Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Resonance Points Guide — All Locations & Missable Warning
Last verified: 2026-09-10 · Game version: Launch
Resonance Points are the most easily missable collectible in the game — unlike Blades, Charms, and Artefacts, you cannot mop them up after finishing the story.
The three key numbers
| Total | Required | Buffer |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | 165 | 35 (safe to miss 35) |
In short: collect at least 165 points in a single playthrough. You can't farm them later — replaying a chapter resets your total instead of adding to it — and you can never come back for them via Chapter Select. The 35-point buffer means missing a few is fine.
Why can't you get them later?
Chapter Select does not carry over Resonance Points:
- Replaying an older chapter resets your total to what you had when you left that chapter — later progress is lost
- After dying, points collected since the last checkpoint are lost and must be re-collected
- The Chapter Select screen has no point tracker; only the Artefacts menu (bottom-left) shows your running total
So Resonance Points must be collected as you play, in one playthrough.
Per-chapter totals (running)
| Chapter | Points | Running Total | Miss Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ch1 Blood Ties | 0 | 0 | None |
| Ch2 Felons | 5 | 5 | Medium |
| Ch3 Those Before Us | 9 | 14 | Medium |
| Ch4 From Hell It Rose | 17 | 31 | High |
| Ch5 Desolation It Wrought | 29 | 60 | Very High |
| Ch6 What Lies Beneath | 22 | 82 | High |
| Ch7 Death It Sowed | 22 | 104 | High |
| Ch8 Resonance | 0 | 104 | None |
| Ch9 Night Has Come | 25 | 129 | High |
| Ch10 Parallel Paths | 25 | 154 | High |
| Ch11 Patera | 23 | 177 | High |
| Ch12 Fading Light | 8 | 185 | Medium |
| Ch13 As One | 8 | 193 | Medium |
| Ch14 What Remains | 0 | 193 | None |
Note: the per-chapter counts sum to about 193; the official figure is 200 (some combat-reward points are counted differently). Both are well above the 165 you need.
Ch5 (29), Ch9 (25), Ch10 (25), and Ch11 (23) are the densest chapters — search these most carefully.
Best strategy
- First playthrough: grab every point you see; get 1 kill with each new blade (Adaptable achievement)
- Combat-reward points are automatic — don't miss them
- After dying, re-collect that section's points before pushing on
- Before the credits, confirm 165+ points in the Artefacts menu
