The Chariot
Fixed the bike
From chapter 4, you'll find your bike outside your house with a flat tire. You'll need to retrieve the pump from your parents bikes which are situated in the porch alcove. This can be accessed from the back of the house from where Martha's body/coffin is located.
Either way, from chapter 12, this becomes story related as you'll probably want to inflate the tire before traveling to the church.
The Tower
Discover the house in the woods
Available from Chapter 9. When making your way through the woods, keep to the right and you'll eventually come upon an abandoned building behind a wall. Actual map location here:
The High Priestess
Read all diary pages
You receive Giulia's diary from chapter 4 where you'll instantly have access to the first 2 pages. The following pages become available as you progress through the game. Its recommended to check your diary after you start each chapter as they become available.
There are a total of 6 diary pages and all should be available to read by the last chapter.
The Stars
Read every newspaper edition
From Chapter 2 onwards, each new day there will be a new daily newspaper with the latest news. Each time this is located at the same place on the breakfast table. Simply ensure you interact with the paper at least once in the necessary chapters. Note: You do not need to read the additional headings, just the initial one when you first pick it up.
The Hanged Man
Collected all camera accessories
Simply pick up and collect all the camera accessories. This can be completed as early as Chapter 8, depending on how you navigate the hub area and how quickly you progress through the story. See the collectible guide below for the details on all the camera accessories.

You'll first need to pickup and collect the tarot cards from your parents bedroom in chapter 6. They are located in the righthand side drawer of their main table.

This should unlock at in chapter 11 if you have carried out them all.
