Exploring the WDI shipping area in The Coast

Go ahead and climb over the fence using the container.

There is a WDI building ahead. Go through the door just round the corner.

There will be a Workbench as soon as you enter.

In the next room, go into the corner office for supplies and a Long Gun Holster.

To continue, climb onto the roof of this corner office via the crates to the side, then out the window.

This shipping container area is full of infected - a mix of runners, clickers and stalkers. They're all reasonably spaced out, so even if you don't use stealth, they should be easy to manage.

At the far right end is a multi-tier car park with a huge column and wire fencing below it.

Go left at the police car underneath here and climb the rubble.

Once you go up one level, there is a corpse to the right.

Next to the corpse is the Alabama Coin.

To continue, turn around and leap across to the other side of the road.

When you do, it'll collapse. Press the X button to surface out of the water and catch your breath.

Straight ahead is some ledges and a truck. Grab the supples within, drop out of the side, and squeeze through the gap.

You'll be at a destroyed pier area.

Swim through to the bank on the other side. You'll be next to a ferry, with WTA on the side.

You can enter via the hole to the left.

Exploring the ferry in The Coast

Go into the next room from the first corridor into the infirmary.

From the first bed to the right, there's the Infirmary Note Artefact, as well as an arrow.

Head out the corner door, then turn around to see a set of stairs, leading to a door above.

After opening the door here, you get the crossbow - a new weapon.

Though it's tempting to use it on the infected ahead, you can easily stealth kill both.

At the end is the Mutiny Note Artefact. This has a safe code - 90-77-01 - which we'll be using in a second.

Head back to the start of the room, and take the stairs up.

There are more infected here. It's best to clear them all out before exploring the floor, where there's plenty of supplies and a missable item to be found.

From the stairs, go right then right again into a dead end corridor. On the luggage at the end is the West Virginia Coin.

To continue, take the linear corridors until you can go outside. From here, go round the windows to a sign saying 'Sun Deck' and some stairs going up.

There are more infected up here, and be warned, if you are spotted, a lot will come running, so take your time.

Before you press on, if you turn left as soon as you emerge up the stairs to this floor, there is a hole in the wall, with a safe clearly visible. Make sure the infected inside is taken care of before attempting to open.

Enter safe code 90-77-01 to get the Improvised Weapons and Terrorist Tactics Training Manual, unlocking the Ordnance branch for Abby.

If you have all previous ones so far in the game, this should be the last Training Manual, granting you the Journeyman Trophy.

Now press on across this deck to the very end, where there is a door. There are clickers and one shambler to avoid as you go.

Once through the door, you are at the ship's cockpit. There are some supplies and the Ferry Log Artefact next to the corpse of the captain here.

When ready, head up the ladder.

You're now on top of the ship. Turn around, go past the ladder hatch, and behind the fin is the Utah Coin.

Now go past the hatch you climbed up and leap back onto the freeway.

How to enter the Aquarium in The Coast

The route from here is linear and straightforward. After climbing over the vehicles, is a ladder up. Now follow the road until you're forced to drop down, and go a little further, to emerge in front of the Aquarium.

Before the building is a dolphin statue. In the pool around it is the Mississippi Coin. This one is hard to spot - it's on the same half of where you approach, so walk through the water and look down until the button prompt appears.

To get into the Aquarium, you have to go right, past the seal statue, and hop the short fence.

Climb through the windows into a small room with a rope.

Try the door to see a roof window. This is our next objective. Smash the window above in this room and throw the rope off to the side, so you can see the shadow fall to the ground.

Go back outside and climb the rope to the roof.

Now smash the glass and drop into the building.

Our The Last of Us Part 2 walkthrough provides pointers for the later chapters of the game, including Hostile Territory, The Shortcut, The Descent, Ground Zero, The Marina, The Island and The Escape. Meanwhile, we have a complete list of The Last of Us Part 2 Safe Code solutions.

From here, inspect the bag, then proceed into the corridor, then the crab double doors.

Turn off the stereo, then make your way through the back and to the boat. Enter for a cutscene.

The next chapter is Return to the Coast.
