Last update: 27 January 2022
This page of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has a walkthrough of chapter 4 - A Normal Life. You will learn, e.g. what you can do at Drakes' house, how to talk to Elena, and how to finish the first game of Crash Bandicoot.
Exploration of the house and conversation with Elena
This is a short chapter that almost entirely takes place in the Drake's house. Start off by looking through the notes received from Jameson in the previous chapter. After you've read through them you can explore the attic of the house - there are numerous artifacts collected during the previous adventures of the protagonist that you can examine there. Finally, at the end of the hallway you will find a functional toy gun. You should find four targets in the attic and shot them with your toy gun (see chapter devoted to trophies). This will unlock one of the trophies.
After a short while Nate will be summoned by Elena. Leave the attic by rising the hatch in the floor. If you want to you can first search through the first floor of the building where you can find a camera, as well as a photo album. Get back to the ground floor and head to the kitchen. You can either search the fridge first, or ignore it and take the food from the table and sit next to Elena. After the cut-scene you need to recall what was the Elena article about. Regardless of your choice the following action will take the same turn.
Crash Bandicoot - first try
Time for the most interesting part of this chapter - you will be able to play the classic version of the Crash Bandicoot. Controls are somewhat confusing, as you will be using the D-pad to move around with the character instead of the left analog stick. The X button is used to jump, whereas Circle and Square to perform the basic attack. Destroy boxes and collect apples as you move around in the game. If you want to you can try to reach the end of the in-game chapter (Crash has three lives), but even if you deplete all of them (to prevent that jump across the holes and don't let the boulder catch up to you) nothing bad will happen.
Remember - don't try to beat Elena's score (3500), because it is not possible at the moment. You will have a chance to play one more time later on in the game, and then you can try to set a new score (and unlock a trophy).
After watching an important cut-scene with Sam you can decide about the adventure of the past you want to tell him about, although this choice has no impact on the future events as well. You will soon end this chapter and advance to the next one.
