    Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice has a total of 44 collectibles known as lorestones, scattered throughout the 11 chapters of the game.

    The game does NOT have chapter select, or any mode to mop up collectibles. However, progress does carry between playthroughs, so you can grab what you missed on a second playthrough if necessary. This is the only missable achievement in the game, and everything else will be rewarded through natural progression. Your progress can be seen on the outside ring of each stone. Most of the lorestones are easily found, but chapter by chapter timelinks are available below:
    Chapter 1 - 0:34
    Chapter 2 - 2:16
    Chapter 3 - 6:30
    Chapter 4 - 8:31
    Chapter 5 - 10:15
    Chapter 6 - 13:35
    Chapter 7 - 17:00
    Chapter 8 - 21:31
    Chapter 9 - 23:37
    Chapter 10 - 23:42
    Chapter 11 - 27:11

    NOTE: Lorestones are only saved at checkpoints. If you die, you may need to pick up certain lorestones again!

    NOTE 2: The game has been updated so that lorestones are unlocked in order, and the symbols are not necessarily tied to the locations. This means that certain lorestones have multiple possible symbols on them based on what you've collected before them. If you miss one in a chapter, try to grab all lorestones for that chapter just in case.

    StudioCorpseI don't know what is wrong with my version of the game... Number 14 in this video looks like a H or N but in mine it looks like an Up Arrow. Anyone else have this problem?

    gashnaFYI as of 2024 there IS a chapter selection now

    Sir Lumbo+1 to gashna -- there is now chapter select functionality and the chapter selection screen lets you know the total Lorestones and how many you have collected. The solution should be updated to reflect that.

    In addition, the Lorestones, regardless of what order you collect them in the chapter, unlock on the wheel in an arbitrary way. This is why StudioCorpse is finding mismatch to older guides. Now, the first Lorestone you collect in a level will always occupy the first slot/symbol in the wheel for that chapter (whereas, before, each Lorestone corresponded to a specific slot/symbol in the wheel).

    This change is less beneficial as I'm not sure it's possible to identify which specific Lorestone(s) were missed and remain to be collected; you have to go through all of them in the chapter to figure out which one(s) were missing.

    Good news is you can quit to the main menu as soon as you collect your missing Lorestone (I waited for the dialogue to finish before doing so, just to be safe).

    All the lorestone locations.

    This is the only achievement that is not story related.

    It is a missable achievement. Game does save the lorestones through multiple playthroughs so you will just need to get the ones you missed when playing through again.

    IMPORTANT: Something to be mindful about is when exiting the game the last lorestone you got might not have saved so always go back to the last lorestone you got to make sure it saved.

    Enjoy! This is a wonderfully unique game that will take you through the depths of madness. Safe to say it's not a game for everyone.

    I prefer text walkthroughs, and some of the puzzles were annoying me. I don't usually like doing this, but until TA posts a proper walkthrough, this is what I found helpful. It gives step-by-step through the whole game, and puts the lorestones in the order as the fit in the playthrough.

    erod550This is the best guide. I started out using the gamepressure guide and ended up getting a bit lost in the Valravyn area and missed a couple lorestones. Switched to the IGN guide from there and found them all and found the ones I missed easily at the start of a second playthrough.
