Introduction

 

This guide will help you obtain all 21 symbols, all 10 glyphs, and all the chapter specific trophies at the same time. All of these can be collected at the same time (but you may need an additional run for the Adventure trophy on Sunken City separately because it may be confusing to do at the same time).

 

As you acquire symbols, your scarf will extend. The further it extends, the more times you can jump using :cross:. You can actually do several jumps in a row to gain a lot of height if you have a long scarf. Each time you jump, the energy of the scarf will fade, though it will retain the same length. You can refill the energy of the scarf by touching any rug-like creatures in the game, some lit up items, and by touching an online companion.

 

To find out which chapters you have missed symbols or glyphs, and clean up, simply refer to the Portal chapter.

 

 

Portal

 

Portal Checklist

  • Symbols: 3
  • Glyphs: 1
  • After you complete the game, you can use chapter select at anytime, by pressing :start: followed by :select:. Doing so will take you back to this chapter.

 

At the start, it's hard to miss Symbol 1:

2sWbloz.jpg

 

Then cut a hard right to the Glyph:

3BWs8qp.jpg

 

Come close to the 4 stones to activate them and the Glyph:

Vly5nFn.jpg

 

Exit from the tunnel into the clearing to find Symbol 2:

SC5CXqv.jpg

 

Hidden on the left of the large center beam is Symbol 3:

aFTA2vi.jpg

 

After you complete the game, you can use chapter select by pressing :start: then :select:.

 

Here is the layout of this chapter's central point:

MgRS2w4.jpg

 

To check for missing glyphs: Walk up to each chapter's building.

Notice the picture frames on the wall, one or two frames depending on the amount of glyphs that chapter has.

If the glyph is filled in, you collected it. If it's a blank frame, you need to jump into that portal and collect it.

There is also one glyph each on the Portal and Bridge chapters that do not have any visual display.

 

To check for missing symbol's: go to the Collected Symbols location on this image above.

Lit up stones display collected symbols, while faded stones have not been collected.

 

This picture is with 19/21 collected, indicating the final 2 are in Sunken City:

v9cxiG6.jpg

(be sure to stand on the same side in order to have the same perspective)

 

Once you collected all the symbols, return to the same building as Collected Symbols for a new costume!

You can switch between the white and red costumes freely by visiting this location.

White robes have the scarf energy automatically restored after brief moment of not using it.

 

Here are both costumes, side by side:

Bridge

 

Bridge Checklist

  • Symbols: 3
  • Glyphs: 1
  • Threshold (B)

 

Go northwest (up and left) to grab symbol 1:

Dn6lz9u.jpg

 

Activate bridge section 3&4, continue to symbol 2:

E2shyeP.jpg

 

Walk under the bridge to find symbol 3 and the glyph:

h3zl9Eg.jpg

 

Here is a better view of the hidden glyph:

Ja9s0S7.jpg

 

Take this side back to the front of the bridge, building section 2 on the way.

Jump onto the very top of the rug without activating the entire piece:

5hibXk3.jpg

If you find it hard to jump all the way up, come back later with a long scarf.

Continue to the end of the bridge and the Threshold trophy will unlock.

Desert

 

Desert Checklist

  • Symbols: 4
  • Glyphs: 2
  • Mirage (B)
  • Explore (B)

 

This chapter is confusing to navigate. Use the mountain as a reference for North.

I am going to do this in the way I feel is fastest & simplest to navigate.

 

Please use this map as a guide during your visit:

nFN38dI.jpg

 

From when you start on this chapter, walk directly N to cloth 1:

ppMWAvW.jpg

 

Make a sharp right and go E to Cloth 2 & Symbol 1:

jAiRK7f.jpg

 

Now go NW and continue this direction, following the rocks:

JCv3MYG.jpg

 

Continue NW to the flower for Mirage:

XJYkAES.jpg

 

Continue NW to Glyph 1:

wvO5L1x.jpg

 

SW to Cloth 3:

PCzezqg.jpg

 

W to Cloth 4 and Glyph 2:

jAlYsGB.jpg

 

NE over ridge to Cloth 5 and Symbol 2:

SNWGekG.jpg

 

NE to ruins. As you approach, a shooting star will come down for Symbol 3:

gb3bhQi.jpg

 

NW (more W than N) to tower, climb it halfway to find Cloth 6 stuck:

gLQ7CZo.jpg

 

At the top of the tower, before using the circle, look for the hidden Symbol 4:

woYn5KT.jpg

 

After the meditation circle, you will free the final set of Cloth Creatures:

kKq9Oad.jpg

 

Explore trophy unlocks here if you got all of them.

If you'd like, you can backtrack before jumping on the carpet...

 

 

Sunken City

 

Sunken City Checklist

  • Symbols: 3
  • Glyphs: 2
  • Adventure (B)

 

For the Adventure trophy, you need to pass inside 15 gates. There are over 20 gates you can pass through in a run, so don't worry if you miss a few. Get a feel for the level, and you can just try it again using chapter select.

 

Take the left side through some gates:

v2VQdPC.jpg

 

Go around the giant pillar in the center for some more gates:

tBgu1ow.jpg

 

Quickly weave back behind the center pillar, inside the ruins for Symbol 1:

8w2vNAH.jpg

 

Continue to the left for one more gate.

