Fast Answer
Mina the Hollower is a gothic action-adventure from Yacht Club Games with official PC and console availability, English and Chinese language support, 60 Trinkets, sidearms, bosses, secrets, modifiers, and New Game Plus. This wiki page keeps the stable facts in one place and routes deeper questions to dedicated guide pages.
Quick Facts
Confirmed Game Profile
The safest wiki foundation is the profile confirmed by primary sources. Mina the Hollower is developed and published by Yacht Club Games, the studio best known for Shovel Knight. Official material frames the game as a gothic action-adventure with top-down combat, burrowing movement, sidearms, trinket-based customization, secrets, and a launch date at the end of May 2026. Store pages and official announcements establish PC and modern console availability, while language listings confirm that Chinese support is part of the product.
Many early wiki-style pages overreach by filling every blank before enough players have verified the full route. A useful facts page should hold stable information, cite where it came from, and send unstable details to pages that can be updated as routes are confirmed.
Systems That Need Dedicated Pages
The major systems deserve their own pages because they map directly to search intent. Trinkets are a collection and build system. Sidearms answer combat options and secret interactions. Weapons answer playstyle fit. Bosses answer route order, damage windows, and preparation. Achievements reveal challenge goals, hidden completion paths, and tool needs. The map page turns named regions into a route tracker rather than a static paragraph.
The dedicated pages also make navigation clearer. Instead of one oversized wiki page trying to answer every question, this page points players to the right destination: trinkets for item tracking, bosses for fight prep, achievements for completion, and map for exploration.
What Is Still Being Verified
The launch-window data already includes many useful names, but full route certainty requires public playthroughs, screenshots, map captures, and repeated boss tests. Area names from item-location lists are treated as route leads. Public achievements are treated as strong signals, but hidden achievement requirements should not be guessed. Boss lists should distinguish confirmed named fights from elite enemies, minibosses, and achievement-only names until the community confirms order.
The update policy is therefore conservative: add a detail when it has a source, mark it as a lead when it is useful but not final, and promote it to verified once it has in-game evidence.

How This Guide Is Updated
This guide uses official Yacht Club Games pages, Steam listings, and publisher updates for stable facts such as release timing, developer, platforms, language support, Trinkets, sidearms, bosses, secrets, New Game Plus, and gameplay modifiers. Details such as exact room locations, hidden paths, boss order, and route efficiency are kept conservative until they can be checked through playthrough evidence.
When a detail is useful but not final, it is described as an area lead or verification note. That keeps the guide practical for early players without pretending that every secret room or boss route has already been solved.
