Marvel’s Wolverine: All 68 Material Crate Locations

There are 68 Material Crates scattered throughout Marvel's Wolverine. Opening them gives Logan Materials used to craft new suits, and each crafted suit permanently increases his maximum Health. Of course, the outfits are also a great excuse to play through the game wearing one of Wolverine's classic looks, and Insomniac Games clearly knew some fans would appreciate that. You don't need to collect all 68 crates for progression. Only 33 are required to fully upgrade Logan's Health, while crafting every available suit requires 63. The remaining five are technically optional, but collecting all of them unlocks the Crate Collector trophy, which counts toward the Platinum.

If you know a crate is nearby, listen carefully. When Logan gets close to one, the controller speaker begins producing a rhythmic pulse. The sound grows stronger when you're facing the crate, and it even works through walls. When you hear the signal, stop and slowly rotate until the sound becomes as loud as possible. Logan's senses can also highlight Material Crates and other collectibles.

Some crates only become accessible through story progression and are effectively impossible to miss. Others are hidden and require more thorough exploration. Below, we've listed the exact locations of all 68 Material Crates by region and mission, in story order. If you miss one during your first playthrough, you can return for it later using Mission Select after finishing the game.

Marvel's Wolverine contains 68 Material Crates in total. Collecting 33 is enough to fully upgrade Logan's Health, while the Materials from 63 crates are enough to craft every available suit. You only need all 68 to unlock the Crate Collector trophy.

Both crates are essentially story-related and impossible to miss. The first is in the storage room at the back-left side of Walter's lab. You'll gain access after Logan spends the night at the Essex Institute. The second is inside the linen cabinet in Sabretooth's bathroom.

Ride the zipline down, defeat the two enemies at the sawmill, and break through the yellow-painted wooden barricade. You'll almost immediately see a large crate with a blue glow behind it. The first Material Crate is there.

Next, climb onto the roof of the partially collapsed warehouse and drop into the ruined basement, where you'll find a large pipe marked Jean Only. Follow it all the way to the end to find the second crate.

The next crate is near the river where the trail leads you. Don't cross to the opposite bank immediately. Turn right instead and follow the path to a clearing, where the third crate is waiting.

The last one is at the docks. Use the cable near the front-left shipping containers to climb onto the gray harbor crane, then move across to the opposite side of the structure. The crate is waiting at the top of the crane.

While traveling through the snowy forest toward the refinery, you'll jump across a ravine. Immediately after landing, head as far left as possible. You won't even need Logan's senses here because the crate is sitting directly in front of you.

Next, don't climb upward right away. Stay on the lower level and follow the water until you reach a dead end. The second crate is there.

The next one is in the refinery yard. After breaking through the yellow double doors, follow the fence around the white building that resembles a shipping container. The crate is hidden behind it.

After leaving the refinery, head down the stairs and walk toward the truck bearing the Trask logo. Its rear cargo door is open, and the fourth and final crate for this mission is inside.

The only crate in this mission is inside the armory. It's immediately to the right of the entrance beside the weapon racks, so it should be easy to spot.

After sliding down the snowy slope into the stream, follow the water forward, then turn right and climb over the rocks. Use the lone tree on a small island as a landmark. Continue to the end of the path to find the first crate.

Later, after passing through a narrow gap but before reaching the fallen tree that leads up to the cliff, look left. The second crate is on a small snowy island at the base of a stump. After crossing the log and climbing onto the cliff, turn right at the fork. The trail leads to the lakeshore, where you'll find a fishing cabin by the water with the third crate in front of it.

The final crate is near Logan's old cabin. Climb the rocky ledges and follow the branch-covered path to the right. The crate is beside the cabin near the entrance.

Inside the power station lobby, look behind the reception desk to find the first crate. After the fight in the server room, climb to the upper level and find the ventilation grate in the wall. Cut through it with Logan's claws. The second crate is at the far end of the side room.

You'll probably find the first crate without even trying. It's right at the beginning of the mission behind the reception desk beneath the Trask Industries sign. After Mystique, disguised as Trask, opens the warehouse door, head inside and follow the right wall. The second crate is just beyond the first stack of boxes.

Continue following Trask's trail along the yellow line on the floor until it bends at a 45-degree angle. At the junction, turn left. You'll see a locked door with a keypad on the wall. Enter 0291 and collect the third crate from the far-right corner of the room.

Immediately after the tunnel, head into the left side of the next room. The fourth and final crate is near the fire.

Inside the bar, go through the round doorway to the right of the counter. The first crate is in the far corner.

Follow Jean's trail all the way to the end of the street. On the left is a staircase leading upward through an archway, but instead of climbing it, head all the way down. The second crate is beneath a fruit and vegetable stand.

Continue onward. After the fight where Logan pulls a sword from his body and turns it against an enemy, inspect the building by the water near the combat area. A walkway runs along its right side, and the third and final crate is at the end.

Japan contains more Material Crates than any other region. In the In the Shadows mission alone, there are seven, so it's worth taking your time and searching each mission carefully.

