The Wasteland is the first open world region. This region does feature a world map unlike some other regions. There are a total of 178 collectibles in this area, all of which become missable after the second point of no return, which happens after completing the area “Spire 4“, then talking to Lily to progress to the last area, so make sure you collect everything before then. You also won’t be able to collect everything in this area until you get the ability to double jump a little later in the game. The last section of the game also takes place in the Wasteland, some collectibles are locked behind there.
In order to activate camps in this area, you’ll need to complete the mission “Reboot“, which you’ll get once you interact with your first camp. Any camp you interact with before completing the mission will automatically activate once you finish the mission.

ObsiEez says
The one is present in the guide in the “After acquiring double jump” section since in the version we played, the ladder didn’t have a hitbox at the bottom, so you needed double jump to get up there

I’m missing one Memory Stick in the Wasteland, the seventh of the second row, does anyone know which one it is?
Rinzwind says
scavenger 131
Soily9 says
“Can #8 – Pixie Zero” seems to be glitchy for many people (including me). Basically, you shoot the metal beams to free the robot, but the robot stays down and never goes back up to give you your well-deserved reward.
It might happen when you shoot the metal beams from the right side rather than going down on the left side closer to the robot before shooting them. At least, that’s what I did (I shot from the right side), and it glitched on me.
Note : It happened to me on the retail version (1.0), but since many people got that glitch, we can probably assume that the bug is still there with the day one patch.
TriplEEE13 says
Any help with Box #38? I have looked all around that spot on the map and cannot find that box for the life of me.
ObsiEez says
From the area with the previous collectibles where you jump across the rocks, there will be a pathway that sort of leads downward around the cliff side, it’s down there
dio9 says
Watch out when trying to reach Box #37! You may get stuck on the rubble (fall on a hole) and be forced to restart from the last checkpoint!
Rinzwind says
