Overview
Letters and gold items are the two types of goodies to pick up, and finding them all nets you the Postman and Gold Master achievements/trophies, respectively. This guide will take you through each chapter and point out where every pick-me-up can be found. Lass es uns tun!p.s. I just merged those guides from here[www.gamesradar.com] and here[www.primagames.com] and put them on Steam.
Prologue: German Alps
You can find the first Nightmare level after passing through the checkpoint where Blazkowicz makes the “hotdog” joke. Turn around and grab a key from the desk opposite of where Rudi Jäger and his Nazi pal were standing. From here, go down the elevator and outside to the cable car. Don’t get into the car, but turn to your right and use the key on the locked gate. Follow the path until you find a bed. That’s where the Nightmare level is located.
You’ll find the first letter right after climbing the ladder Wesley drops into the lab. Take a right to find it atop a table.
Chapter 01: Prision
Found at the very start of the chapter. Crouch and check the perimeter of your cell to find this inside a little nook.
Just after passing the upper hall filled with Super Soldiers, you’ll use your pipes to climb into a vent. Take a right at the first fork to grab this collectible at the end of the shaft.
Soon after, you’ll learn to break crates using melee attack. Continue down this hall, and in the next one, check behind the red-light cart for another set of gold.
After taking the elevator down, look for this bit of wall you can climb in the next hall. Scale it to find a gold item atop a walkway.
When you reach the cells, you’ll pry open some trap doors to find a sewer system. Check the northwest corner to find a gold item down here.
In the next cell block, you’ll find more gold behind some bars. Head through the nearest kennel entrance to access the cell and pick it up.
You can find this Nightmare level when you drop through a cell floor. The cell you drop through has ticks used to count groups of five on the wall. Once you drop through the floor, hop off the bunk bed and turn to look at it. If you interact with the bottom bunk you’ll trigger the Nightmare level.
After escaping from the giant robo-dog via the air ducts, check this little side cell before dropping to the lower level. You’ll find armour, health, and more gold.
After crossing the water on the eastern side of the map, look for some breakable crates near some steps. Behind these is small passageway you can crawl through. Duck inside to find more gold.
Once you’ve taken out the second Commander, move past the barge power lever to find the last chunk of gold sitting on a bench.
Chapter 02: Docks
When you reach the keep gate, head right to find a switch that opens a nearby water passage. From here, face the broken wire and dive in. Swim straight ahead to spot the gold just a bit deeper in the water.
Yes, although it’s considered #16, this collectible is found next. When you pipe-climb into the eastern wing of the building, check by the centre suit of armour to find it.
You can access the Nightmare after getting out of one boat and then into another. You’ll stop to pull a lever and open a gate. The bed with the Nightmare level is located in the corner of the same platform.
You’ll soon take a boat ride and come upon an area patrolled by two Commanders. After killing the first on the lower level, check in the corner by a rolled-up rug to find this.
Upon leaving the dual-Commander zone, you’ll pass through a locked gate. Leap over the hole on the other side to find more gold cleverly tucked away by a door.
After falling into the catacombs, check around the water level for a passageway blocked by planks. Shoot these away, and you’ll be able to climb onto the ledge there. This small secret area contains more gold.
Continue through the catacombs until you pass through something off a small church (you’ll know it by the cross ornament). Keep going forward, and hang a right at the top of a long staircase. Next to the coffin here is another hunk of gold.
Turn around from the previous collectible and start scaling the planks that lead to the upper part of the room. Carefully follow these to reach a small tunnel that leads to the next gold bar.
When you reach the western wing of the building, look for a storage room containing a large white and blue tarp. Next to this room is a hole in the wall you can crouch and drop through. You’ll find the last gold bar down here.
Chapter 03: Wolfenstein Keep
There’s no gold until you reach the kitchen area. The collectible is found on a table near the middle of the room, so you’ll probably want to clear out the soldiers first.
It’s listed second, but you’ll find it first. Weird, huh? When you reach a red-carpeted hallway with a guard and dog, take the first right to enter a bedroom. Check inside the fireplace for the letter.
