Uncharted 2 all treasure locations guide (2024)

In Polygon’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves treasure guide, we’ll help you find every collectible in every chapter of the game, which is part of the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection on PS4.

There’s no map in Uncharted 2, which makes pinpointing the location of each treasure more difficult than it otherwise would be. So we used photo mode to zoom out and give you some context surrounding each treasure’s location. Then we added arrows to help you find the precise location.

Table of contents

We’ve organized our Uncharted 2 treasures guide based on chapters, but we fully admit that their names are difficult to find. To find out what chapter you’re in, press the Options button and select “Load Game” from the pause menu. The name of the chapter (but not the number) appears on the bottom line of the Load menu’s most recent box.

A handful of chapters don’t have treasures. So those chapters are (technically) “missing” from the list below, but that’s only because there’s nothing to write about in them.

There are five treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 1 “A Rock and a Hard Place.”

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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.

Chapter 2 “Breaking and Entering” treasure locations

There are 10 treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 2 “Breaking and Entering.”

Byzantine Gold Coin treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

When you climb out of the sewers, the Byzantine Gold Coin will be on a box behind you and to the right.

Glass Evil Eye treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Very shortly after the first treasure, you’ll boost Flynn up a ladder. At the top of the ladder, turn around to see the Glass Evil Eye on a scaffold behind you.

Ottoman Ring treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

When you get to the door into the museum, look to your right before going inside. Grab the Ottoman Ring from the suit of armor in the corner.

Silver Amulet Box treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

As you’re making your way up to the roof, you and Flynn will split up. As you work your way around, you’ll end up on an awning with guards below you. The Silver Amulet Box is in the flower bed.

Silver Belt Buckle treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Once you’ve disabled another alarm and you’re through the gate, look for the fountain on the right side of the courtyard. The Silver Belt Buckle is on one of the pedals — just watch out for the guards.

Ivory Chess Knight treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After you’re past a lot more guards, you and Flynn will climb up to some rafters. Near the top by the bells, look for the Ivory Chess Knight on a windowsill.

Ottoman Bracelet treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Some more climbing will bring you to a wall where you’ll use Flynn’s rope and some pipes to climb. Instead of climbing up, drop down to the long (architectural) ledge that runs around the corner. Follow it around, and you’ll find the Ottoman Bracelet in the pipe. Just make sure you drop straight down onto the pipe or you’ll fall to your death.

Antique Pocket Watch treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

On the roof, you’ll monkey bar your way around a tower and tranq a guard. A little past that, watch for a banner hanging from a tower on your left. Use your tranquilizer gun to shoot the Antique Pocket Watch off the wall.

Antique Pipe treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After Flynn’s sudden but inevitable betrayal, you’ll be inside the museum with guards shooting at you. Look for the three guards behind a gate. The Antique Pipe is in a small alcove to the left.

Jeweled Bracelet treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Back in the sewers, you’ll continue fleeing from the guards. The Jeweled Bracelet is next to a pipe along your left, directly across from the tunnel that leads to the ladder out.

Chapter 3 “Borneo” treasure locations

There are four treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 3 “Borneo.”

Yuan Dynasty Coin treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Near the beginning of this chapter, you’ll set the first explosive charge. A little past that, you’ll come to a huge tree in the river where Sully will continue right. Look to the left of the tree, and climb onto the fallen log there. Shoot the Yuan Dynasty Coin out of the tree (above the in-the-wrong-hemisphere toucan).

Yuan Dynasty Jade Animal treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Shortly after that, you’ll come up to two guards complaining about being in the jungle. Once they’re knocked out, look near where the guard on the right was standing for another fallen log. Climb it, and grab the Yuan Dynasty Jade Animal from the barrel.

Jade Pei Pendant treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

As you continue forward, Chloe will say you’re getting close to the excavation site. After another quick fight, you’ll climb up a wooden wall. Continue climbing to the very top and shuffle over to the right (toward a couple more wildly-out-of-place toucans). Follow another fallen log to a stream, and then follow that to its end. The Jade Pei Pendant is on some logs there.

Amber Jade Chimera treasure location

This one is a bit hard to explain, so we’ve included a video above for reference.

A little later, you’ll lose your gun and have to fight several soldiers by hand in some water. After the fight, you’ll climb a rope out of the pit where you fought. At the top of the rope, turn right (instead of following Sully). Jump the gap, and follow the path around the rocks. Immediately after the rocks, climb the handholds on your left. Jump across to the poles, and swing over to the wooden beam. Cross the beam to the right, and then turn left. Jump the gap again, and follow the path to pick up the Amber Jade Chimera.

