Alright, fellow gamer! You’re diving into REPLACED, eh? Excellent choice. Let’s get you squared away with all the shiny bits hidden in Chapter 1. No stone will be left unturned, no secret unrevealed!
Alright, champion of the dystopian future! Chapter 1 of REPLACED, titled “Non Standard Task,” is where the collectible hunt truly begins, as the prologue has none. You’re looking for a total of **14 collectibles** in this chapter: 12 Scans (lore pieces), 1 Music Track, and 1 Genetic Profile (which is a direct HP upgrade). Keep your eyes peeled for a **small, white light** that indicates a scannable item.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of where to find every single one:
### Automatic Collectibles (Can’t Miss ‘Em!)
* **Scan #1: Huxley** – Automatically unlocks at the start of the chapter.
* **Scan #2: Med-Stim** – Automatically unlocks at the start of the chapter, specifically in the First Aid area. Just interact with the med-stim prompt.
### Music Track
* **Music Track #1: Lab Rat** – This glowing pickup appears early in Chapter 1, shortly after a platforming section where you cross gaps in a long corridor in the sewers. Look for it on a box near the ground before continuing forward.
### Scans (Lore) & Genetic Profile (HP Upgrade)
1. **Scan #3: Survivor’s Memoir** – After your first enemy encounter (against Termite Dale), this scan is directly ahead on the path. Grab it before moving on.
2. **Scan #4: The Catastrophe: 20 Years Later** – From the “Survivor’s Memoir” location, continue into an abandoned shelter. You’ll find this scan on a wall panel on the right side of the room. Make sure to get it before climbing to the higher area.
3. **Scan #5: Board Game Box** – In the area where you fight Termite Kyle, look for an abandoned RV. The “Board Game Box” scan is sitting there before you reach the fence you need to climb.
4. **Scan #6: Goodbye Letter** – Go past the billboard and the open road towards a camper van. Pick up the “Goodbye Letter” from inside.
5. **Genetic Profile #1 (HP Upgrade)** – After the “Goodbye Letter,” continue to the right. This health upgrade and collectible is on the ground inside the trailer park area after fighting more Termite enemies.
6. **Scan #7: Eviction Notice** – In the diner’s car park, find the crashed yellow van. The “Eviction Notice” scan is in a nearby street spot lit by a lamplight. Alternatively, after collecting the Genetic Profile, continue right and scan the notice on the wall.
7. **Scan #8: Pawn Shopkeeper’s Note** – After a fight with a gang, check a box to the right for this note. It’s on a computer console at the far end of a room.
8. **Scan #9: Preacher’s Diary** – After defeating several Termites (including some with guns), jump over the brick wall to your right to find the “Preacher’s Diary” scan on the other side. You’ll find it on a crate in the Preacher’s yard.
9. **Scan #10: Portative Battery** – Inside the Central Core room with the wall of blinking lights, this collectible is on a crate on the left side, around the moment Reach says “our journey is nearly over”.
10. **Scan #11: Inaugural Address** – After restoring power in the library, climb the stairs instead of heading right. Use the moving shelves to cross the gap and reach the upper level. This scan is near the railing.
11. **Scan #12: Archived Poster** – This scan is in the same upper area as the “Inaugural Address.” Grab both before descending.
### General Tips for Collectibles in REPLACED:
* **Walkman is Key:** Collectibles are gathered by scanning them with your Walkman. You can view details of scans and listen to music tracks in the “Scan” and “Music” sections of your Walkman.
* **No Chapter Select (Currently):** Be warned, REPLACED *currently* doesn’t have a Chapter Select or New Game Plus feature. If you miss a collectible, you’ll have to re-collect *everything* again in a subsequent playthrough for full completion. So, explore thoroughly!
* **Visual Cues:** Watch for those shiny interactive spots with a small, white light. They almost always signal a nearby collectible.
There you have it! Every single collectible in Chapter 1. Now get out there and snag ’em all, you completionist, you! And hey, if you’ve got more gaming questions, you know who to ask!
