The Last of Us Part 2 - The Marina: All items and how to avoid the sniper explained

How to reach The Marina

You will start the chapter overlooking the Marina in the distance.

From where you begin, there is a railed off area behind you.

Turn and take the steps up, and at the end by the railing, is the Kansas Coin.

Go down the stairs until the dead end.

To continue, go back up a flight of stairs, where there is an elevator shaft in the corner.

Jump over the railing onto it, and down to the ground.

Follow Yara to the train station. To the right of the entrance, walk round the ramp to find a melee weapon and the Louisiana Coin.

Go through the train, grabbing supplies as you go, and out the other side.

Yara asks how to get in from here, and Abby will say you have to go around. Go left and drop into the water, past the rusted cars.

Make your way round to the dead end, then turn back. Yara will then lead you down a crevice and into a drain.

Exit the drain area, then round the barrage and up the railings to the dock.

There is a ladder and a door straight ahead.

Try the door first to find it's locked, then leap over the counter.

Inside is the Marina Note Artefact on the table, amongst various supplies.

Go back out and up the ladder. Hop the fence and follow the route round until you squeeze through the trees, and a cutscene.

How to avoid the sniper in The Marina

To reach the sniper, you need to use the cover of the various vehicles ahead to avoid fire.

The sniper is situated on the right side of the buildings ahead. When you see the glare from the scope, expect a shot to be coming.

You'll want to move between cover points when the reflection disappears.

Take your time here and sprint between points. The route doesn't matter, as long as you are advancing.

You can take several shots, but keep an eye on your health, and heal up when you need to.

Towards the end of this section is an ambulance you can enter from the back. There are supplies inside you can craft for a health kit.

Just after this is a vehicle with a cart you can pull out. Grab it and take it to the right, using it as cover. When it disintegrates, sprint out and into the building.

How to deal with the infected in The Marina

Once inside, you'll have to deal with infected. Stay behind the car to avoid sniper fire and kill those that advance.

Turn left now and follow Manny upstairs.

Again, there are more infected here, and you need to fight them off while staying covered from sniper fire.

The sniper is on your left now - by the green truck is a good place to stand to avoid getting hit.

After this wave, heal if you need to and move up, positioning the blue truck to your left as cover.

The next set of infected includes a shambler, so try not to get overwhelmed.

After that, you can move on up to the corner. There are supplies in here, then when ready, follow Manny through the hole in the wall and into the elevator.

From here, you must keep advancing on the sniper between cover points again, except this time he's in view. You don't need to do anything when in cover - just wait until he stops firing, then move up. Repeat this as part of a chance sequence.

Eventually he'll close a shutter behind him. Go to the double doors at the end.

After the cutscene, advance through the restaurant. All you need to do is make your way to the open door at the end - there's no surprises along the way. Once you do, there's a cutscene and the end of the chapter.

Next is The Island.
