As well as trying to survive the horrors that lurk within Mount Massive Asylum, Outlast also has two categories of collectibles to be found--document folders you can pick up and read, and notes you record by pointing your video camera at certain scenes. Collecting 15 of each will unlock the silver EDUCATED trophy, and by discovering all 31 of each you’ll receive the gold PULITZER award.

You have to collect all of these items during a single playthrough or the trophies won’t unlock, so make sure you save regularly--at least once per chapter--in case you miss any and have to go back. Otherwise you may pass a point of no return and have to restart the whole game to complete your collection.

Table of Contents:

  • Chapter 1 – Administration Block
  • Chapter 2 – Prison Block
  • Chapter 3 – Sewer
  • Chapter 4 – Male Ward
  • Chapter 5 – Courtyard
  • Chapter 6 – Female Ward
  • Chapter 7 – Return to the Administration Block
  • Chapter 8 – Underground Lab

Guides Editor

Iain originally joined Future in 2012 to write guides for CVG, PSM3, and Xbox World, before moving on to join GamesRadar in 2013 as Guides Editor. His words have also appeared in OPM, OXM, PC Gamer, GamesMaster, and SFX. He is better known to many as ‘Mr Trophy’, due to his slightly unhealthy obsession with amassing intangible PlayStation silverware, and he now has over 1,000 Platinum pots weighing down the shelves of his virtual award cabinet. He does not care for Xbox Achievements.
