Collectibles From Certain Enemies

BigBoi314 · June 2015

Is there a point to the collectibles you get from certain enemies? I can't move them from my inventory to my bank and I don't wanna sell them since they're unique items. Are they used for anything?

You "use" them to add them to your collection, and there are achievements associated with those collections. Having said that, I've heard that there's a console bug right now that doesn't allow you to "use" them from your inventory like you're supposed to (I can't confirm that as I'm a PC-only player), so if you're on console your best bet is to hang on to them until a patch fixes that bug.

XBox One, and there is no option to use some of them. I have the Chattering Skull and it doesn't allow me any choice but to destroy. I also have a spider egg, but I forgot to check it.

On the plus side, I have a light charm and a root which do work, though I have no idea what the root does. I click use, but all it does is envelop me in a green haze while I pray. I thought about destroying it, but maybe it has some purpose down the road.

@Violynne , Collectibles and trophy are different things. Trophies are awarded at the completion of some dungeon quests. Most of them have a graphic display or minor ability if you slot them and use them. They will stay in your inventory until you dispose of them ( which many do since they are not really worth the inventory space). Collectibles on the other hand are rare drops from specific creatures that can be consumed. Once used, or consumed, it is gone. It should be listed in your Journal under Trophies. Once a group of these is completed, you are awarded achievements and dyes.

Yup, I'm on the Xbone and it only gives me the option to destroy them.

Same with ps4, destroy only.

I'm pretty sure that 'destroy' is the console version of 'use' for PC. This was discussed an another thread, and a console user said the collectible showed up as completed in his achievements after destroying it. A good test would be on a Chattering Skull. Those seem to drop like candy, especially compared to some of the other items. It's a pretty safe bet that you will get another Chattering Skull if destroying does not add it to your achievements.

I've not seen any trophies in game yet, so I can't comment on it. But so far, I've had three Collectibles: 2 had Use options (a root and bear trap), and the Chattering Skull (which does not have anything but destroy).

I've been keeping the skull thinking it would fit somewhere in the game, since I can't transfer it to the bank to rid it from inventory. I'll try slotting it tomorrow to see what happens, and will update the result.

Are the menu items listed in the same manner between console and PC? I ask because these things have all been grouped under the Collectibles section of our inventory.

On console, I do believe that root and bear trap are trophies that you can actually do something with. The chattering skull is a collectible but it only gives us the option to destroy it, I don't even know if they can be sold.
