Mina the Hollower – Trophy Guide and Roadmap 100%

This Mina the Hollower trophy guide offers a clear path to achieving the platinum trophy on PlayStation or completing all achievements on other platforms. Unlike some more straightforward games, simply finishing the story and collecting items isn't enough: the list includes New Game+ , combat challenges, minigames, specific weapon and trinket usage, a sub-4-hour playthrough, and various special conditions that are best planned from the start.

The good news is that almost everything can be organized in sessions. It's recommended to play a full session first to learn the map, get upgrades, and clear as much as possible. Then, once you're familiar with the game, you can tackle the tougher challenges like Road Runner , Bone Saver , Bone Keeper , Laborarriba , or Below Zero.

Quick Roadmap

Tips before you start

The platinum trophy for Mina the Hollower shouldn't be attempted by improvisation. Your first playthrough should be used to learn the map thoroughly, test weapons, unlock upgrades, complete minigames, and get a general cleanup done.

Don't try to combine all the challenges in a single playthrough. Some objectives conflict with others. For example, Team Power requires you to unlock weapons, trinkets, capes, and upgrades, while Bone Saver requires you to finish without spending bones in shops, and Below Zero requires you to finish with a negative collection percentage or lower.

The best way to approach this is to divide the 100% into several paths: a clean run, a New Game+, a quick run, and another run for special conditions. This will prevent you from getting stuck or repeating the same game too many times.

It's also important to practice with all weapons and sub-weapons. Many achievements don't simply require killing enemies, but doing so in a very specific way: with ricochets, from a distance, using the tip of a weapon, piercing through enemies, or maintaining combos.

Recommended route for 100%

Step 1: Main game, story, exploration and collectibles

Start by playing normally, exploring at your own pace and learning how the Mine works. During this playthrough, you should unlock the story achievements, buy your first item, restore generators, try out minigames, and collect all the available upgrades.

This will also be the ideal game to go for Team of the Year , Millionaires , Deep Sea Fishing , Minigames to Me , Renegades Reunited and most achievements related to weapons, sub-weapons and trinkets.

• All Subweapons
• All the backpacks from Viales
• All Bead Bags
• All Boxes of Juls
• All Spark Containers
• All Fish
• All the Improvements
• All the Beads
• All collectibles

Step 2: Cleaning weapons, trinkets, and specific challenges

Once you have more gear, dedicate time to specific achievements. These include challenges like Maximaza , Hachádruple , Agujero de gusano , Fantasmada , Puntillosa , Guardia eterna , Redobláster , Táctica de choque, and Yonqui de julios.

The key is to look for areas with easy enemies, bosses you already control well, or fights where you can prepare the situation without too much risk.

Step 3: New Game+

Once you're familiar with the game, complete a New Game+ run to unlock The Resurrecter . This route can also be used to practice shortcuts, bosses, and key areas before attempting a speedrun.

Step 4: Speedrun and special conditions challenges

Leave the most delicate achievements for last: Roadrunner , Bone Saver , Bone Guard , Laborarriba , Very Hard , Very Rare and Below Zero.

These challenges require planning from the start of the game. Ideally, separate games should be played to avoid mixing overly incompatible conditions.

All the bosses in Mina the Hollower

Here is the complete list of bosses in Mina the Hollower , with direct access to the guide for each fight.

Chiefdom

Achieve the rest of the feats.

This is the platinum trophy . It is automatically unlocked upon obtaining all other Mina the Hollower trophies.

Empty victory

Reach the end of the game.

Complete the main story and defeat the final boss . You don't need to get 100%, collect all the items, or complete special challenges to unlock it.

great team

Unlock all weapons, trinkets, capes, and upgrades.

This is one of the major cleanup trophies. You need to collect all the weapons, trinkets, capes, and upgrades . Do this in your main playthrough, exploring all the areas, checking shops, completing challenges, and returning to old locations when you have new abilities.

Don't combine it with special games like Bone Saver or Below Zero , because in those routes you want to spend little or collect as little as possible.

The Renewer

Complete the game in New Game+.

