Full Transcript
[00:00] There are six special trinkets in Mina
[00:02] the Hollower, the different beastiums.
[00:04] And if you wield all six at once, you
[00:06] might just have something special
[00:08] happen. Want to know how to do it for
[00:10] yourself? Here's a guide for how to
[00:11] activate Mina's beast mode with all six
[00:14] Beastium trinkets.
[00:17] First things first, though, this is
[00:19] typically something you'll only be able
[00:20] to get after getting pretty far into the
[00:22] game. So, this is your courtesy spoiler
[00:25] warning.
[00:27] The warning BCM can be found in Oex, the
[00:30] courtyard of Radiant Manor. Head to the
[00:32] right and there's a large gap to cross.
[00:34] There are a few ways to go about this,
[00:36] but your best bet is to use the iron ste
[00:39] sidearm and carry the wisp trinket. The
[00:42] iron ste can be picked up inex just next
[00:45] to the blacksmith.
[00:51] Carry the wisp can be purchased from
[00:53] puppet's hidden shop in the southern
[00:54] outskirts.
[01:01] Line up the Iron Steed with the gap.
[01:03] Leap at the edge, then tap and hold jump
[01:05] to float with Carry the Wisp. And the
[01:08] warning beastium is just on the other
[01:09] side.
[01:14] The starving beastium can be found in
[01:16] Night's Rest, a section of Mner's Mile.
[01:19] There's a door here requiring three
[01:21] sparks to open. We'll include a link to
[01:23] our spark locations guide in the
[01:24] description below. Once you have three
[01:27] sparks, open the door to Mina's grave
[01:29] and lay inside. You're taken to a warped
[01:32] version of the surrounding area that's
[01:34] filled with danger. Carefully make your
[01:36] way around. We'd recommend having the
[01:38] protospark trinket equipped in case you
[01:40] get hit.
[01:42] Follow the path back to the same crypt
[01:44] where you started and your reward is the
[01:46] starving beastium.
[01:53] The volatile beastium can be purchased
[01:55] while riding the train, but only during
[01:58] a very specific route. Board the train
[02:00] from Bone Beach and ride to Knox's
[02:03] Bayou. This means you'll not only have
[02:05] to unlock the train, which is an
[02:07] expensive requirement to reach Cold
[02:09] Train Peak, but also have access to the
[02:11] train stations in both Bone Beach and
[02:13] Nox's Bayou. The beastium can be
[02:15] purchased from Vitus on the platform
[02:18] between sections of the train. The
[02:19] volatile beastium will be yours for 750
[02:23] bones.
[02:28] The draining beastium can be purchased
[02:30] in the Kindlewood. When you first enter
[02:32] the region, you'll have to battle
[02:33] against the mad house. Winning the
[02:36] battle opens up a shop inside, and the
[02:38] draining beastium can be purchased for
[02:40] 2,000 bones.
[02:48] The Burning Beastium can be found in
[02:50] Cold Train Peak. Early in the dungeon, a
[02:53] couple of screens past the first
[02:55] underlab, you'll find a hole you can
[02:57] burrow under to the east.
[03:00] Within it is a platforming challenge
[03:02] with ice and spikes. We recommend
[03:04] equipping the steady souls trinket to
[03:06] make this section easier, as it negates
[03:08] the ice physics. Carry the wisp may also
[03:11] be helpful.
[03:13] as well as the spike spurs to reduce
[03:14] spike damage.
[03:17] At the end of the platforming challenge
[03:19] is the burning beastium.
[03:23] The reckless beastium is found in the
[03:25] astral ory mirror's end. Regardless of
[03:28] which mirror you enter to reach the
[03:30] central hub, head to the east and you'll
[03:32] find Dr. Knot, an NPC who is apparently
[03:35] missing his brain. There are a few
[03:37] brains lying around for some reason, but
[03:40] his brain is hidden away. Break the wall
[03:43] just north, and at the end of the
[03:45] section is the real brain you're looking
[03:46] for. The gap is a bit wide, so you'll
[03:49] need something extra to get you over
[03:50] there, such as carry the wisp so you can
[03:52] float across, but anything that can
[03:55] expand your movement options should work
[03:56] here. Bring it back to Dr. KN and throw
[03:59] the brain at him to slot it back into
[04:01] his head. Your reward will be the
[04:03] reckless beastium and a hint about using
[04:06] all of them together. H
[04:09] Once you have all six Beastium trinkets,
[04:11] there's actually one more step,
[04:13] equipping all six at once. That means
[04:16] you need six trinket slots. Here's a
[04:18] quick rundown of where to find all five
[04:20] upgrades. Three of them can be purchased
[04:22] from the Emporium in Oex, with each one
[04:25] more expensive than the previous. One is
[04:28] obtained in the Eastern Heath just
[04:30] outside of AX. After clearing your first
[04:32] dungeon and spark generator, Maxi will
[04:34] be waiting for Mina here. Defeat Maxi
[04:37] and your reward is a trinket bag. The
[04:40] last trinket bag is found in Astroi
[04:42] Mirror's End to the west. You'll have to
[04:44] have unlocked the mirror in at least
[04:46] September to get here, and you'll need
[04:48] to spend a year to access the upgrade.
[04:50] Once you have all of these, you'll be
[04:52] able to equip six trinkets at once. Once
[04:55] you head to an underlab and equip all
[04:57] six beastium trinkets at the same time,
[04:59] they'll flash. Drink a vial and Mina
[05:02] will activate beast mode. Here, your
[05:04] weapon and sidearm are replaced by a
[05:06] melee attack. If you attack three times,
[05:09] your third attack will change depending
[05:10] on how long you wait to use it,
[05:12] indicated by the weapon icon in the
[05:14] lower left. If you attack immediately,
[05:16] Mina will unleash a small wave ahead of
[05:18] her to deal a lot of damage. If you wait
[05:20] for a short moment, you'll see the icon
[05:22] change to a small tornado. Finish your
[05:25] attack combo during this time to instead
[05:27] perform a powerful AoE spin. Your
[05:30] sidearm is a fireball, and if you
[05:32] activate it in midair, it's a dash
[05:33] attack. There are two things to note
[05:35] about beast mode. One is that you cannot
[05:38] use vials to heal, as they'll simply
[05:40] return Mina back to normal. And the
[05:42] second is that all of the individual
[05:44] beastium trinket effects do not apply
[05:46] when used together in beast mode.
[05:50] And that's how you find all six beastium
[05:53] trinkets to activate beast mode. This
[05:55] form is very powerful. Will you be using
[05:58] it in your playthrough? Make sure to let
[06:00] us know down in the comments. And for
