Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: Walkthrough & Boss Guide

This is a condensed story overview of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End by location, based on Wikipedia's plot summary. It is not a chapter-by-chapter walkthrough: we have not verified a complete chapter list, so chapter numbers are not given. Spoilers follow.

Years before the first game, Nate, Sam and Rafe break into a Panamanian jail to reach the cell of the first mate of the pirate Henry Avery. Nate finds a hollow St. Dismas idol. Rafe kills the warden who helped them, and Sam is shot and presumed dead.

Years later Nate has retired with Elena. Sam reappears, claiming he escaped prison with the drug lord Hector Alcázar, who demands the treasure. Nate lies to Elena about a salvage job and agrees to help.

The brothers and Sully steal a duplicate idol from an illegal auction in Italy. This brings them into conflict with Nadine and Rafe.

The idol's map leads to St. Dismas's cathedral in the Scottish Highlands, which hides a temple with a map pointing to King's Bay, Madagascar.

At King's Bay Nate learns that Avery and ten other pirate captains pooled their treasure, and finds a map to Libertalia. Elena leaves after discovering Nate's deception and Sam's existence.

The Drakes find the abandoned pirate utopia of Libertalia, evidence of a civil war, and a trail to New Devon. Rafe reveals that Alcázar died months earlier and that Sam double-crossed him. When Rafe aims at Nate, Sam shields him and Nate falls off a cliff. Elena rescues Nate. At New Devon they learn that the founders killed the colonists, then were poisoned by Avery and Tew.

Sam chooses to pursue the treasure. Nate finds Avery's ship, where Sam is trapped under rubble by a fire, and finds the skeletons of Avery and Tew, who killed each other over the gold. Nadine, tired of Rafe's obsession, leaves him to die with Nate and Sam. Rafe challenges Nate to a sword fight, and Nate wins by cutting a rope that drops a bundle of treasure onto Rafe. Nate then rescues Sam and escapes by plane with Sully.

Sam and Sully start a new job. Elena buys the salvage company where Nate worked and makes him its owner. Years later, when their teenage daughter Cassie finds relics, Nate tells her the family's story.
