Beckoning Collar Sidearm Guide for Mina the Hollower

Overview

Complete guide for Beckoning Collar in Mina the Hollower. Learn the effect, Joule cost, location and best use cases.

Ossex area.

Use Beckoning Collar for resource routing, exploration comfort, and puzzle or traversal moments that need a specific tool.
Treat its 3 Joule cost as a safety trade: spend when it prevents damage, saves a long chase, or confirms a route-critical hit.
Best fit: utility loadouts that need Summons floating ally that provides offense and draws aggro.
It is strongest when the Sidearm solves a concrete route problem: a flying target, awkward switch, dangerous approach, or cleanup check that would otherwise slow the room down.

Location/progression note: Ossex area.
Refill and test the timing near an Underlab before using it in a long cleanup route.
Pair it with a weapon that covers the opposite range, so failed shots do not leave Mina without a safe punish.
If the route has multiple refills, spend it more freely; if the next refill is uncertain, save it for hazards that reliably cause damage.

Current metadata tags it as Utility and affects Sidearm, Passive Effects.
Extra Stat Level metadata: Attack 0, Defense 0, Sidearm 3.
