Hunting Down Every Joule Box Upgrade in Mina the Hollower
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A comprehensive guide on locating all eight joule box upgrades in Yacht Club Games' Mina the Hollower to max out sidearm charges.
Yacht Club Games is back with Mina the Hollower, and finding every upgrade is essential for players looking to master the game's combat loop. Joule boxes directly increase your sidearm capacity. You start the game with a maximum stack of 20 joules, but every box you track down adds 10 more to your total, capping you out at a hefty 100 charges. Securing all eight upgrades spread across the map requires exploring hostile territory, spending valuable kears, and mastering movement tools like the Drill Driver.
The hunt begins in the center of Ossex at the Emporium, where you can purchase your first three joule boxes. The initial purchase costs 500 bones, though prices scale up with each subsequent buy. The remaining upgrades are hidden out in the wider world, requiring specific items and puzzle solving. For instance, reaching the Buckler's Bluff upgrade in Eastern Heath demands a clever combination of key spending and precise airborne Drill Driver usage to clear massive gaps and navigate spinning gear obstacles.
For players deep into completionist runs or looking to streamline their progression, having a reliable route makes a huge difference. Navigating these regional challenges without a roadmap can drain your resources fast, especially when locked doors and hidden tunnels demand precious kears. Original reporting and detailed region-by-region breakdowns come courtesy of Marloes Valentina Stella over at Polygon, providing the exact route needed to max out your sidearm capacity.