In the same room, check the bookcase for a book you can interact with. Doing so moves the bookcase, opening a secret area where you can find the gold among some notes.
When you emerge in the upper area of the atrium, you’ll post this grate you can move and climb through. Contnue past it to the end of the hall, and you’ll find more gold tucked behind a pillar.
Once you crawl through the grate into the library, immediately turn right. The next bookshelf on your right will have a gold bar on a high shelf.
Now, from where you entered, head straight ahead to other side of the library. High on a shelf here is more gold.
There are two exits from the second floor of the library. Between them is this display case holding a key. Grab it and head to the alter on the opposite side of the room. Use the key there to unlock a secret side room, where you’ll find gold on the shelf and a letter on the table.
When you finally exit from the library, hang a right and follow the balcony around. Tucked away back here is another hunk of gold.
The Nightmare can be found after fighting your way through a large dining room and up some stairs. You’ll pass through a hatch and into a dark room with two large chains on the right. Jump over the railing to find the Nightmare below.
After a very intense cut scene, the door in the back of the Anatomical Theatre will be unlocked. Head inside and look for a hatch on the ceiling. Pull this down and climb up into a small area to find the last gold collectible under some pipes.
Chapter 04: Escape!
When you reach the upper level of the cable car station, check the benches nearby. There’s an open suitcase on one side containing gold.
The next chunk of gold is inside the cable car control room. Once you drop in, check the desk near the door to find it.
When you cable car dies, don’t enter the power station. Instead, head around the perimeter to find more gold behind a beam.
After the cable car crashes, you’ll swim to safety in a cave. When you see two enemies walk down a slope and away from you, turn left and head up the same slope. Slide at the end of it to slip into a little alcove holding another hunk of gold.
Once you ride the elevator out of the caverns, check just to the left for a climbable wall. Scale it to find a small cave hiding another gold piece.
After leaping across the broken bridge, you’ll enter a small room. Before heading through the door, check near the cement pillar in the middle of the room for more gold.
After another elevator ride, you’ll find yourself at the checkpoint near where the game started. Check the safe behind the counter to find gold inside.
This Nightmare is available as soon as you enter the tavern. Right after you closed the first door, head up the steps and you’ll find the mattress that leads to the Nightmare level on the floor in the corner.
When you reach the tavern, head up to the top floor before meeting Kessler. There’s one last piece of gold along the walkway up here.
Before boarding the boat at the end of the chapter, grab the letter off the desk near where you enter the cave.
Chapter 05: Wulfburg
At the start of the chapter, you’ll have to take out two Commanders. When you kill the northernmost one, check the end of the pier he patrols to find this.
Soon after, you’ll enter this flooded tower. Ignore the stairs, leap into the water, and dive into the centre of the room to find more gold.
When you cross the bridge at the top of the building, take a right. Follow the hall as it wraps left and look atop these stacked chairs for this chunk of gold.
Before you leave this area, hop onto the rafters near the exit to find another gold piece.
In the middle of the next plaza is a tall rotunda. Climb the ladder to its top floor to find gold in one of the windows.
This Nightmare is found after killing the second Commander and dropping off the roof into the alley. Keep following the alley, turning into an alcove with a truck. The mattress is on the left side.
After you open the gate near Agent Two’s house, you’ll have to crawl through a grate to enter the basement. Before you do, check the nearby boxes for more gold.
When you enter the basement and meet Pippa, check the table to the left. You’ll find a letter atop it and gold to the right.
This is found right after climbing out of the sewer. Before you enter the tavern, hang left around the building to find the last piece of gold near the trash.
The second letter is found while serving Helga. Check atop the dresser by the window to find it.
Chapter 06: Ruins
You’ll find this gold piece early on. Before dropping through the hole in the attic, check nearby for this collectible.
When you come down the steps in the flaming room, you’ll face two Shamblers. Take them out, then check the space to the left of the door to find another gold bar.
As you move through Pippa’s burning house, you’ll reach the room pictured above. Check under the bed for more gold.
