Missable Achievements — Read Before You Play

Several achievements can be permanently missed on your current save. All can be recovered in New Game Plus, but planning ahead avoids backtracking.

AchievementHow It Is MissedRisk Level
Children Rescue Feats Completing a dungeon without finding and rescuing all trapped children locks you out of the associated rewards and trophies for that dungeon on this save. High
Bone Keeper If you die and fail to recover your dropped spark before it disappears, you permanently lose your Bones on that death. The run no longer qualifies. You must never lose unrecovered Bones from start to finish. High
Off the Grid Enter the Underlab even once and this trophy is voided for that playthrough. You must complete the entire game without any Underlab visits. High
Bone Pincher vs Big Spender Bone Pincher requires finishing without spending any Bones in shops. Big Spender requires spending 50,000 combined. These are mutually exclusive in one save file — plan separate runs or NG+. Medium
Below Zero Requires ending the game at -1% collection or less. Conflicts with Fully Equipped and other collection trophies — best done on a dedicated run or separate save. Medium
Traumatized (and similar NPC events) Tied to specific NPC states (e.g., dancing with Poppit). If you advance past the trigger point without completing the event, you may need NG+ to access it again. Medium
Most-missed achievement: Children rescue feats. Players focused on reaching bosses often clear dungeons without checking every room. Use the All-Seeing Skull detector (available after Coltrane Peak) to find missed children in later dungeons.

Mina the Hollower Speed Runner Trophy — Under 4 Hours

Complete the game in under 4 hours. The timer counts in-game time, not real-world time — menu pauses and loading screens do not count.

When to Attempt

Attempt in New Game Plus after a complete first run. You carry over all trinkets, weapons, and upgrades, removing the need to grind resources. Boss pattern knowledge from Run 1 eliminates the learning curve that eats most of a first playthrough.

Run Setup

Keep no Hard Modifiers active during your speedrun attempt. Modifiers increase risk without reducing time requirement. Use your strongest build from Run 1 — Battery Buster or Dagger Storm with full Attack Bone Ups is ideal for fast boss kills.

Time Breakdown

Experienced players who know all areas and boss patterns can clear the game in approximately 3–3.5 hours. The 4-hour limit is deliberately permissive — you do not need to play optimally, just avoid getting lost or grinding sidecontent.

Key time saves: Skip all optional content (secret bosses, fishing, minigames). Activate only 3 mirrors (minimum required for Astral Orrery). Spend Bones only on essential combat upgrades. Skipping cutscenes where possible saves several minutes across a full run.

Mina the Hollower 100% Completion Roadmap — 2–3 Runs

Achieving Feat Accompli typically requires 2–3 targeted runs. Planning which achievements go in which run avoids the mutual exclusions and prevents repeating large sections.

Run 1 — Story + Missables + Collectibles

Target achievements: All story trophies, all children rescues, Fully Equipped, Fishin’ Reactor, Minigame Master, Renegade Roundup, Traumatized and other NPC events, Big Spender (50,000 Bones spent), Drag Race (fund train station), all weapon and sidearm skill feats.

Key discipline: Check every dungeon room for trapped children. Spend Bones freely — you are going for Big Spender, not Bone Pincher. Complete all optional side content and secret bosses. Buy the All-Seeing Skull after Coltrane Peak and use it in every dungeon.

Run 2 — New Game Plus: Speed Runner + Hardifier/Weirdifier

Target achievements: Hollowin’ Again!, Speed Runner (<4 hours), Hardifier (3 Hard Modifiers), Weirdifier (3 Weird Modifiers). You will likely need two separate NG+ runs for the speedrun (no modifiers) and the modifier runs (slower but feasible).

Key discipline: For Speed Runner — no modifiers, skip all optional content, 3 mirrors only. For Hardifier/Weirdifier — run them separately from the speedrun attempt; modifiers increase difficulty and risk failure.

Run 3 — Bone Keeper + Bone Pincher (if not completed)

Target achievements: Bone Keeper (never lose Bones), Bone Pincher (no shop spending), Below Zero (-1% collection), Off the Grid (no Underlab). These restriction challenges are easiest on separate focused runs with a specific plan rather than bolted onto a content-heavy run.

Key discipline: Bone Keeper — equip Bell of Grace and Proto Spark. Never enter a boss without spending all Bones first. Bone Pincher — no shops at all; requires pre-planning a no-economy path through the game.

Achievements FAQ

How many achievements are in Mina the Hollower?

50 achievements and trophies, shared across Steam and PS5. The platinum/100% meta achievement is called Feat Accompli and requires earning all other feats first.

What achievements are missable?

The most dangerous missable achievements are: children rescue feats (complete a dungeon without finding all children), Bone Keeper (lose your Bones once and the run is disqualified), Off the Grid (enter the Underlab even once), and specific NPC events like Traumatized. Bone Pincher and Big Spender are mutually exclusive in one save. Plan across multiple runs to avoid conflicts.

Is there a no-death achievement?

There is no trophy explicitly called "no-death," but Bone Keeper functions as the practical equivalent: complete the game without ever losing your Bones. If you die and fail to recover your dropped spark before it disappears, your Bones are permanently lost and the run is disqualified. Guides recommend Bell of Grace and Proto Spark trinkets to make this survivable.

What is the speedrun trophy requirement?

Speed Runner requires completing the full game in under 4 hours (in-game timer). Best attempted in New Game Plus with full upgrades from a first run. Keep all modifiers off during the attempt. Experienced players with knowledge of all areas and bosses can comfortably finish in 3–3.5 hours.

Do I need to defeat all secret bosses for 100%?

Yes. Renegade Roundup requires defeating five specific optional bosses: Armand, Maxi, Willis, the Dugin, and Evra. These are secret encounters tied to specific side-content triggers. See the bosses guide for individual unlock conditions.

What is the rarest achievement?

Hardifier, Weirdifier, Off the Grid, Below Zero, and Bone Keeper are all at approximately 0.3% completion on Steam. Feat Accompli (100% all feats) is expected to be in the same range or lower once the player base stabilises.

Can I get all achievements in one playthrough?

No. Bone Pincher (no shop spending) and Big Spender (spend 50,000 Bones) are mutually exclusive. Below Zero (-1% collection) conflicts with Fully Equipped. Hollowin’ Again!, Hardifier, and Weirdifier effectively require a second run. Plan a minimum of 2–3 targeted runs for full completion.

Does Fully Equipped cover all trinkets and sidearms?

Yes. Fully Equipped requires unlocking all Weapons, Trinkets, Cloaks, and Upgrades, which includes all 60 trinkets and all 15 sidearms. Steam completion rate is approximately 2.8% — it is achievable on a thorough first run but requires exploring every optional area and completing all dungeon content.
