Mina the Hollower 100% Cleanup Checklist

Step 1: Check Missed Trinkets

Trinkets are the most important cleanup category because they are easy to overlook during a normal route. Some are hidden, some depend on rewards or conditions, and some are easier to miss if you do not revisit older areas.

Start here: Mina the Hollower Missable Trinkets Guide.

What to check

• NPC reward trinkets
• Condition-based trinkets
• Trinkets hidden behind revisit paths
• Trinkets that may appear in Black Market recovery
• Any area where your map or memory feels incomplete

Step 2: Review Black Market Recovery

Before assuming a trinket is permanently lost, check whether it can be recovered through the Black Market. This is especially important if you are cleaning up late and no longer remember which rewards or conditions you triggered earlier.

Use this guide: Black Market Trinkets Guide.

Black Market cleanup rule

Do not panic when a trinket seems missing. Check normal location, reward condition, and Black Market recovery before resetting your route.

Step 3: Confirm All Trinket Locations

After checking missable and recovery items, use the full trinket list to compare your collection against every known trinket.

Use this as your main checklist: All Trinket Locations.

Best way to use the full list

• Go area by area instead of reading randomly.
• Mark what you already have.
• Write down uncertain locations.
• Revisit old areas after movement upgrades.
• Check Black Market only after normal locations.

Step 4: Clean Up Weapons

Weapon choice matters during cleanup because you will spend a lot of time revisiting rooms, dealing with small enemies, and crossing awkward hazard areas. The best cleanup weapon is not always the highest-damage weapon. It is the weapon that keeps you consistent.

Weapon cleanup checklist

• Use a weapon that avoids unnecessary contact damage.
• Do not force Hammer if spacing feels uncomfortable.
• Switch weapons if a room or section feels awkward.
• Prioritize safety over damage during backtracking.

Step 5: Use Mirrors and Backtracking Routes

Mirrors and backtracking are part of why Mina cleanup can feel confusing. If you do not understand how revisits work, 100% completion becomes much slower than it needs to be.

This section will link to a full mirror guide once it is published.

Step 6: Check Achievements

Some players finish the main route and only then realize that achievement cleanup is a separate layer. Treat achievements as their own checklist, not something that automatically finishes just because you reached the ending.

Achievement cleanup categories

• Movement-based achievements
• Boss or combat achievements
• Collection achievements
• Secret ending or special requirement achievements
• Challenge-style achievements that require specific behavior

Step 7: Prepare Final Cleanup Before Ending

Before you push into the final stretch, do one last sweep. The most annoying 100% problem is realizing too late that you missed one small item, reward, or revisit path.

FAQ

Is 100% completion hard in Mina the Hollower?

It is doable, but cleanup can become messy if you do not track missed trinkets, revisit paths, weapons, mirrors, and achievement-specific tasks.

What should I check first for 100%?

Start with missed trinkets, then check Black Market recovery, then compare against the full all-trinket list.

Are trinkets the hardest part of cleanup?

For many players, yes. Trinkets are easy to overlook because some are hidden, conditional, or tied to cleanup routes instead of the main path.

Do weapons matter for 100%?

Yes. A safer weapon can make backtracking and cleanup less frustrating, especially when revisiting older areas with awkward enemies or hazards.

Should I use a checklist?

Yes. Mina rewards exploration, but 100% completion is much easier when you track what you already checked instead of relying only on memory.
