All of the cans are missable because of the 2 points of no return.
- The first point of no return happens after you finished the area Abyss Levoire. This locks you out of the area called Xion, so you need to make sure you’ve collected everything in Xion before attempting to head to Spire 4.
- The second point happens after you finish Spire 4 and head to the last area of the game. This locks you out of all areas and every single collectible, so you need to make sure you’ve collected everything before this point.

- Altess Levoire
- Abyss Levoire

Ghosti says
A question for can #37 Moonwell:
First off, kudos for figuring out you can appearantly fish for this one. Which bait do I need to use though?
ObsiEez says
It can be any bait, but a higher likelihood to catch it using Strange Bait
Selami says
Location for number 44 is incorrect.
ObsiEez says
The location was accidently swapped with $45, this has been corrected!
JoaLoft says
Cans #44 and #45 need to be switched, I’d like to point that out.
ObsiEez says
Thank you for pointing that out, the issue has been corrected
Selami says
Seems like number 44’s location is 45 and vice versa. Other than that, great guide. Thanks.
ObsiEez says
Thank you for pointing that out, the issue has been corrected
Xyzzz01 says
For can #2 the robot popped out, I didnt shoot him and came back later and the chest is open but the robot is nowhere to be found(searched all around the area). Am I locked out of this can until NG+?
ObsiEez says
I did this same thing during my playthrough. The target should still be there in 1 of the 3 locations in the screenshots. If you still can’t find it, you can come back in NG+ & just grab it then
Digweed says
Can #4 probably glitched. For me robot has stuck under the bridge after shooting out blocking beams. Game re-install did not solve the problem.
Taerear says
Can #41 can be reached with a single jump if jumping from the highest point of the small rock to the left of the ledge
Abo says
Can #37 – Moonwell
IS super missable thanks so much for the tip about fishing it
Draylane says
I opened the chest for can 5 but it’s not showing that I’ve collected it. I don’t know what other one it could’ve got swapped with. Will I have to try and get it on a NG+
