Life Is Strange Before The Storm replaces the photography mechanic of the original game with Chloe Price's signature graffiti tags. Finding every optional tag throughout Arcadia Bay allows players to fully explore Chloe's rebellious personality while completing the game's achievement list. Finding all locations requires careful observation during pivotal narrative scenes across all three main episodes.
Finding Graffiti Locations in Episode One
The first episode introduces players to Chloe's marker skills in several distinct settings, starting at the Old Mill concert venue. Players can tag the exterior of the RV, a poster inside the venue, and the bar counter during the opening sequence. Moving to the junkyard and Blackwell Academy provides further opportunities to tag spots like the drama room prop box and the school statue.
Each successful drawing unlocks specific trophies and achievements tied directly to Chloe's personal reflections. Exploring optional dialogue choices and inspecting interactable objects often reveals hidden surfaces that are otherwise easy to miss. Thoroughly searching every corner before progressing the story ensures no opportunity is overlooked.
Locating Graffiti Spots in Episode Two
In the second episode, graffiti locations become slightly more complex, often requiring environmental puzzles or specific interactions. Players must interact with items in the principal's office, the junkyard cabin, and the hospital waiting room to enable the prompt. For instance, moving a poster or inspecting a broken item reveals a fresh surface for Chloe's artwork.
Taking time to examine the surroundings carefully highlights Chloe's unique perspective on her hometown and relationships. These artistic additions serve as narrative milestones, giving deeper insight into her inner turmoil and emotional growth. Unlocking every tag in this chapter brings players closer to full completion.
Uncovering Final Tags in Episode Three
The final episode features some of the most emotional and subtle graffiti spots in the entire adventure. Key locations include Chloe's room, Rachel's house, and the hospital room, where specific items must be manipulated first. Players should pay close attention to personal items, such as dynamic wall maps or photo frames, to trigger the tagging option.
Completing these remaining drawings provides a satisfying sense of closure to Chloe's prequel story line. Each completed piece adds to the overarching collection, celebrating her artistic expression amidst chaotic events. Reaching the end of the list grants the final set of achievements for dedicated completionists.
Rewards and Achievements for Full Completion
Unlike gameplay systems with tangible stat boosts, the rewards for tagging in Before The Storm are achievements, trophies, and complete journal entries. Tagging all ten spots in an episode awards individual achievement badges on your gaming platform of choice. Collecting all thirty tags across the campaign unlocks the ultimate completionist trophy for total mastery.
Beyond digital trophies, filling Chloe's journal with creative graffiti provides a personal visual record of her journey. It rewards attentive players with custom dialogue lines and unique artwork tailored to chosen choices. This collectible system enriches the emotional resonance of the story while incentivizing thorough exploration.
