All Collectible Locations (Herbariums, Curiosities, Gifts, Carts)

There are 55 collectable locations in A Plague Tale: Innocence, these are split into four different types:

• 26 Curiosities

• 13 Hugo’s Herbariums

• 11 Gifts

• 5 Alchemist Carts

This collectables guide will tell you their locations, the order and numbering is the same as the in-game Codex. You will be able to easily spot collectibles by keeping an eye out for the white flurescent light they emit. You can keep track of collectables by checking the Codex, the only type that do not appear there are the 5 Alchemist Carts. When you reach Chapter 7 of A Plague Tale: Innocence you will be be taught How to Craft Luminosa by Lucas. Luminosa is a bomb that you will need to access some of the Alchemist Carts.

All the collectables will automatically save the moment you pick them up or enter them. Nothing is missable and you can leave as soon as you have found what you need. With the exception of Chapter 17: Epilogue all the chapters have at least one collectible. The best strategy to collect them all is to pick up what you find naturally as you play through the story and then return afterwards using the 'Chapter Selection' feature to replay chapters to pick up what you missed.
