19 coins: locations and prerequisites

Check the found count, not only remaining money. Even after buying shoes, finding all 19 opens access to the final heart below Sneaker Hut.

Location	Collection action	Requirement	If missed
Starting house	Break the pot	Sword	The first coin. Time the pickup if targeting PUNCTUAL
Small island northwest of the Bar	Push 2 waterside boxes into footholds and reach the chest	Coffee. Flippers also works if you can swim	Drop the boxes into the water first
Hidden passage in the snake cave	At the position corresponding to the ground's X mark, pass the western hidden wall to the chest	Flashlight	A cave side path, not the normal exit
Waterfall north of the starting house	Swim upriver behind the waterfall and open the chest	Flippers	Separate entrance from the cave
Below the Bar: northern island	Strike the pot near the shop to enter the sewer. Defeat all northern bats and take the chest beyond the opened path	Sword / Flippers	Check northern-room enemies if the door remains shut
Below the Bar: southern waterway	After the northern enemies, swim south through the left waterway to another chest	Flippers	Separate from the northern island coin
Treasure Island off the lighthouse	Swim west from the lighthouse, then 2 screens south to the island chest	Flippers	Go west before turning south. Watch offshore sharks
Quicksand north of the sign-maker	Stop moving on the sand, sink underground and reach the chest	An accessible route	Retry to return home after collecting
Outside Sneaker Hut	Strike the large rubbish container	Sword	Separate from shopping inside
West of Sneaker Hut	Open the breakable wall and reach the side-path chest	Sword	Go beyond the wall
Ruins northeast of Sneaker Hut	Reach the chest around the ruined truck/scorpion area's perimeter	Route to the ruins	Avoid enemies and search the outer passage
East of Secret Temple	Finish the fire-extinguishing trial without damage	Watering Can	Damage closes the door. Recover and try again
North of Secret Temple	End a life in this room once from each of the 4 homes	Starting house, Caravan, Hotel and island house	Chest beyond the vanished northern barrier
Storeroom behind Hotel	Follow the building's right-rear edge from outside, pass the boxes and break the pot	Coffee / Sword	Not a front-door or guest-room item
Bandits north of Hotel	After rescuing the guest, defeat bandits 3 times with separate lives between	Sword	The guest returning safely and coin condition are separate
Factory waiting room	Join the queue and wait about 30 seconds near the plant	Factory qualification	Do not strike the plant; wait for it to break naturally
Factory delivery area	Enter the large cargo truck's open bed and reach the chest	Factory passage	Truck interior hidden from outside
Factory drill route	Destroy both support arms, then strike the drill to make it dig	Post-shutdown factory route	Check beside the new tunnel
Beyond the southern mine conveyor	Break the obstructing box with Grinder, then go south to the chest	Grinder	Branch along the Trophy route

6 hearts: watch separate-life conditions

The plant needs watering over 3 lives; the shop reward needs 19 coins. For Bone delivery, check that you have switched from the ordinary Sword to the carried item.

Location / target	Action	Requirement	Notes
Plant west of the starting house	Water once per life with Watering Can, across 3 lives	Watering Can	Repeated watering in one life does not finish it
Bull east of the snake-cave exit	Lure its charge into a rock and attack with the Sword while it stops	Sword	Do not remain in front of its charge
Dog at the starting house	Deliver Bone from the cemetery north of Hotel	Route to Bone's cemetery	Travel is easier after opening the teleport network
Hidden grave west of the cemetery	Push the wall-like rock and enter the area beyond	Route to the cemetery	Separate from Bone at the cemetery front
South of Secret Temple	Maintain speed and reach the maze's back	Fast Shoes	Hitting walls costs time
Sneaker Hut basement	Find all 19 normal coins, then buy the final heart	19 coins and route underground	Buying shoes earlier differs from finding all 19

8 tentacles: strike with the Sword to record

Seeing a tentacle alone does not collect it. Use thrown swords across gaps, face the right direction on the ship and watch sharks/box footholds in waterways. Finally return to Octopus for Turbo Ink.

Location	Access	Requirement	Striking caution
Desert-side shore	Check the shore south of Caravan, on the snake/skeleton screen	Move into sword range	Strike the tentacle visible from land
Shore near the Camera building	Go west from beyond the archers and push boxes into water	Coffee / Sword Thrower	Throw the Sword at the distant tentacle from a box edge
Aboard the island-bound ship	Give Boatwood, sail and swing at the tentacle along the way	Boatwood	Face the water before passing it. Try the next voyage if missed
Water room below the Bar	Enter the sewer and follow the water-room perimeter counterclockwise	Flippers	Use floating boxes as staging points; do not stay in the shark-filled center
West of Secret Temple	Swim north from Octopus's room	Flippers	Strike the northern-room tentacle, not Octopus
Treasure Island off the lighthouse	Stand on the island's east shore and strike	Flippers	Collect the same island's coin too
South of the island's basement teleport maze	Go south beyond the teleport pad; teleport to the far side of the box and drop it into water	Basement Key / Coffee / Sword Thrower	Use the box as a foothold to throw the Sword
Factory water cooler	Strike the eastern factory water dispenser with the Sword	Entry with Camera / Press Pass	Not an outdoor shore. Check inside the dispenser

Combine collection into return trips

Group routes into three categories: pre-Flippers land, island/teleport network, and post-shutdown optional factory paths, to reduce repeated visits.

Increase land coin finds and secure Fast Shoes.
After Flippers, return to the waterfall, sewers and offshore lighthouse area.
Combine ship tentacle → island key → terminals to open the teleport network.
After factory shutdown, check Grinder, mine coin, Trophy, delivery area and drill.
Finish the 4 temple rooms, Octopus report and final shop heart.

Coverage and unconfirmed details

This guide centers on normal PC mode's main route and collection tables. Second Run has a ten-stage ending route, changed collectibles, and Grinder/Trophy supplements, but mode-specific acquisition of every item, all 19 coins and six hearts, and all south-temple shortcuts remain unconfirmed.
Actual hardware play, button layouts on every platform, and behavior in each latest build have not been tested. PC and PlayStation sources conflict on damage invulnerability in Mary's Mode, so version-specific checking is pending. PC reports of only the shop's final heart persisting are not asserted to apply to every platform.
Some external sources could not be cross-checked because fetching their body returned HTTP 403 or an error page. The 25-character checks against retrieved text are distinguished from the treatment of unretrieved sources.
This does not cover every technical issue, such as save repair or Cloud conflicts. Only checking procedures that prioritize a safe backup are included.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 Cannot collect the quicksand coin ▼

Stop moving on the sand north of the sign-maker. Open the chest after sinking into the room, then retry to return.

Q2 Striking the factory waiting-room plant gives no coin ▼

Join the queue and wait about 30 seconds. This acquisition requires waiting for it to break naturally without striking.

Q3 I passed the ship tentacle ▼

Try again on the next voyage. Face the water and swing during the brief passage beside it.
