Channel 13 follows on from The Last of Us Part 2's Capitol Hill area.

Also known as the TV Station, it's much shorter than the last chapter - but as always, expect a few missable items along the way.

How to get into the Channel 13 TV Station

To get into the TV station, climb up the front of the building to an outdoor balcony-like section, with several bodies.

From here, look to the right wall, to find an open window and a rope leading from it. Climb up.

The route here is linear until a store cupboard with supplies. To the left of the door is a vent you can climb through.

You are now in the TV studio. Nothing is missable in this location, so feel free to explore for supplies or press on by going up stairs via one of the stairwells, then out the back for a balcony.

You then have to shimmy round to the offices.

In the office on the far side of the floor you can find a Kimimela Trading Card on the large desk.

To progress, open the door next to the corpse, then go up the stairs. Open the door on the right.

After the cutscene, explore the rest of the floor. There's the usual crafting supplies, and the Dad's Pep Talk Artefact on the sofa in the corner office.

Drop down outside through the wall to return to above the TV studio.

How to escape the Channel 13 TV station

At this point, a lot of enemies will appear on the floor below.

You can either take them on or sneak past them. It's difficult either way, so don't worry if you get spotted and have to make a messy exit.

Either way, go through where they emerged to an area with columns and an area you can look through to the floor below.

Sprint through here, out the hole in the wall on the right, and through the linear section until you're forced to go through a door to the side.

This takes you to The Tunnels.
