a WLF safehouse located in an apartment building. Keep going down Route 5 until you hit a metal gate you can’t open. (If you jump the fence to get inside, you’ll find a puzzle with a dumpster to solve.) Across the street from the gate is an apartment building with several routes inside, but the easiest path is accessed by climbing on top of the panel truck alongside the building to get to the second floor. Pass through the apartment to the hallway beyond, where you’ll see the white door of another apartment. Inside that one is a Workbench. Use it, then look in the bedroom of this apartment for the Explosives Training Manual.

Seattle Day 1 – On Foot

After getting through the hardware store, you’ll use a rope to get onto the roof of a building. Dropping down inside, you’ll discover it’s a boat repair shop. As you progress toward finding your way out, you’ll get access to the second floor. Use the ladder you find there to make a bridge to the boat in the center of the room. Inside its cabin, you’ll discover the Covert Ops Training Manual.

Seattle Day 1 – Hostile Territory (Dusk)

On your way to the aquarium, you’ll soon come to a string of linked storefronts. Inside the Jasmine Bakery, you’ll find a safe. You’ll need to go looking in the other stores for the note that contains the combination (which, if you’d rather speed up the process, is 68-96-89). To find it, go through the Red Dragon bar to find a path to the second floor, then jump from the balcony to the building across the way. Find a hole in the floor you can drop through, but before you do, grab the Jasmine Bakery Safe artifact off the shelf to the left. Open the safe in the bakery to find the Close Quarters Training Manual.

Seattle Day 1 – The Forest (Night)

Keep moving through the woods until you find an auto shop; you’ll have to lift up the door to get inside. Once you’re in, you’ll find a Workbench. Look for a door on the side of the room, then turn right so you can reach the front office. Inside is the Firearms Field Manual.

Seattle Day 1 – The Coast (Night)

Further on after moving through a cargo shipping yard, you’ll climb into a crashed ferry. Keep moving toward the top deck, but when you hit the long hallway on the side, push to the back to find the Mutiny Note artifact, which has a safe code you’ll need. When you get outside to the sun deck, turn left at the top of the stairs to reach the back of the boat. Inside the cabin at the aft end, you’ll find a safe: use the code 90-77-01 to open it and get the Ordinance Training Manual.

With that, you should have all the Training Manuals, unlocking every skill tree and earning you the Journeyman Trophy. In order to earn the trophies for unlocking all the skills, you’ll need to replay The Last of Us Part 2 on New Game Plus mode to find the supplements you need.

The Last Of Us 2 Weapons Guide: Where To Find Every Gun

Note: We’ve gone out of our way not to include spoilers for anything that happens in The Last of Us Part 2, but looking at any photos or reading any descriptions might give away plot details you’d rather now know. If you’re hoping to remain completely unspoiled, we recommend playing through the game first.

Scouring the post-apocalyptic cities of The Last of Us Part 2 will uncover all kinds of crafting materials–things you can use to build bombs, health kits, ammunition, and more. But all that scavenging will also often help you find more than just alcohol and empty plastic bottles. You’ll also often come across something a little better: additional firearms and weapons that can give you an edge against the many foes you’ll face along the way, both infected and human.

We’ve outlined where you can find every weapon in The Last of Us Part 2, to help make sure you find every advantage (and unlock the High Caliber Trophy). Though we’re marking where we found these weapons, it’s worth noting that The Last of Us 2 seems pretty dynamic–if you miss one, you might find another copy somewhere else. Follow our guide and you’re guaranteed to find every one, however.

Check out our spoiler-free walkthrough, as well as a suite of other guides, in our huge The Last of Us Part II guide roundup–which also includes some essential tips you should know. If you’re curious about how the game stacks up, check out our The Last of Us Part II review.

Pump Action Shotgun – Seattle Day 1: Downtown

No Caption Provided

The first weapon you’ll find out in the world is the Pump Action Shotgun. This one is off the beaten path, but first becomes available in the open-world area of Seattle Downtown. When you get to the portion in which you explore the area and map it as you go, head for Westlake Bank at 5th and James. Inside, make your way to the vault; you can get the code from a note found near a skeleton. (If you’d rather skip that step, the code is: 60-23-06.)

When you get the vault open, find the skeleton of the bank robber who was locked inside and you’ll find the Pump Action Shotgun still in his hands.

