Hidden Diary Notes

 

There is a total of 43 collectibles in Metro Last Light. Collecting them all will reward you with the 'Published' trophy / achievement. None of them are missable, you can go back and clear any of the ones you missed via Chapter Select. Also as soon as you pick one up it saves so you don't need to go back and try and pick it up again if you die as it won't be there. There is a very long delay on the PS3 for the trophy to unlock so don't worry about it taking a while after picking up the last one.

Musical Instruments

 

There is a total of 17 musical instruments in Metro: Last Light. Playing them all will reward you with the 'Musician' trophy / achievement. Unlike the Diary Notes this will not work in Chapter Select, it has to be done in one playthrough. For this reason, the trophy is MISSABLE. All you have to do is press :square: once on all 17, you don't need to press it multiple times.

As soon as you enter the area and you need to put your Gas Mask on head into the little house area to your right. There is a man with throwing knives in him. To the left of him is a tiny room with the Guitar in it.

 

#14 Directly after the last one there is a room with a square area in the middle and each of the posts has a burning torch on them. In this square you will find the Guitar.

#17: The final instrument is where the Piano vision is. After seeing the park vision head into the hole in the floor and then exit back to the surface again. From here turn around and go into the door on your left. Head up the stairs until you find the piano. The vision of the man playing the Piano will appear, once it ends you can play it and the trophy will unlock.

Outstanding job Harry! :applause: thanks for this...

 

There are a bunch of chapters but very short all of them, starting the 16th and missing a few collectibles, but I'm going to follow your text locations now!

 

And I'm finding some musical instruments randomly (3 so far) but I think I miss some there... so your incomming guide will be very very useful. :D

Well done Harry. Finished my first run only missing three notes despite what I thought was meticulous searching. This will make it an easy cleanup.

 

UPDATE:

 

I found an error in the in game diary with the level TORCHLIGHT. My diary entries said I was missing note #2 but in actuality it was the first note. So although Harry's locations are spot on if you're missing #2 in your diary it's probably the first note of the level right when you climb up on the train.

ZenVan, it doesn't matter in which order you pick up the notes, you'll always get Note #1, then Note #2, etc.

That's right. The first 1 you pick up in the chapter will say #1 in your Diary page. I have just listed them here in the order you find them in the chapter :)

You guys are right but the only other two I was missing just happened to correspond to the "right" numbers so it seemed like the Torchlight entry was off. Thanks.

I have an important question:

 

 

I think that CHAPTER SELECTION doesn't works with musical instrument. Is that correct?

No it doesn't, I tried and didn't get the trophy. So you have to get them all in one playthrough. I got all 17 in my good ending playtrhough though and got the trophy. Guide will be up for it tonight :)

If you miss one then it's goodbye trophy and you have to start a whole new game from scratch :(. The only possible workaround is if you restart the Chapter you're on the moment you realise you've missed an instrument in it, if you move onto the next Chapter then you will have no choice but to start over :(.
