Uncharted: Golden Abyss collectibles guide
Find every treasure, glyph, carving, mystery, charcoal rubbing, and photo opportunity throughout this handheld adventure
Chapter 2
Treasure 1: Yomosakotet
As soon as chapter 2 begins, climb about halfway up the statue in front of you, to the point seen in the screenshot. You’ll then be able to leap to the ledge on the left and grab this treasure from the grass.
Photo 1: Takwichunna
Soon after treasure one, you’ll drop down from a relatively high ledge and see Dante waiting for you ahead, standing on a fallen tree. Turn around at this point and look at the ledge you just came down from for a photo prompt.
Glyph 1: Aspect of Cuhtlitztonal
From the log bridge, Dante will point out a glyph resting in the eye of a statue. Make your way over to it and cut through the bamboo. Climb up the statue to reach the glyph.
Charcoal Rubbing 1
As soon as you meet up with Dante back on solid ground, hop across the small gap then turn to your left. Leap across to the handhold and climb down the wall onto a log in the river. From here you can get a charcoal rubbing.
Charcoal Rubbing 2
Now start catching up to Dante. Just before you reach him, look for this patch of bamboo to your right. Cut through it, climb the vine found behind it, then up the column.
Photo 2: Abandoned Truck
After killing the first two hostiles you meet, head over to this rock and face the construction vehicle. A photo prompt will pop up.
Photo 3: The Road
Once you’re standing on the roof of the truck, a photo prompt will appear.
Glyph 2: Aspect of Ahucheactl
Follow Dante off the back of the truck, but instead of going left with him, go right and cut through the bamboo. Follow this path until you reach a wall. Climb up to find a glyph.
Photo 4: Tree Poison
There will be a big firefight after the cutscene in which you meet Chase. She will then point out a rope and begin climbing it. Instead of following her, turn around and climb onto the raised bit of earth at the center of this area. From there, step onto the wooden plank bridge to your left. A photo prompt will appear.
Charcoal Rubbing 3
Continue across the wooden plank bridge and past the cots. There is a symbol on the rock face in front of you from which you can create a rubbing.
Glyph 3: Aspect of Cipatli
Go back to the center area and run across the second, longer wooden plank bridge. At the end, on the ground next to a skull, you’ll find this treasure.
Photo 5: Glow-In-The-Dark Mining
After a short cutscene with Chase, you’ll be drawn into another firefight. Take out your enemies then turn around and look for this metal gate with the radiation logo on it. Approach it, and a photo prompt will appear.
Glyph 4: Aspect of Mayhuixico
Soon after following Chase across the log bridge, look to the rock wall on your left for some handholds. Climb to the ledge above and grab this glyph from a statue’s eye socket.
Charcoal Rubbing 4
After using the long rope to rappel down the cliff face (taking out some goons along the way) check nearby for a patch of bamboo. Cut it down and climb up the wall to find a symbol ripe for a charcoal rubbing.
Photo 6: Ibeorgun Pictoglyphs
Move away from the huge cliff face you just climbed down and turn to face it. At the proper distance, a photo prompt will appear.
