TLOU Part I missions

Back in a Flash

Back in a Flash is the first chapter of Left Behind. After a short flashback to Riley's surprise visit at Ellie's school in Boston, you play Ellie in the snowed-in Colorado Mountain Plaza, searching the mall for anything that can help Joel.

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

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.

Escape from Liberty Gardens

Escape from Liberty Gardens is the final chapter of Left Behind: Ellie and Riley run from a horde of runners through the Boston mall, climbing scaffolding to find a way out. It has no collectibles, and finishing it unlocks the gold trophy Don't Go.

Fun and Games

Fun and Games is the fourth chapter of Left Behind and the busiest one for trophies: Ellie and Riley ride a carousel, wreck a photo booth, play pretend in Raja's Arcade and hold a water gun fight inside Liberty Gardens. Along the way Riley finally explains why she brought Ellie to the mall.

Hometown

Hometown is the prologue chapter of The Last of Us Part I, set in and around Austin, Texas, on the night the infection breaks out in September 2013. You play as Sarah Miller exploring her house, then as her father Joel as the family tries to flee the city with his brother Tommy.

Jackson

Jackson is the short closing chapter of the main story: you play as Ellie, walking through the woods with Joel toward Tommy's settlement in Wyoming in the spring of 2034. It has one section, the Epilogue, and one collectible, the comic Singularity.

Lakeside Resort

Lakeside Resort jumps to winter and puts you in control of Ellie near Silver Lake, Colorado, hunting with a bow and searching for medicine. She runs into two strangers, David and James, and for part of the second half the game switches you back to Joel.

Mallrats

Mallrats is the second chapter of Left Behind and the first full flashback: Ellie and Riley dodge a patrol in Boston, cross the rooftops and slip into the abandoned Liberty Gardens mall. It is a calm, story-driven chapter with Halloween masks, a brick-throwing contest that unlocks a trophy, and a breaker switch that brings the mall's lights back.

Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is the chapter where hunters take over: armed locals who drove out the military and now ambush anyone passing through. Joel and Ellie are forced off the road downtown, fight through the Hotel Grand and the Financial District, and join brothers Henry and Sam to reach the bridge out of the city.

So Close

So Close is the third chapter of Left Behind, back in the present at the Colorado Mountain Plaza. Ellie has to restore power to reach the crashed military helicopter on the mall's upper level, which means siphoning gas for a generator, fighting stalkers in a flooded stockroom and sneaking through a pet store full of infected.

The Enemy of My Enemy

The Enemy of My Enemy is the fifth chapter of Left Behind and its main combat chapter. With the medical kit in her pack, Ellie fights back across the Colorado Mountain Plaza to Joel's hiding place while armed survivors and infected roam the halls, and you can turn the two groups on each other.

The Firefly Lab

The Firefly Lab is the second-to-last chapter, set inside Saint Mary's Hospital in Salt Lake City, where the Fireflies have their base. It is a single section played as Joel, and its five collectibles include the recordings that explain what the Fireflies have learned from Ellie.

The Outskirts

The Outskirts takes Joel, Tess and Ellie out of the Boston quarantine zone and across the ruined city toward the capitol building, where Fireflies are meant to collect Ellie. It is where you meet clickers and learn to slip past them with thrown bricks and bottles, on a route through downtown, the Goldstone Building and a history museum.

The Quarantine Zone

The Quarantine Zone starts the story proper 20 years after the outbreak, inside Boston's military-run zone in August 2033. As Joel, now a smuggler, you and his partner Tess slip outside the wall to track down Robert, a dealer who owes them guns, and end up taking a new job from the Fireflies.

The Suburbs

The Suburbs picks up on a riverbank outside Pittsburgh, with Joel, Ellie, Henry and Sam heading for a radio tower where Henry hopes to meet his group. You cross a flooded sewer that was once home to a community of survivors, then fight hunters and their Humvee on a quiet street in Waverly Township.

The University

The University sends Joel and Ellie on horseback across the University of Eastern Colorado near Boulder, looking for the science building where Tommy says the Fireflies are based. It mixes quiet exploration with a dorm full of infected and a fight against armed looters inside the lab building.

Tommy's Dam

Tommy's Dam brings Joel and Ellie to Jackson County, Wyoming, months after Pittsburgh, where they find Joel's brother Tommy helping run a hydroelectric plant for his wife Maria's settlement. It is a short chapter built around a reunion and two fights with bandits, one at the dam and one at an old ranch house.
