How to complete The Theatre area and find everything along the way.

The Theatre follows on from The Last of Us Part 2's The Tunnels area.

It is a welcome respite from what's been a tense few chapters - with some gentle puzzle solving in finding the Theatre Key while Dina rests.

Where to find items in The Theatre

After you emerge from The Tunnels, make your way through the front door of the Theatre and watch the cutscene.

Go straight ahead to a desk at the end of the lobby.

To the left is the Programme for Cassandra Artefact.

Go to the otherside of the desk, and melee the right-most case to find a Mortem Trading Card on the bottom-most shelf.

There is a bathroom to the left you can explore for supplies, while the door in the corner of the lobby is locked. You need the Theatre Key to enter.

Where to find the Theatre Key location in The Last of Us Part 2

From the lobby, take the stairs up.

Go left as you emerge on the upper floor to a balcony.

There's a Lone FEDRA Soldier Journal #1 Artefact on the left table you can pick up.

Go back to the upper floor corridor, past the bar and round the corner. A dead end follows, but you can find the Beyond Trading Card underneath an upturned sofa.

Head back round the corner to the bar, and enter the Employees Only door.

Go left here to the Projector Room. There's various supplies and the Lone FEDRA Soldier Journal #2 Artefact on the desk ahead.

Trying the radio results in a new objective - restoring power to the Theatre.

How to restore power to The Theatre

Leave the Projector Room to the window opposite.

Climb the ladder then follow the cable to the doorway at the end.

Work your magic on the generator, then head back down to the Projector Room.

Investigate the radio again for a key.

Now head back down to the lobby and use them on the locked door to the right of the desk.

You'll now be in the theatre proper.

Climb the stage and grab the The Sick Habit Flyer / Set List Artefact from the crates in the middle.

Now press the button prompt at the curtain to finish the chapter.
