Mina the Hollower Trinkets List
Trinkets are the biggest long-term build layer. Yacht Club Games confirmed 60 trinkets across Tenebrous Isle. This page tracks effects, build roles, and location status.
Quick Answer: Equip up to 6 trinkets after unlocking slots. Start with defensive and utility trinkets for first runs, then experiment with damage and exploration trinkets as you learn routes.
Spoiler-Light Hint: Exact trinket names and locations are unverified until route testing is complete. This table separates confirmed mechanics from launch-window speculation.
Confirmed Trinket Mechanics
- Trinket slots: You start with limited slots and can unlock up to 6 total through progression and vendors.
- Swapping: Trinkets can be equipped and swapped at any Trinket Chest.
- Build strategy: Change one trinket at a time after identifying the exact cause of death.
- Verification status: Names, effects, and locations below are pending in-game confirmation.
