Introduction

Hey, welcome to my guide! This guide will cover every single secret in the game. Items that I feel are easy to find (such as modules marked on your map or gearbits that you'll run into naturally) won't be covered. I decided to write the guide using mostly pictures, as that is how the story of the game is presented, and I think most of the secrets are fairly self explanatory (I'm also not very good with words).

Any feedback is greatly appreciated, as well as the locations of anything I've missed.

Enjoy!

Note: I didn't get the modules marked on my map until I got half of these so there's gonna be more than 4 (plus even the ones on your map are pretty well hidden).

April 7th Patch Gearbits
If you made your save after April 7th, this section probably won't apply to you. These 9 gearbits are enemy drops that were added in a patch to help ease players into the game. I added this section is so people who started before the April 7th patch don't have to go through the whole game to find them.

i used the site https://anishlr.github.io/HyperLightDrifterLocator/ to get my last Gearbit but i dont know where is the last one, the site show me this video on 9:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVg-tbkVNro#t=9m) but i dont know where it is :(

I posted the save on the gearbit finder it says I'm missing 25 gear bits but it lists all the boss gearbits, so I'm confused cause I'm pretty sure I couldn't have missed those, and they aren't in the boss rooms when I go check them?(I play on linux, idk if that makes any difference) Any idea what this is? (I already got the achievement years ago, so I don't have any way to officially confirm if I've actually got all the bits.

Great guide, thank you.

regarding the 'special edition' (ios) does anyone know how many gearbits you should be left with after all weapon and ability upgrades? As of right now i have 5 and a half gearbits left after upgrading everything and i've literally searched everywhere but the achievement still hasn't popped. The only thing i have left to do is beat the final boss. Any help would be much appreciated!
