Listen to the voices of the past and find out what happened to Nobodyville and Coalhaven as you traverse The Midnight Walk. Who exactly is the Soulfisher and what happened to the sun?

Where to find all The Midnight Walk Shellphones

This guide will be separated by chapter with images in chronological order to make it easier to obtain within a single playthrough. You can jump to any chapter from the main menu, but it will overwrite your progress. So it’s best to start looking for collectibles either from the start of the game or after finishing it. This way, you’re not missing out on learning the full story and seeing the ending.

Visit Housy whenever you want from the main menu (even after beating the game) to look at your collectibles, as most of the lore is delivered here. There are no Shellphones to find in The Tale of the Dark chapter.

This article is a work in progress.

Tale of the Burnt One

Shellphone	Collectible number	Location
What Were They Thinkin’	One	The first time you use matches to light three candles and open a door, the path splits in two, where a rickety wooden pathway leads to a dead end with the first Shellphone.
The Craftsmen	Two	You pick this up after the first time you send Potboy through a pipe to lower a bridge for you to walk over.
The Crawlers Eat Fire	Three	Pick this up before you drop down into the stealth section with Potboy, where you’re meant to use fire to lure the Crawler to the lit candle. There is one Crawler and Wardrobe in this small stealth section.

The Tale of the Loathsome Molgrim

Shellphone	Collectible number	Location
They Are Beautiful	Four	To lower the bridge for Housy to cross over, turn left and pick up the Shellphone, right before you and Potboy enter the crawlspace to continue the game.
Being researched	Five	Being researched
Surrender	Six	When you need to throw a match into The Dark Itself for the first time, this Shellphone is next to the match box in the same area.
The Moonbird	Seven	Find this when you enter Molgrim’s territory after Potboy flies you in.

The Dancing Three	Nine	In the large area where you need to put the three masks on the dancers inside Molgrim territory for one of the cauldron pieces.

The Tale of Coalhaven

Letter To Mother	14	In the dark cave with train tracks, where Potboy needs to light the way for you to escape, there’s a bird-looking candle you need to lit. Then there’s two paths on either side of you. Turn right from the candle and lit the next one to find the Shellphone.

It’s Just A Match	16	At the start of Coalhaven, next to the pit where you must throw a match into The Dark Itself.