First, finish the story once to unlock New Game+ . Then, start a new game in this mode and complete it again. It's best to leave this until you're familiar with the routes, bosses, and important upgrades.

Thorne, whipped

Defeat Thorne for the first time.

Thorne is one of the first major bosses. Learn his attacks, dodge before attacking, and only strike when he finishes his animations. Defeating him for the first time will unlock the trophy.

Here you can see the first confrontation against Thorne

Sparks of wit

Fix half of the spark generators.

Spark generators are part of the progression and exploration. Advance across the map and restore generators until you reach half the total. If you explore normally, they should appear naturally.

Millionaires

Spend 50.000 bones across all the stores.

You need to spend 50.000 bones in shops cumulatively. You don't have to get them all at once. Buy weapons, trinkets, capes, upgrades, and items in your main game.

Don't do it in the same playthrough as Bone Saver , because that trophy requires you to finish without spending bones in shops.

First purchase

Purchase your first item.

Buy any item at a store. You just need to gather some bones, find a vendor, and buy what you want.

High fishing

Acquire all the trophies in the Fishing Gallery.

Complete all the objectives in the Fishing Gallery . Some challenges may require practice, so it's best to leave them for your main cleanup run, when you can then focus on the minigames at your leisure.

Here you can see the location of all the fish.

Renegades reunited

Defeat Armand, Maxi, Willis, La Zarpa and Evra.

You must find and defeat Armand, Maxi, Willis, the Claw, and Evra . These are optional battles, so completing the main story isn't enough.

Explore each area thoroughly, check side paths, and return to old locations with new abilities until you find all five.

• Location and confrontation with Maxi.
• Location and confrontation with Armand.
• Location and confrontation with Willis.
• Location and confrontation with the Claw (1st encounter).
• Location and confrontation with the Claw (2nd encounter).
• Location and confrontation with Evra.

Minigames for me

Master all the challenges of Racing, Underground, and Scrapyard.

You have to master all the challenges in Races, Underground Villages, and Scrapyard . Playing them once isn't enough: you must complete their mastery objectives.

Practice each challenge separately until you learn the correct route.

Here you can watch the video on how to get the achievement/trophy.

Very tough

Complete the game with 3 active hard modifiers.

Start a playthrough with 3 hard modifiers active and finish the game without removing them. Leave removing them until you're familiar with the main route and focus solely on completing the story.

Very rare

Complete the game with 3 active rare modifiers.

It works the same as Hardest , but using 3 rare modifiers . Choose the ones that bother you the least and play a game dedicated solely to finishing it, without mixing it with more complicated challenges.

Road Runner

Complete the game in less than 4 hours.

Play a separate game just for this trophy. You need to complete the game in under 4 hours , so don't waste time collecting collectibles, clearing optional areas, or playing minigames.

Practice the route beforehand to find out which upgrades and bosses are mandatory.

Untouchable

Defeat the boss of a spark generator without taking damage.

Choose the generator boss you're best at and repeat the process until you learn all its attack patterns. Play defensively, only attack when it's safe, and restart if you take damage.

Bone saver

Complete the game without spending a single penny in stores.

You can collect bones, but you can't buy anything during the entire game. Do it in a separate game and avoid vendors if you can afford to miss them.

The goal is to reach the end without spending a single penny in stores.

Boneguard

Complete the game without losing your bones even once.

You must finish the game without losing any bones when you die. Play very carefully and avoid entering dangerous areas with too many bones on you.

If you die and the game registers the bone loss, you will have to restart the route.

Laborarriba

Complete the game without entering the Laborabajo even once.

Plan your game and never enter the Laborabajo . Just going in to look around won't count, because if the game registers the visit, the attempt will be invalidated.

Iron Rider

Riding the Iron Horse, jump on 3 enemies in a row without touching the ground.

Find an area with three enemies close together or in a line . Mount the Iron Horse and bounce off the heads of the three enemies without landing in between.

It's easier with slow enemies and a large area.

The horse

Ride the Iron Horse through 6 unique screens without turning back.

Plan a long, linear route. Mount the Iron Horse and cross 6 different screens, always moving forward.

Do not go back to a previous screen or change direction.

