Here is the painstakingly created guide/walkthrough for ALL 56 Memory Chips (BY APPEARANCE) you can find in Death Stranding/Death Stranding: Director’s Cut.
 
 

Video Guide

As other guides I’ve done, THIS is the most polished version of my guide. It has extra visual aid, and will be much easier to follow for some of the entries.
 
 

 
 
 

The Game’s Order Of These Sucks, So I Changed It

You might think, “This screen is fine.” Until you start collecting them.
 
 

 
 
The game ordered these by CATEGORY not APPEARANCE. So no, it’s not fine! It’s so not fine, that I reordered the memory chips by appearance myself.
 
 

 
 
This’s close to their actual order. I swear it’s easier! You’ll see the difference when we get to the map.
 
 
 

ALL Chips (WITH MAPS)

If any of these memory chips are not where they’re supposed to be, that might be a sign that you’ll need to rest, check some emails, and/or progress more through the story.
 
 
Reddit user u/KanikaD, like an angel sent from the beach, had compiled a timely map of all the Memory Chip locations and was kind enough to let me use it. You can find the full map here! – [reddit.com] 
 
 
The lines drawn on these maps I did myself, to show the order a bit better.
 
 
Timestamps are here too if you’re using the more polished video guide. These are listed by ORDER OF APPEARANCE (The game’s order is in parentheses).
