Version History
---------------
Version 1.15 - 10/13/09 - 10/16/09
--Greetings! I began working on the basic stuff for this guide a while ago (a
basic outline, title, and the outlining info, etc), but the actual walkthrough
began here. This is the first completed version. Got a lot to work on and fix
up, etc. Hopefully this is a good start though.
Version 1.25 - 10/19/09
--First update. I made it a goal to try and handle the treasures first and so
I've added a lot more to the walkthrough and I'm hoping to find most of if not
all of the remaining ones next. I added the Trophies section and also added a
little more here and there, made a bunch of fixes and removed a few typos.
Version 1.30 - 10/20/09
--Small update. Mostly a few fixes here and there, not the least of which was
the dates in the version history--doh! More importantly however, added even
more treasures to the walkthrough, a tiny bit more to Basics and that's about
it for now.
Version 1.35 - 10/21/09
--Added more treasures, quite a few thanks to helpful readers. Now there's only
three treasures left to add! Other than that, I made a tiny update to Basics,
and made a fix here or there to the walkthrough.
Version 1.40 - 10/23/09
--In this update, all of the treasures have been added! Huzzah! My thanks to
those who made this possible with your e-mails and such. That is the high point
of this update, unfortunately. Not much else besides a few minor information
updates, fixes, and a new FAQ question added.
Version 1.50 - 10/28/09
--Been busy with college. Blah. In any case, I managed to finally get time
enough to do an update. I finally added the Medals sub-section. I also added a
totally brand new sub-section in the Extras section. This sub-section covers
the multiplayer co-op briefly. There was also a very solid strategy added for
Chapter 26 on Crushing, provided by a reader. Minor fixes, changes, etc. make
up the remainder of the update.
Version 1.55 - 11/4/09
--Added the rest of the medals. I'm hoping to expand on that section a little
bit in the future. Also added more to the co-op multiplayer section. I might
expand on multiplayer in general and make that it's own section. A couple fixes
and that's it.
Version 1.60 - 11/9/09
--Just added a little more to the co-op section which includes a few tips
submitted to me. I got just a little more to work on before I'm pretty much
done with this guide for a while.

Welcome to this guide for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, the highly anticipated
sequel to Naughty Dog's first foray into the next-gen scene. Uncharted 2 looks
to expand and perfect everything in what was already an extremely solid and
satisfying game. If you've come here for help of any kind, then I welcome you,
friend. Hopefully you enjoy your stay (take off your shoes, please--just
kidding) and try to have fun, because that's what it's all about, right?
[About This Guide]
I recently wrote a guide for the original Uncharted, as it was a very good and
enjoyable game and it was also lacking in guides. There, I remarked about
getting the sequel and look at that, here we are! This is quite possibly my
second to last planned guide for 2009, but there is still a good chance that
I will squeeze something in between now and whatever is next or after. Who
knows. In this guide, I decided to stay with a familiar format to the Uncharted
guide, but I made several changes and improvements I hope.
[Using This Guide]
If this is your first time reading an FAQ, then let me refer you back up to the
top where the Table of Contents are. See those little codes at the end of the
ellipses (....) there? Those are quickjumps you can enter into the ctrl+f
function of your web browser to quickly jump (hence the name) to a certain
section of this guide without having to scroll. You can also use it to search
for relevant keywords which is also useful.
Should you have any questions, concerns, comments, or something to bring to my
attention, I beg you to first read Frequently Asked Questions section for any
possible questions, and the Contact Info section for my rules on submitting me
information. Those sections can be found near the end of the guide.
