Dead as Disco Collectibles Guide

Dead as Disco is more than just a rhythm and action game; it’s a sprawling experience where exploration rewards you with unique items. Collecting all Memorabilia adds a deeper layer of engagement, letting players personalize the Encore hub with pieces drawn from the story and challenges. Tracking down these collectibles feels rewarding, especially when some hide in plain sight or behind gameplay milestones.

This Dead as Disco Collectibles guide shows the location of all the collectibles currently available in the game, including Furniture, Decor, Posters, Polaroids, and Deals (Shards). I have written the unlock requirement and the exact place to find it under each entry, so you won’t have to search every corner of a level.

Note: These collectibles can’t be missed even if you have played that level earlier. You can always replay the level and collect the items anytime in the game.

Memorabilia are exclusive collectibles scattered throughout the game world, primarily used to decorate your central hub, the Encore . While they don’t influence combat or gameplay mechanics, these items enrich the game’s atmosphere and narrative by adding character through visual cues and lore-focused adornments.

Memorabilia are collectible items that decorate the Encore. While they don’t provide gameplay bonuses, they allow you to customize the hub area and add extra lore through certain characters and objects.

Unlocking Memorabilia involves diverse activities across different game layers, including:

• Unearthing hidden items during story progression.
• Completing character side quests which provide special unlocks.
• Finishing entire chapters of the story on various difficulties.
• Achieving milestones in challenges and gameplay objectives.
• Reaching specific achievement thresholds.

You’ll notice many hidden items emit a brief orange glow, guiding your attention to their location.

• Find hidden collectibles during story levels.
• Complete character side quests.
• Finish story chapters.
• Earn challenge rewards.
• Reach gameplay milestones.

Most hidden collectibles briefly glow with an orange light, which makes them easier to spot.

Below is a thoughtfully organized list of all known collectibles in Dead as Disco, categorized primarily by Furniture, Heart pieces, and Posters. Each entry notes the unlock conditions and exact in-game placement to streamline the search so you’re not scouring every pixel of the level.
