All Lore Collectible Locations in Evil West

Evil West has a whopping 401 items to obtain across 16 chapters. With the majority of them being Bucks pickups, here are the fewer but just as important Lore pieces to discover. For any level that goes unmentioned, Lore pieces are not to be discovered within them. This does not omit the pieces you collect from treasure chests – such as skins and other customisation options.

Remember that the game hides its chapter select within its main menu. You can replay chapters to pinpoint and pick up any items you missed as helpfully displayed and tracked in this same screen.

Level One

1. Fragment of Inventory – Found in the single train carriage.
2. Chester Morgan’s Letter – Follow the burning path but stick to the right to pick this up beside a burnt down train carriage.

Level Two

1. Familiar Tattoo Project – Found in the abandoned barn to the left of the above house. Simply turn left as you come out of the house that contained the Ghost scarf and jump over the chained-up opening.
2. Peter D’Abano’s Notes 1 – Found on the path once bypassing the force field and crossing over into it. Shows up once clearing the first horded area of this location – you can’t miss it.
3. Peter D’Abano’s Notes 2 – At eye level once getting through the gate.
4. Peter D’Abano’s Notes 3 – Do not jump over the chained up ledge after coming up to it from the left. Stick to the left and you will see this pickup glowing in the distance.
