Whether you're the kind of player who leaves no stone unturned, or just want to find whatever you missed on a second playthrough, you'll have to go out of your way to find several of these hidden items. There are even Achievements or Trophies waiting for you if you find them all!

The Data Logs in Chapter One establish the current state of affairs on board the Artemis, and help you discover the fate of the Urshanabi.

Once you're done speaking to Khan at the cockpit, examine the Command Console. When you're finished, you'll be able to download the Artemis diagnostics from the panel to your left, opposite the gunnery station.

When you climb the ladder down to the crew deck on board the Artemis, the Airlock Log is immediately to your right.

Immediately after speaking to Arlen and Rayen for the first time, turn around and inspect the fridge to access its log.

Be sure to stop by the Med Bay and talk to Virgil before you leave the Crew Deck. You'll get a quest to recover a focus crystal (see below).

In the first room of the Urshanabi, walk to the far side of the floating heads, either by going around or straight through. You can scan the ship's computer from the wall panel there.

Standing in front of the door with the fingerprint scanner leading to the officers' quarters, go to the left and analyze the panel in the hallway.

There are several pieces of lootable salvage on the Urshanabi wreck. The most important is the laser crystal, which Virgil needs to repair the Artemis' auto-doc.

The arrows on Drummer's backpack light up as you find salvage - you can use this to keep track of how many items you have left to find in the chapter!

When you leave the room with the heads, walk straight ahead. The Quantum Processor can be collected on the right, just before you exit to the next corridor.

Cut the panel from the wall during the zero-g movement tutorial. The glowing green cables will lead you straight to it.

The starting point of the zero-gravity exploration area is marked with a green beacon.

Float directly across from the green beacon to the upper half of the Urshanabi's officer deck. You'll find the Water Recycler just over the first ledge.

You can also reach this area from the other end; when you find the corpse with the audio recorder, follow the corridor.

From the green beacon, go down and to the right. You'll see two pieces of debris; the near one has an exercise bike, and the far one has a collectible machine in the center of a square panel.

If you accepted the quest from Virgil to find a new laser crystal, start at the green beacon and look for a red beacon above and behind you, at the top of the largest section of wreckage. Open the panel at the end of the corridor to get the crystal inside.

Float around to the left side of the officer deck (the wreckage directly across from the green beacon) and look for a large red tank. Remove the panel on the side of the tank to collect the fuel, then listen for a message from Maya.

In the Urshanabi's crew quarters, look in the room on the right with the letter and the directed energy gun. A panel on the ceiling can be cut away with your blowtorch if you float up to it, revealing a hidden piece of salvage.

Inside the officers' quarters, enter the right-hand room and open the drawer. When the cigar floats upward, walk along the wall or float over to it and collect it.
