Life Is Strange will up your achievements or trophies if you manage to find all the optional photos you can take as Max. Some are pretty hard to find and can be easily missed, so follow this guide to nab 11 achievements/trophies (10 photos and one for getting all of them) within Life Is Strange Episode 4: Dark Room. Need help with Episode 3’s? Head on over here.

This is your spoiler warning!

Ambient

 

The first optional photo is going to be when you’re finally back in Chloe’s house in the original timeline. When you hop off the bed, turn left to look at Chloe and you’ll get the shot of her on the computer with the window in the background.

Time-Lapsed

 

When you go to the basement of Chloe’s house to look for David’s clues, the second optional photo will be found there. Head to where the car used to be located in the garage and you’ll find a corner of boxes and a plank laying over a nest of blue jay eggs. Move the plank that’s blocking your view of the nest and snap the picture. If you don’t want to make a horrifying mistake, reverse time after moving the plank, by the way.

Balance

 

Optional photo number three will be within the school grounds during the day. Move past the football players to find a formation of rocks all stacked up in a very zen-like fashion. Snap a photo of it for this achievement/trophy.

Rangefinder

 

After getting the last photo, stay around the school grounds and find Samuel sitting on a bench. Talk to him and you’re going to have to choose the “animals” option to then get the option to discuss his favorite furry rodents: squirrels. This is the more intricate optional photo as it requires you to do this for him to feed a squirrel. However, you’re not going to just take a photo of that lone one. Go to the food next to Samuel and hit the “lure” option. A new squirrel will pop out and after a little bit, it’ll move close to the other one for the perfect lunch pair photo.

 Gamma Value

 

Optional photo number five is found after you sneak inside the boys’ dorm with Chloe. Walk in and take the first right down the hall to approach the window. Snap the photo through the window of the distance and you’re set.

Dioptic Power

 

After arriving at the beach to visit Frank, walk forward down the small boardwalk and approach the right side where there are many rocks. You’re looking to take a picture of one of the beach whales, and this will require a bit of alignment to get the second one you can walk by. That’ll be optional photo number six.

Fisheye

 

This optional photo will be found when you make your way to the barn with Chloe. Walk around the side of the barn and you’ll see a pretty bird perched on the fence. Hit the shot option on it for this seventh optional photo.

Manually Exposed

 

The eighth optional photo is found when you make your way inside the barn and after you find the padlocked trap door on the floor. Head up the platform by climbing and pulling the generator like you would have to as you’re trying to open that trap door. Once you’re on the second floor of the barn, head to the other end and you’ll find an owl that you can snap a photo of.

Slideshow

 

When you make it to the End of the World Vortex Club party, head to the bathroom found next to the VIP list girl and the bouncer. Once inside, you’re looking for graffiti that can be lined up to look like it’s a part of Justin’s (the skater boy) body. This will be the ninth optional photo.

Tripod

 

Stay at the party and head to the part of the pool with the diving board. Align yourself to be able to see out of the high windows until you see the “photo” option for the two moons outside. Snap the final optional photo in Life Is Strange Episode 4: Dark Room there.
