Overview

There are A LOT of items that you can get in Minecraft Dungeons 2. Each labeled zone has it's own drops. You can see the drops you have and/or missing by moving your map over the area and pressing V on keyboard or Left D-Pad

This guide will go over all the items obtainable in Howling Woods including what they look like, attack patterns on weapons, and any special effects

This guide is work in progress as I have not unlocked every item yet. This will be updated as I play. Anything with ??? means I have not discovered it yet