Chapter 4 “The Dig” treasure locations

There are three treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 4 “The Dig.”

Mongol Paiza Passport treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After the fight at the beginning of the level, you’ll end up in Lazarevic’s hut/office, where you’ll see a cutscene and have another fight. Once that’s all done, look out toward where Sully is waiting. There is a shipwreck there with a tall mast and tattered sails. The Mongol Paiza Passport is in the crow’s-nest near the top. Shoot it down.

Jade Belt Slide treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Your next treasure is a little later once you reach the ruins. Inside, you’ll drop to a lower floor and start finding bodies. Off to the right, there’s a broken tiger(?) statue on the ground. Look above it to the statue on the wall to spot the Jade Belt Slide. You’ll have to shoot this one down, too.

Yuan Dynasty Helmet treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

A bit later, after using the black light torch to follow the bloodstains, you’ll find a map and Phurba dagger. After the cutscene, turn to your left and look high on the wall for the Yuan Dynasty Helmet.

Chapter 5 “Urban Warfare” treasure location

There is one treasure to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 5 “Urban Warfare.”

Strange Relic treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Not long into this chapter, you’ll take a detour by climbing up some telephone poles and traversing through (and over) a building. You’ll spot a helicopter flying overhead. When you get back down to street level, you’ll be standing next to a blue car. Head to the right into the dead end alley. Drop through the open manhole, and the Strange Relic will be behind you in the sewer.

Chapter 6 “Desperate Times” treasure locations

There are six treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 6 “Desperate Times.”

Brass Bird Lamp treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After the firefight at the beginning of the chapter, head back to the square. Look for the truck where the soldier with the RPG was. Directly in front of it, there’s a streetlamp. The Brass Bird Lamp is at the very top, but you can’t shoot it down, so you’ll have to climb.

Silver Dress Clasp treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

In the same square (post-fight), look above the temple doorway for the Silver Dress Clasp.

Copper Rice Measure treasure location

A little later, you’ll end up on an awning surrounding the tallest hotel in the city. Continue past the window along the roof to find the Copper Rice Measure.

Yuan Dynasty Urn treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

As you make your way up to the roof to get the hotel’s power back on, you’ll come to a stairwell surrounding a (the?) caged elevator shaft. Climb the stairs to the top, and drop down onto the elevator car for the Yuan Dynasty Urn.

Enameled Snuff Bottle treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

When you cross the wooden bridge to the bombed out kitchen, take out the bad guys, and then head onto the balcony. Jump the railing, and follow the roof around to the left to find the Enameled Snuff Bottle inside an oddly placed suitcase.

Incense Burner treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After you get the power back on and reunite with Chloe, you’ll head to the roof. After some climbing, zip lining, a helicopter fight, and escaping a collapsing building, you’ll end up back on the roofs. Lower the bridge and clear out the soldiers. Look for the red brick structure on the roof when you come off the bridge. Climb the smaller structure behind it (with the water tank on top) to find the Incense Burner.

Chapter 7 “They’re Coming with Us” treasure locations

There are four treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 7 “They’re Coming with Us.”

Worn Pendant treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Right at the start of this chapter, you’ll be in a firefight. After the baddies are cleared out, head back to where you met Elena and Jeff. There’s a ruined house to the right (look for the couch in the street). The Worn Pendant is behind the wall on a box.

Nine Jewel Ring treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Still at the beginning of the chapter, approach the fountain in the middle of the street. Look inside the bell behind the statue at the top to find the Nine Jewel Ring.

Ankhora Water Vessel treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Once you’re past the plaza from the beginning of the chapter, you’ll be able to see the Ankhora Water Vessel while you’re figuring out how to cross the river. From the lower level of the wall you shoot the propane tanks from (either before or after you free the cars), drop down to the stones along the river. Cross over to pick up the treasure.

Silver Shiva Amulet treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After the river and a gunfight, you’ll cut through a house and make your way to a temple. In the courtyard before you head inside, look for the Silver Shiva Amulet on the cart along the left.

Chapter 8 “The City’s Secret” treasure locations

There are two treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 8 “The City’s Secret.”

