It’s bittersweet to say, but Life is Strange: Reunion is out. While we are super excited to see the finale of Max and Chloe’s story, it is also a bit sad to see its ending. With all that said, the game is filled with many missable achievements as well as things to collect. This guide is going to help you find all the collectibles, podcasts and evidence in order.
In Life is Strange: Reunion there are 4 different things to collect. You are likely familiar with 2 of them by now and how they work. Max will use her camera to take photos, and Chloe will create sketches. These thankfully track in your journal.
In Reunion, you must also find and listen to podcasts. You don’t have to listen to the full podcast and can back out once it starts, though we do recommend listening for the backstory. Thankfully if you miss any of the photos, graffiti or podcasts you can just use the chapter select to grab them and move on. Unfortunately, that is not the case for our last type of thing we need to grab, evidence.
We need to find all the evidence in the game in a single playthrough which is probably going to be the most difficult thing to do, which is why we have this guide! We will make sure to highlight everything you need in order to get your completion.
Also if you are just looking to do mop up we have separate articles for just Max’s photo’s, Chloe’s sketches and all podcasts which might be easier if you know what you are missing. Now lets get into the guide.
*This is a work in progress and will be updated as we progress*
Mountain State of Mind

Your first time playing as Max, you will be looking through her trunk to find her camera. Once you do so, you can turn around and take a photo of the sunset. This is part of the story and can’t really be missed.
Time Dojo

You will be playing as Max and enter the Planetarium. Head left from the door once you can take control and you should see a few benches and a table in the corner. The table will have a bunch of carved pumpkins on it. Pull out your camera and snap a photo of all the pumpkins.

Continue through the Planetarium until you pass a set of stairs. Just past the stairs you will see a Spacesuit exhibit on your right. Snap a photo of it to collect this photograph.
Podcast #1
From the last photo, turn around and head straight through the doorway that’s infront of you. As soon as you go through the doorway you will see a noticeboard near the washroom on your right. On the noticeboard will be the first podcast that you can interact with.

The first photo collectible in this chapter is automatic as you will take a photo of the Artsy Student during a scene with Max’s class.
Photo: What A Cute Critter
Once you’ve taken control of Max again head ever so slightly to your right. Past the first benches and garbage cans you will see a little opening. Before heading into the opening look to the other end of said opening beside the opposite bench to find some squirrels you can photograph.
Photo: End of School Week
Pretty much directly behind the squirrels to your left will be two students sitting playing chess. Take a photo of them as well. You can also take a picture of many other students that will count for this, this was just the simplest one since its right next to the squirrels.
Photo: The Rebellion Lives in Art
After taking the two above photos turn around and head back to the statue from which you started this chapter at. Instead of taking a right from the statue you now want to go to the left. Follow this area all the way around the construction fencing. As soon as you get to the building itself you should see some graffiti on the wall next to the construction fence.
Evidence: Fire Warning & Protest
From the graffiti turn around and follow the path all the way around until you see a board with a bunch of things posted on it. Interact with it and make sure to scroll through to the fire warning flyer and the protest flyer as you need both as evidence.
Photo: Not Quite Nevermore
Continue along this same path now until you find an odd looking statue with a bench infront of it. On the bench should be a couple of crows that you will want to take a photo of for the last collectible of this chapter.
Podcast #2
Head to the main path that goes through the middle of the park. On a bench here you will see a flyer with Moses on it which is another podcast you can listen to.
Evidence: Reggie’s Notes
After helping Reggie with his assignment as per the story, look to the left to find his notes sitting on a picnic table. The game will mention his notes to you in a scene after helping him. Read them to grab this piece of evidence.
Open Mic Night
There are 2 missable achievements in Open Mic Night for Going Once…Going Twice and Soul of a Poet.
Podcast #3 and Evidence: Lucas’ Podcast
Make your way through the chapter until you spot Lucas in the back corner. Approach him and he will quickly brush you off. You will need to rewind so that you can learn how to get him to talk to you and eventually he will point you towards his podcast business card on a table behind you.
Go collect the card and listen to the podcast. This will count as both a podcast and evidence and is technically story related so can’t be missed.
Bar Break In
Sketch: Circle of Life
We will now be back to controlling Chloe in this chapter. As soon as you can take control of Chloe outside make a left and go around the side of the bar and head all the way to the back. You will see a garbage can with a skull sitting on top. Interact with it twice and the second time Chloe will draw a sketch of it.
Fremont Street
Evidence: Fremont Map
As soon as you take control of Max turn left where you will se a large truck. Head to the passenger side of the truck and sitting on the seat will be a map you can grab.
Evidence: Abraxas Flyer
From the last piece of evidence do a 180 and run across to the other side of the area. On top of the trunk of a car will be the flyer you can grab.
Photo: There’s A Light Over At The Frankenstein Place
Immediately after grabbing the evidence above look to your left at the house itself and look up into the far upper right window. Make sure you are close enough so that the game registers the creepy mannequin in the window and snap the photo.
Lying and Waiting
Sketch: Tip For The Rogue Bar Artist
You will be sitting at the bar as Chloe now. After a little bit of a cutscene you will take control of her. Look down at the bar and to your right to find a coaster and interact with it.

Reunion
It’s, Uh, Kind of Fascinating to Me Achievement
As soon as you gain control of Max turn around and head up the stairs. You will get a scene between Max and Chloe and at the end this achievement should unlock. You can also choose to leave once its started and it will still unlock.

Immediately after playing through that scene you will be back at the bottom of the stairs. Turn and head back up once again and take a photo of Chloe sleeping.
Admin Sleuth
Evidence: Newspaper Article
Once you take control of Max head around the corner and into the library. You will see Loretta sitting here so go and speak with her. After the conversation you will get up and move forward and slightly to the right. Here you will find “The History of the Occult” book.
Read the book then head back to Loretta and give her the name Jack Parsons. This will get Loretta to bring up an article on her laptop which is a piece of evidence for Max.

The Overlight
Happy Birthday Achievement Step 1
This is a 2 part achievement and the first is done here. As soon as you take control of Chloe walk forward to the tables infront of you. On top will be a 3D printer. Make sure to look at it so that you trigger the first part of this.

Happy Birthday Achievement Step 2
You should now have a prompt that you can talk to Moses so head back downstairs. When you talk to him you should now have an option to ask about the 3D printer. Doing so will eventually lead to Chloe getting an item which we can use in a later chapter to unlock the achievement.
Times In Turtle
Photo: Where Water Meets Land
As soon as you can take control of Max head to the railing where Safi is. Before speaking to her go to the left of her and then look out towards the shoreline to snap a photo.

Have a conversation with him and talk about the protest. Chloe will say she wants in on the protest and Lucas will naturally be skeptical since he thinks Chloe is considering becoming a student. Select “your words” as the next prompt.
Lucas will then give you some details about the protest and you will unlock the Slick Rick achievement.
