All 10 Rainbow Ingot locations

Use this ordered list to compare your save against the verified route. The first two are shop purchases; the remaining eight are stage pickups.

○ Tick Town #1 — available from the Blacksmith after the Prison of the Beast boss clear.○ Tick Town #2 — another Blacksmith purchase after the Veiled Chambers boss clear.○ Erazus Forest — return with the Grappling Hook; backtrack from fast travel and use the two grapple balloons to reach the chest.○ Mount Cinder — after the first checkpoint, look up after the third spinning-flame platform for a grapple route across the lava.○ Meridian Village — return with the Pendulum; use the purple-door challenge in the second settlement before fast travel.○ Great Library — early main-path chest below the fast-travel point; clear the surrounding enemies first.○ Canal Hamlet — after the bridge, go beneath the nearby arch, pass the purple doorway, and finish the short platform route.○ Auric Palace — use the third rotating gear platform near the end to reach the coliseum-side rail route.○ Deepthorne — return with the Wings; climb from fast travel to the rooftops, use the boost rings, then clear the purple-door platform challenge.○ Desert of the Last Memory — near the end, reach the roof of the gear-raised building, turn back to the purple door, fly across, and clear the combat room.

Three ability-gated Ingots to leave for later

Erazus Forest, Meridian Village, and Deepthorne are explicit return visits in the verified route. If you cannot reproduce the path yet, check your tool progression before assuming the collectible is missing or bugged.

○ Erazus Forest — Grappling Hook.○ Meridian Village — Pendulum.○ Deepthorne — Wings.

Do not forget the two Tick Town purchases

The easiest way to finish at 8/10 is to count only stage chests. Two Ingots are tied to Blacksmith stock in Tick Town after specific boss clears, so treat shop progression as part of the collectible route.

○ Prison of the Beast boss clear → check Blacksmith stock.○ Veiled Chambers boss clear → check Blacksmith stock again.

Best cleanup order

Complete the main route until your movement tools are available, then sweep stage Ingots by fast-travel order and finish with the Tick Town purchases if you have not already bought them. Mark each entry immediately using the browser checklist above.

○ Early backtracks: Erazus Forest, Mount Cinder, Meridian Village.○ Mid cleanup: Great Library, Canal Hamlet, Auric Palace.○ Late cleanup: Deepthorne and Desert of the Last Memory.○ Final audit: both Tick Town purchases.

Achievement troubleshooting

Steam achievement wording confirms an all-Ingots requirement. If completion does not trigger, recount the two purchases separately from the eight stage pickups, then verify the Grappling Hook, Pendulum, and Wings routes before treating the save as a technical issue.

VERIFICATION NOTE

The all-Ingots objective is backed by the released Steam achievement list. The ten-item route, shop gates, and traversal requirements were cross-checked against dated community route evidence reviewed Aug 23, 2026.

Common questions

How many Rainbow Ingots are in Duskfade?+

The currently verified completion route contains 10: two bought in Tick Town and eight found in stages.

Why am I stuck at 8/10 Ingots?+

First check the two Tick Town Blacksmith purchases, because they are progression-gated and easy to forget when counting stage chests.

Are any Ingots ability-gated?+

Yes. The verified routes explicitly require the Grappling Hook for Erazus Forest, the Pendulum for Meridian Village, and the Wings for Deepthorne.
