Artifact

Artifacts are one of the four categories of collectible that appear in The Last of Us on PS3 and its Remastered edition on the PS4. They are also the only category of collectibles obtained in the associated DLC, Left Behind. Artifacts return as one of four collectible categories in The Last of Us Part II.
There are a total of eighty-five artifacts in The Last of Us, fourteen in the Left Behind DLC, and one hundred twenty-seven in The Last of Us Part II.
== Overview ==
Artifacts include mainly notes, pages, journals, maps, and diagrams. Some objects also count as artifacts, such as Sam's robot, Riley's pendant, and Ellie's backpack. Most artifacts are for story purposes only and give no advantage to the player, but a few artifacts give small advantages, such as describing locations where loot can be found or enabling the player to open safes. Additionally, some artifacts are required to progress from a given location, such as the warehouse key, pharmacy key, and hotel keycard.

== Bugs and Glitches ==
*Note that in some cases, in The Last of Us, when the player dies or quits the game, a previously found artifact may need to be retrieved again depending on where the last auto-save occurred. It is a good idea to double-save to ensure that any artifacts found previously do not need to be picked up again.
