Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is the last game in the Nathan Drake Collection, which has gotten a lot of new fans in the last few weeks after Sony gave it away for free in April. For all the brand-new treasure hunters making their first trip through the trilogy, as well as anyone taking this opportunity for a replay, we’ve put together a full two-part guide to finding all the collectible treasures in Uncharted 3.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – Find All the Treasures (Part Two)
As in all Uncharted games, treasures usually appear in-game as glowing points of light. They’re easy to spot from a distance if you have a clear line of sight on them, but many of them are also concealed by camera tricks or the level design. As a general rule for Uncharted 3 in particular, if it looks like there’s a branching path, one route takes you further into the level and the other probably has a treasure at its end.
In the Remastered edition of Uncharted 3 that’s included in the Nathan Drake Collection, its various bonus rewards, like screen tints, character costumes, and special weapons, are tied to both completing the game on certain difficulties and collecting set amounts of treasures. There are dozens of character skins in particular, as the various extra models from the now-defunct multiplayer mode got made into single-player rewards in the Nathan Drake Collection, and many of them are unlocked by picking up 20, 40, 60, or 80 treasures.
You also get several Trophies as you go. You’ll receive a bronze Trophy, First Treasure, for the, um, first treasure you collect, and another one for finding 20, 40, 60, and 80 treasures in total. When you get the 100th and last treasure in the game, you unlock the silver Trophy Master Fortune Hunter.
Like the previous two Uncharted games, there’s also a 101st treasure, the Strange Relic (a.k.a. a Precursor Orb), which doesn’t count towards your overall total for the sake of the Fortune Hunter Trophy series. Finding it instead grants you the bronze Trophy Relic Hunter. It’s in Chapter 4 of Uncharted 3, so its location is in the first half of this guide. It’s worth mentioning here just because otherwise, it might end up throwing off your count.
If you can find all 100 treasures and the Relic in the remastered version of Uncharted 3, you unlock Uncharted 3’s Master Thief Collection, a gold Trophy that shares its name and unlock conditions with gold Trophies in the other two Uncharted remasters.
Check the following table for the names and locations of every treasure in the last twelve chapters of Uncharted 3. Note that there aren’t any collectibles in Chapter 17, so it’s been excised from the list.
| Chapter | Treasure | Location |
| Chapter 11: As Above, So Below | Silver and Coral Ring | At the bottom of the ladder in the well at the start of the chapter, use the yellow pipe on your left to climb around to the other side of the iron grating. |
| Silver and Leather Dagger | Once you open the secret passage, go through the hallway until you reach the third pair of statues. Just past them, turn left to find the treasure. | |
| Pearl and Emerald Brooch | Above the entrance to the gear puzzle room, behind a column. | |
| Silver Box Pendant | As you descend the stairs into the shadow puzzle room, turn left at the bottom and look in the corner. | |
| Silver Filigree Bracelet | Pick up the staff in the shadow puzzle room, but before you solve it, turn right and look up. The Bracelet should fall from the ceiling. | |
| Amazonite and Amber Necklace | Once you reach the marketplace, turn right and check the closed door at the end of the short hallway. | |
| Silver Capsule Pendant | On a bench in the shop near the fountain in the marketplace. | |
| Amazonite and Amber Earring | You have to be careful with this one. It’s in the shadow under the overhang near the fountain in the marketplace, but if you get too close to Elena and Sully, you’ll be forced to continue with the level before you can grab it. | |
| Silver Yemeni Bangle | After Talbot loses you, climb the short stairs to your right and look behind the boxes. | |
| Chapter 12: Abducted | Seahorse Vesta Case | Punch out all the pirates at the start of the level, then climb up to the top of the cargo containers and go all the way around to the far side of the room. |
| Silver Figa Amulet | After you find Nate’s holster, go down the hall to the right, then turn right again to find this treasure in a room filled with crates. | |
| Antique Silver Parrot | Once you’ve cleared out all the pirates in the shipyard, backtrack to your entry point. There’s a hidden hole in the opposite wall; swim through it, climb up, turn around, and jump to the walkway. | |
| Turquoise and Pearl Bracelet | After you lower the crane by pushing the crate off the ledge, keep your eyes open as you progress for this treasure, which is on a steel beam near a broken mesh bridge. | |
| Unusual Blue Stone Ring | Before you let go of the rope at the top of the ship, climb it to the room in which it’s anchored. | |
| Gold Scarab Brooch | When you reach the platform right outside the radio tower, drop off its opposite side through the broken railing and climb down. | |
| Gold Axumite Coin | Before you leave the radio tower via zipline, check the corner of the room by the closed bulkhead door. | |