Bronze Altar Spoon treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

As soon as the chapter starts, before you enter the room with the giant statue, look to the right for a doorway. Use the ledges to climb the broken staircase, and pick up the Bronze Altar Spoon at the top.

Bronze Varaha Statue treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After you solve the statue puzzle and head into the secret temple underground, Nate and Chloe will fall into a trap while exploring. Disarm the trap (by throwing a grenade into the gears), and then look for the Bronze Varaha Statue to the right of the door that opens.

Chapter 9 “Path of Light” treasure locations

There are three treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 9 “Path of Light.”

Copper Lakhe Mask treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

You’ll collect all three of the treasures in this chapter while (and immediately after) solving the giant dagger puzzle. After you get the first blade lowered, you’ll climb up and onto the giant reddish-pink face to progress the puzzle. When you get to the walkway to the right of the face, you’ll see the Copper Lakhe Mask right next to the purple face across the room.

Carved Jade Figurine treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

With the second blade down, you’ll climb up the giant dagger again and walk along the third and final blade. Look past the huge metal censer(?) hanging from the ceiling, and you’ll spot the Carved Jade Figurine along a ledge on the wall. Shoot it down, and then make your way over to it.

Bronze Ganesh Statue treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After the puzzle is solved and the secret doorway is open, you’ll drop into a new room. As you walk in, turn to the left. You’ll find the Bronze Ganesh Statue behind the third column you come to.

Chapter 12 “A Train to Catch” treasure locations

There are five treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 12 “A Train to Catch.”

Nepali Bronze Lion treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

As soon as the chapter starts, you’ll need to find a gun and clear the soldiers from the street. Once they’re handled, watch along the right side of the street for short alley — there’s a green and a blue building along it. The Nepali Bronze Lion is near the gate at the end.

Yuan Dynasty Lotus Jar treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Right after you pick up the Nepali Bronze Lion, you’ll climb a ladder to a nearby roof and boost Elena to a fire escape. Use the stairs to climb the fire escape to the top, and pick up the Yuan Dynasty Lotus Jar.

Cham Lion Mask treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

On your journey to “unstuck” the door for Elena, you’ll climb on some signs and get in a brief shootout. When Elena lowers the walkway, look over by the door you unstuck for her. The Cham Lion Mask is near the wall.

Jeweled Statue Crown treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Shortly after that, you’ll take a zip line down to the train yard. When you land, follow the train to your left to find the Jeweled Statue Crown.

Three-Stone Coral Ring treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Inside the train yard building, the next treasure is over your head when you walk in, but you’ll have to do a bit of jumping and climbing to reach it. When you reach the top of the train of the left side of the building, use the beam and bars along the wall to reach the Three-Stone Coral Ring.

Chapter 13 “Locomotion” treasure locations

There are three treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 13 “Locomotion.”

Miniature Bronze Stupa treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Once you’ve jumped onto the train, make your way to the platform at the tail end to find the Miniature Bronze Stupa.

Yama and Buffalo Statue treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Several cars ahead of there, you’ll reach another passenger car. Climb through a window along the right side, and use the ladder on the outside to climb up to the roof. Pick up the Yama and Buffalo Statue from between the mechanical boxes on the roof.

Newari Bronze Figures treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

The third treasure is in the freight car you reach after crossing the coal(?) car where you have to duck under the signals. Inside the freight car, turn around, and the Newari Bronze Figures will be behind you near the barrels.

Chapter 14 “Tunnel Vision” treasure locations

There are two treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 14 “Tunnel Vision.”

Gilded Bodhisattva Statue treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

On the now-shorter train, you’ll start working your way forward again. After a quick interlude with a sniper rifle, you’ll come to another freight car. The Gilded Bodhisattva Statue in on the floor toward the front.

Tibetan Saddle Ring treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

A couple cars ahead of that freight car, you’ll pass a few jeeps and shoot the lock off a door. The Tibetan Saddle Ring is at the front left of that locked car.

Chapter 15 “Train-Wrecked” treasure locations

There are three treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 15 “Train-Wrecked.”

Tibetan Prayer Wheel treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After you climb the train (again), you’ll get a cutscene, and then end up in a firefight. Handle the three waves of enemy soldiers, and then head downhill to where you entered this arena. Just to the right of where you walked in is a train car with a sniper rifle on top. Stand at the downhill end of that car and face uphill. The Tibetan Prayer Wheel is at the far left of the area a little behind (downhill from) you.