Trap Mine Bomb – Seattle Day 1: Capitol Hill

No Caption Provided

The Trap Mine isn’t another firearm, but rather, an improvised explosive you can craft once you find your first example. You can locate it on Seattle Day 1 after the Eastbrook Elementary portion. Once you leave the school, you’ll enter a complex full of townhouses, then move on to a motel. Before passing through the motel, turn to the right and look for an apartment building with red shutters. Use the nearby dumpster to climb up to the second floor and get inside. Head to the bedroom, where you’ll find the Trap Mine on the bend.

Bow – Seattle Day 2: Hillcrest

No Caption Provided

This one’s pretty easy. Your path through Hillcrest will take you to the house of Boris, a local man mentioned in most of the notes and artifacts scattered throughout town. Making your way through the house gets you the bow, which is extremely useful for landing silent kills against enemies at range.

Hunting Pistol – Seattle Day 1: On Foot

No Caption Provided

Like the shotgun, the Hunting Pistol is easy to miss. It requires you to open a safe in an optional location. After passing through the hardware store, you’ll enter a boat repair shop, making your way to the roof to get out. From there, you’ll drop down next to a trainyard off to your left. Before dropping down, get inside the building on your right by finding a hole in the wall near the fence to find the safe–a note with the code can be found in a nearby trailer (the code is: 17-38-07). The Hunting Pistol is inside.

Double-Barrel Shotgun – Seattle Day 1: Hostile Territory

No Caption Provided

Once you set out against at dusk, continue until you find a series of linked storefronts, including a pharmacy, Jasmine Bakery, and Red Dragon Bar. Heading through the bar can get you up to the second floor, and from there you can jump across to the stores on the other side, which are locked. There’s a hole in the floor you can use to drop down to the ground floor. You can find the Double Barrel Shotgun behind the shop’s counter.

Crossbow – Seattle Day 1: The Coast

No Caption Provided

After darkness has fallen, you’ll go through the forest, then a construction site to reach the coast. Your path to the aquarium will take you into a crashed ferry. You can’t miss the Crossbow, which is in the hands of a body you’ll shove out of the way to get through a door.

Flamethrower – Seattle Day 2: The Descent

No Caption Provided

Once you’ve crossed the sky bridge, you’ll have to make your way back down to the street through a destroyed hotel. You’ll use a fire hose to descend from the first level you can access. Keep moving until you hit a spot where you can drop down to the next floor by hopping over a ledge. Instead of jumping, though, look for a nearby bathroom door you can slip through. On the other side, you’ll find the skeleton of a FEDRA officer holding the Flamethrower.

Silenced Submachine Gun – Santa Barbara: Pushing Inland

You can’t miss the final weapon in the game, luckily. You’ll end up with it after a cutscene as you make your way through the Pushing Inland chapter of Santa Barbara, after leaving the boat and heading for town.

Once you’ve got the Silenced Submachine Gun, you should have every weapon in the game and unlock the High Caliber Trophy. If you’re going after the Platinum Trophy for The Last of Us Part 2, you’ll also need to upgrade all the weapons–but to get the materials necessary, you’ll need to finish the game and restart it in New Game Plus mode. Check out our guide for finding every Workbench to help you upgrade your guns and unlock the In the Field and Prepared For the Worst Trophies.

NHL 21 Wasn’t Announced At EA Play Live, But Hockey Fans Should Not Worry

EA’s big E3-style announcement event, EA Play Live 2020, brought a lot of news about Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21, but the company’s other big sports game–NHL 21–wasn’t mentioned at all.

The game’s community manager said on Twitter that there is no reason to worry. The game is coming, and it’s expected to be the franchise’s best skate forward yet, the developer said.

This is nothing new or unusual, as EA typically focuses on Madden and FIFA during its E3 events, and leaves NHL for a later date.

Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21 are the first of EA’s sports games to debut on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, and NHL 21 is expected to also be available on those next-generation consoles as well. All of EA’s sports games this year will also be on current-generation consoles, and PC in some cases.

EA might have even more sports games to announce in the time ahead. EA Sports UFC 4 is also reportedly in the works, while reporter Jeff Grubb recently said that EA will revive its golf series.

EA’s NHL series has recently made headlines for how NHL 20 features racist player and team names. EA is taking action against these offending players, while the game has been updated with a new new splash page about Black Lives Matter.

