Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception treasures guide

For a world-class treasure hunter, Nathan Drake doesn’t seem to mind completely missing most of the loot during his adventures. He could walk right past all 100 treasures in Drakes Deception and still call it a good day after the credits roll. We won’t stand for it though, so we’ve found every last collectible (including the strange relic) and created this video guide to help you do the same. After all, these things belong in a museum, right Indy-err, Drake? 





Chapter 1 (2 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 1

1. After you’re thrown through the window and into the bar below, check the jukebox against the back wall for a treasure.

2. After emerging from the bathroom, but before leaving the bar, check the shelf behind the bar.



Chapter 2 (7 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 2

1. In the very first room, check the third cannon on your right.

2. Continue past the cannons, sticking to your right. Instead of walking up the stairs at the back of the room, enter the area to the right and check behind a potted plant.

3. After your ejection from the museum, make sure to check a door on the right side of the street, near the blue car.

4. When the road forks for the second time (after the scene with the nasty fruit), enter the market area and look on the left side of the street. There is a stand with jars on top, as well as the fourth treasure.

5. From treasure four, continue down the street as it winds to the left. Look for a skinny staircase on your left and climb it to find another treasure.

6. After you swing from the broken yellow pipe to the balcony nearby, make sure to walk all the way to the other end and find the treasure near the potted plant.

7. Climb to the top of the Hotel Arrecife sign to find a treasure.



Chapter 3 (3 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 3

1. After swinging from the horizontal lamp post, drop down to the balcony below. Run all the way to the other side and look on the ground near a bench for this treasure.  

2. As soon as you enter the museum via the blue balcony door, look for an old diving suit. Check the arms for the treasure.

3. From the previous treasure, walk over to where you originally entered this room back in chapter 2. There is a treasure between the lever and the wall. 

Chapter 4 (6 treasures & strange relic)

Above: All treasures from chapter 4

1. After squeezing through the narrow alleyway, turn right and check the short dead end for this treasure.

2.  As soon as you enter the warehouse through the window, leap to the pipe on the wall and drop to another pipe directly below it. Shimmy to the right and climb onto the platform where you’ll find treasure #2.

3. When you finally get to the ground level of the warehouse, look for a bunch of crates stacked in one of the corners. Climb this stack to find another treasure.

4. Once inside the room with the two generators (where you’re attacked) look for a treasure behind the right generator.

Strange Relic: When you come upon the massive cylindrical room, leap to the vertical pipe directly in front of you and climb up instead of down. Look for another pipe to your left and continue climbing until you reach the relic.

5. As you descend the wall of the cylindrical room, look for a treasure about halfway down near a grate.

6. In the room with the gate, where Sully asks you for a boost up to a ladder, look for a small yellow box along the wall. Use it to climb up the wall, shimmying all the way to the left as soon as you get the chance. Climb up and find the treasure next to the vertical duct.



Chapter 5 (4 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 5

1. After the cutscene with Marlowe, you’ll need to take out two guards. From where you incapacitate (not kill, good for you Drake!) the second, climb the wall to your left near the giant elephant head.

2. After you smash the deer head and murder the two guards who enter (oh Drake...), go through the door and run back up the stairs on your right. On the upper level of the library underneath one of the display cases you’ll find the second treasure. If you leap off the nearby railing as seen in the video, you’ll also earn the “ride the crocodile’ trophy.

3. After taking out the first big group of suits in the subway station, look to your left for a large clock on the wall. There is a treasure just below it; shoot it down with your gun. Climb onto the train car to grab the fallen loot.

4. After climbing a ladder, you’ll find yourself in a tunnel full of baddies. Clear the place out, then proceed forward until you see a red train car. At the far end of the car, on the ground, you’ll find a treasure.



Chapter 6 (9 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 6

1. Move through the jungle until you see a small stream. Follow it to the right (downstream) until you find a treasure.

2. When you see the huge ravine in front of you, turn left and choose the path that goes up to the left. At the end of this short path, just beyond a short wall, you’ll find a treasure.

3. When you reach the hole in the side of the tower, continue around to the right instead of climbing inside. You’ll find a spot where you can climb to an even higher hole, this one containing a treasure.

4. After the cutscene in which Sully mentions the square tower, he’ll stand near an open window. This is how you exit the room, but before you do, turn around and walk to the other side of the room. On the floor near the back wall is a treasure.

5. When you reach the puzzle room with a gray fireplace and four golden knights, look for another small room to the left. Check above one of the curtains and you’ll spot treasure; shoot it down.

