Information about Collectibles in Saints Row, including when do Collectibles unlock, and how to find and acquire Collectibles.
How to Unlock Collectibles in Saints Row¶
After completing the mission Take Me to Church you’ll unlock The Church, following which two pairs of missions will need to be completed to cover various new features available now that you have a proper HQ. One of these missions is Office Decor, which covers how to acquire and place Collectibles. Once this mission is complete you’ll be able to find more Collectibles throughout Santo Ileso.
How to Find and Display Collectibles in Saints Row¶
Once the aforementioned mission is done, you can check the “Collectibles” app on your phone, where you’ll find all the potential Collectibles in the game separated into four categories - Small, Medium, Large and Wall. Select an undiscovered Collectible and you’ll get a clue as to its location and the silhouette… well, kind of gives it away. Still, be mindful of the text, as sometimes you’ll find yourself looking for a specific strand of hay in a haystack; there’s no use in looking for some feather statue on a street lined with them when you could save yourself some time by reading the text to find the specific object you’re looking for.
Read the Collectible’s text, head to the location and search around for details that’ll lead you to the Collectible you see. If all else fails, pull out your phone and have a look around with your camera, as Collectibles will be surrounded by red lines if they’re within range, unobscured and the angle’s not too far off. You might have to make further adjustments, but at least you can confirm you’ve found what you’re looking for. Once you’ve located the Collectible, you’ll need to snap a photo of it with your phone, and just like with Fast Travel Photos and [Photo Hunts], you may need to fuss with your positioning to ensure you get a valid picture. When the lines surrounding the Collectible turn green, you’re good to go.
Through the magic of “don’t think about it too much”, once you’ve taken a photo of a Collectible you’ll be able to return to The Church and set up the Collectible on one of the numerous designated Collectible display sites. You’ll have to acquire a total of 85 Collectibles for the Achievement [The Collector], so get searching!
