Collectibles along the way
- Mushrooms · 7 in this chapter (as stated by sources) — All seven give the Forager achievement; locations include the camp corner, bridge corner, tent shelf, waterfall riverbank, lake corner, forest by the nook and the lava river area.
- Mugs · 8 in this chapter (as stated by sources) — All eight give the Collector achievement; found at the beach boat, the wooden cabin shelf, the nook table, the catacombs entrance and hallway, the Xorhi nest and the artifact room.
- Morphing Objects · 15 in this chapter (as stated by sources) — Chapter 1 holds 15 of the 45 in the game; they change appearance every few seconds, so watching a scene reveals them.

Commonly missed
- Mug in the lake area where Skimroot and the sleeping Drevolets are; AppGamer players report trouble picking it up.
- Morphing objects such as the camp tent flags, the grass under the bridge and the log end in the wooden cabin, which must be watched rather than tapped in passing.
- The manuscript inside the lake totem and the manuscript in the ruined boat chest, both on top of progression items.
- Items that cannot be taken until an earlier scene triggers the need for them, so AppGamer advises revisiting locations.