6. Once you’ve fallen into the caves, simply walk forward a bit and check the ground behind the stalagmite for a treasure.

7. Drop down into the area where you’re given the grenade tutorial. In the corner, under the fallen tree, you’ll find a treasure.

8. After you and Sully work together to break down a door, enter the room and stay to the right. You should see a spot on the wall that you can climb to reach the level above. Do so, then walk across the beam to reach a treasure.

9. As soon as you enter the lab, look to the ceiling. There’s a treasure up there that can be shot down.  

Chapter 7 (1 treasure)

Above: All treasures from chapter 7

1.  As you climb to the ceiling near the chandelier, a huge section of it will fall allowing Sully to walk across. Pull yourself up, but instead of following Sully to the right, head left and leap to where the floor used to be attached. Inside this area is the chapter’s only treasure.



Chapter 8 (7 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 8

1. As you move across the bridge near the beginning of the level, you’ll notice a section in the middle, on the right side, is missing. Hop over the short barrier and drop down. Use the yellow ledges to move down and to the right, where you’ll find a treasure.

2. After you let down the drawbridge, cross over it and look on the high wall to your right. The treasure is nestled in the ruined corner; shoot it down.

3.  From treasure two, look for a small chained gate. Shoot the lock off and pass through. As soon as you do, turn right and grab the treasure from this statue.

4. Once you’re at the bottom of the well, take out the suits, walk past their corpses, and enter the room on your left. The treasure is on the floor near the back wall.

5. After Sully shoots the lock off your gate, go through then immediately turn around and look up. The treasure is high on the wall; shoot it down.

6. After Drake and Charlie lift the gate for Sully and Chloe, you’ll notice a spiral staircase leading up. Head left past the stairs and check the windowsill for a treasure.

7. After the big gunfight in the courtyard (your second if you weren’t stealthy at first) there will be a large hole blown in the side of the wall that you need to go through. Do so, but before climbing up, look to your immediate right.



Chapter 9 (3 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 9

1. When you enter the room with the globe at the center, follow the left wall around until you come upon a treasure on the ground.

2. When you come upon the first set of cranks (that you can actually turn with Charlie) after the spiders/torches, use them and wait for the water level to rise all the way. Jump in to the water and use your pistol to dislodge the treasure from the high right wall. Make sure to position yourself below it so you can catch it as it falls.

3. After you solve the globe puzzle, ascend the spiral staircase that lowers. At the top, look for an open coffin to your left. The treasure is just to the left.



Chapter 10 (7 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 10

1. Not long after the chapter begins, you’ll see some fruit stands at the bottom of the stairs. Turn left to find the treasure on the ground between a stand and a wall. 

2. Walk down the small set of stairs just before the market then turn around. The treasure is on the ground on the right side of the fountain.

3. At a point during your stroll through the market, Elena will ask someone to open a gate. Walk through the gate and up the stairs. You’ll find a cactus in front of you; the treasure is just to the left of it.

4. After climbing the building you’ll enter an area with red carpet. Climb the stairs, but instead of going to the right, turn around to the left. At the end of the room next to the red sofa is a treasure.

5. After the first big fist-fight, continue on until you see a blue fence. Run up to it and turn right to find a treasure on the ground.

6. From treasure 5, follow Elena and Sully down the stairs, but instead of going through the door, turn around to find this treasure on the ground near a storage area full of vases.

7. Climb the wall to the immediate left of treasure 6. On the ledge behind some boxes you’ll find the final treasure of this chapter.

Chapter 11 (9 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 11

1. Hop into to the well and climb down the ladder, but don’t drop to the ground. Instead move to the broken edge and shimmy around to the other side to find a treasure.

2. After you solve the puzzle and open the passage, run down the hall until you’re a t the bluish-green floor. As soon as you are, turn left to find this treasure on the ground.

3. If you choose the left room with all the gears, you can climb the stairs up then loop around to the right to find a treasure behind a column.

4. If you choose the right room with the suspended body parts, go down the stairs and loop around to your left to find a treasure on the ground.

5. In the same room (the one with the body parts) grab the staff at the center of the room. Hold L1 and point the light up at the ceiling to your right. This should spook some bats, who will in turn knock loose a treasure. Check the ground near the wall for your prize.

6. After you climb out of the well, take a right as soon as you get outside. Walk down the stairs you see to find a treasure on the ground.

7. Walk up the stairs from treasure 6 and make a quick right. Look for a treasure on the seat of one of the tables inside the sheltered section.

