While the game contains many combat encounters and action sequences, many collectibles are also available. One such collectible is shiv doors. They are useful as they often lead to rooms containing resources and other collectibles. There are a total of 13 shiv doors to be found within the game. Once you have located all of them, you will receive the Master Of Unlocking trophy.

Some Things To Remember…

  • None of the shiv doors are missable. By using Chapter Select, you will be able to go back and open any doors you may have missed.
  • As the name suggests, each door will require a shiv to be opened. Therefore, try to always keep at least one shiv on you.
  • Related to the previous point, opening a door will break the shiv you are using. Try to use your shivs sparingly.

The Outskirts

Downtown

The first shiv door can be found inside the Goldstone Building in Chapter Three of the game. After the cutscene where Joel gets attacked, you will find yourself in a collapsed hallway after Tess has saved him.

Instead of going straight, go into the room to your immediate right. There will be two Special Cola vending machines on the other side of the room. Go through the doorway to the left near the machines and the shiv door will be straight ahead.

Museum

The second shiv door can be found after Joel gets separated from Tess and Ellie. After the cutscene, you will find yourself crawling under some rubble. Turn and crawl out through the white door and into the hallway.

The area is filled with Clickers, so sneak by until you reach an open doorway to your left near a statue head, after passing through two sets of white doors in the hallway. Upon entering, the shiv door will be to your immediate right next to a water dispenser.

Bill’s Town

The Woods

The third shiv door can be found just before you enter the actual town by boosting Ellie over the gate. Approach the red brick building with the fire escape staircase to its left. It will be near the gate you must boost Ellie over.

Instead of entering the building, drop down the ledge next to it and the shiv door will be to your immediate left. Once you boost Ellie over the gate, you cannot return to open the door, so it is important to do it beforehand.

The fourth shiv door can be found shortly after the last. After Ellie opens the gate for you, head down the main street towards the caravan. Near it, you will see Marquis’ Music Store. Make a left into the alleyway here and head straight (watch out for the trip wire and the clicker nearby). Turn right and the shiv door will be on your right near a red barrel.

Pittsburgh

Alone And Forsaken

The fifth shiv door can be found after you have defeated all the bandits outside of Kingston’s Bookstore. Enter the bookstore and go to the top floor via the staircase to your right. Turn right immediately at the top of the staircase and head towards the restroom in the far-right corner of this area. It is next to River’s Café and is the next shiv door.

The sixth shiv door can be found immediately after the cutscene with Joel and Ellie hiding behind the yellow taxi while the hunters cross the water. To Joel’s immediate left will be a white door with a red ‘X’ spray-painted onto it. This is your next shiv door.

Financial District

The seventh shiv door can be found further along the chapter. You will eventually end up at an intersection after the encounter in which Ellie covers Joel with the rifle. To your right, you will see the Ration Depot building. The building will be located between two large tanks.

Make your way inside and through the doorway next to the blood stain on the wall. You will see the shiv door directly across from you upon entering the next room.

Escape The City

The eighth shiv door can be found after you meet Henry, and he leads you and the rest of the group from the apartment via the staircase. After coming down the first flight of stairs, instead of following Henry and going down the next flight of stairs, go towards the white door directly across from the staircase. This is the next shiv door.

Tommy’s Dam

Hydroelectric Dam

The ninth shiv door can be found close to the beginning of the chapter. Go up the metal staircase next to the waterfall that should take you to the dam facility. The blue shiv door will be on your immediate right once you reach the top. This is one of the easier doors to find and cannot be missed.

The University

Science Building

The tenth shiv door can be found shortly after you have climbed through the hole in the wall. Exit the classroom and follow along the hallway until you pass a floodlight. There should be a door directly behind it.

Go through the open door behind it and follow along past all the doors until you reach the one at the end of the hallway. It will be Room 205 on your far right. This particular door might be a bit difficult to find, as the hallways can look quite similar to one another, and it is easy to get lost.

Lakeside Resort

Cabin Resort

The eleventh shiv door can be found once you gain control of Joel. You will pass a gas station with some bandits making fires in the distance. Try to avoid them where possible, as they will attack if you are spotted. Directly across the street from the station is a motel.

Go to the last open doorway towards the right side of the motel and enter the room. There will be a broken window to your right near a dresser. Climb through the broken window and turn left into the alleyway next to the building. You will see a wooden shed with the next shiv door.

Bus Depot

Underground Tunnel

The twelfth shiv door can be found once Ellie opens the gate for Joel after he is attacked by a clicker. There will be a small room with a workbench to the far right of the room. Once you have upgraded, go through the doorway near the workbench and up the steps. The locked door will be to your right.

The Firefly Lab

The Hospital

The thirteenth and final shiv door for the game can be found once you barricade the door and go up the stairwell to escape the soldiers. Once you exit the stairwell, the door will be direct across from you behind the front desk (Room 605). This room should also contain some of the last collectibles for the game. You should now have unlocked the Master Of Unlocking Trophy.
