Know what to equip first
Best trinkets to equip first for survival, bosses, and exploration.
Spoiler-light guide
Mina the Hollower Trinket Locations
Use this page as a post-launch trinket checklist. The full game has 60 trinkets; this page now lists concrete high-value examples first, then gives a region/source workflow for finishing the remaining cleanup without copying another site's database.
Quick Answer: Start with Proto Spark, Plasma Funnel, Primed Vial Pouch, Spike Spurs, Stolenoid, and Fly Bait if you want early safety and cleanup value. For 100%, sort missing trinkets by source type: shop, chest, side quest, secret boss, challenge, or late-region cleanup.
Spoiler-Light Hint: Full-spoiler mode starts below. If you are on a blind first run, read only the priority table and stop before the secret boss reward rows.
Priority Trinkets With Locations
This is the working answer layer for players searching exact locations. It focuses on high-value and commonly searched trinkets first, with a verification column so patch-sensitive or community-only routes are not overstated.

All 60 Cleanup Framework
Public databases now agree on a 60-trinket pool, but the safest original structure for this site is a verified subset plus a full cleanup workflow. Add the remaining names only after in-game checking or two-source confirmation.
| Source type | What to check | Best time to clean up | Spoiler level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shop / bazaar | Lady Susan, Poppit shops, Pinky's Parlor, Panino, expanded Ossex stock | After new regions, boss clears, or economy upgrades | Low |
| Chest / puzzle room | Suspicious switches, urns, spike rooms, unreachable ledges, burrow paths | After movement comfort improves | Medium |
| NPC side quest | Rhene/Guild events, frog band chain, Ack and Dak, Duke, odd one-off NPCs | After completing a region story beat | High |
| Secret boss reward | Midden, Willis, Mirren, Dugin, and other optional encounters | When you are ready for boss spoilers | High |
| Challenge / minigame | Races, fishing, mimic/challenge rooms, timed movement tests | After map and fast travel are stable | Medium |
| Late cleanup fallback | Ossex fallback shops and stock expansions | Before 100% completion | Medium |
Region Cleanup Order
| Cleanup pass | Goal | What to equip | Stop when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Shops and obvious rewards | Buy or claim anything visible | Economy and pickup support | Prices or quest steps block you |
| 2. Early-region backtracking | Revisit rooms with new movement knowledge | Movement and survival | Every suspicious room is marked |
| 3. Puzzle sweep | Solve rooms you skipped because the answer was unclear | Movement, patience, and a safe weapon | A puzzle needs a later tool |
| 4. Boss-adjacent cleanup | Check rewards near major progression gates | Boss survival loadout first | You enter unknown boss content |
| 5. Full map sweep | Compare against your map and external checklist | Utility, movement, economy | Only exact missing names remain |
How to Track Missing Trinkets
- Write down source type: shop, quest, puzzle, hidden room, race, or unknown.
- Do not buy blindly: save enough Bones for progression, then return for cleanup purchases.
- Mark locked doors: screenshots or notes save time when a key, hint, or movement option appears later.
- Swap loadouts: exploration trinkets are great for cleanup but weak if you accidentally enter a boss.
- Cross-check carefully: public guides update quickly after launch, so verify a route before treating it as final.
Commonly Missed Categories
| Category | Why players miss it | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor expansion | Stock changes after progression or quest steps | Revisit shops after major milestones |
| NPC chain reward | The reward appears several steps after the first interaction | Follow NPC dialogue and revisit after region events |
| Breakable or hidden route | The room looks decorative until you test walls or burrow paths | Mark suspicious dead ends |
| Challenge reward | Races and trials may hide utility items behind retries | Return with movement comfort |
| Locked cellar / odd door | The hint appears elsewhere before the door opens | Record door location and come back later |

Where are trinkets usually hidden?
They come from shops, quest rewards, puzzle rooms, hidden paths, challenges, and late-game cleanup areas.
Should I use a full spoiler map?
Use a spoiler map only when you are ready for cleanup. For a first run, mark suspicious rooms and return later.
