Trine experience and treasure guide: upgrades and replaying levels
Track experience, treasure chests and useful return visits in the original campaign.
Pictures for this guide
Edition covered
The 2009 Trine campaign. The gallery and cover show the later Enchanted Edition remake of that campaign, using Frozenbyte’s current Steam assets. Original-release rules are labeled where saving or co-op differs; these are not screenshots of the 2009 renderer.
What to look for during exploration
Experience and equipment have different roles. A hidden vial helps upgrades, while a chest can change what one character can do or withstand.
| Find | Purpose | Search habit |
|---|---|---|
| Experience vials | Progress toward skill points | Check above the visible main path |
| Enemy experience | Rewards defeated monsters | Collect drops after the area is safe |
| Treasure chest | Special character enhancement | Inspect side passages and elevated ledges |
| New ability pickup | Expands a hero’s options | Test the new tool before leaving the area |
Where the three heroes help exploration
A collectible route often uses more than one character. Build a platform first, then switch to the hero who can finish the crossing.
| Location pattern | First action | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Vial on a high shelf | Build a box step | Jump from the stable upper surface |
| Chest across a gap | Find wooden grapple anchors | Swing and release toward solid ground |
| Pickup behind a barrier | Inspect for breakable sections | Use the appropriate knight weapon |
| Vials under a platform | Check a safe lower route | Return before losing the path back |
Move equipment between heroes
The original inventory allows enhancement items to be moved between characters. Give a survival item to the hero currently doing the dangerous work rather than leaving it on an unused character.
Use the level-selection record
Completed stages can be replayed. Revisit a level after gaining useful abilities instead of spending a long first run forcing a collectible route with limited tools.
