A complete and extremely image heavy guide to the room collectibles, with a map and pictures of all tokens, posters and relics to help you find them.
Collectibles Map
This is a complete map of all the collectibles for your room.
- Red-ish Rhombi - Relics.
- Teal Squares - Posters.
- Yellow Ellipses - Tokens.
The Relics and Tokens are numbered according to the order I personally picked them up while the Posters are numbered just like they are in the game. Hopefully that isn't too confusing!
I have tried to be as accurate as possible with the markers on the map. The ones that might be a bit more off are those that are close to others. I hope the combination of the map markers, the short descriptions and the pictures will make it clear where to look.
The 10 Relics
While the Relics are not numbered in the game, it seems that they still correspond to specific items in your room. This makes it easy to see which ones you are missing and where to find them. I have numbered these in the order I picked them up.
Relic #1 - Nadezhda Lighthouse - On the bottom floor of the lighthouse.
Relic #2 - Spark Train Station - In the bathroom in the area below the tracks.
Relic #3 - Mokhpererabotka Station - In the northeastern building.
Relic #4 - Abandoned Safecamp Stary Mir - In the southern part of the big main building.
Relic #5 - Radar Station Dome - Inside the southwest dome.
Relic #6 - New Light Outpost Stolp - In the building to the south.
Relic #7 - Zalegorsk - Inside the garage at the northern end.
Relic #8 - Hospital - At the back wall of the basement.
Relic #9 - Stadium Polyot - In the northernmost tarp-covered (?) house.
Relic #10 - Garages - Inside a garage in the middle of the area, behind a couch.
The 12 Posters
Unlike the Relics and tokens, the posters have numbered names in the game. These numbers correspond to the spaces on the wall where they will appear when you pick them up, and they are thankfully sorted in a logical way. It's easy to see which one(s) you are missing.
Poster #1 - Yuzhny Bereg Theater - On a bed in the little house in the northern part.
Poster #2 - Church - In the house to the southwest.
Poster #3 - Stadium Polyot - On one of the many couches in the southern house, in a side room.
Poster #4 - Warehouse - Southeast, in a small room at the very back of the house.
Poster #5 - Chernovsk - In the northernmost multi-storey building, on the floor of a balcony on the ground floor.
Poster #6 - Farm - In the northeast house on a table.
Poster #7 - Radar Station Zaslon - In the very middle of the open room.
Poster #8 - Krasnaya Zarya Quarry - In one of the tents at the bottom of the quarry.
Poster #9 - Granichny Airfield - On the upper floor of the little "tower" in the northeast.
Poster #10 - Moss Station Zarya - Behind the corner counter in a building to the south.
Poster #11 - Ray-1 - In a side room of the northernmost house.
Poster #12 - Ray-2 - Upstairs on a couch in the northernmost house.
The 30 Tokens
The tokens are the most annoying collectibles. They are collected in a single jar and you only get to know how many of the 30 Tokens you have found. This is the main reason for the pictures in this guide. If a guide tells you there is a token in a general area, and you can't find it, then you can't really be sure if you have picked it up or if you're just looking in the wrong area. The pics tell you exactly where the token is supposed to be, and if it isn't there you can be sure you already got it.
Some of the tokens are hard to see in the pictures but they are always very close to the white "aim dot".
Token #1 - Yuzhny Bereg Theater - In the back of the eastern house.
Token #2 - Shakhtyorskaya Station - In a room with lockers and monitors.
Token #3 - Enemy Camp ("Shakhtyorskaya Station") - Inside the western building.
