Duskfade Collectibles

Gears are power; hearts are survival

Upgrade Gears are the only confirmed spendable upgrade currency. They are not a rarity ladder and they are not a multi-weapon pool. Spend them on the three trees in Tick Town — details live on upgrades. Clock Heart Pieces sit beside that loop, not inside it: three pieces add one pip, and the max-health achievement proves the set is finite even while the published number stays TBA.

Cosmetics and errands are different piles

Rainbow Ingots change how Minutero looks. Music Boxes are an Arpeggio errand. Cards are a collection row. None of those three raise your health bar. If a fight is hard, leave the pretty pile and take the pip. The next section is the visit-one rule, not another type list.

The expensive mistake is skipping hearts

A missed Clock Heart Piece is a smaller health bar for every later boss. A missed kitten is a cleanup pin. Bosses still add a platform exam at every 25% HP — extra pips matter more than a complete card binder. Combat payoff: combat.

Tracker in-game, coordinates not here

Coverage mentions per-level tracking. This page will not invent room names or XYZ. If your HUD disagrees with a community region title, trust the HUD. Region names in the next table are community-observed labels from 100% videos, not official map copy.

Other titles you may see

Playlists also name a Great Library / Scriptorium stretch and other maps. Those stay off this table until they are captured in-game. Do not stitch fan titles into a numbered route. Map geography: locations.

Hub is a collectible zone too

Tick Town is not “done” after hour one. New gadgets reopen hub ledges the same way they reopen biomes. Come home after a region to spend gears, then walk the streets you could not reach. The backtrack rule is the next section — it is the real 100% skill.

Gadgets spend Temporal Energy

Gadgets are not a second weapon. They sit on a Temporal Energy bar that refills when you deal damage. Maxing that bar is its own achievement — it is not a collectible type on this page. Kit and inputs: abilities. First-hours chain: beginner guide.

Do not import an RPG checklist

Some unofficial pages invent gear rarity, classes, and multi-weapon pools. Those are not this game. If a list names a pickup that is not in the type table above, mark it unverified. Named hunts — kittens, Wally, glass — are the next layer, not more currency.

Kittens are Tailord’s errand

Be my muse! is the story beat that helps Tailord leave the Academy. Come here right meow is the full catch. Do not conflate them. Talk to Tailord when the Academy is open; hunt cats on a cleanup pass when movement tools exist. Character notes: characters.

Wally is a hide-and-seek row

No peeking! asks you to find all of Wally’s hiding spots. Community clips treat it as a dedicated hunt, not something you finish in Tick Town hour one. If you walk past a suspicious hide, pin it. Do not stall a chain boss for one Wally.

Stained glass is Gramps’ secret

Broken stained glass is the collectible that community hunts attach to Master XII’s Secret. Pickup locations are recorded in dedicated clips; this wiki will not paste unverified pins. Do the story beats that involve Gramps first (The final star is a separate help-across-the-Veil row), then run glass as its own pass.

Hunts exist because trophies exist. The last table maps which pickups actually lock a Steam row.

Story trophies are not collectibles

Breaking Tick Town’s Temporal Anchor, finding the Clockwork Academy, opening the Tower doors, escaping with Allira, and reuniting with Cuckoo are story rows. They sit on achievements and the walkthrough, not in this type table.

One-playthrough is the default plan

Trophy writeups treat Duskfade as a single playthrough with backtracking. Community platinum notes sit around 9–12 hours if you clean after the story. Keep a save before the Clock Tower until missables stay “none” on your build. Path: platinum.
