The Darkness Super Guide: Collectibles and Achievements

SECTION 1 – GUIDE EXPLANATIONS AND FORMAT

Brief Explanations

I have all collectibles listed in order of availability. Most can be picked up during any chapter of
the game, others are specific to that chapter (ie. letters) and yet others can only be found during
that story mission (ie. Whitefish pool hall) since the area will be blocked off upon completion. Some
collectibles are only available at a specific moment in time (ie. the collectable the worker/mobster
is sitting on in chapter 3) and so shouldn’t be passed by.

Therefore, if you follow the guide and pick up collectibles in order that they appear you’ll have your
achievement and all content unlocked

.

Guide Format

Collectibles in the game are numbered but, not in order and trying to determine which ones you might
have missed can be confusing as well as aggravating. To make things easier I’ve included the
following: the chapter in which they can be found, the map location according to your sub-screen map,
a brief description on its location, the name of the person/company you will reach when dialing the
number, and which content will be unlocked

.

The latter (description of the content unlocked) was an afterthought and I started taking notes part
way through the process, so there might be only a few errors or discrepancies if any at all

.

The exception to this format is the Otherworld levels since all mail is posted at once and individual
content is difficult to determine. However, the set content is listed at the end of the chapter

.