Trebotabombas

Defeat an opponent with the Rebotabombas after 3 rebounds of the 2 orbs.

Find an enclosed area or one with nearby walls. Throw the Bounce Bomb and wait for the two orbs to bounce three times before the explosion kills the enemy.

It's easier with a weak or previously damaged enemy.

Jumping

Defeat an enemy 8 water tiles away using Drain Stones.

Find an area with water and an enemy on the other side. Position yourself leaving at least 8 water tiles between the Mine and the enemy, and eliminate it using Drain Stones.

If it doesn't jump, move a little further away.

Double-axe

Defeat 4 enemies with a different spark from a single Amperacha.

You need an area with at least 4 enemies nearby . Throw the Amperacha so that each spark hits a different enemy.

It's easier with weak and grouped enemies.

Zigzag

Defeat multiple enemies with a single Gyro Dagger, changing direction with each hit.

Look for weak enemies positioned so you can redirect the Girodaga between them. Throw it at the first one and change direction so it hits the next.

The deaths must occur with the same launch.

Wormhole

Defeat a rival by appearing on screen with the Discoportal.

Leave an enemy with low health, use the Disc Portal and move away until Mina returns from off-screen or from an unseen area.

Here you can see the video of the fight in which I got the achievement/trophy.

Triple drill

Defeat 3 enemies with a single charge of the Drill.

Find three enemies together or in a line. Charge the Drill and hit all three with a single use.

Narrow corridors are very helpful because they allow you to easily line up enemies.

Dynamic light

Avoid a very dark fate with the Dynamo Flashlight.

Equip the Dynamo Flashlight before entering dark areas. When the game activates the threat of darkness, use the flashlight to avoid damage or death.

If he saves you at the right moment, the trophy will pop.

Abyssal parasol

Push multiple enemies into the abyss with a single use of the Deflector Parasol.

Find an area with cliffs and several enemies near the edge. Use the Deflector Parasol to push multiple enemies into the void with a single activation.

It's no use throwing them away one by one.

Invocolega

Keep the Invokecollar creature under control for most of a boss fight.

Equip the Summon Necklace before entering a boss fight. During the fight, play carefully to keep the creature active for as long as possible.

Do it against a boss you already know well.

Phantom

Hit an enemy 25 tiles away using Spectrebiters.

Find a long, straight area with an enemy visible from a great distance. Position yourself as far away as possible and use Spectrebites to attack it from 25 tiles away.

If it doesn't jump, the distance increases.

Into the mists

Pierce 3 enemies with a single use of the Mist Vase.

Find three enemies close together or in a line. Use the Mist Vase and pierce through all three while the effect is active.

There's no need to kill them, just pass through them with a single use.

Overwhelming

Defeat 6 enemies with a single spray of Mist Launcher.

Find an area with many small enemies. Group them together before attacking and use the Mist Thrower continuously until you eliminate 6 enemies without interrupting the spray.

Punctilious

Defeat 10 rivals in a row with the tip of Nochestrella's Frightful Flail.

Equip the Nightstar Fright Flail and kill 10 enemies in a row by hitting only with the tip of the weapon.

Keep a good distance, because if you hit with the near side it may not count.

Maximaza

Defeat a boss using only fully charged Dynahammer attacks.

Equip the Dynahammer and choose a boss you're comfortable with. Throughout the fight, you can only deal damage with charged attacks . Hold down the attack button and release it to strike.

Do not use normal attacks, sub-weapons, or extra effects.

Here you can see the video of the fight in which I got the achievement/trophy.

Distant daggers

Defeat a boss by throwing Breath and Dream from the other side of the screen.

Reduce the boss's health until he's almost defeated. Then move to the opposite side of the screen and use Breath and Sleep so the final blow comes from a distance.

Eternal Guard

For 15 consecutive attacks with the Coffin Guard.

Equip the Coffin Guard and find an enemy with easy-to-read attacks. You must block 15 consecutive attacks without missing and without taking damage.

Focus only on stopping until you complete the chain.

Redoblaster

Defeat 3 rivals in a row using only double rebounds from the Accumulaster.

To achieve this, each enemy must die from a shot by the Accumblaster that has bounced twice before hitting.