While searching for Jean, find the Smash.Compete store on the left. The alley behind it contains the first crate. To find the next one, enter the bar from Jean's vision. After stepping out of the elevator, immediately check the right side of the room.

The third crate is inside the first illusion. After destroying the two incense burners, leave the rooms and turn right. Logan's senses will point you toward some boxes in the passage. The crate is hidden behind them.

After the section where you swing across bars, Jean will hear cries for help. Reach the metal structure at the end of the route and turn around. The fourth crate is against the wall behind you.

The final crate is behind a set of metal shelves. You can find it after locating the Telepath and taking the elevator upward.

The first crate is on a rooftop before you cross over to Shiro's building, hidden behind some boxes.

The second is a little harder to reach and requires some climbing. After descending to street level, stand with your back to the building's main entrance and look forward and slightly to the right. The second crate is on the scaffolding.

The third crate is found at the construction site while climbing toward Shiro's penthouse. Logan picks up a trail near the Hand statue. Follow it forward, then drop down one level.

You'll find the last crate after the short action sequence where Jean saves Wolverine from falling while he's on a platform. Jump across to the building and keep to the right to find the fourth crate.

Enter the arcade from the street and take the stairs all the way down to the lowest level, where you'll find the first crate.

Leave the arcade, turn left, and head uphill. At the corner with the skeleton sign, turn right, then turn left at the next intersection. You'll quickly find a grappling point that takes you onto the roof. From there, travel across the rooftops back in the direction you came from. Logan's senses will eventually point toward a crate hidden behind a ventilation pipe.

The third crate is also on a rooftop, but you'll first need to locate several mutant detectors. A familiar grappling point nearby takes you directly to the roof and the crate.

To reach the fourth crate, descend using the rope to the left of several detectors, then drop another two levels down.

The fifth is on the lower level of the construction site near an excavator, to the left of where the noodle van stops.

The sixth crate is inside a short tunnel after the red room, down in the basement. Keep left of the shrine and you'll reach the container.

The seventh and final crate is on a rooftop beneath a cable, on the way back to Shiro after Logan's argument with Jean.

The first crate is on the rooftop to the left immediately after speaking with Shiro at the beginning of the mission.

The second is on the right beneath a large pipe after you watch the security footage.

The third and final crate is to the right of the elevator after leaving the steam room.

The first crate is behind the Alchemax truck.

After entering the restaurant, climb onto the ledge above the main stage to find the second crate. Hand soldiers initially guard the area, so it's easier to pick it up after the fight.

Later, while pursuing the Hand mutant, you'll reach an overturned car after helping an injured woman. Turn left from the car into the alley to find the third crate.

After the ambush, climb through the broken wall into the construction site and immediately check behind the truck on the left. The fourth crate is there.

The fifth and final crate is at the base of the stairs leading down into the basement.

You'll find the first crate in the village immediately behind the first building on the left.

For the second, continue through the story until you reach the memorial. There's a staircase behind it. Climb to the top and look behind the mannequins to find the crate.

Later, you'll take part in a large fight in the foggy valley. Once it's over, don't immediately follow Jean. Instead, search the rocks along the water's edge to find the third crate.

The final crate is immediately after you open the large fortress gates. Head inside and look to the left.

The only crate in this mission is difficult to miss. After speaking with Essex through the bathroom mirror, a secret room opens inside Shiro's wardrobe. The crate is inside that room.

Three of the four crates are hidden inside inactive trucks at Reaver checkpoints.

The first is inside the truck immediately after you clear the first checkpoint.

The second is also in the back of a truck at the second checkpoint. To reach it, continue straight ahead instead of turning toward Jean near the clock tower.

The third crate is inside a truck on the leftmost street leading toward the tower.

The fourth and final crate is no longer inside a vehicle. It's on a rooftop south of the radio tower.

After dealing with the Reaver ambush inside the casino, head toward the elevator. Before entering it, turn right and collect the nearby crate.

Almost immediately after leaving the fish market and heading toward the theater, look left to find the first crate.

The second is in the market square where a sniper begins firing at you from a rooftop. Turn left and look among the market stalls to find the crate.

After defeating the Sentinel, follow the path around the corner. The first crate is on the right inside a ruined building.

Later, after another fight, follow the street to the right all the way toward the next Sentinel. The second crate is sitting in the dead end.

Inside the noodle shop, slide downward and immediately climb the ledge on the left to reach the middle floor, where you'll find the third crate.

The fourth crate is on the lower floor of the partially destroyed building to your left after leaving Mystique's hideout.

The fifth and final crate is on the street to the left when you see Jean entering the power station.

The first crate is on your right after using the rope to climb out of the basement.

The second is on the left after breaking through the window to escape the illusion of Essex's bar.

The third and final crate in this mission, and the 68th Material Crate in the entire game, is on your left after the Essex Institute illusion.

Marvel's Wolverine is a linear game, and access to some crates is tied directly to story progression. The second crate in Homecoming is one example. For that reason, it's best to search each mission as thoroughly as possible during the story, then use Mission Select to clean up anything you missed. Hopefully, this guide helped you track down all 68 Material Crates in Marvel's Wolverine.
