The Plucky Squire: All Lost Glitchbird locations
A single Glitchbird is usually hidden in each Chapter of The Plucky Squire. The exceptions to this rule are Chapter 9, which has two, and Chapter 10, which has none.
The first one is a Freebee, and the rest are much harder to find. Here’s every location in chapter order.
Chapter One
The first Glitchbird is in the open and is honestlyhard to miss. On the off chance you didn’t see it on your first go, the Glitchbird issitting by a rockshortly after you meet Martina.
you may pick the bird up before you meet Thrash and jump down the cliffside.
Chapter Two
The Glitchbird is hiddenbehind a stone structure, which becomes invisible when you walk behind it. You can find the structure on the same two-page spread as the words “This Strange Electricity Was Spawning Monsters!”
Chapter Three
Chapter Three is very brief, but there’s still a Glitchbird to be found. During the tutorial where you are taught to manipulate pages, grab Moonbeard’s Soda from his house as usual.
Before exiting via the portal, walk to the left page and into the house. You’ll find the third Glitchbird sitting on the ground.
While you’re here,don’t forget to snag the Art Scroll in the top right cornerof the right page, as it’s easy to miss.
Chapter Four
The Glitchbird in Chapter 4 is one of the most well-hidden collectibles in the game. Play through the Chapter as usual and beat the minigame where you shoot flies with the Elven Bow.
The Glitchbird is on theblack page next to the Snail Housebut is inaccessible from the same spread. Instead, progress to the page in the image above and leave via the portal.
Manipulate the book, and turn the pages back until you find the Snail House. If youstand in the center of the left page, a Portal will appear with the Glitchbird inside.
Chapter Five
You will find another Glitchbird up for grabs after you’vecollected every Rubboink in Artiaand gained access to the castle.
When you reach the Castle lobby, head to the left as far as you can. You can see a Glitchbird in a room, but the guard won’t let you through to reach it.
Fortunately,there’s a secret entrance. Ignore the guard, return to the middle of the lobby, and approach from the north instead. You can just make outthe edge of a doorframe(pictured). The entrance is barely visible, but you can collect the Glitchbird from here without any trouble.
If you travel all the way to the right of the courtyard, there’s also a Lost Art Scroll up for grabs behind the large gold tack.
Chapter Six
The Chapter 6 Glitchbird is temperamental andcaused a soft-lockin my game the first time I went for it.
This bug will no doubt be fixed, but here’s a step-by-step method to avoid the bug.
You can’t find the Glitchbird until youreach a door made of unbreakable vines. This event prompts Moonbeard to contact you.
Grab this mushroom (pictured) and use the Portal by the sealed door to leave the book. Manipulate the book andbacktrack several pagesuntil you reach Moonbeard’s basement.
Talk to Moonbeard, and he will turn your Mushroom into an explosive.
At this point,flip the pages back instead of forwardsand re-enter the book at the page with the block of cheese.
Walk down and off the page into a scene with a door covered in vines.Throw the explosive at the doorto claim your hard-earned Glitchbird.
I tried to do this with the second explosive potion you’re given, and it vanished as I turned the pages, soft-locking the game so that no more explosives would spawn.
If you run into this issue,quickly pause the game and return to the main menu.
Hover over your save file anduse the button at the bottom of the screento load a previous file. The Plucky Squire saves your five previous Auto Saves, which should be far back enough so you’re able to revert to a state before the bug.
Chapter Seven
The Chapter 7 Glitchbird is hidden in plain sight, trapped behind heavy blocks you can’t move.
You canfree the Glitchbird with a Bomb Stamp. The issue is you won’t have the Stamp ability until you’ve progressed deep into the chapter.
Once you have the stamp in your inventory, you canreturn to the page to free the bird. Timing is vital for this one, as you can’t return to this area if you complete the chapter.
Remember to use the Bomb Stamp while you’re outside the book. You can re-enter the page from the far side of the bridge.
Chapter Eight
The Chapter 8 Glitchbird iseasily missed as it’s off the screen. After you defeat the mage in the Wizard battle as Violet, head to the next screen.
Before you enter the castle, walk to the left, and you’ll find the Glitchbird under a tree.
Chapter Nine – First Glitchbird
Chapter 9 is unique, as a pair of Glitchbirds are up for grabs, andboth are well hidden.
Play through the chapter as usual until you meet Pip next to an office. This event occurs shortly after you escape the energy beam.
When Pip finishes talking, walk through the wall and into the control room they came from. Walk to the wall on the left, and a secret room will appear with a Glitchbird inside.
Chapter Nine – Second Glitchbird
There’s a second Glitchbird in Chapter 9 hidden just inside Palace Humgrump. This area is very deep in the Chapter afterthe Big Switch puzzle. Take the narrow corridor to the right as you enter the palace Courtyard, then to the inkwell structure with the valve on top.
If you walk behind it, the structure will disappear, revealing the last Glitchbird in the game.
If you want to 100% complete The Plucky Squire, you mustcollect every Art Scroll too. The Scrolls are much more straightforward to find than the Glitchbirds but are easier to miss as there are so many.
