Here’s the The Last Of Us Part II Archivist trophy guide which will help you find all artefacts and journal entries.
Collecting all artefacts and journal entries will take up the bulk of your time whilst playing through The Last Of Us Part II as there’s 127 artefacts and 20 journal entries to find:
This guide will take you through every chapter which holds artefacts in the order you’ll find them with details on how to collect each and every artefact in the game.
Journal entries can only be found as Ellie and usually require to wait for a few seconds at a given point in the story then press Triangle to log the entry in your journal.
Given the size of this guide, I have placed all journal entries in their own section at the bottom of the guide. Use the quick link to jump straight there and if you do miss any, you can get them via chapter select as long as you don’t complete the final mission; Chapter: The Farm, Epliogue on your current save.
It will be beneficial to have the Enhanced Listen Mode on (Pause> Options> Accessibility> Navigation And Traversal> Enhanced Listen Mode> On> Scan Range> 30m> Scan Time> 1s).
You can then hold R1+Circle to send out a sonar which will highlight everything you can collect nearby including any artefacts and journal entries.
Once you get to the penultimate chapter: Santa Barbara, The Beach make a manual save which will then allow you to go back through the game via chapter select from the main menu enabling you to collect anything you may have missed.
Please Note: If you save during the final mission: The Farm, Epilogue, you will need to play through the entire game again as chapter select will then be disabled!
