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.

The Evil Within 2 takes you through the harrowing nightmare that Sebastian, the protagonist of the original game, must find himself in, as he returns to STEM once more. It is a far better game than the 2014 original was- and fans of horror games must definitely take it upon themselves to give this game a try, even if they were burned by the original.

But maybe you are skeptical- after all, the original game opened to good reviews, too. Maybe you want to see some of the game in action before you commit to it. Or maybe you are playing the game, but you’re stuck and you need help. There’s no shame in that, either.

Whatever your reasons, what you need is a full fledged walkthrough of the game- and that’s what we have here, complete with the ending (and the secret post-credits ending sequence, too). As always, remember this will have spoilers.
