In this guide we will be collecting everything in Alone In The Dark. This includes all Lagniappes, Clues, Conversations & Locks.
A few things to remember during the guide.
Remember to read every clue in the menu.
You will have to play through the game at least once with each character since some collectibles will be exclusive to their playthrough (the collectibles will carry over from one playthrough to the other).
At the time of writing this guide, the “You Can’t Keep Me Out!” trophy (open all safes and locks) is currently bugged and may not unlock.
Make sure you talk to the NPCs until they have nothing else to say for the “Conversation” collectibles to count.
If you are having trouble finding anything, you can check out the video at the end of the page and watch it on Youtube to find timestamps for every collectible in the description (they will be in the same order as this guide).
