There are two types of collectibles to find inSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.Lorestangir are rune-marked poles that trigger memories of Senua’s mentor Druth, while Hidden Faces conceal traces of the gods and other mystical creatures. Both are optional, but finding them lets you learn more about the lore and legends of the game’s world.

Many of the early collectibles, found in the first two chapters of the game, are hiding in plain sight. They’re easy to find if you know where to look, but it’s equally possible that you could walk right by them.

A stang (or stong, depending on the dialect being used) is a staff or pole, sometimes used for marking locations or measuring distances. Hence,lorestangirare “lore-staves.”
