The Dark Descent - Archives - 15 Collectibles You can use tinderboxes in The Dark Descent and still get the Illuminatus trophy but since the only in-game way to count them is to count all the ones you have, without including any you've used, I wouldn't recommend it. You need to collect all the tinderboxes and notes in a single game file. The only tinderboxes required for Illuminatus are in The Dark Descent.

Laudanum, oil, memory capsules, inventory items, phonographs and tinderboxes do not count towards this trophy. The only collectibles required for Master Archivist are the Notes you find, resembling torn pages. You can usually access quite a few areas prior to your most recent, so be vigilant. If you do enter a new area and realise you've missed something, you can quit and load a previous autosave from the main menu. I know how annoying it is to go through a game missing one thing somewhere, so try and avoid it. I've noted the areas where you might find some collectibles to become inaccessible but, again take your time. To avoid this locking you out of any collectibles, make sure you've got all of them before moving through any doors which cause the reticule to change before you interact with them - these are the doors to new areas. All three games feature several doors which close off areas after you've passed through them.
