Tips for the Archery Mini-Game

Get close to the target

The Last of Us Part II Close to the Target

In the Archery mini-game, there are no restrictions on where you can shoot the arrow, so get close to the target so you can hit it reliably. Also, the target will fall regardless of which part you hit, so there's no need to aim for the center red area.

Shoot when the reticle is on target

The Last of Us Part II Bow Aim

Aiming the bow is difficult due to hand tremors. Therefore, when aiming for a distant target, make sure the reticle is on target before shooting. Arrows tend to drop more compared to Ellie's bow, so when aiming far, aim slightly above the target.

Retry with Restart

The Last of Us Part II Restart

If the timer finishes, you can retry the mini-game by selecting "Restart" from the options. If you open the door on the second floor and progress the story, you won't be able to restart. Instead, you can replay it from the chapter selection.

The Last of Us 2 Archery Location

The Archery Mini-Game can be played in the Winter Visit during Seattle Day 1 (Abby). After the cutscene, move forward and examine the bow leaning against the wall to start the Archery Mini-Game.

Archery Mini-Game Rules

Knock down targets within the time limit

The Last of Us 2 Archery Score

The goal of the Archery Mini-Game is to shoot as many targets as possible with the bow within a time limit of approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds. There are a total of 13 targets, and if you knock down 10 or more targets, you can win against Owen.

Controls are the same as using the bow

The controls are the same as when controlling Ellie with the bow. Be careful of releasing an arrow too early, as it will affect the distance of your shots.
