💡 Pro Tips for 100% Collection

  • Save frequently. Some collectibles require precise jumps or puzzles. Don't risk losing progress.
  • Use the map. Pin each location as you go so you can return to missed items later.
  • Bring a full team. Some combat challenges are easier with support characters.
  • Check at night. A few collectibles only appear during the in-game night cycle (not covered in this guide, but keep it in mind).
