Learn the ins-and-outs of survival with our The Last of Us walkthrough, with text and video guides showing you how to navigate this deadly world. After a killer outbreak of fungus, society has collapsed and disgusting zombies roam the streets — but it’s the violent survivors looking to prey upon the weak that protagonists Joel and Ellie should truly fear.

Naughty Dog’s serious-minded follow-up to their Uncharted series tasks players with sneaking or fighting through a ruined world, trying to get a young girl (Ellie) to safety. Playing from a third-person perspective, ammo is very limited, and stealth is key. Collected items can be crafted into new weapons or gear; scavenging for supplies is the only way to stay stocked up.

Here on the Last of Us walkthrough, you’ll learn how to sneak, fight, and survive every encounter. We’ll show you what weapons to use, which to save, and where to look for better tools. It’s all about survival, but we’ll guide you through each level with ease — revealing what to expect, and what to look out for.

Speaking of exploration, there are several different types of collectibles to discover. Find them all, and the rest of our extra in-depth guides, on the Last of Us cheats list. If you’re looking to earn Platinum too, take a look at the Last of Us trophies to see what challenges await.

Stay crouched (and obviously stay out of the light) as you advance on the left side, using the cars as cover along the way. Take out the patrolling hunter down below the light using your bow and arrow.
  36. Since this next part is impossible to do with stealth, move over to the roadblock right in front of the light. Chuck a Molotov cocktail up there to take out the two hunters. You can then pull out your rifle and pick of the group of hunters one by one as they walk toward the lookout point (or use more Molotov cocktails to take out multiple enemies at once).
  37. WIth the area clear, follow Henry over to the D2 gate and help him push open the doors. After he takes out the hunter up on the wall, follow the path around and stand under the ladder to give everyone a boost. After that dick Henry leaves you, help Ellie lift the bay door to the left.

  3. Swim under the door to the next area after Henry raises it. Go up the steps, climb the ladder to the left and push the pallet on the railing into the water. You can get some health from the room at the other end of the catwalk, but there will be two infected in there as well. Get back into the water, take the pallet over to Ellie and swim it diagonally across to where the generator is.
  4. After Henry pulls you up, follow the group down the tunnel. Go left through the first doorway for some supplies, then push open the double doors at the end of the tunnel. You can find a “shorty” pistol on one of the desks to the left and upgrade your bombs by picking up a manual on the shelves a little farther up.

  9. After you guys take cover behind the car from the sniper, go left up the stairs, around the corner of the building, up to the tree planter, then down to the left around the backside of the house. The sniper will then send several other hunters after you—take them down, then advance.
  10. Use your hearing skill to find out where other enemies are. Clear them out first, then go for the sniper. Since he’ll be hidden behind a ton of cover, you’ll have to get inside the building that he’s held up in and flank him (the house at the end of the street with a huge sheet of plywood in front of the left window).
  11. Head up the stairs of the building, go through the green bedroom, through the bathroom doorway and into the next bedroom where he was sniping from. Mash square when he tries to stab you to kill him. After Joel grabs the sniper, use it to snipe and provide cover for Ellie and the guys. Once the tank shows up, wait for the driver to peek his head out and throw Molotov cocktails. You’ll have to be quick, so aim right over the top of tank, then fire when he pops up to destroy the tank.
  12. Once the tank is destroyed, Sam and Henry will get attacked by two infected. Quickly fire a two shots to save them. A huge group of infected will then come pouring down the street. Fire off a few shots, but eventually Joel will pull off for a long and intense cutscene.
