Mina the Hollower Guide Coverage

This hub is planned around what players will need at launch: combat basics, route order, burrow movement, sidearm choices, trinket builds, bosses, secrets and completion cleanup.

Recommended Launch Route

A first-pass route for Mina players that keeps combat learning, exploration and secret cleanup in a sensible order.

1
Learn the core moves first

Get comfortable with whip range, dodging, burrowing under hazards and reading enemy approach patterns.

2
Open routes before heavy cleanup

Prioritize new areas, shortcuts and ability gates before trying to collect every secret on the first pass.

3
Test sidearms and trinkets often

Swap tools when enemies or bosses change the rhythm; Mina is built around adapting your kit.

4
Return for secrets with better tools

Use later upgrades, map knowledge and stronger trinket setups to clean hidden rooms and optional paths.

5
Save full completion for the endgame

Finish bosses, remaining upgrades and New Game Plus planning after the full world structure is clear.
