Capturing every optional photo in Life Is Strange Episode 3: Chaos Theory allows players to unlock achievements while documenting Max Caulfield's journey through story events. Finding all ten collectibles requires using rewind mechanics and interacting with key environmental objects across campus and town locations. Following a systematic approach ensures no photograph opportunity is missed during this crucial chapter.
Blackwell Campus and Science Classroom Photos
The first photo collectible is located inside Victoria's room, where players must illuminate an action figure statue using their light source before snapping the picture. Moving outside to the campus grounds, players will spot a squirrel on a bench that flees upon approach, requiring a quick time rewind to capture the shot. Inside the science lab, two separate photos are available by turning on the aquarium light and photographing the skeleton figure in the back.
Principal Office and Chloe's House Collectibles
While exploring the principal's office, players can take a picture of Chloe sitting comfortably in the main desk chair. After changing clothes at Chloe's house, head into the upstairs bathroom to snap a reflection photo in the mirror. Downstairs, players can interact with a bird resting on a cabinet, shooing it toward the window to photograph it safely outdoors.
Diner Grounds and Alternate Reality Pictures
Near the Two Whales Diner, speak to the truck driver and rewind the conversation to ask about his truck, unlocking the option to photograph his vehicle. Around the side alleyway of the diner, players will find a distinct pattern of ants surrounding a dead bird that serves as the ninth photo. The final photo of the episode is taken during the alternate timeline scene by picking up the camera on the kitchen counter to take a picture of Chloe and her father.
