Luto Guide: Chapter 1 Collectibles and Locations

Diving into Luto's eerie world starts with Chapter 1, "It's Happening Again," where you'll uncover seven key collectibles scattered through a haunting house. These include three notes, one card, and three items that tie into the story's themes of loss and mystery. Nailing them early ramps up your progress toward trophies like Collector of Notes (3/13 total) and Collector of Items (3/25 total).

You'll explore familiar spaces like the bathroom, hallways, and basement, but watch for subtle spots—missing one could mean replaying the chapter. Stick close, and you'll snag everything in under 15 minutes, setting a strong pace for the psychological horror ahead.

Why Collectibles Matter in Luto Chapter 1

You kick off in a disorienting loop, but grabbing these items isn't just for completion— they unlock deeper lore and push you toward full game mastery. Focus on notes for narrative clues, the card for language hints, and items for practical puzzle-solving. With only seven to find, it's a quick win, but the house's shifting layout demands sharp eyes. Prioritize exploring every corner right after starting, as some spots lock out later.

tip

Save manually before key areas like the basement to retry without restarting the whole chapter if you miss something.

All Notes Locations: Uncover the Story Clues

Notes reveal backstory on moving woes and symbols, with three to grab here. Start strong by snagging them in sequence for smooth progression.

Moving Progress: Right after exiting the bathroom, head left down the hall. Spot this on the left railing—it's your first taste of the family's struggles.
That Symbol Again: Venture to the basement via the door after descending the stairs. You'll find it on the desk, hinting at recurring mysteries.
In Loving Memory: Back upstairs near the radiator, check the trash can. This emotional piece adds depth to the loss theme.

These contribute directly to your 3/13 note tally. Grab them all, and you're one step closer to the collector trophy.

important

Read each note fully in your inventory (Inventory > Notes) to ensure it registers for trophy tracking.

Luto Review (PS5)

The Single Card: Casa = House

Only one card in this chapter, but it's a gem for the Collector of Cards trophy (1/14 total). After grabbing the second note in the basement, look right on the same desk. This bilingual find translates "Casa" to "House," tying into the game's thematic puzzles. Don't rush past it—it's easy to overlook amid the dim lighting.

Cards like this often unlock subtle hints for later chapters, so inspect it closely.

Key Items to Secure: Don't Miss These Essentials

Three items round out your haul, pushing Collector of Items to 3/25. They blend utility with story beats.

Home Keys 1 of 2: Near the trash can with the third note, on a small table. Vital for door access.
Sam's Sketchbook: On Wednesday, after leaving the bathroom, head downstairs—it's on the floor left of the stairs, with missing pages that tease future reveals.
Home Keys 2 of 2: Still on Wednesday, check beside the bathroom sink. Combine with the first for full functionality.
