While Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice had dozens of Lorestones to seek out as the game’s only collectible, Senua's Sage: Hellblade 2 actually has two types Lorestangirs and “Faces” - as referred to in the chapter select list.
These hidden faces can be found as early as chapter 2, after you pass through the first Rune door in the settlement that’s supposedly overrun by Draugar. These collectibles come in the form of carved out rock faces that when you use Senua’s Focus on them (RT), they’ll disappear, unveiling a new path. And by rock faces, we mean literally that: carvings of faces made in stone.
There are 17 faces in Hellblade 2 to collect, which will not only net you the Glimpse of the Gods achievement(for 100 Gamerscore), but each path will lead to a tree to bring back to life, where you’ll be able to hear one of 17 Landdisasteinar Stories.
Below you’ll find the location of all 17 hidden faces in Hellblade 2, separated into where they are and in which chapter (we’ve also put the sub-chapter if you happen to be looking for a specific one, and want to load up that sub-chapter in chapter select, post-game).
After the flashback scene, you’ll enter the next part of the village. Before heading over the large bridge towards the light, your first hidden face is to the left, by the house. (Chapter 2 - Return Home).
To the left of the broken bridge, after saving the stranger and dawn breaking. Follow it to the end and Focus to reveal the tree (Chapter 2 - Freyslaug - Meeting the Stranger).
Chapter 3 Faces Locations (5)
The first path you walk down, when it opens up, head left, past the ruined house, into the far corner. There you’ll find this stone face (Chapter 3 - Raudholar - On the Hill).
The first path you walk down, when it opens up, head right and right again and follow it to the dead end. At the end, on the left, is this stone face (Chapter 3 - Raudholar - On the Hill).
On your way out of Fargrimr’s settlement, before you drop down a white ledge, on that path on the left is a hidden stone head. Focus on it and the tree is behind it on the left (Chapter 3 - Raudholar - On the Hill).
After solving the puzzle with the orbs to open up the blocked path, on the right is a head you can Focus on, with a tree behind it (Chapter 3 - Raudholar - On the Hill).
After solving the second orb puzzle, and then dropping down two ledges. Before the water, on the right, climb up to the top, where you’ll find a large rock skull (and the tree) (Chapter 3 - Raudholar - On the Hill).
Chapter 4 Faces Locations (4)
When you get into the actual caves and have to drop down, head forward and to the left into the crawlspace. The face in the wall is on the left-hand side of the next chamber - (Chapter 4 - Huldufolk - Into the Caves).
When you drop the dust onto the blue flame to clear the way through to the next area (first time you distinguish a flame and not light it), turn around and there’s a hidden face in the wall with this tree behind it (Chapter 4 - Huldufolk - Into the Caves).
When you drop down into the water, do a 180 and head into the dead end. Use the Focus ability on the wall (which doesn’t really look like a stone head at first glance), but there is a tree behind it (Chapter 4 - Huldufolk - Into the Caves).
After giving away your sword and following the light through the dark, as soon as you come out into safety, there’s a face in the stone wall on your left (to the right is where you need to go for the main objective) (Chapter 4 - Huldufolk - Act of Sacrifice).
Chapter 5 Faces Locations (6)
When you reach the next act - with Thorgestr and Fargrimr - you’ll walk through a peaceful mountain path. When you reach the small stream (not the main river with the cutscene), the stone face is underneath the waterfall (Chapter 5 - Bardarvik - To the Sea).
When you’re with Astridr you’ll have to squeeze through a gap. Before you do, there’s a stone head on the right side of the pathway (Chapter 5 - Bardarvik - Sjavarrisi).
After the first Rune door (after the battle with the Draugar), head to the right down a path after you’ve passed through the door. The hidden stone face and tree are that way (Chapter 5 - Bardarvik - Another Question).
When solving the Rune door puzzle on the beach, when you’re in the second area of the beach, go between the rocks where the blue haze is, and the stone face is down there on the right (Chapter 5 - Bardarvik - Another Question).
After coming out of the ocean into the village, a little way in (before you head up), there’s a path on the right that leads to a dead end. Down there, on the right, will be the penultimate hidden face. Use Focus and the tree is at the end of that path (Chapter 5 - Bardarvik - Another Question).
After coming out of the ocean into the village, a little way in you’ll come to a crossroads of sorts - there’ll be a small house with a lantern at the far end of the village. Up and to the right is the correct way deeper into the village and to the objective. Left and round the back is where to find the last hidden rock face - behind the second house (to the left) (Chapter 5 - Bardarvik - Another Question).
