For Honor collectibles: Observables and Breakables location guide

For Honor has plenty of collectible items with Observables and Breakables, and finding them is about more than just bragging rights. With them you can get some extra For Honor lore, and cosmetic items for the multiplayer part of the game. You can find Observables and Breakables in For Honor's campaign mode, and we've got everything you need to know about how to find them. 

To understand what you're looking for, Breakables (as you'd expect from the name) are large pots that you have to destroy to collect the hidden rewards housed inside,  while Observables are set locations marked with an eye icon that you must interact with to collect. There’s a whopping 235 collectibles located around the For Honor campaign’s 18 missions, but don't let that number dishearten you as this walkthrough will provide details and images for where to find every single one of them.

1.1 Warlords and Cowards

Observable 1/10

As soon as you begin, look immediately to the tower on your left.

Observable 2/10

Look straight ahead and check out the soldier on the left side of the tower.

Observable 3/10

Move forward slightly, before turning to your right and watching the enemy soldiers sieging the castle.

Observable 4/10

Continue forward a bit before you notice the castle in the distance to your right.

Observable 5/10

After defeating your first enemy in the tutorial section, look down the small slope you’re situated at the top of, and you’ll find an observable at the bottom of the stairs in front.

Observable 6/10

Immediately after that, turn around and look up towards the tower you just came through.

Observable 7/10

After you’ve taken out a number of small soldiers in the corridor, head inside and glance sideways towards the painting on your left.

Breakable 1/4 & 2/4

Right next to that painting are two sets of pots, smash them both to receive your first two Breakables.

Observable 8/10

Don’t leave the room yet, as the lion statue situated behind you is the mission’s eighth Observable.

Breakable 3/4

Just beyond the lion is another Breakable.

Breakable 4/4

Once you’ve left the room and headed up the stairs, enter the room on your right before venturing outside again.

Observable 9/10

On the right side of that room is an Observable statue. 

Observable 10/10

As soon as you head outside, look towards the wall on your right for your final Observable.

1.2 And Stay Out

Observable 1/5

Head forwards into the battlefield until you find the second bonfire on your right. 

Breakable 1/5

Turn back a bit and walk towards the first building on your right. After ascending the first flight of stairs, look to your right to break your first set of pots. 

Breakable 2/5

Head inside the building, and you’ll find the second breakable at the back right corner of the room. 

Observable 2/5

Leave the building via its back exit, and check out the flaming tower in the vista on your right.

Breakable 3/5

Continue onto the capturable zone ahead, and find the Breakable pots on the left.

Breakable 4/5

Leave the zone in the same direction you were heading, and just beyond the small wooden tower, nestled on the right, will be the penultimate Breakable. 

Observable 3/5

Move back into the centre of the battlefield, and look at the large eagle statue on your left.

Observable 4/5 

Exactly opposite the eagle, on the other side of the battlefield, is a giant battering ram, which is the fourth Observable. 

Breakable 5/5

On the enemy’s side of the war zone, you’ll spot a ladder to the left. Climb up it and go inside the building at the top to come across the final Breakable. 

Observable 5/5 

Before leaving that area, explore the balcony on the left side and look at the damaged wall for your last Observable of the mission.

Breakable 1/5

You’ll spot the first Breakable straight ahead as soon the level begins.

Observable 1/9 

Check out the caged prisoner hanging from the tree directly in front of you. 

Observable 2/9 

Run down the slope and look out towards the cliff face ahead. 

Observable 3/9 

There is a geyser immediately your left from here. You can’t miss it, but don’t get too close!

On the left side of this statue, incidentally, lies a Breakable. 

Observable 7/9 

Progress forward a little bit before checking out the mini graveyard situated up on the left. 

Observable 8/9 

Keep going onwards towards the rogue knights but, before reaching that, veer right and you’ll find a giant statue. 

Breakable 5/5

Right next to the statue, on the left, will be the last breakable. 

Observable 9/9 

As you venture up the flight of stairs towards the marker, gaze up slightly at the top of the ruined building.
