There are ten hidden collectibles in Watch Dogs 2 that can earn you a pretty cool reward (if you like tacky things). The ten items are garden gnomes, but these aren’t like the ones you see all over San Francisco while out exploring. You’re looking for ten with green hats and they’re very well hidden.
You can go grab them in whatever you want after you’ve started the secret Gnome Quest. I’ll be sharing them in the order I found them, but feel free to tackle them however you like.
Gnome 1:
You’ll have to head around to the back of the buildings marked on the map. Make your way up the stairs and you’ll find some gnomes hanging out in a Jacuzzi. Grab the green one and get out of there.
Gnome 2
This one is well hidden, but we got lucky. Head to the point on the map and you’ll be able to climb a small building. Turn the corner and you’ll find this odd scene waiting for you.
Gnome 3
Head to spot on the map and enter find a place to sit down and call your jumper. The Gnome is in a small shed in a restricted area. Just drive right in and snatch it up, just be sure to beware of the dog lurking around.
Gnome 4
The gnome is in a garden behind the building marked on the map. Just take the stairs behind the building all the way up and you’ll find it congregating with some regular gnomes.
Gnome 5
The easiest one to find out of them all. Simply fast travel to the Pawn Shop I marked on the map for you and it’s sitting on a shelf to your right when you walk in.
Gnome 6
You’ll have to climb another roof for this one. There’s a Climbax to the East of the building you can use. Just drive it over and lift yourself up.
Gnome 7
The hardest Gnome for me to find was this one. Mostly because it’s hidden behind large bushes on top of a building. Head to the roof of the Transbay Center and use your Jumper to enter the large square bush in the center. There’s a red sculpture nearby to let you know you’re in the right place.
Gnome 8
Head to the spot on the map. You’ll have to fight through a restricted area that only has like three guards. Once done, you’ll come across some tents with a bathtub nearby. Grab the gnome.
Gnome 9
The point on the map shows you the easiest entry point to grab the next gnome. I actually took the long way when I collected it, which involves a lot of running and fighting a few guards. Just take a boat to this point and drive through. You’ll notice two parked boats to your right with a ladder behind them. The gnome is up the ladder.
Gnome 10
On the roof of the building marked on the map, you’ll find a hackable area that you’ll need your Jumper to navigate. The gnome is inside.
Once you have all 10 of the gnomes you’re ready to complete your quest. Congratulations!
