Cathedral All Collectables Guide

Hey there!

If you just can’t find your last collectible of any kind I hope that I can help you out!
I made this guide because I could not find some of the collectables during my first time through the game and wished for a reference guide.
Also keep in mind: Nothing is missable, you can just play through the game. Once you want to mop up previous areas you can use this guide as a reference if you got stuck somewhere.

A complete reference map with all collectables is in the making and will be added once its finished.

You start the game with 3 Hearts, so there are 7 more Heart Containers to collect.

Cathedral: Right at the start of the game you have to fight your first Gargoyle. The reward for beating it rewards you a Heart Container.

Cathedral: Very soon after the previous Heart Container you can find this in a secret room accessed from the room where you were chased by a spike ceiling. Just reenter the room and slash away at the left wall until you find this secret room.

Necromancer’s Den: After you aquired the Lantern backtrack to where you first entered the area. Closeby is a burnable wall and hidden behind that is the next Heart Container.

Bone Church: Right before the Boss, hidden behind a fake wall to the left.

Sunken Temple: Before fighting the boss, climb straight up and then left to find this Heart Container.

There are two sword upgrades and 3 armor upgrades.
You can aquire your first sword upgrade in the lower parts of Shade Forest.
After you fight the Gargoyle Miniboss you are awarded Tanzanite, the first sword upgrade.In Tinkerton you are tasked with a quest where you have to succeed in two trials. Right after getting that quest you can speak with the man in front of the shrine in Tinkerton. He hints you to light the dragon statues with your green flame. After opening the door to The Void and reading the book in there you are awarded the second sword upgrade, Jade.The 3 armor upgrades can be bought each in one of the three shops in Ivystone Ridge, Blue Haven and Tinkerton. You have to own the previous tier before you can buy the next one.

There are 5 Ouroboros Amulets available. Each one reduces your lost gold on death by 1% for a maxium reduction to 5% (from 10%).
Three of them can be bought at the store of the villages (Ivystone Ridge, Blue Haven, Tinkerton).