Therefore, it's best to find an area with nearby walls and enemies that are easy to position. First, calculate the angle of the shot, then let it bounce twice, and finally, make sure the impact is the one that defeats the enemy. You'll have to repeat this with three opponents in a row without killing them with any other method.

Find an area with close walls and kill three enemies in a row in this way.

The height of a combo

In combat, maintain the Combodenser's maximum combo for 10 seconds.

Equip the Combo Capacitor and seek out a fight with multiple enemies or a particularly tough one. First, attack until you reach the maximum combo.

Once it's fully charged, keep hitting continuously for 10 seconds . To prevent it from cutting off, avoid taking damage and try to stay close to enemies. Ideally, do this in an area with several opponents grouped together, so you can switch targets if one dies too quickly.

Shock tactics

Defeat a boss using a spark from the Sparkler trinket.

Equip the Sparkler before a boss fight. Lower the boss's health until it's almost defeated, then let a spark from the trinket deliver the final blow.

Don't finish him off with your main weapon.

Plasma tension

Fill your reserve tank with the Plasma Jar trinket with only 1 hit point.

Equip the Plasma Jar and leave Mina with only 1 hit point . Then, generate or collect enough plasma to completely fill the reserve tank.

To do this with less risk, look for a safe area or enemies that are easy to control. This way you can reload the tank without exposing yourself too much and avoid dying accidentally before the trophy pops.

July junkie

Defeat a boss with only one hit point, using only sub-weapons and the Julieringa.

Equip the Julieringa , enter a boss with 1 hit point and use only sub-weapons to deal damage.

Don't use your main weapon. Choose an easy boss or one you've practiced a lot.

Pendulum

For 10 attacks without getting hit using the Eludendulo trinket.

Equip the Eludendulo and find an enemy with repetitive attacks. You have to block 10 attacks without taking damage.

It's better to do it against a normal enemy than against a chaotic boss.

Traumatized

Dance with Poppit.

Find Poppit while exploring and interact with her until you trigger the dance. It's an interaction trophy, not a combat trophy.

Here you can watch the video on how to get the achievement/trophy.

masochist

Defeat a boss while carrying exactly 3 Bestium-type trinkets.

Equip exactly 3 Bestium-type trinkets before entering a boss fight. Then, simply defeat the boss while keeping those trinkets equipped until the end.

In this case, the important factor is the equipment you have when you win the fight. Therefore, it's best to choose an easy boss or one you already know well, to avoid making things more difficult than necessary.

Here you can watch the video on how to get the achievement/trophy.

Training

Sell ​​the maximum number of items at Casa Peñazo.

Gather sellable items during your cleaning session and take them to Casa Peñazo . You must sell until you reach the maximum allowed.

Don't do it on low percentage routes or special games.

Sinterillionaire

Convert more than 20.000 units at once in the Huesolito Sinter.

Accumulate more than 20.000 bone units before using the Bone Sinter . This way, you can perform the necessary conversion in one go.

Therefore, don't use it little by little during the game. It's best to save up enough resources and, when you exceed the required amount, perform a large conversion in a single action so that the trophy counts correctly.

Here you can watch the video to get the achievement/trophy.

Unbalanced

Increase one statistic up to 10 without the rest exceeding 3.

From the beginning, decide which stat you want to raise to 10 and don't distribute upgrades.

Keep all other stats at 3 or less until the main one reaches 10.

Juggler

Throw the children's can under the bridge.

Find the area where the children are playing with a can. Tap it gently to move it towards the bottom of the bridge.

There's no need to fight: just control the direction until the can is under the bridge.

Here you can see the full video with the location and how to get the achievement/trophy.

Below zero

Complete the game with -1% of the Collection or less.

This is one of the trickiest challenges. Play a game dedicated to keeping your collection percentage at -1% or less.

Avoid collecting items that increase the collection and don't combine it with a cleaning session.

Shock

Prove to Lena that you can jump 10 squares without touching the ground.

Find Lena and perform the jump in the designated area. You need to travel 10 squares without touching the ground.

Plan a route with enough space, use your movement skills and repeat until you succeed.
