Part of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves treasure locations guide

In this Uncharted 2: Among Thieves guide, we’ll help you find the five treasures in “A Rock and a Hard Place,” part of the PS4’s Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.

We’ve organized our guide by chapters. To find the chapter name, press the Options button and select Load Game from the pause menu. The name of the current chapter (but not the number) appears on the bottom line of the most recent save in the Load menu.

There’s no map in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, so for each of the collectibles below, we used photo mode to zoom out and give you some context surrounding the treasure locations. Use the images to make sure you’re in the right area and the added arrows to help you find your way.

Wrathful Deity Statue treasure location

After the (literal) train wreck and opening cutscene, you’ll take control on a cliff edge. Before you move, look past Nathan for the Wrathful Deity Statue.

Saraswati Statue treasure location

Shortly after that, you’ll squeeze through the wreckage and come to a small clearing with a big fire on your right and door on your left. Grab the Saraswati Statue from the far side of the clearing.

Tibetan Snuff Box treasure location

To get out of the next train car, you’ll shoot a padlock. Back outside, look above you. Shoot the corpse hanging out of the wreckage, and retrieve the Tibetan Snuff Box.

Bhutanese Lime Box treasure location

After you run into your first living soldier, you’ll climb through more wreckage. At the top, you’ll jump across to another train car. Before going in, drop off the back and onto the crate below. The Bhutanese Lime Box is on the ground on the side closest to the camera.

Ghau Amulet Thogchag treasure location

After Nate gets knocked out (again) and another cutscene, you’ll jump and climb your way back into the train wreck. As soon as you climb inside, look behind you for the Ghau Amulet Thogchag.
