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.

What you want to do is go over to the right side and then head up to the control room by going up the stairs.

You will reach a very large room with a train in the centre, at the very back of this room is a switch that opens a big door. There are 4 enemies in here and also a Diary Note pinned to a notice board. #16: As part of the Chapter you will have to disable a large fan in order to proceed.

Harry94_ Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) 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 once on all 17, you don't need to press it multiple times.

The Guitar is to the right of you in this room. #2: From the first one head down the corridor until you see two people playing chess on the right hand side. The instrument (Balalaika) is on the sofa just past them. Chapter 6 - Facility #3: At the very start of this chapter you will go around a corner and there will be a large room filled with enemies. As soon as you enter the large room there is an Accordion on the chair to the left.

Chapter 19 - Contagion #13: I advise you watch the video for this chapter as it's a little difficult to explain.

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. #15 From where the Diary you want to go along the catwalk just next to the train cart. The Guitar is on a chair at the very end. Chapter 20 - Quarantine #16: When you enter the area where a man opens a hole in the door and says you need a permit to enter, this is where the instrument is. Upon being allowed through the door look to the left of the gun merchant to see the Guitar on the floor. Chapter 26 - The Dead City #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.

leptonic Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Outstanding job Harry! 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.

ZenVan Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) 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.

Seibei4211 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 ZenVan, it doesn't matter in which order you pick up the notes, you'll always get Note #1, then Note #2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenVan Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 ZenVan, it doesn't matter in which order you pick up the notes, you'll always get Note #1, then Note #2, etc. 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.

MonsieurPichon Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have an important question: I think that CHAPTER SELECTION doesn't works with musical instrument. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry94_ Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokesalot Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I know they say musical instruments don't work from chapter select. but what if you play from the chapter you missed to the end of the game will that work? I just need clarification. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 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 .
