Wuthering Waves: How to Find Hidden Collectibles Guide

Here's a quick guide on how to find hidden collectibles in Wuthering Waves.

There are hidden collectibles throughout the world of Wuthering Waves that can reward you with Astrites, crafting materials, exploration progress, and other useful items. Many are off the main track and you have to explore carefully to find them all.

Look Outside the Main Trails

Don’t restrict your travels to places connected to quests. Search behind buildings, around cliffs, in ruins, and on narrow paths. Developers tend to place collectibles in areas that players would not naturally pass through as they travel between objectives.

Check High Ground

When you are exploring, look up and down from your current position. Collectibles are located on rooftops, towers, cliffs, platforms, and other elevated places. Climb, glide, jump and use the Grapple Hook to reach places out of the way.

Search Underground Zones

Collectibles may be hidden in caves, tunnels, ruins and underground areas that are not visible on the surface. If you discover an uncharted area beneath you, try to find an entrance or any other method to go underground.

Use the Sensor

The Sensor is especially useful when searching unknown areas. Turn it on while exploring to find points of interest nearby and to check out anything unusual. The Sensor's normal use can help you to spot things in the environment that would otherwise be invisible.

Solve All Puzzles

Some of the collectibles are connected to environmental puzzles. Look around for any switches, levers, movable objects, targets or other interactive objects. Solving these puzzles may unlock rewards that were otherwise inaccessible.

Scout Enemy Camps

Enemy camps and guarded spots should be scouted. Or beating nearby enemies may unlock rewards or allow you to access areas with hidden collectibles. Clear a camp and carefully search the surrounding area.

Continue Exploration Quests

Side quests and exploration activities can lead you into areas with multiple collectibles. Don’t rush through objectives, complete them. Check out any nearby locations before moving on.

Explore During Free Time

You don’t need to find all of the collectibles on your first run through an area. If you're following the story, mark places of interest and return when you're ready to finish exploring.

Track Your Progress

Find places on the map you haven't yet fully explored. If the regional exploration percentage isn’t complete, then go to places you know have unexplored paths and search in areas you have previously bypassed.

The Bottom Line

You’ll need to spend some time exploring to find hidden collectibles in Wuthering Waves. Search high and low, use the Sensor, solve environmental puzzles and check out enemy camps and side quests. Exploring off the main path will reward you with more rewards and you will slowly build up your exploration.
