The original The Evil Within was considered to be a bit of a disappointment by many, but there is little doubt that The Evil Within 2 is a substantially improved sequel in just about every way. If you are a fan of horror games, you owe it to yourself to play this game and check it out for yourself.
As you play it, you will also come to realize that the game is massive– there’s a lot of layers to this, lots of nuances, lots of texture and details. If you need help trying to get through everything this game has to offer, we’re here to help. In this guide, we help you find all the weapons, all the pouches, cheats and cheat codes for unlimited ammo, green gel, infinite crafting materials, weapon part, take on all the bosses, find all the collectibles, and help you get some Achievements/Trophies. Let’s get started.
ALL COLLECTIBLES LOCATIONS: (Coffee Makers, Files, Photographic Slides, Residual Memories, Keys, Mysterious Objects And Items)
Collectibles in The Evil Within 2 can be a pain. There are 115 of them (not counting the coffee makers)- these are broken down as into 40 Files, 11 Photographic Slides, 24 Residual Memories, 32 Keys, and 8 Mysterious Object Easter Eggs. And the worst part is, there is no chapter select- so if you miss something, you have to play through the entire game.
Which is a total mess- let’s help you out with that. The video below shows you where and how to get everything. Use the timestamps for reference.

ALL WEAPON LOCATIONS
There are a lot of weapons for you to track down and find in The Evil Within 2. These can help you take on some of the horrors and monstrosities that you will inevitably find yourself coming up against as you play through the story. In this section, we show you where to find these weapons.
Where To Find The Double Barrelled Shotgun
Found in Chapter 13, this is a hugely effective gun that actually requires you to plan ahead so you can get it:
Where To Find The Full-Barrelled Shotgun
Not as good as the half-barrelled variant, this one is actually a bit easier to get nonetheless.
Where To Find The Silenced Handgun
One of the trustiest weapons in your arsenal, this one is a must get if you wish to not engage every enemy in the vicinity.
Where To Find The Sawed-Off Shotgun
Because as everyone knows, what makes a shotgun even more lethal- at least up close- is sawing the barrel right off.
Where To Find The Flamethrower
When faced with unimaginable terrors, the only thing for you to do is to kill em with fire. This flamethrower should come in handy for that.
Where To Find The Laser-Sighted Handgun
Because sometime, you need a marksman’s aim to be able to survive in this big, scary world.
Where To Find The Sniper Rifle
Take on all the creepy crawlies from a distance, without having to worry about getting your hands dirty, with this sniper rifle.
Where To Find The Brass Knuckles And Magnum
But if you do like getting up close and personal, if you do want something for close range combat, these should help.
POUCH LOCATIONS
Pouches let you hold ammunition- sounds simple enough, right? Except there’s a different pouch for every ammunition type… so there’s that. Let’s see where you can get all of them.
