Dead as Disco Complete Collectibles Guide: All Memorabilia Locations

Dead as Disco packs a surprising number of collectibles into its arenas, boss fights, and the Encore hub. These memorabilia items let you decorate the Encore with furniture, wall decor, posters, and polaroids, and several of them add story context you will not find anywhere else. Tracking them all down requires knowing which items need specific idol dialogue completed first, which ones are tucked behind camera-locked boss fights, and which come from grinding milestones. This guide covers every category with exact locations and unlock conditions.

What are memorabilia and how do you find them?

Memorabilia are collectibles used to decorate the Encore. They fall into five categories: Chair Furniture, Heart Decor, Poster Wall Decor, Polaroids, and Deals (also called Shards). Some items are available by default, others appear only after you complete specific idol dialogue, side quests, or challenges, and a handful require hitting gameplay milestones like defeating a set number of enemies.

Most collectibles found in levels look slightly out of place or pulse with an orange glow every few seconds. Boss fight collectibles are trickier because the camera locks onto the boss, so you often have to move blind to grab them.
