How Does Dummy Cache Work?
Dummy Cache lets Mina place a decoy by pressing Heal. The decoy contains Joules and draws enemy attention away from Mina.
The decoy disappears when it is destroyed or when another decoy is placed, making it most useful as a temporary distraction rather than a permanent summon.
How to Get Dummy Cache
- Progress far enough to reach Coltrane Peak.
- Visit the Frozen Pass area and obtain a snowball.
- Carry the snowball back to Franz in Western Wilds.
- Give or throw the snowball to Franz to complete the condition.
- Receive Dummy Cache as the reward.
Is Dummy Cache Worth Using?
Dummy Cache can be useful when you want to control enemy attention instead of relying only on direct defense. Creating a distraction can open space to reposition, heal, or deal with another threat.
Its value depends heavily on the encounter. Against enemies that respond well to distractions, it can create useful breathing room, while straightforward boss fights may offer fewer opportunities to exploit it.
Best Uses for Dummy Cache
- Rooms with several enemies attacking at once.
- Creating space to reposition or recover.
- Distracting enemies while focusing on a priority target.
- Players who prefer control and utility over raw damage.
- Exploration routes where avoiding unnecessary fights is useful.
Dummy Cache and 100% Completion
Dummy Cache is easy to overlook because its acquisition depends on carrying an item from Coltrane Peak back to an NPC in Western Wilds rather than opening a normal chest or buying it from a shop.
If Dummy Cache is missing from your collection, revisit Franz in Western Wilds and check the snowball condition from Coltrane Peak's Frozen Pass.
