The Last of Us Part I chapters in order
2 min read · Updated
About this list
The main story runs from Hometown in Austin through Boston, Pittsburgh, Jackson County, Colorado and Salt Lake City. Left Behind is a separate story with Ellie and Riley, with its own table.
Chapter names link to their pages, where the walkthrough sits in the open and story outcomes stay behind a spoiler warning.
You play as Sarah in Hometown on the night of the outbreak, then as Joel for most of the journey. Ellie takes over for much of Lakeside Resort, and she is the only playable character in Left Behind.
Left Behind cuts between two places: the Colorado Mountain Plaza, where Ellie searches a ruined mall for medical supplies, and a night out with Riley in Boston's Liberty Gardens mall. Its pages list the region and mall for each chapter.
