This spoiler-free page of the guide to The Last of Us 2 has a list of all the main chapters and stages of the single-player campaign. A look at the list below will help you determine how many levels are in the game and quickly find the stage you are interested in.
It will take you around 25-30 hours to complete the main story campaign of The Last of Us 2. The game is divided into chapters, and these, in turn, were divided into individual stages. Although the action of the game takes place during a period of a few days, in some parts of the game you will experience many flashback scenes. These will take you to the past - a few years earlier before the current events in the game. We have prepared a comprehensive walkthrough of all levels, which includes detailed descriptions of all chapters and stages.

Mission structure
The Last of Us Part II is divided into chapters and stages.
- The chapter has an overarching role and consists of a number of stages. Further acts of the campaign may involve, for example, visiting various places in the main locations, such as Seattle.
- A stage is simply a level / mission and you go through it one at a time. It is worth noting that stages can vary in length - some can be completed in a few minutes; others may require you to spend up to a few dozen minutes or more than 1 hour.
Chapter selection
Yes, The Last of Us 2 contains the option to choose the stage (so-called chapter select). Once you have completed a stage, you can freely repeat it - go to the main menu, select the chapter and then the level you are interested in.
The main motivation for repeating the stages is to find secrets / collectibles you have missed. However, you can also, for example, try to complete a level on a higher difficulty level.
Optional stages
No, all stages in the game are mandatory, i.e. you have to complete each of them to finish the game. Many stages, however, offer optional exploration - for example, you can search the buildings you pass along the way for collectibles or loot. However, you don't have to focus on the additional exploration to complete the campaign.
Choices and endings
No, The Last of Us Part II is a production with a linear story. You can't make any decisions during the game and the story presented has only one ending. This works in the same way as in the first TLoU.
