Jeffrey Parkin (he/him) has been writing video game guides for Polygon for almost seven years. He has learned to love just about every genre of game that exists.

In this Uncharted 2: Among Thieves guide, we’ll help you find the eight treasures in Chapter 25 “Broken Paradise,” part of the PS4’s Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.

We’ve organized our guides 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.

Phurba Thogchag treasure location

This final chapter starts with a lot of running, getting shot at, and cutscenes. At the bottom of Shambala, once you pick up all the ammo you can (and realize it’s mostly useless), you’ll take on three of the locals. From there, you’ll head into a room lined with statues. The Phurba Thogchag is on the second statue along the left side.

Clay Yamantaka Head treasure location

Once you’ve climbed and jumped your way out of that first arena, you’ll make a discovery about the blue tree sap. In the hallway that opens, look along the left side at the far end for the Clay Yamantaka Head.

Gold-leaf Statue Head treasure location

Some climbing, swinging, and several exploding tree roots later, you’ll come back outside. Drop down from the first balcony, and turn right. Head all the way out to the cliff edge — there’s also an M4 out here. The Gold-leaf Statue Head is down the stairs on the right near the doorway(?).

Fibula Thogchag treasure location

After a huge firefight, the three of you will get through a door and drop into an aqueduct (full of water and enemy soldiers). Clear out all the soldiers, and then head to the first set of stairs along the waterway. The Fibula Thogchag will be along the roofline on the left side.

Unusual Bronze Mask treasure location

After the waterway and another quick firefight, you and Elena will push a cart to reach a ledge. As you’re climbing up, look off to the right. The Unusual Bronze Mask is on top of a branch across the courtyard. Clamber over to it and pick it up.

Mani Jewel Thogchag treasure location

Inside Shambala’s main temple, you’ll immediately have another fight. Once the enemies — both soldiers and guardians — are clear, head to the stairs at the far side (where the guardians entered). Turn back to the statues in the center of the room to spot the Mani Jewel Thogchag.

Wooden Vajrapani Mask treasure location

When you climb the stairs out of that arena, you’ll follow the hall to the left. Look up the stairs, and you’ll see the Wooden Vajrapani Mask along the ceiling.

Bronze Statue Head treasure location

As you climb several flights of stairs through the temple, stick close to the outside (left hand) wall. On the landing that has a huge tree root across it, you’ll find the Bronze Statue Head behind some rubble (it’s very hard to spot if you’re not looking for it).
