You’ll likely see the magnifying glass icon above several items as you run around exploring the various maps inMudborne, and not only is this your cue to check out the item in question, but it’s your peek at the history of the pond and the mystery of where everyone has gone.
By using your magnifying glass on key clues and items throughout Mudborne, you’ll unveil some helpful hints on what to do next, as well as keep track of the frog traits needed to open the Reflection Pools that lead you between the waking and dream worlds in Mudborne.
Your Scrapbook Tracks Lore And Important Goals
Regardless of which area of the map you’re exploring in Mudborne, there will be plenty to see and do - you’ve got mushrooms to cultivate, frogs to breed, and so much more going on at once. Thankfully,the Compendium is thereto guide you along in Mudborne’s story, but if you’re looking for little hints along the way, the Scrapbook might just have what you need.
The Scrapbook isbroken down by map, with each area having around a dozen different things for you to find there. At the top of the Scrapbook screen, which you can access bypressing the N button, you’ll see a total percentage of how many pieces for the Scrapbook you’ve found so far overall. When you enter any new area of the map, a recently unlocked building, or any map you’ve entered using a Reflection Pool to move between worlds, you’ll often see amagnifying glass icon above itemsaround the room.
After you’ve viewed an item while exploring the worlds in Mudborne, you’ll log it into the Scrapbook automatically, where you can review your findings at any point. If something doesn’t make sense, or provides a clue you can’t act on yet, you can always revisit the piece after logging it.
The main items you’ll see with this icon are:
Additionally, you’ll also be logging spaces for thedifferent machine blueprints, since these often come withnotes from the frogswho were here before you on tips for using their machinery. If you’re not quite sure how a blueprint works before you buy it from Ribbert, this is a good place to check.
Finally, you’ll also find a section at the very end of the Scrapbook labeledMiscellaneous. We won’t spoil too much for you, but these are the pieces that you find in the realms you reach throughthe Gateway Nexus portals. Check the portals that seem to lead to odd places while you’re exploring the Nexus - if there’s not a corresponding portal in the regular worlds, this may be an important place to check for Scrapbook clues.
