- One way only
- The most common locked door type you will come across is one that is only unlocked from the other side. These are used to force players down certain paths. Simply head in another available direction and you will likely end up circling around and unlocking the troublesome door from the other side.
- Climbing
- Some doors can be bypassed by climbing through windows that are nearby. If you are struggling to open a locked door, look up and around for any small windows or vents that you can squeeze through. Remember to use throwables like bricks and bottles to break windows that you can then climb through.
- Swinging
- Though rare, some locked doors can be swung around. If you’re above ground level, look for ropes that you can swing on. These can sometimes be outside of windows, which you may need to smash. Jumping out of a window, swinging around, and then landing on the other side of the door is potentially an option.
If you find yourself permanently stumped by a locked door in The Last of Us 2, don’t worry too much as the game allows you to go back and select chapters to re-explore. This means that any missed collectibles can be found later.