| Chapter 13: Rough Seas | Antique Silver Box | During the fight that opens the level, get to the lookout tower on your right, by the tugboat, and look on its first floor. |
| Silver Tribal Bangle | Inside the open yellow cargo container in the first area. | |
| Ancient Gold and Coral Bracelet | On the exterior boardwalk near the bridge controls. | |
| Chapter 14: Crusin’ for a Bruisin’ | Unusual Mask Brooch | Head along the path at the start of the stage until you reach the staircase. Face it, then turn left and check the short dead end hall. |
| Rose Cut Diamond Pendant | Before jumping into the lifeboat, go forward and around the corner. | |
| Emerald and Pearl Necklace | On top of the yellow cargo container in the arena with the armored pirate. | |
| Antique Minerva Pendant | When you reach the swimming pool, go forward and to the left to find this treasure in the corner. | |
| Ruby and Pearl Pendant | After the big fight in the ballroom, leave via the double doors, but turn right instead of left. | |
| Georgian English Compass | From the last treasure, turn around and go all the way to the other end of the exterior deck. The treasure’s behind a stack of blue deck chairs. | |
| Ruby and Diamond Pendant | …and from that treasure, turn around, go into the ship, turn left, and check behind the bar in the lounge. | |
| Amethyst Cufflink | Underneath the last set of stairs before you reach the ship’s hold. | |
| Golden Amethyst Ring | Right as you enter the hold, turn left and check the dark corner between the crates and the wall. | |
| Chapter 15: Sink or Swim | Silver Rococo Napkin Ring | One of the cabins you climb through has an intact bathroom, with this treasure inside it. |
| Chapter 16: One Shot at This | Mosaic Birds Pendant | On top of the awkward pile of boxes in the warehouse. |
| Song Bird Brooch | After you drop through the skylight, check the top of the stack of crates in the corner. | |
| Enamel Bird Ring | After you bust the gate open by pushing the car, enter the warehouse on your left through the open window and look behind the green car. | |
| Chapter 18: The Rub’ al Khali | Calcite Statue of a Female Figure | Break the pot next to the well. |
| Chapter 19: The Settlement | Ancient Alabaster Ibex | To the left of the locked gate at the entrance. |
| Coin of the Qataban Kingdom | To your right after you fall through the floor. | |
| Antique Silver Linked Bracelet | After you climb out of the well, go through two doorways, then turn around and check by the base of the broken wall. | |
| Antique Agate Wedding Ring | After you get the ground shot out from under you, you’ll land practically next to this treasure. | |
| Silver and Cornelian Necklace | Move on from the last treasure. When you climb the stairs and run into the sniper, you can break left to find a Mag 5 hidden behind some cover. From it, go further along the closest wall into the shadow next to the red support column. | |
| Ancient Sabaean Bust | After your shootout with the RPG-wielding goon and his crew, before you leave the area, look for a small hidden alcove to the left of the exit doorway. | |
| Ancient Kingdom of Sheba Coin | Squeeze through the tight alley, vault over the short wall, drop down, and go right to find the Coin in the corner of the area. | |
| Antique Bedouin Bracelet | Before you take out the gate with the RPG, face it and turn right. There’s a hidden path between the buildings here with the Bracelet at its end. | |
| Chapter 20: Caravan | Carved Sabaean Face | As soon as you enter the temple, turn left. |
| Bronze Sabaean Bull Sculpture | Climb the ladder in the temple’s entrance, then turn right at its top and drop down to the ledge. | |
| The Royal Game of UR | Climb that same ladder again, but this time, at its top, jump to the closest chandelier and circle around to its far side. | |
| Chapter 21: The Atlantis of the Sands | Bronze Man of Nashqum | At the start of the level, go downstairs and turn left. The treasure’s at the end of the broken stair. |
| Sabaean Alabaster Stele | From there, continue to descend the stairs, but look for a broken railing and open window on your left. The treasure’s in the center of the room. | |
| Akkadian Statue Head | After the cutscene at the fountain, as soon as Nate lands, run into the building on your right, go up the stairs, and check the back wall. | |
| Sabaean Moon Symbol | Following your Cartagena flashback, you’ll end up back at the elevator. Just turn around; the treasure is directly behind you. | |
| Statue of Gudea | When Nate wakes up in the bathhouse after his hallucination, walk forward into the hallway, but watch on the left. The treasure is a corner next to a statue. | |
| Chapter 22: The Dreamers of the Day | Gold Cup from Ur | At the start of the chapter, turn around and look underneath the spiral staircase. |
| Golden Hittite Goddess | At the bottom of the elevator, go along the balcony until you reach the stairs, then keep going towards the wall. You should spot this treasure’s glint in front of a shut gate. |
The Master Fortune Hunter and Master Thief Collection Trophies should both fire at once as soon as you pick up the Golden Hittite Goddess. Congratulations on wrapping up Nate’s early career as a treasure hunter, just in time for him to go straight back to it during the events of Uncharted 4.
