One of the collectibles in the first Hellblade was Hidden Faces which were embedded within cliffs and rocks in the environment. In that first game, they didn’t give you any achievements or anything beyond a few interesting audio logs. However, finding the Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Hidden Faces locations is much more valuable, as it does give you an achievement, and the stories behind each hidden tree are far more in-depth.

Below, you can find an in-depth guide on each Hidden Face location, with images to show you where you should look to find them – as they can be pretty hard to see.
‘Senua’s Saga Hellblade 2’ Hidden Faces locations
There are 17 Hidden Faces scattered throughout the game for you to find:
Hidden Face 1 location – Chapter 2, Inner Village
In chapter 2, you will eventually reach the inner part of the village. This is after you solve the rune puzzle and the sky turns dark. Just ahead, you will make your way through a house. Directly ahead of you, to the left of the large bridge, you can find another smaller house. Tucked behind it, next to the flame, is the face embedded within the rocks.
Focus on the face and all the others below to unlock the paths. You can then do the same on the tree down the newly opened path to hear the story.

Hidden Face 4 location – Chapter 3, Dilapidated Village Far Side
From this face, head across the open field to the exact opposite end. For a reference point, head back to where the field opens up and take a left instead of a right. Follow the crack in the ground, and you will find a face in the rocks on your left as the path curves around to the right.

Hidden Face 15 location – Chapter 5, Shoreline Puzzle
When solving the shoreline rune puzzle, you will need to cross to the second area with the boat in the middle of the stone beach. Make sure it is night by activating the droplet and then head through the gap in the cliff behind the boat. At the end of this path, you can find a lore stone. On your way back through, you can find the face within the enclosed part of the area.

Hidden Face 17 location – Chapter 5, Village Outskirts
The final Lorestangir is located just ahead from the last one. Head forward from the stick with the chimes, and you can head left or right to proceed. Take the left path, and up by the house, you can find the final Lorestangir. But, just ahead is a house, tucked behind that house on the left as you pass its right side is the final Hidden Face.
