The following chapters are pretty short, so we’ve lumped Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 together in one The Evil Within 2 collectibles guide. A climactic battle occurs in the Grand Theater, and there’s only one collectible you can find before the encounter begins. Afterwards, Sebastian finds himself in a new, mysterious, and completely evil location.
At this point, you should be nearing the halfway point when it comes to collectibles. We’ve barely scratched the story’s surface, and there’s quite a bit of gameplay left, but the collectibles become a little bit more sparse as the campaign continues. Chapter 8 and 9, two very linear chapters, barely feature any. That all changes in Chapter 11 — you won’t find any collectibles in Chapter 10.
