Uncharted 4 Gift of the Gab Trophy Guide – How to Have Every Conversation
One major new addition to Uncharted 4 is the ability for the player to engage in entirely optional little bits of narrative by participating in conversations with their partners and allies mid-level. These conversations also act as something of a collectable – they're not all obvious to trigger, and ultimately lead to a trophy, ‘Gift of the Gab'.
In this guide we'll take you through, chapter by chapter, explaining where every conversation is so you don't miss any. We'll try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible, but keep in mind we'll be mentioning what characters are in what chapters as a matter of necessity, so there may be slight spoilers in that regard – if that bugs you, turn back! You've been warned.
Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2
These chapters are straightforward story affairs, and don't contain any conversations. Don't worry, you haven't missed anything – so just enjoy the ride!
Chapter 3 – The Malaysia Job
‘My Man', Salvage Worker
Head up the stairs right in front of you when you arrive on the ship and this guy will yell out ‘My man!' Go over and talk with him.
Insulting a different Salvage Worker's Mother
Head back down the stairs from the first conversation to the loot you just helped salvage. Smack talk with this guy and insult his mother. That's it for this chapter!
Chapter 4, 5
These chapters are linear story-only affairs, so you're not missing any conversations.
Chapter 6 – Once a Thief…
The Things You Miss
Right after you encounter the guards for the first time while hanging from a ledge, Sam will begin to reminisce about his time in prison. Immediately afterwards you'll be able to trigger a little conversation with him.
Nate's Other Adventures
After rappelling down from a window with the grappling hook, Nate and Sam walk through some stone arches. While working through these, Sam will ask Nate about his other adventures. Quickly speak to him before the window passes to reply.
Exit Strategy
After the cutscene where you meet up with Sully, push past the people in front of you then hook a sharp right onto the balcony. Out there, Sam will be fretting about the escape plan, and Nate will reassure him… sort of.
Chapter 8 – The Grave of Henry Avery
Avery's Obsessions
After examining the three cross display in the crypt, Sam will make an off-the-cuff mark you can then respond to as soon as you've made your journal note. If you walk away, you'll miss this.
Examining the Wall
As soon as you've completed the puzzle in the same room as the previous scene, Sam will run up to the newly lit up door. An icon will appear above his head; talk to him. If you rush to the door first, or take too long, you'll miss this interaction.
Chapter 9 – Those Who Prove Worthy
The Crazy View
When you exit the puzzle room with the three crosses, turn left. Sam will follow and you'll walk to a ledge that leads nowhere. Doing this will trigger some dialogue as the pair admire the view, and then another conversation trigger you can hit right after.
