Life is Strange: Reunion - All Optional Evidence Locations

DeckNine wasn't kidding with that prompt in the earlier chapters of Life is Strange: Reunion; you really have to look everywhere you can for evidence correlating to the two mystery cases that Chloe and Max are tracking down throughout the game.

While you do manage to dig up all the main juicy info, you'll likely miss a clue or two in your search, just because you happened not to check a specific environment interaction. There's also a hidden trophy/achievement for finding all the optional evidence in a single playthrough, so there's an extreme likelihood that you'll end up missing this if you're going for the 100% completion.

Thankfully, you don't need to worry about missing any because, with the guide I've prepared today, I'll be walking you through each of the optional pieces of evidence that you need to collect in Life is Strange: Reunion, as well as anything additional that may warrant an inspection when exploring.

All Optional Evidence Locations

Fire Warning Flyer and Protest Sign

The first two pieces of optional evidence can be found during the Class Act scene, in which Max leads her students through a photography class in the Quad. You can actually get the third evidence here, too, but more on that after this one. As soon as you get control of Max, head to the nearby Caledon Bulletin board here near the stairs to the barred renovation site, as I've shown above.

Inspect the board, and you should be able to examine four different promotional materials here: Amanda's Open Mic Night flyer, a fire warning for Lakeport County, a protest flyer for Abraxas, and Loretta's Abraxacast ad. Make sure to scroll through all of these so that the game ends up counting them, or rather, the ones we need for the evidence, which are the Fire Warning and Protest signs.

Reggie's Notes

Continuing with the Class Act scene, the third optional piece of evidence is Reggie's notes. And I don't even think these need to be pointed out because Max herself will remark on getting a glimpse at them once she's done helping Reggie.

So, once you become a wingman and help Reggie talk to the man he's been crushing on for his photo assignment, head to the nearby table and check both of the pages in Reggie's Notes for the last optional evidence in this scene.

Vox Populi Podcast

During the Open Mic Night scene, after you've attended Amanda's turn on the stage, you'll eventually be able to talk with Lucas at the nearby booth table of the Snapping Turtle Bar. When you're able to butter him up a bit and get him to talk with you, make sure to ask about any new novels he's been working on lately.

You can then catch a glimpse of his Vox Populi podcast cards on the nearby table, which you can grab and listen to. This also counts for the Podcast Overload trophy/achievement in Life is Strange: Reunion.

Fremont Neighborhood Map and Abraxas Inspection Flyer

The next two optional evidence collectibles are located in the brief Fremont Street scene, where Max conducts her little sleuthing at the Abraxas House. Make sure to also grab the snapshot here of the creepy-looking mannequin in the upper window while you're at it.

The first evidence collectible here is in the large trailer truck on the left. Go to the front of the truck to find the passenger seat open; on it, you can find and inspect the Fremont Neighborhood Map.

And the second piece of optional evidence here is the Abraxas Inspection Flyer, sitting on the trunk of a blue car parked on the right side of the area next to a red truck. Just to be extra cautious, be sure to check out the rest of the environmental interactions here as well for more information on the overall demolition and protests regarding the Abraxas society.

Jack Parsons Newspaper Article and Demolition Contract

In the Admin Sleuth scene, once you've finished talking with Vinh in the first instance, you'll then need to make your way to Loretta in the library to conduct any research you can on the secret party at Abraxas.

You can inspect a few different books around here and then get back to Loretta to ask her about the Mabon party. However, make sure to inspect and read the History of the Occult book on the library's side walls. Head back to Loretta and select the Jack Parsons option to unveil an online article that counts as optional evidence.

And lastly, once you're done with Loretta, head back to Vinh to call off the Mabon party. Max will then eventually sneak inside Owen's office. Before you access his computer, search the open drawer next to it for a Demolition Contract, the second optional evidence clue available in this scene.

Fireworks Box

The next optional evidence comes via Chloe during the Times in Turtle scene in Life is Strange: Reunion. This is a pretty simple one; as soon as the scene starts, make your way to the bar counter, and just on the right side, there's a fireworks box that you can ask about from Amanda.

The actual evidence isn't the fireworks but the receipt that you get once you've asked about them. The game won't explicitly inform you of collecting it, so don't worry; it will show up in the evidence room as long as you trigger the aforementioned scenario.

Blueprint

Finally, during the Mabon scene, when you're investigating the basement of the Abraxas House as Chloe, you'll soon discover the hidden room amongst the walls here. As you're exiting the crevice, Chloe will hide from the incoming footsteps, which turns out to be an intruder carrying a sledgehammer.

You'll then be presented with the major choice to 'Distract' or 'Attack' the intruder to save Reggie. You need to choose the attack option that makes Chloe tackle him, briefly knocking him down before escaping. However, this will also cause him to drop a crucial piece of optional evidence that Chloe picks up from the ground here: a blueprint paper.

Obtaining The Major Gumshoe Trophy/Achievement

Once you arrive at the All Available Evidence scene, if you've collected all optional evidence as instructed in the prior scenes, you'll instantly be rewarded with the Major Gumshoe trophy/achievement for successfully obtaining all optional evidence in a single playthrough.
