So far, I’ve found that the main chapters are broken into areas.  Once you’ve left an area, there is no way to return. This means that you might have missed some loot and the only way to to get it is to load a manual save (if you have one) or restart the level. Personally, I find this very frustrating!  In order to help, I’ve created a list with an entry for each “point of no return”.  Each lists the amount of the different types of loot you should have before leaving the area, and where the area ends.  If your amounts match, then you can leave knowing it has been cleared.  Otherwise, you can keep searching!

To check your progress of collectibles, loot/gold and pockets picked before you leave an area, open the journal and go to Player Progression > Statistics.  For documents and newspapers go to the Documents section in the journal.
