Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End ‘Once a Thief …’ treasures and collectibles locations guide

In this Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End guide, we’ll help you find the nine treasures and three optional conversations in Chapter 6 “Once a Thief …”

We’ve organized our guides by chapters. To find the chapter name, head to the main menu. When you choose to continue your Story game, you’ll see the chapter number and name. (Unlike the previous games, the chapter name is not part of your save file.) In the same menu, you can make sure you haven’t missed any collectibles in the Chapter Select option.

Chapter 6 follows Nate and Sam as they infiltrate the Rossi Estate.

There’s no map in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, 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.

Treasure: Mughal Water Container location

At the start of the chapter, you’ll be following Sam and having a conversation. When you reach the end of the valley you’re walking through, you’ll spot the estate on your right. Head to the left instead, and you’ll find the Mughal Water Container at the far left edge of the cliff.

Treasure: Nephrite Brass Cup location

After a bit of swinging and climbing, you’ll reach a lemon orchard (grove?). Walk straight forward. There’s a peach or tan colored house directly ahead of you over a small rise. The Nephrite Brass Cup is on a windowsill a little your right.

Optional conversation 1

Right after you pick up the Nephrite Brass Cup, turn left and follow Sam. Just a little down the hill, you’ll get the prompt for this conversation when Sam says, “It’s the little things you miss the most.”

Optional conversation 2

At the bottom of the orchardgrove, you’ll duck into a building, and immediately rappel out of it down to some ruins. After a short walk, Sam will kneel along a cliff edge and ask, “Did you at least take any pictures?” and the prompt will appear for the second conversation.

Treasure: Viking Cloak Clasp location

A lot of climbing later, you’ll both take off your coveralls and enter the estate. After the cutscene, turn around and head back into the library you climbed into. The Viking Cloak Clasp is on a desk to the left of the couch where Sully was waiting.

Treasure: Mother of Pearl Horn location

Back inside the party, walk forward and take the first right out onto the balcony. Turn around to your right to find the Mother of Pearl Horn on the ledge to the left of the column.

Optional Conversation 3

After grabbing the Mother of Pearl Horn, head over to Sam along the railing to trigger the third conversation.

Treasure: Persian Bronze Bowl location

Back inside, follow Sully and Sam. After you pickpocket the keycard, you’ll enter the kitchen and see a cutscene. Once you get control again, turn left. Walk straight toward the wall with the pipes. The Persian Bronze Bowl is tucked in the boxes on your right.

Treasure: Brass Barber’s Bowl location

As you keep following Sam, you’ll pass a room with armed goons and head down some stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, turn around to your right, and the Brass Barber’s Bowl is on some barrels under the stairs you just came down.

Treasure: Syrian Vase location

After you rearrange the kegs and casks in the cellar, and crawl through the air ducts, you come out into a courtyard. Sam will run into a tunnel on your right. Hop over the railing on your left, and follow the building around the corner. Hop up to the ladder there, and then climb the vertical pipe. Climb to the right along the windowsills back around the corner of the building. Drop onto the roof to find the Syrian Vase.

Treasure: Persian Candlestick location

When you return to Sam, you’ll boost him up to a ladder. At the top of the ladder, take the first left and cross a small bridge. Climb up the cross-shaped brickwork on the doorway you come to. Look a little to the right to see a balcony you can jump to. Hop down to it, and pick up the Persian Candlestick from one of the pillars.

Treasure: Mughal Dagger location

As you approach the power room, you’ll (attempt to) swing across some poles to a balcony with stairs. After the cutscene, Nate will be under that balcony near some stone pillars. Jump to first pole, and then drop down to another. Swing over to the ledge ahead of you, and then turn left (toward the sea). Drop off the ledge ahead of you. Climb to Nate’s right and up a little along the pillar to find the Mughal Dagger.
