Tess's list is the ninth collectible artifact, and the twelfth collectible overall, in The Last of Us. It is found during the "Outside" section of the third chapter, "The Outskirts".[1]
Description[]
A spiral notepad used by Tess to record her and Joel's inventory of smuggled goods. On the front page, she wrote lists of items they received in smuggling trades, namely from Bill, with the month and day of the shipments along with additional notes. On January 8th, they received a shipment from Bill containing food and Canadian whiskey, bandages, ammunition, and bottles of pills, which Tess seemed irritated over the fact that Bill leaves them unsorted. On April 4th, they received a similar shipment, with Tess expressing her dislike for sardines and was surprised that Bill managed to find a bottle of morphine. On June 13th, their shipment included a bottle of Scotch whiskey that Tess kept for her and Joel, as well as a Kevlar vest that would sell for a good price.
On the final log, dated August 2nd, Tess leaves a note to remind Joel to deliver eight bottles of pills to Donovan, a smuggler in the West End district. Aside from the pills, they only received two boxes of 9mm rounds and twelve D batteries, which Tess points out as being a weak delivery and that Bill promised to do better on the next one.[1]
Acquisition[]
Inside the safehouse at the beginning of the chapter, Joel and Tess share a conversation about Marlene and their deal to smuggle Ellie while overlooking the quarantine zone's wall. Tess then moves a nearby bookshelf and squeezes through an opening behind it, with Ellie following, as they wait on an elevator with a generator by it. Before following them, turn around and go into the apartment from the previous cinematic. On the bedside table by the couch (the one Joel took a nap on) is the artifact, next to a gas lantern.[1]
Be sure to pick up the artifact before starting the generator and using the elevator, as the area is inaccessible after that.