For more on what EA did announce at EA Play, check out GameSpot’s roundup of all the big news, including Skate 4.

Madden 21 And FIFA 21 Look Stunning In These New 4K Images

EA Sports has shared new images of Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21 following EA Play Live, where the games were shown off and discussed. The new “4K” images were posted on EA’s website, and the description says they represent “game engine footage.”

One of the Madden NFL 21 images shows superstar QB Tom Brady in his new Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey following his trade from New England to Tampa Bay. His image is meant to showcase the game’s new environmental effects–in this case, it’s the rain specifically. The image also highlights how jerseys will be affected by rain; you can see the impact on the cloth of Brady’s jersey here.

Brady in a Bucs jersey? It's weird.

The other images show how, once again, EA is highlighting perspiration to help demonstrate a new level of fidelity with the sports games. In one of the FIFA 21 images, we see the outside of Liverpool FC’s home field, Anfield, with fans taking selfies. This is presumably meant to demonstrate how FIFA 21 will feature an “unprecedented matchday experience” encompassing elements beyond the sport itself.

You can check out each image in the gallery above–be sure to click the images to see them in full size. For more on how Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21 make use of the PS5 and Xbox Series X tech, check out GameSpot’s rundown of all the new features and details.

Madden NFL 21 launches on August 28, while FIFA 21 is releasing on October 3 according to a leak on Steam.

EA will also release NHL 21, but it was not part of EA Play Live, which is no surprise given that EA historically announces NHL games later in the year. Also not at the show was the rumored EA Sports UFC 4. According to reporter Jeff Grubb, EA will announce this MMA game later this year, while he also said EA is returning to the world of golf games.

EA Play Live 2020 was a big show packed with news, including the reveal of the long-awaited Skate 4. For more on the show, check out GameSpot’s roundup of all the big news and reveals.

The Last Of Us 2 Antique Ring Location Guide – Where To Find The Collectible

Note: We’ve gone out of our way not to include spoilers for anything that happens in The Last of Us Part 2, but looking at any photos or reading any descriptions might give away plot details you’d rather now know. If you’re hoping to remain completely unspoiled, we recommend playing through the game first.

There are quite a few Easter eggs, pop culture references, and callbacks scattered throughout The Last of Us Part 2. Most are story beats or set dressing you can find throughout the world, but a few are more involved than that. Among the many collectibles in the game are two special items you can find that unlock Trophies: the Antique Ring and the Strange Relic. Both are fun callbacks to Naughty Dog’s games of the past–but they’re also both easy to miss. Here’s everything you need to know to track down the Antique Ring, which pops up during Seattle Day 1.

There’s tons of more guides coverage of The Last of Us Part 2 for your enjoyment now that the game is out. You can keep up with the latest suite guides in our huge The Last of Us Part II walkthrough and guide roundup–which also includes some essential tips you should know. But if you’re curious about how the game stacks up, check out our The Last of Us Part II review.

Seattle Day 1 – Downtown

You can find the Antique Ring relatively early in The Last of Us Part 2, during the Seattle Day 1 portion. After getting through the gate into the Seattle QZ, you’ll enter a relatively open-world section of the game as you explore Downtown Seattle. Here, you’ll be able to visit a number of optional locations to find collectibles, supplies, weapons, and upgrades. You can also track down the Antique Ring.

To find the ring, head to the Westlake Bank location, located near the corner of 5th and James on your map. It’s just to the left of where you first enter Downtown.

Get inside the bank and make your way to the vault. You’ll need the code to open it, which you can get from finding the Bank Robber Letter artifact in a bag near a skeleton. Use the code 60-23-06 to open the vault and go inside.

No Caption Provided

Once you’re in there, you’ll find a lot of cool things, including some supplies, an additional artifact, and the Pump Action Shotgun. Finally, head to the back right corner of the vault and look for a safety deposit box you can open. You won’t need a combination; opening it will uncover the Antique Ring.

Naughty Dog fans will recognize the ring, which is engraved with the phrase “Sic Parvis Magna.” The ring is from the Uncharted franchise, and once belonged to Nathan Drake. The ring was previously owned by the explorer Sir Francis Drake, and according to Nate, the inscription means, “Greatness from small beginnings.”

The Trophy you unlock for finding the ring is called “So Great and Small,” which refers to the literal translation of the Latin phrase.
