Over the course of The Last of Us Part 2’s story you’ll have the chance to upgrade Ellie using supplements scavenged from the ruined world you pass through. You’ll begin with a couple of upgrade trees to work down, but to unlock any more you’ll need to collect training manuals from each area. To give you an idea of the skills available during the game, and the supplement cost they’ll set you back, we’ve put together a list of all upgrade skill trees in The Last of Us Part 2.
