Joel's House
The Last of Us™ Part I guide · The outbreak begins in Austin, Texas
← All areas in this guide
Playing as Sarah, you wake up in Joel's bedroom during the initial outbreak in Austin, Texas. You must walk downstairs, inspect the environment, and reach Joel's office where an infected neighbor attacks, leading Joel and Tommy to burst in and initiate your escape by truck.
Don't miss 0/3
Enemies
Jimmy Cooper (Infected)
Scripted encounter in the office; Joel intervenes and kills him with a revolver, so you cannot fight him directly.
Tips
- Take time to explore Joel's bedroom and bathroom right at the start to collect optional items, as you cannot re-enter the upper floor once you head downstairs.
Not listed for this area: secrets, shops and people.