Tibetan Silver Vase treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

From that same train car (you can see better from the top), look for the stacked cars in the middle of the arena — you can see them in the image for the Tibetan Prayer Wheel. The Tibetan Silver Vase is on the far side of the topmost car. Shoot it down to claim it.

Tibetan Knife treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Head to the front of that same sniper rifle train car. The Tibetan Knife will be at the edge of the cliff a little ahead (uphill) and to your right.

Chapter 16 “Where Am I?” treasure locations

There are three treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 16 “Where Am I?”

Ram’s Head Thogchag treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

At the start of the chapter, take the first right you can. Follow the house around past the yak(?), and loop back toward the cliff. The Ram’s Head Thogchag is on the ground.

Bronze Buddha Statue treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Follow your guide through town a little more until you see a couple kids playing soccer and another yak(?) on your left. Turn right, and climb the blue ladder up to the roof. Hop the wall to your right, and then turn around to your left. Hop that stone wall, and the Bronze Buddha Statue will be in the grass ahead of you.

Singing Bowl treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Continue the rest of the way through the village and up the hill. You’ll come to the last building along the road — it’s got a blue porch. Before you head in, go to the left. The Singing Bowl is behind the low wall against the house.

Chapter 17 “Mountaineering” treasure locations

There are six treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 17 “Mountaineering.”

Tibetan Ritual Blade treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Inside the cavern, Tenzin will find a rope and you’ll swing across a gap. You’ll both take a ladder down to a tunnel below you. Before heading into the tunnel, turn around. The Tibetan Ritual Blade will be along the cliff edge.

Clay Deity Head treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

A little deeper into the caves, you’ll come to another gap. After you retrieve the rope, Tenzin will swing across another gap. Instead of swinging across the gap to Tenzin, swing over to the ledge on your right to pick up the Clay Deity Head.

Bronze Chenrezig Statue treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

A bit later, after you find a body and some wolves, Tenzin will boost you up to another path. Climb the icy ledges to the left until you reach an abandoned campsite. The Bronze Chenrezig Statue is past the camp on a ledge below you.

Skull Cap Drum treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After a lot more climbing, Nate will venture forward on his own, part of the roof and some icicles will collapse behind you, and you’ll come to a river. Instead of climbing the ledges nearby, stay along the river and follow it to the cliff. Take a right — there’s a path — to find the Skull Cap Drum.

Silver Needle Case treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

From the river, you’ll climb up a little and backtrack upstream. When you jump across the river to reach a ladder, the Silver Needle Case will be on your left.

Bronze Stupa Ornament treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After reuniting with Tenzin and your fight with the yeti(?), you’ll work your way around the ice pillars. When you reach the corpse (who, thankfully, has some more ammo), continue past him to the left. Jump the gap to the snowy ledge to find the Bronze Stupa Ornament (it won’t be sparkling, so you just have to trust us).

Chapter 18 “Heart of Ice” treasure locations

There are six treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 18 “Heart of Ice.”

Mandala Thogchag treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Inside the temple, after a bit of climbing and jumping, both you and Tenzin will pull some levers and lower sets of three rotating drums. Climb across to the third drum — the one farthest from where you entered the temple. The Mandala Thogchag is at the very top of the third drum on one of the wooden panels that knock you off, so you’ll have to grab it carefully.

Dipa Oil Lamp treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

The room after the drums is full of huge gears. As you maneuver through them, you’ll end up jumping from a horizontal gear to a hanging rope. On the rope, swing to the right to find the Dipa Oil Lamp on a ruined wall. You can grab it while swinging, so don’t jump off the rope.

Tibetan Flint Lighter treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Just after the Dipa Oil Lamp, you’ll end up near some more horizontal gears below. Drop off the edge of the first gear on the right side, and ride it around under the ledge you started on to grab the Tibetan Flint Lighter.

Bronze Dorje treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After you pull the second lever and climb down the ladder to a new gear-filled area, you’ll do a lot of platforming and climbing. On the far side of the room from where you entered, there’s a huge gear set into the wall. When you get to the far side — the side going up — ride this gear to the top, and hop off onto the beams. Cross the beams to other side of the room. You’ll be over where you entered the room at this point. The Bronze Dorje is on a small platform here.

Tibetan Ceremonial Axe treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

When you’re back on the gear side of the room, ride the two vertical gears up to the horizontal gear. Use the pole to swing across to a ledge. From that ledge, look back at the cave’s wall. The Tibetan Ceremonial Axe is on the statue. Shoot it off, and then jump over to pick it up.

