During Act 1, there are a handful of Wishes and items you can hunt down for rewards, and despite being mostly optional, some of them are very important! We recommend the following:

• The Lost Fleas – Collecting the first set of these allows you to skip a pretty tough boss fight.
• Flexile Spines – Unlocks an essential upgrade you need to progress.
• Volatile Flintbeetles – Gives you an item needed to unlock more Crest slots.
• Mask Shard (Health Upgrade) Locations – Survive longer by collecting these!
• How to Get the Wanderer Crest – Essential if you’re struggling with pogo-ing/bouncing on seed pods, flower buds, etc.
