Inkshade Figurine Locations and Solutions

Using this guide, you can learn the locations and puzzle solutions of the figures in Inkshade, unlock all the collectibles, and complete the figure set.

All Figurine Locations & Puzzle Solutions

In Inkshade, players can collect a total of 36 figurines, scattered across different areas of the game. These collectibles are often hidden behind exploration puzzles, concealed in secret compartments, or placed within environmental challenges. This guide documents the location of every figurine, organized by the order in which they can be obtained, and provides puzzle solutions where necessary.

The figurines are arranged in the upgrade book under three regional categories:

• West Wing
  • Acolyte, Occultist, Knifethrower, Longstep, Nightslinger, Punisher, Voidcaller, Flammenmancer, Apothecos, Arbiter, Executioner, Wireweaver
• North Wing
  • Villager, Illuminary, Hunter, Mortuum, Lycanthrope, Dispellier, Skyshot, Corvusier, Dendralite, Farshot, Captain, Wretch
• East Wing
  • Squire, Lancer, Archer, Scholar, Saletist, Defender, Starseer, Guardian, Rider, Sorcerer, Knight, Monarch

When a figurine is collected, the game attempts to place it in its designated slot. If the slot is already filled, the figurine will be stored in the next available space.

The tutorial automatically provides the Wretch figurine, and requires players to gather three more to progress:
