1. SQUIRRELS
—————————–

NOTE: To get all of the stuffed squirrels, you’ll have to play through the game at least twice. The levels are listed in order that you can access them in the game.

Cabot Ridge
The first squirrel  is located right at the beginning of the game. As soon as you get control of Daryl, leave the bathroom and go to the main room of the cabin where you can speak with Jess. Check the end table next to the fireplace, and there you will find the first stuffed squirrel of the game.

Sedalia
In the pharmacy, you’ll find a locked door. Ignore it and move into the alley. Jimmy Blake will yell at you from the roof. Go to the ladder and climb it. Speak with Blake, and then move around the ventilation shafts there. You’ll see a pile of cardboard boxes. Use these to get across to the adjacent roof, and then you’ll find a ladder. Climb it down and you’ll be behind the locked door in the pharmacy. Snag the statue and exit through the door to unlock it.

Pemberton
At the end of the road in Pemberton will be a gas station. You’ll find it near the motel that you’re supposed to investigate. Inside the gas station on a shelf will be yet another stuffed squirrel collectible to grab.

Garwater
You walk right by a fire station. You can choose to investigate it or explore it. Opt to go inside and check the desk to find the squirrel.

Fontana
Finally, a stuffed squirrel that poses at least a little bit of a challenge. I’m going to be very specific in my instructions here so that you are able to find the squirrel much easier. Go through the alley until you reach the more open area with a bunch of cars, some parked under roofs. If you keep going straight, you’ll find a pile of boxes that you can use to jump over the fence. Do that, and then keep moving forward to the truck bed. Jump into the bed of the truck, then on top of the cab of the truck, and then you should be able to jump over the adjacent fence to another roof, where the squirrel will be waiting, right next to a corpse lounging in a lawn chair and a tipped over cooler.

Oakview
After moving through the hole in the fence, check all the tents. Push against the flaps of the tents as some of them will open this way. You’ll find the squirrel sitting on the ground inside one of these tents.

Taggart
Move around the back of the big two story house in this level and the squirrel can be found sitting on a shelf in the shed.

Cleburne
In the hospital, go to the Morgue. A big blue sign above the door will let you know when you find the right one. Inside the morgue, in the corner opposite of where you enter, the squirrel can be found on a gurney.

Lemon Hill
Talk with Merle about the fireworks, then go outside into the alley. Find the ladder and climb onto the roof. There is a small crevice between two rooftops. You can fall between this crevice and land safely. The squirrel is at the end of this, against the wall.

Barksdale
Upon the start of the mission, go through the first building possible. Look behind the counter and wa-lah.

Archer Creek
Go into the Archer Creek Utility Building. Take a right, and then go to the very last cubicle.

Danvers
Enter the room with all the cubicles. Go all the way to the left. You’ll find the squirrel on the floor in the second to last cubicle from the wall.

Lafferty
Go to the largest room in the mall, which is the department store-like area. The squirrel is just on a shelf there in plain sight.

Polksville
Check the end of the first train car that you go through and you’ll find the squirrel lying on the ground next to a can of fuel.

Sherwood
In the suburbs area, go to the white house with the barricade blocking the door. Jump over the barricade and go into the house. Make your way to the garage. There’s a desk in the corner of the garage that has the squirrel on it, plus a gun nearby.

Firesign Stadium
Move toward the burning vehicles and then take a left. Go all the way down that path until you reach tents. The first tent on your left doesn’t look like it can be entered, but push against the flaps and you’ll get inside. The final squirrel can be found on a bench in there.

2. POSTERS
—————————–

NOTE: To find all the posters, you will yet again have to do at least two playthroughs of the game.

Pemberton
Enter the police station. Go straight ahead until you hit a wall, and then go right to reach the cubicle room. Exit the cubicle room and in the hallway should immediately be a door marked Lock Up. Go into this room and then go the very end of it. Examine the bulletin board poster to find the first one.

Garwater
In the fire station, check the rec room on the wall next to the fridge for the poster.

Fontana
Inside the diner on the wall is a poster of a chef. Lo and behold, this poster of a chef is exactly the poster you need to collect!

Taggart
In the concession stand building at the drive-in, the walls are lined with movie posters. There’s also a poster of a gentleman that you can grab to continue toward the achievement!

Cleburne
From the help desk, take a right. Go all the way down that hallway and go through the last door. A corpse will be lying on the bed. Next to the corpse on a shelf will be a bunch of files about a hospital “subject” that was there. This counts as yet another poster that you need.

Archer Creek
In the Archer Creek Utility Building, it’s right on the wall as you enter. It’s impossible to miss this one, really.

Lafferty
Leave Noah and enter the mall. You’ll find the poster on a wall to the right above a desk and a computer.

Sherwood
In the suburbs area, there is a brown house that the zombies have broken into. Dead zombie bodies lie on the floor, and there are other zombies chowing down on each other as you enter. Check above the dresser in the bedroom of this house to see a picture of a woman holding a fish. This is the final poster you need.
