The Last of Us: All Shiv Doors Location

The Last of Us was the most ambitious game Naughty Dog had worked on during the time of its release in 2013 and received both critical and commercial success, making it one of the best-reviewed games of all time and a beloved title amongst the fans.

Although The Last of Us is a tight, linear experience, it does give the player enough room to play and encourages the player to explore and discover the many secrets in the game.

One of the many secrets that were also extremely useful in the Last of Us was the secret doors that could be opened by using Shivs.

Shivs were essentially small, make-shift knives that you could Craft from the Crafting Menu or find in the game world. These doors would unlock rooms that had valuable ammo and Crafting Supplies that are extremely useful for survival.

As resources are very scarce in The Last of Us, unlocking these doors is essential to be well-prepared for a conflict with Infected or Human survivors.
