How many collectibles are there?
If you only remember one number, make it this: 275 collectible locations, split as 75 physical story items and 200 Resonance Points that act as the skill currency. The 75 physical items are the things guides usually list as "collectibles", 8 Blades, 37 Artefacts and 30 Charms, and the 200 Resonance Points are the reason some guides quote a much bigger total. Both ways of counting are describing the same game, which is why you will see 75, 275 and occasionally the outdated 72 all floating around search results.
Where does "72" come from, then? A few launch guides ran an older, self-contradictory summary that said 7 Blades, 35 Artefacts and 25 Charms, which added up to 72. Their own detailed chapter tables disagreed with that summary and listed 8, 37 and 30, so the 72 number is an outdated summary, not a second count. This guide uses the 275 system because the authoritative collectible sites, PowerPyx, allthings.how and PlayStationTrophies, all report the same 8 Blades, 37 Artefacts, 30 Charms and 200 Resonance Points.
| Category | Total | What they are | Trophy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blades | 8 (+1 DLC) | Swords recovered from Hero Graves and story beats, each with a combat perk. First one is automatic in Chapter 1; the last base Blade is in Chapter 10. | Plunderer |
| Artefacts | 37 | 14 Relics of the Present + 23 Relics of the Past. Pure lore items with no gameplay effect. | Hoarder |
| Charms | 30 | Auto-equipped accessories; five of each sub-type, and the more you wear from a set, the higher the trigger chance. This count includes the five Theseus Echoes. | Superstitious |
| Theseus Echoes | 5 | Pierced Coins found at altar locations in Chapters 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10. Counted inside the 30 Charms. | In the Name of my Kin |
| Resonance Points | 200 | Glowing skill currency, +1 each. You need 165 of the 200 to buy every skill in the six mastery branches. | Like a Warrior |

Blades: the eight swords
Blades are the combat collectibles: each one changes how you fight. The full Blade guide lists all eight plus the DLC sword, but the quick chapter map is: Rusty Sword (Ch1, automatic), Falchion (Ch2, automatic), Kopis (Ch4), Greek Sword (Ch5), Sica (Ch6), Khopesh (Ch7), Broken Spear (Ch9) and Xiphos (Ch10). Chapters 3, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14 have no Blades.
Theseus Echoes: the five Pierced Coins
Echoes are altar items that echo Ariadne's thoughts, and all five sit in Chapters 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10. They count toward the 30 Charms but have their own trophy, In the Name of my Kin. Details and exact altar notes are in the Echoes guide.
Resonance Points and why they are the only missable item
Resonance Points are white glowing pickups, +1 each, with some awarded after fights. There are 200 in the game, and the Like a Warrior trophy needs 165 to buy every skill in the six mastery branches. Here is the catch that makes them special: Resonance Points do not carry over through chapter select. They save only up to the next checkpoint, so replaying an old chapter rolls your balance back to what it was at that point in the run, and dying before a checkpoint means re-grabbing what you lost. Every other collectible can be mopped up freely with chapter select; Resonance Points are the one thing you should collect as you go.
Are any collectibles missable?
No, with one exception. Blades, Artefacts, Charms and Echoes are all recoverable through chapter select, and the game tracks what is missing per chapter. The only genuinely missable progress is Resonance Points, because of the carry-over rule above. There is also no New Game Plus, so chapter select is your only replay tool.
How to confirm you have everything
- Finish each chapter, then compare your in-game tally against the chapter table above.
- Use chapter select to sweep anything missing; most Artefacts and Charms sit just off the main route.
- Count the physical set: 8 Blades + 37 Artefacts + 30 Charms (including 5 Echoes) = 75.
- Buy every skill with 165 of the 200 Resonance Points to finish Like a Warrior.
