A Plague Tale: Innocence – Collectible Guide

This guide will utilize pictures, and go chapter by chapter including every collectible within that chapter.

Intro

All credit goes to Jynn!

This guide will cover the collectibles for each chapter, in the order they appear, so that you can easily scroll one chapter at a time as you play and get all the different items in each one, without having to watch / read 3 different guides every time you play.

The collectibles are Gifts, Curiosities, and Hugo’s Herbatorium flowers. There are also the Alchemical Carts, which will be covered as well, and isolated achievements that I will also include since they appear in specific chapters.

This guide does not cover more general achievements like crafting or story related ones, there are plenty of guides out there for those.
