Dying Light 2 · Collectible Locations

All Collectible Locations

Every collectible in Dying Light 2 with a written location, listed in map order by district. This is the companion to the Collectibles & Co-op trophy page.

⚠ The single most important pickup is Memento #1 in the Prologue — the Prologue is the only area you can never return to, so grab it before the story pulls you out or the platinum becomes impossible.

🔦 Method: most of these can be swept freely after the credits. Hold Survival Sense when you enter any building or tunnel to reveal nearby collectibles as golden dots, and clear each district one at a time using the headers below.
