Sound bruv kudos for the early guide. I got all the collectables/cogs in the first act with my co-op partner yesterday, will have to use this from now.

 

Thanks.

 

I just need to get my image partner, so then it can finally get completed and stuck. As with them it'll help a lot.

 

Gonna try get a video for them all added as well. This way I'll be pleasing all parties, as some like written and others visual (some both!).

Looks good overall, just one tiny problem:

 

Requisition Form 3/42: Exit the 'Sickbay' and take the next room down the hall on your left labelled 'Braid'. Look on the table to the right and you'll see the Form.

 

Journal 5/42: When Sam mentions the house to Braid, keep left along that wall. You'll see a gate a little way down and a poster on the wall next to it that reads "Best Breakfast in Town". Kick in the gate and the Journal will be on the floor in the right corner.

 

I'm sure Baird would have some kind of sarcastic, insulting comment for you about getting his name wrong. :p

Excellent guide! I only managed to find 5 collectibles and a couple of dog tags on me own, never would of thought to turn around in the first chapter or that there would be one in the prologue

 

Thanks to this guide I only need 4 COG tags and a handful of collectibles and I'm done :Bounce:

 

This is an great guide without pics or videos better than that other one floating around with loads of pics (I found that one to be less clear), and once it gets the vids it'll be awesome :woop:
