One of these landmarks is a cute pet store aptly named Barkos, which has a locked door, preventing Ellie and Dina from entering inside. Players will need to find a key for this locked pet store, as there are several goodies that they can get from inside. Here's how to find the Barkos key.

Where to Find the Key to Barkos Pet Store in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered

To find the key for Barkos' pet store and unlock it, players need to find its key in one of the nearby landmarks in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. The key to Barkos can be found in the Ruston Coffee Shop, located north of the pet store, at the end of the map.

Getting the Key from Ruston Coffee Shop

Simply hop onto your horse with Dina and move across the alleyway connecting the Pet Shop and head right. You'll come across the Courthouse. You'll need to go around the Courthouse and to the other side, where you'll spot the Ruston Coffee Shop board. Dismount your horse and head inside. There are several lootable items in the main area, including a trading card in the drawers to the left.

Head further inside the shop and into the bathroom, where Ellie will be attacked by an Infected. Quickly eliminate the enemy, and keep it away from Dina at all costs. Once the enemy has been dealt with, look to the sink at the right to grab a key with a Barkos tag on it. Now you can finally open up the Barkos Pet store and explore inside.

Unlocking Barkos Pet Store

There are several important resources that players can find inside the Barkos pet store in The Last of Us 2 Remastered. Some of the resources include supplements, ammo, and crafting materials. Once you're done exploring inside, step out and either progress through the main story or explore other landmarks in Seattle.
