Mina the Hollower Guide: Every Trinket Location

I spent way too many hours getting pulverized on Tenebrous Isle, but finding all 60 of these Trinkets finally tipped the scales in my favor.

Retro 8-bit gameplay from Mina the Hollower featuring the mouse protagonist on a floating platform against a cosmic nebula background with enemies and a pixel art user interface.

Do not wander into a boss fight without proper gear. You play as a mouse, so you are already tiny and fragile. Trinkets are your primary method of customizing your build and staying alive. Some give you a much needed extra jump, others let you leech health, and a few just cause total chaos on the screen. You have 60 of these little lifesavers scattered across the map. Some are locked behind brutal platforming challenges, while others just cost a massive pile of Bones at the local shops.

Before you bash your skull against a late-game boss, cross-reference your inventory with my list below. I broke them down by region so you can easily sweep through the map and grab what you missed.

Ossex City Center

Ossex acts as your main hub and safe haven. You can buy a massive chunk of your arsenal right here at the Trinket Bazaar, provided your wallet is heavy enough. A few others require you to run errands for the locals.

Southern Outskirts, Eastern Heath & Nox's Bayou

The early zones teach you the ropes, but they still hide some incredible gear if you poke around enough basements. Expect to get wet and miserable in the swamps of Nox's Bayou. I highly recommend buying the Pit Preserver early so you do not lose your mind falling into the muck.

Primed Vial Pouch Carry two extra Vials. Found in the Residence basement in Southern Outskirts.

Western Wilds, Kindlewood & Septemburg

Things heat up in the Wilds and get delightfully spooky over in Kindlewood. Prepare to drop a massive stash of Bones at Papa Madd's shop once you clear his house. The upgrades here dramatically shift how your sidearms perform.

Crypts, Graveyards & The Backwaters

These mid-game zones demand perfect positioning. The spike pits in Mourner's Mile will chew you up if you are not careful, so grab the Spike Spurs immediately.

Tumbling Tutu Spin attack and bounce off foes. Return Cliff the frog to his band in Shanty Swamp.

The Edges: Coltrane Peak, Manors, & Sandfalls

The far edges of the map hide the final pieces of the puzzle. Radiant Manor holds some of the most powerful utility items I found in my entire run. The Dodging Pendulum alone fundamentally changes how you approach combat. Many of these items will eventually filter into Panino's shop in Ossex, but finding them naturally saves you thousands of Bones.
