Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty contains 99 Collectible Locations. This collectibles guide shows all collectibles in each Main and Side mission sorted by recommended level order. Everything needed for 100% game completion and all trophies is included here. There are the following types of Collectibles:
- 31 Tablets – Well-read
- 23 Shitieshou – How Precious!
- 22 Health Upgrades (7 Dragon Vein Crystals and 15 Dragon Vein Essences) – Pots and Potions
- 21 Golden Cicada Shells – Ascension
- 2 Keys
None of the collectibles are missable! You can pick up everything after the story by replaying the relevant missions. Collectibles register as soon as you pick them up, no need to finish the mission. Tablets are found in the wild as glittering gold loot and can be returned to the villager found in the hut opposite the straw silo in the center of Mt. Tianzhushan (hub area). The Shitieshou are small panda cub demons that can be fed with any equipment piece for a random reward in return. Once they’re fed they move to the bamboo area in Mt. Tianzhushan. The Health Upgrades are needed to extend the number of Dragon’s Cure Pots and how much health you can restore per use. Golden Cicada Shells are found in the wild as glittering gold loot and can be returned to the Hermit found atop the tallest tower in Mt. Tianzhushan. Once you find all 20, he then drops a tablet. The 2 Keys are necessary to access an NPC’s house found in Mt. Tianzhushan and find a Dragon Vein Essence.
