100% Rule
Play the story first, clean up with the trinket table second. The table below gives you a trinket cleanup checklist with effects and regions. Use it during your cleanup pass to cross-reference your inventory without replaying the entire map.
| Completion area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Steam achievements | Open the live Steam achievement list after installing and compare hidden entries after your story clear. |
| Console trophies | Open the platform trophy list on your console profile before planning a platinum route. |
| Trinkets | Use the regional table below as an inventory cleanup checklist. |
| Bosses and secrets | Record optional bosses, hidden rooms, sidearms, upgrades, and map gaps before final cleanup. |
Recommended Achievement Roadmap
Mina the Hollower is an action-adventure first and a checklist second. A first run should teach movement and combat. A second pass should clean up map coverage, trinkets, equipment, bosses, and platform list gaps.
| Step | Do this | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First run | Play normally, learn burrowing, Nightstar range, sidearms, trinkets, and boss timing. | A clean learning run prevents early achievement hunting from turning into repeated resets. |
| Map and secrets pass | Revisit side paths, suspicious rooms, upgrade checks, and hard-to-reach corners. | Mina emphasizes secrets and interconnected level design, so exploration cleanup should be deliberate. |
| Boss and combat cleanup | Record boss clears, secret boss fights (Midden, Mirren, Willis), and difficult combat rooms. | Defeating every boss and hidden encounter is likely required for 100% completion. |
| Equipment cleanup | Use the trinket table below to identify missing trinkets. Track sidearms and upgrades region by region. | Regional cleanup is easier when every missing item is tied to a place, effect, and inventory gap. |
| Final platform check | Compare your save against Steam achievements and console trophies after lists are visible. | Hidden entries and platform-specific trophies can change the last cleanup steps. |

Use this checklist while playing instead of waiting until the end. Every entry should be tied to a room, trinket, boss, item, or achievement popup so cleanup stays traceable.
| Track | What to record |
|---|---|
| Story progress | Main route cleared, credits reached, post-game access checked. |
| Map coverage | Unexplored rooms, locked paths, shortcut loops, and suspicious dead ends. |
| Trinkets | Trinkets collected using the table below. Cross-reference your inventory region by region. |
| Secrets | Hidden items, side rooms, secret bosses (Midden, Mirren, Willis), and optional challenge spaces. |
| Combat | Boss clears, difficult enemy rooms, sidearm use, and challenge popups. |

| Platform list | Steam achievements and console trophy lists checked after launch. |
Missable and Platform Cautions
- Most trinkets and upgrades remain accessible after completing the story. Only a few event-triggered items require specific actions during the main playthrough.
- Secret bosses (Midden, Mirren, Willis) require specific triggers during the story and may be missable if you clear an area without activating them.
- Check the live Steam achievement list for hidden requirements after launch. Some achievements may require no-hit boss kills or speed challenges.
- PlayStation trophy names may differ from Steam achievement names. Cross-reference both lists during final cleanup.
- Use the beginner guide before chasing hard combat cleanup.
- Use the Steam Deck guide if handheld controls affect boss timing.
Platform Cleanup Order
Steam should be the first list to check on PC. Console players should compare their platform trophy list separately because hidden entries, naming, and unlock behavior can differ by storefront.
