Tracking Down Every Weapon and Upgrade in Mina the Hollower
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A comprehensive guide detailing where to find every weapon, shop, and upgrade location in Mina the Hollower, based on reporting by Polygon.
Yacht Club Games is back with Mina the Hollower, and finding every weapon and upgrade across the Tenebrous Isle takes serious exploration. Players can swap weapons in the Underlab after collecting them, but fully powering up your arsenal requires tracking down extra copies through shops and hidden map secrets. As reported by Marloes Valentina Stella over at Polygon, the game features five core weapon types, and each one can be upgraded twice. Grabbing these duplicates is essential if you want to maximize your damage output before tackling the tougher late game areas.
The main hubs for expanding your loadout include specific merchants and hidden spots. Your first stop is usually Legovich's Arms in Ossex, where you can buy the starting weapons you skipped along with your first round of upgrades, though you will need to deal with a bit of sibling rivalry from the shopkeeper's brother first. Later on, a shipwreck in Loner's Landing offers another merchant path if you bring along enough kears and a stolen ladder from Shanty Swamp. You also want to keep an eye on Panino's shop in Station Underside, but be warned that Panino scales his prices upward as you restore more spark generators.
Navigating these hidden vendor locations and managing your bone economy adds a satisfying layer of progression to the retro inspired adventure. Whether you are leaning toward the Nightstar or maining the Battery Buster, pacing your purchases before world events drive up prices will save you a massive grind. For the complete visual guide on exact coordinates and map routes, you can check out the original breakdown on Polygon.
