In The Last of Us, Firefly pendants offer a poignant and melancholy twist on the usual collectibles-gathering one might expect in a story-driven third-person shooter. The anti-establishment revolutionaries are emblematic of exactly the kind of moral ambiguity that makes The Last of Us worthy of a remaster in the form of Part 1. 

The Last of Us Part 1 impressed us here at Tech Radar Gaming. The faithful iteration of the original game is a ground-up remake for PS5 and PC offering a handful of new features while staying true to what made the original a classic. Though the game is currently only available on PS5, a PC release is set to follow soon. 

As with many of the collectible-gathering challenges in The Last of Us Part 1, tracking down every Firefly pendant is surprisingly tricky, but essential if you want to unlock all of the Last of Us Part 1 trophies. However, we've collated a list of the locations of every single pendant in the game along with their locations, which is bound to help you on your journey to recover every one of these somber mementos. Here's what you have to do to get your hands on every pendant. 

The Last of Us Firefly pendants: all the locations in Part 1.