Trigram Thogchag treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

As you approach the huge statue at the end of chapter, shoot the Trigram Thogchag off the top of its crown and pick it up as you enter the room beneath.

Chapter 19 “Siege” treasure locations

There are three treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 19 “Siege.”

Amber Skull Bead treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

These treasures are tricky since you’re going to be collecting them during a huge firefight. From the start of the chapter, fight your way forward until you get pinned down by a machine gun emplacement on the left side of the street. Across from the machine gun on the right side, there’s a building with a hay loft on the roof (and there’s an RPG up there, too). The Amber Skull Bead is near the bags in the hay loft.

Antique Ghau treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Keep pushing forward until you reach a door Tenzin opens for you. Climb all the way up to the roof, and take out the soldiers below from the rooftops. When things settle down, head back to the first roof (it’s the one with a red wooden trapdoor). The Antique Ghau is below you on the left.

Bell Thogchag treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Still on the rooftops, look off to the right from where you came up. You’re looking for a blue pergola (or maybe an arbor?). The Bell Thogchag is under it.

Chapter 20 “Cat and Mouse” treasure locations

There are four treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter Chapter 20 “Cat and Mouse.”

Yak Horn Carving treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Near the beginning of the chapter, you and Tenzin will duck across in front of the tank, and fight your way through a building. On the other side, you’ll climb some wooden stairs and have another fight. The Yak Horn Carving is along the right side before you climb the wall.

Bronze Tsongkhapa Statue treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After dodging the tank for a bit, and crossing the street several times, the tank will crash through a wall right next to you. Past that, you’ll fight your way along a path parallel to the main road. The Bronze Tsongkhapa Statue will be on the left.

Tibetan Trumpet treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Just after that, you’ll use a narrow ledge along the cliff’s edge to continue along. After the tank drunkenly crashes above you, you’ll round a corner on some roofs. The Tibetan Trumpet is on the low roof with the red door as soon as you go around the corner.

Gilt Tara Statue treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

A lot more running and fighting will bring you up to the rooftops with Tenzin and some RPGs. After your first shot, you’ll run to another rooftop and another RPG. Just past this second building (or on its roof), turn away from the road and look for a short alley. The Gilt Tara Statue is on the stone wall in that alley.

Chapter 22 “The Monastery” treasure locations

There are eight treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 22 “The Monastery.”

Tibetan Silver Earring treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

As the chapter opens, you’ll climb a cliff up to a staging area with several trucks and lots of boxes (and a few soldiers). Facing away from the cliff edge, look to the left. The Tibetan Silver Earring is over the huge doors. Shoot it down to collect it.

Ritual Crown treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

You’ll (try to) sneak into the next area across a broken bridge and through a pair of red doors. After that, you’ll have a big, drawn out firefight with a lot of soldiers. Don’t worry about the treasure until Elena gives you the all-clear.

Backtrack, and put your back to those first red doors. Head to the right past the burning barrel and drop off the edge. There’s a small red beam below you and to the right where you can grab the Ritual Crown.

Silver Official Seal treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

Deeper into the area where you had the huge fight, head to the machine gun emplacement (you’ll need to go this way to meet Elena). Look back toward the entrance, and then turn to the wall on your right. Use either of the door-shaped hole to hang over the river, and climb to the middle to find the Silver Official Seal along the wall.

Silver Offering Pot treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After you and Elena open another set of doors, you’ll do a lot of precarious climbing. Eventually, you’ll spot Schafer and the bad guys crossing a bridge. Right after you spot them, Elena will take off up the stairs. When you jump the first gap, drop down to the right to find the Silver Offering Pot on a ledge.

Tibetan Turquoise Ring treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

A little more platforming will bring you to a locked door. As you climb and jump to look for another way around, you’ll work your way to the left side of the tower. The Tibetan Turquoise Ring is tucked under the small awning to your left. You’ll have to drop down to the platform below it and shoot it down.

Carved Wooden Ghurra treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

During your stealthy infiltration of the monastery, you’ll come to two large towers full of soldiers and a bridge between them. When your entrance becomes less subtle, you’ll end up in a fight as you cross the bridge. At the far end of the bridge, climb down on the right side and underneath to find the Carved Wooden Ghurra.