8. From treasure 7, walk across the market to the other side of the fountain. Don’t approach Elena or Sully just yet. Look for this treasure on the ground in the shade.

9. Near the end of the long chase sequence, you’ll climb a large, indoor, winding staircase. After going through the door at the top, Drake will say “Where the hell did he go?” At this point, look for a small set of stairs to your right. Climb them, then look behind the counter on the ground for the chapter’s final treasure.



Chapter 12 (7 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 12

1. Clear the first room of pirates, then climb up the ladder and onto the containers. Leap across to another set of containers and search the corner for a treasure.

2. Once you get your holster back, walk down the hall and enter turn right instead of left. On the ground inside this small room you’ll find a treasure.

3. In the area where you finally get your hands on a weapon and either stealthily or noisily take out a large group of baddies, make your way to boat with a tall crow’s nest. From this boat, look for another lower boat with a turret attached. Run along this area and jump to the ledge along the back wall. Follow this to the right, leaping over two gaps to finally see the treasure at your feet. (The video says chapter 13 for this treasure - that’s an error)

4. After taking out the second group of baddies, there will be a short monkey bar section with four yellow bars. After reaching the platform, look to your right to spot a treasure on a gray beam. You’ll have to then look to your right, and jump to another platform so that you can make your way across a series of beams and reach the treasure. NOTE: Unlike in the video where we tried to be careful with our jumps, you can simply hold the direction you wish to go in and keep hammering X. Drake will leap off of thin air even if you mistime your movements.

5. As you continue to climb the side of the ship, you’ll eventually reach a rope that you’ll have to use to run along a wall and reach the next section. Instead of swinging on this rope, climb up and you’ll find a treasure.

6. From treasure 5, get back on the rope and swing to the platform. Climb up, run to the other side, then drop down again. There is a treasure to be found if you climb down.

7. After the short cutscene in the radio tower, do not use the nearby zip line. Instead, look on the floor in the corner of this room for a treasure.



Chapter 13 (3 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 13

1. Take out the enemies in the area where the chapter begins, then look for a watchtower. Under that tower, on a barrel, is a treasure.

2. From treasure 2, turn around and look for a red crane on the other end of the area. Behind that crane you’ll find an open yellow shipping container. The treasure is just inside.

3. From treasure 2, head towards the small yellow drawbridge you’ll be using to reach the pirate boat. Instead of using it, turn right and walk along the edge of the wooden platform to find the last treasure of the chapter.



Chapter 14 (9 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 14

1. As soon as the level begins, make your way along the obvious path until you’re able to turn left. In this small nook (just before the staircase), on the ground, you’ll find the first treasure.

2. When Drake says “Gotta get to the upper deck,” instead of using the life boat to do so, continue forward and round the corner. The treasure will be there on the ground.

3. On the deck where Drake says “So much for stealth,” hop on top of the second yellow container and go right. You’ll find a treasure between two other containers.

4. Run along the edge of the pool and look to the left. There on the ground you’ll spot a treasure.

5. When you’re finally able to leave the performance hall, go through the door and head right. You’ll find the treasure on the ground.

7. From treasure 6, take out the guard and enter the room on your left. Make your way along until you see a small bar. The treasure is on the ground behind it.

8. When you get to the bottom of the stairs, don’t head through the door to your right. Instead, loop around to the left and check underneath the steps for another treasure.

1. As soon as you’re inside the warehouse, you’ll see a tall stack of crates. There’s a treasure at the top.

6. You’ll reach an area where you have a firefight with several baddies (one of which will have a riot shield). After clearing this area, continue forward, but just before proceeding, look to the left. There is a small area with a treasure that you can drop into.

Chapter 20 (3 treasures)

Above: All treasures from chapter 20

NOTE: These three treasures are considered by the game as Chapter 21 treasures when using chapter select, even though you can technically collect them in chapter 20.

1. After the chase and the sandstorm firefight, you’ll finally reach a temple. Just turn left as soon as you enter the door to find this treasure on a mound of sand.

2. Continue from treasure 1 until you’re in a huge room. Look to your right to find a long ladder leading up. Climb the ladder, then turn right and drop down to the ledge below to find a treasure.

3. As soon as the cut-scene at the fountain ends and Drake leaps down, immediately enter the building to the right (unless you want be all safe and kill the baddies first; we prefer death) and climb the steps. At the top of the stairs on the left side, you’ll find a treasure.  You can also enter the building from the upper level and drop down. This is a safe option.

4. After the flashback, you’ll find yourself back in the elevator. Simply turn around and you’ll spot a treasure a few yards away.
