All Uncharted 4 Rock Cairn locations across Madagascar

The Uncharted 4 rock cairn locations across Madagascar are more important than they first seem. A rock cairn is a pretty name for what's basically a pile of stones, but by kicking them all over you can get a special trophy called "Not a Cairn in the World". Clever. There's actually 16 rock cairns spread across the Madagascar area, and you can knock them down with either a quick punch or just rolling over them in your jeep (which can't be good for the axles). 

Now part of the PS Plus Collection Games selection with the PS5 remaster on the way soon, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is worth exploring on its own terms, and kicking down rocks is something that's fun from the moment we're born. A little note of warning though: you’ll hit several points of no return during the chapter, so if you do happen to miss any of the Uncharted 4 rock cairn locations, you’ll have to replay the chapter and knock them all down on your next playthrough.