Bronze Tiger Bell treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

In that same area (the same fight, really), you’ll climb to the top of the second tower and use some sniper rifles to deal with enemy snipers and soldiers crossing a (different) bridge toward you. After they’re all dealt with, drop all the way back down to the bottom of the tower. Head outside toward the bridge — you’ll be well below it.

You need to jump to the platform on the bridge support, but it’ll seem like it’s just out of reach. As you’re running, wait until Nate has fully stepped off the platform before you hit the button to jump — it’s a bit of video game physics trickery. Once you reach the platform, climb down both ladders and look up. Shoot the Bronze Tiger Bell to knock it loose.

Antique Bronze Lion treasure location

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

After the bridge (and the bridge collapse), you and Elena will head into the monastery. There will be a big fight in the courtyard, and then you’ll duck through another red door. A lot of climbing later will bring you to a hallway full of bad guys and a stairway that leads to nowhere. Handle the soldiers first, and then head to the far end of the hall. Climb the furniture to reach a platform above the doorway. Shoot down the Antique Bronze Lion from above the window, and jump across to collect it.

Tibetan Ritual Vase treasure location

At the beginning of the chapter, you’ll have a long firefight as you climb up to where Schäfer is being held. After a cutscene, you’ll work your way to a rope in the middle of the room. Swing over to the pillar on the left to pick up the Tibetan Ritual Vase.

Tibetan Conch Horn treasure location

A bit of climbing and throwing people off of various roofs will bring you to a courtyard where you spot soldiers firing at some yetis. Once all the soldiers are dealt with, head up the stairs. At the first landing, turn left and jump back across the staircase to the roof on the other side. Pick up the Tibetan Conch Horn in the corner.

Bronze Oil Lamp treasure location

From there, you’ll go through a one-way door to a ruined courtyard with two heavy weapon soldiers (and then a bunch of regular soldiers). Once it’s safe, head into the courtyard and look back toward where you came in. A the top of the courtyard on the left, the Bronze Oil Lamp will be on a pillar near the roof. Shoot it down, and then backtrack to the ladder near where you entered to retrieve it. (This is also the path you’ll follow to find your way out of this courtyard.)

Ancient Sword Guard treasure location

As soon as you climb through the window, you’ll be able to see the Ancient Sword Guard along the ceiling to your right. Shoot it down.

Tibetan Coral Earring treasure location

Up the stairs, Nate will head out to the rooftops. You’ll climb to the right across a wall and see some soldiers below you. The Tibetan Coral Earring is under the eaves at the end of that climb. Drop down to the sloped roof so you can shoot it down.

Tibetan Square Ghau treasure location

From there, you’ll swing across some poles and climb up to another roof. Look below you along the main building for a statue. Hang off the eave to retrieve the Tibetan Square Ghau.

Carved Bone Ornament treasure location

After you climb into the tower, reclaim the dagger from Chloe, and solve the puzzle (by matching the shapes, colors, and symbols in the notebook), you’ll ride a zip line down toward the secret entrance. You’ll jump a gap and head up some stairs. When you jump the gap in the stairs, turn around. Look up to the light fixture on the ceiling, and shoot down the Carved Bone Ornament. (You’ll have to jump back to the lower section of stairs to pick it up.)

Tibetan Hair Ornament treasure location

When you reunite with Elena, you’ll have a big firefight near the secret entrance. After the fight, stand at the entrance and look for the headless statue nearby — you were facing it when you started the fight. Shoot the Tibetan Hair Ornament off the top. Climb up the back side of the statue, and jump over the top to pick it up.

Tibetan Mala Beads treasure location

Another zip line will bring you to another courtyard and another firefight. After the soldiers are finished, head to the bottom of the stairs. Turn left, and you’ll find the Tibetan Mala Beads in the corner behind a pillar.

As the chapter begins, look to the right side of the room. The Bronze Garuda is on a statue along the wall.

Toad Censer treasure location

After some ill-advised hostage taking and a long cutscene, you’ll start exploring. When you make the very first jump, turn to your left for the Toad Censer.

Eight Emblems Pendant treasure location

A lot of climbing and platforming later, you’ll cross to the right across a compass needle-shaped pillar and then loop back around to the left to some stairs. The Eight Emblems Pendant is just past the stairs.

Chapter 25 “Broken Paradise” treasure locations

There are eight treasures to find in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Chapter 25 “Broken Paradise.”

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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

Image: Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment America via Polygon

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).
