Proto Spark
Retains Bones on death. Earned through the Duke escort quest in Queensbury Crypt, it is one of the strongest early safety picks for learning new routes.
Trinkets & Sidearms
Mina the Hollower Trinkets Guide: Proto Spark, Best Builds & Sidearms
A Mina the Hollower trinkets guide covering Proto Spark, Vascular Syrup, Iron Lung, Ferrying Wisp, Pit Preserver, Flybait, and common Sidearms.
Vascular Syrup
Turns damage into a rolling health drain, buying time to react and heal. It is especially useful while learning boss patterns and dense rooms.
Iron Lung
Extends Plasma reserves for long rooms and high-pressure bosses. Equip it when attrition, not burst damage, is ending your route.
Ferrying Wisp
Lets Mina float briefly while airborne, helping with gaps, traps, and traversal-heavy routes where a missed jump costs health or time.
Pit Preserver
Lets Mina walk on spike hazards, making it powerful in routes where floor traps are the main source of chip damage.
Flybait
Helps with flying-enemy pressure. Consider it when aerial enemies keep interrupting safe attacks, healing, or route movement.
Sidearms
Common Sidearms to Save Joules For
Gyro Dagger
A boomerang-style blade that hits on the way out and back, useful for safe ranged pokes and lined-up enemies.
Volt Hatchet
An axe that releases chain lightning. Save it for groups, flying enemies, and rooms where one interruption can collapse the route.
Vial Pouch
A sustain-focused healing Sidearm for longer fights where extra recovery matters more than burst damage.
Iron Steed
A fast dash mount for races, traversal checks, and crossing large gaps toward secret routes.
Tormented Orb
Passively damages nearby enemies, reducing close pressure while you focus on dodging and positioning.
What happens when you die?
Death drops carried Bones and removes the equipped Sidearm. Banked Bone Stone remains safe, so spend or store resources before a dangerous route.