Upon returning to the boathouse, you’ll pull Kessler’s boat out from under the dock. The letter is found inside it.
When you exit the boathouse, hang right and jump into the water. Climb the ladder straight ahead to find more gold in a little alcove.
You’ll find the Nightmare level after leaving the boathouse and taking a swim, then climbing up the ladder. When you climb the ladder, follow the dock to the left and then as it curves to the right. You’ll find the Nightmare level tucked away next to a giant wheel.
Though this level may seem familiar, the gate to the north has opened, revealing a new area. Head there and climb the ladder, then make a left around the corner to find gold at the end of the stone walkway.
From the last piece of gold, follow the shoddy dock to the end and look to your right. You’ll see more gold on the curved dock across the way. Hop into the water and climb the ladder to said dock to reach it.
After pipe-climbing out of the canal, take an immediate left. You’ll find more gold by some red drapes.
Now head to other end of this hallway. Check the dresser in the room here for one last piece of gold.
Chapter 07: Old Town
After lowering the bridge near the level starter, hop out of the Laderoboter. Swim underneath the pier to find some gold.
Bust open the next door and exit the Laderoboter again. Turn left and leap across the broken boardwalk here, then follow the path to find some crates in an alleyway. Bust them open – one holds a gold bar.
When you pass the burning car, look to your right to see a lower area. Leap down there to find more gold on the nearby dock.
The next plaza is packed with zombies, but check the little walkway to the east of your objective. On the upper lip of the walkway is another hunk of gold.
To find this Nightmare, take your Laderoboter across the bridge and toward the car. Kill the Nazis and the zombies nearby, then get out and hop over the railing to the right. Swim underwater and through the nearby tunnel. When you surface near the end, climb out of the water and find the mattress that leads to the Nightmare level nearby.
It’s not listed next, but Gold Bar #54 is much easier to grab after #52. Enter the adjacent building and head upstairs. You’ll find this in a box near the window.
Now head inside the building where your objective is. Immediately after entering, turn around and check the table you just crawled over – there’s a letter on it.
Now turn around from the table and the check the second window to your right. There’s gold outside you can grab.
In the next area, you’ll need to find a key to proceed – it’s in the house immediately left of the door you bust through. Check the back of the room by some chairs to find more gold.
The last gold bar is found near the end of the chapter. As you move through the large, fiery building, you’ll have to follow a certain path. Be sure to check the alcove in the west end of the map to find this.
Chapter 08: Dig Site
Near the start of the chapter, the path splits. Take the right path to reach a heavily guarded graveyard. From where you enter, check the tomb on the right to find a gold bar next to a coffin.
This is found down the left path at the chapter start. One of the Commanders hangs out in the barrack next to the tower – check atop the table inside to find the game’s final letter.
Just south of the barrack is an open tomb you can drop into. Follow the path to find more gold inside a little tunnel.
After taking the elevator down, you’ll find yourself opposite another Super Soldier. Check the cabinet to the left of this route to find gold on the bottom shelf.
Now duck into the wooden entryway near the cabinet. In this tunnel is a wall you can pipe-climb. It leads to a Commander, but on the desk next to him, you’ll find another hunk of gold.
Head to the far western end of the Super Soldier’s route to find a small pool of water. Hop in and swim straight down to follow a tunnel into a hidden grotto. There’s another gold bar in the water here.
Through the electrical door is a room with a few soldiers firing at something outside. Head up the stairs to the left of your entrance. Hang a right at the top to find some gold at the end of the hall.
The final Nightmare in the game is in the same room as Gold Bar #62.Just go up the stairs to the left, taking another left toward a broken staircase. Jump into the hole and drop down, then climb through the small opening on your left. You’ll find the bunk that triggers the Nightmare level in that room.
The penultimate gold piece is found while descending the narrow, broken staircase. You’ll have to leap across the gap to the steps where it’s resting.
The game’s final gold bar is found just beyond the room with the flaming floor. Fight off the zombies until the stairs are in place, the exit into the hall. You’ll find this nested in the rocks to the left of the stone doors.
