Storylines
Part 12 of 12 in Main story
Good to know
- Chapter 12 of 12; spring 2034, Jackson County, Wyoming.
- One section: Epilogue.
- Like Lakeside Resort, this chapter is played as Ellie.
- Singularity, the last comic, is on the driver's seat of a broken-down truck to the right after you climb through the barbed wire fence.
- Finishing the chapter completes Part I and unlocks the gold trophy No Matter What.
- It picks up straight after The Firefly Lab, and it is the only chapter in Part I with no enemies of any kind.
Sections in order
The Epilogue is the only section. A blocked road forces Joel and Ellie out of the car, and the rest is a walk on foot through the woods to a lookout over the settlement.
The walk
As you follow Joel through the trees and over the barbed wire fence, he tells Ellie that she and Sarah would have gotten along, because the two are a lot alike. Detour right past the fence before moving on if you still need the final comic.
The last conversationSpoilerShow
Within sight of the settlement, Ellie admits she carries guilt over Riley, Tess and Sam, and asks Joel to swear that what he told her about the hospital is true. He swears it, lying again, and Ellie answers with a quiet okay as the credits roll.
Finding Singularity
Singularity is issue 14 and the end of the Savage Starlight run Ellie has been collecting since Pittsburgh. Once you are through the fence and among the trees, ignore Joel's path and bear right until a rusted truck comes into view; the comic lies on its driver's seat. The blurb on the back wraps the series up with Daniela safely home and leading the Last Watch, keeping the truth about Captain Ryan to herself.
Ellie's outfit is fixed
Any shirt skin you have equipped for Ellie is ignored here. The chapter opens on a cutscene of her looking at her bite, so she stays in her red flannel for the whole walk.
- Ellie WilliamsEllie Williams is the 14-year-old girl Joel is hired to smuggle out of Boston, and your companion for most of The Last of Us Part I. She was bitten weeks earlier and never turned, so the Fireflies believe her immunity could lead to a vaccine. You play as her in the winter chapter and in the Left Behind DLC.
- Joel MillerJoel Miller is the man you play for almost all of The Last of Us Part I. A hardened smuggler in the Boston quarantine zone, he takes a job escorting 14-year-old Ellie out of the city, and the drop-off turns into a year-long trip across the country to find the Fireflies.

Bill's Town
Bill's Town brings Joel and Ellie to Lincoln, Massachusetts, a small town that Joel's paranoid contact Bill has rigged with traps to keep the infected out. Bill owes Joel a favor, so you team up with him to find a working car, which means a trip through a clicker-filled graveyard and an infected high school.

Bus Depot opens in the spring of 2034 as Joel and Ellie walk into Salt Lake City, aiming for the Fireflies at Saint Mary's Hospital. The route runs along a highway full of dead cars, through the Logan James bus station and an abandoned quarantine zone, and down into a flooded tunnel full of infected.
