Join Quill, a tiny mouse with big aspirations, as we explode the world of Moss and grab every single Relic Dust collection. There are 375 specks of Relic Dust to collect — and they’re all found in ‘breakable’ objects. Anything you can smash with a sword swing is a breakable. That includes pots, crates, vases, and more objects you’ll encounter as you fight to save your lost uncle.
Instead of going it alone, Moss gives you control as the storyteller. An omniscient figure watching each page of illustrations, you can help Quill with your storyteller powers. You can heal Quill, smash obstacles with your orb, or take control of enemies. You’ll need those powers to solve puzzles and help Quill achieve her destiny — and the more Relic Dust you collect, the more trophies you’ll unlock. For finding all the Relic Dust, you’ll get the ‘Dust Collector I’, ‘Dust Collector II’, and ‘What Remains of Power’ trophies.
