Unlike other Uncharted games, treasures in Golden Abyss are grouped into treasure, mystery and bounty sets, and completing those sets is what earns trophies. Each set is described in its own individual article.

Treasure SetsEdit

Treasures are all found amongst the environment as glinting objects.

• Turquoise Glyphs are found in Chapters 1-19 of the game.
• Jade Carvings are found in Chapters 20-27 of the game.
• Minor Deities.
• The Menagerie.

MysteriesEdit

Mystery items are found as a mixture of treasures (as described above), photographs, charcoal rubbings and documents that need to be assembled.

• Secrets of the Kuna
• Odessa Mining Company
• The Conquistadors
• Proof of Life
• Poisoned Powder
• The Revolution
• The Friar's Pilgrimage
• The Sete Cidades
• The Circle of Heaven
• The Ring of Earth
• The Trail of Vincent Perez
• The Lost Civilisation

BountiesEdit

Bounties are collected by killing enemies, and are acquired automatically upon the moment of the enemy's death. They can also be acquired using the Black Market, which uses the PSVita's Near application to trade bounties with friends or nearby PSVita users.
