Where to find all the pillars of knowledge and hidden faces in Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2

There is no loot or other consumables in Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 , but you can still collect some items. All of them are secret, so they are hidden in secluded places. In this guide we will describe the location of Hellblade 2 collectibles.


What can you collect

In total, the developers have prepared two types of secrets. The first are runic totems (pillars of knowledge), which were also in the previous part. As Senua approaches them, she must concentrate to hear one of Druth's legends. There are 18 of them in the game. When you find everything, you will receive the achievement "Tales of Midgard" .


The second type of foragers are trees hidden on secret paths behind hidden faces (faces). Here the task is somewhat more difficult, as you will have to peer into the relief to see the outlines of faces in the stones. As soon as you focus your gaze on them, the stones will turn into a path that will lead to the plant. Focus on it again and the tree will bloom. There are 17 of them in the game, and for finding them all you will receive the Gaze of the Gods trophy .


There is a small hint that will help you figure out if you have collected everything you need. The runes themselves on the totems are in order. They light up when you focus. Accordingly, if between two burning runes there are several dark ones, that’s exactly how many totems you missed. The situation is similar with trees - a spiral with dots is drawn on them. Each new tree lights a point on this spiral also in order.


When you complete the game, you will be able to see the item found counter for each chapter. This will also help you revisit those moments where you were inattentive.