 

As you get into the next area, you can actually jump very high!

 

Quickly press

:lsup: and :cross: jump a few times to get Symbol 2:

FtxufzB.jpg

If you miss it, you can also get up here after activating all cloths.

 

Before you continue through the gate, look on the left for Glyph 1:

H4SWZmJ.jpg

 

Get the gates in front, then cut hard to the gates on the right:

pvXEF8i.jpg

 

After passing thru a few more gates, jump all the way up for Symbol 3:

SlR8437.jpg

(there are other routes to get to this symbol as well)

 

There will be another batch of gates you can pass through:

BzzgMi7.jpg

 

That's the end of the gates, Adventure will unlock if you puled it off.

 

At the bottom of the fall, go to the left of the circle for Glyph 2:

Underground

 

Underground Checklist

  • Symbols: 4
  • Glyphs: 1
  • Trials (B)

 

Go inside this slanted tunnel for Symbol 1:

wLOKbay.jpg

 

While climbing, enter this tunnel on the right for Symbol 2:

ySr0IXW.jpg

 

In the next room, climb all the way up to the top jellyfish for Symbol 3:

HssRyVV.jpg

 

Just after the first guardian appears, stay on the safe path (left platform).

Just a bit down the path, is the Glyph:

3UAQuUf.jpg

 

Continue on the left path to sneak past the guardians easily!

 

Just past this archway, turn around to find symbol 4:

gkPCtwa.jpg

 

At the end of the level, it is very hard to avoid being noticed (it is possible though). By holding :lsup:, you will surf down fast to escape and earn the Trials trophy!

 

 

The Temple

 

The Temple Checklist

  • Symbols: 4
  • Glyph: 1 (On this chapter, there are some story related glyphs that are required to progress. There is also one hidden glyph that needs to be activated for this trophy.)
  • Ancestors (B)

 

After activating story-glyph 1, climb the center beam for symbol 1:

d8Hsv6B.jpg

 

After story-glyph 2, then climb till you go through the center beam.

 

When you see lots of jellyfish, on your right, inside the grating is symbol 2:

V7fV6cB.jpg

 

After Story-glyph 3, go in the hole this giant flying carpet come out of, for a Glyph:

kjEbFT0.jpg

 

Look behind the first drape on your left for Symbol 3:

EkXF637.jpg

 

After story-glyph 4, go directly across to center beam for Symbol 4:

IenCzuy.jpg

 

After story-glyph 5, you have flooded the temple, and sea life flOws!

Instead of using the meditation circle, go back down to explore...

 

Go towards the bottom of the center beam, two flights up for Ancestors:

74Kd016.jpg

 

Or go to the same place you grabbed Symbol 3 & the Glyph:

bXEttPe.jpg

There may be other creatures as well, feel free to look around. ;)

 

If you hug the center beam with all the lit up energy, it will constantly fill up your scarf energy, so you can keep jumping as high as you want. Use this to get up to the proper platform easily, and after obtaining the trophy and exploring, use this method to get back to the top in order to complete the stage.

Snow

 

Snow Checklist

  • Symbols: 0
  • Glyphs: 2
  • It is worth noting that this is the latest you can start with a partner to earn the Companion trophy.

 

As you climb the snow covered mountain, you will notice this cave on your left.

 

Enter the cave, light then lantern, and jump above it for Glyph 1:

TKmlJ5r.jpg

 

Cross the bridge and stay to the left to easily pass the guardians.

 

When you enter a cave, look to the left for Glyph 2:

H4q2aEY.jpg

 

 

Sky

 

Sky Checklist

  • Symbols: 0
  • Glyphs: 0
  • Note that this is the only chapter you can't access directly from Chapter Select. You will need to first complete Snow if you want to replay this.

 

Don't expect any pictures for this map. :p

From: Sunken City Symbols - Journey Wiki Guide - IGN

 

Sunken City Symbol 3

 

During the second sliding sequence, stay in the middle of the path. About halfway down, you'll spot a sharp rock near the center of the path that juts out like a ramp to the right. Use this as a jumping off point and float into the crevice in the canyon wall to grab another Symbol.

About Adventure trophy:

You can also unlock it without doing chapter select if you didn't get it the first time. Just quit to XMB and restart the game, thus you'll be able to restart the level over until you get the trophy. Only works if you didn't already complete the level after you get to the end of it. The checkpoint is made at the beginning of the level.

 

Quitting to XMB and restarting Journey (not the save game) works with any level, in case you messed up.

The other paths on sunken city (which there are a few of actually) all require you to jump. What is the advantage to using the other path some guy posted on some wiki? None that I can think of. The point of this collectible walkthru is to grab the symbols AND collectibles in one go, which I believe is possible to do. Even if you are doing it separately, you might as well use the same path you are familiar with, for when you did the adventure trophy.

I have a question : I missed a glyph during my 2nd run (one in the Sunken City), does it carry over and I can get the last one via chapter select or I have to star over again ?

 

By the way, thanks for this guide, really helpful, especially in the desert :)

It carries over, just get the final glyph and it should pop! :)

I can not get sunken city #3 because when I use the level selection my scarf is too short. Have I to play again all the game to get a long scarf at that point?

 

 

EDIT: there is a more simple way to get the #3, look at this Youtube video
