Fizzmatix Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Gears of War: COG Tag Locations PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME FRIEND REQUESTS. I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS BUT I MAY HAVE RENTED/TRADED THE GAME ALREADY. I DON'T ACCEPT RANDOM FRIEND REQUESTS. ACT 1 Prison area 1 - Exit the cell and make your way forward to the first open area. You will see almost directly in front of you a big red Gear of War logo. You will find your first COG tag in front of it. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow1.jpg 2 - After you have made your decision of which path to take you will come to a room where the Locust will cut through a door. Kill them and look toward the back of this large room on the ground level to find the tags near an ammo crate. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow2.jpg 3 - Exit the previous area through the door which the Locust entered through. You will see a set of stairs as soon as you exit on your left hand side. Head up the stairs and look to your left once you get to the top. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow3.jpg Trial By fire 4 - After the cut-scene head up the stairs and into a small courtyard. You will need to deal with a few Locust before you can proceed. At the end of the courtyard you will see a Gears of War logo on a broken piece of wall. Look just to the right behind a small wall. You will be directed by a tutorial to collect it. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow4.jpg 5 - Continue onward until you cross over the bridge and enter the building. You will need to deal with two Locust holes before you can proceed. just after you close the one near the exit look under the window just to the left of the doorway. You will find the tag hidden among the weeds. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow5.jpg 6 - Once you have watched the cut scene and made your way past the Troika you will enter a big open area with a fountain in the middle. Head directly to the forward to the back wall and look to your left. You will find the tags up against the wall near a set of windows. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow6.jpg Knock Knock 7 - Proceed forward until you enter this next chapter. You will enter a huge open area with the House of Sovereigns in front of you. If you look to the left as you enter this area you will see a white van with the Gear of War logo. Just to the left again you will see a huge hole in the ground and the tag sitting on the stairs in the corner. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow7.jpg Hammer 8 - Once you gain access to the House of Sovereigns you will need to make your way through and save Cole. Just after you have killed all the Locust you will make your way through to a long hallway where Jack needs to rip a door. Head to the left once you enter this hallway and run to the far end, the tags are behind a stone block on your right hand side. At this point you will be trapped while a horde of wretches attack you. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow8.jpg 9 - You need to make your way through the hallways and through the courtyard. There will be two Seeders on your way which you will need to kill to progress. Keep following the set patch until you walk past the second dead Seeder and head into the Auditorium. Short after this area you will find the body of Rojas, just to the right you will find his tag behind a pillar. Cole will be stood in front of it so it may not be visible. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow9.jpg China Shop 10 - As you start out you will see a soldier run off into the Berserker, after the cutscene go up to his body and collect the tag.

Break through the first door, then proceed and break through the second door. Once you have entered the second chamber before you break the third door look to your right. The tag is sitting in an alcove right at the end of the room next to the third door. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow11.jpg 12 - Once you smash through the third door and enter the courtyard follow the wall around to the left. You will come to a wall and a boarded up door, look around in the grass to find the tag next to a stone planter. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/144-gow12.jpg Edited February 5, 2010 by Fizzmatix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchcraft1980 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 thanks for this, great having images along with it can i say one thing tho, i found it much easier to get the cog after you get dom to the building when you shine the light on top of the building for him then shine the light where you need it to pick up the cog because all the lights are on then and mostly if you try before he gets to the building he dies and you have to restart over.
