How to Sneak Past the Guard and Enter the Music Hall in Mina the Hollower
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Stuck at the door in Mina the Hollower? Here is how to use a clever burrowing trick to sneak past the bouncer and gain entry to the Ossex Music Hall.
Finding clever ways around locked doors is half the fun in Yacht Club Games' latest release, and Mina the Hollower delivers plenty of classic secrets for players to uncover. When you first reach the Ossex Music Hall, you will quickly run into a roadblock named Komodore. The bouncer turns Mina away at the door because Hollowers are not welcome, setting up a classic puzzle where you need to find a sneaky workaround to get inside. Fortunately, you do not need any major story progression or high-tier gear to bypass the guard. You just need to know how to use Mina's core movement mechanics to your advantage.
If you want the in-game hint, you can track down a raccoon named Tramp at a campfire just northeast of the venue. Handing over 100 bones reveals that Tramp was previously smuggled inside by hiding under someone else's feet. Translating that strategy to gameplay means you need to utilize Mina's burrowing ability right as another visitor walks through the entrance. Wait near the doorway for a civilian to approach, position yourself a few tiles away from Komodore, and dive underground just as the NPC crosses your path to slide right past the bouncer.
Timing is everything for this trick, and Komodore will easily shove you back if you start your burrow too early or too late. There is no penalty for failing, so you can keep trying until you nail the exact window. Once you successfully slip inside, you can check out the venue and even enjoy some live music if you have already tracked down the missing frog musicians out in the Bayou.
