How to get the Lad Green Kite secret trinket in Mina the Hollower

The secret trinket tied to the blonde lad with the green kite is the Windfall Charm — one of the hidden trinkets that doesn't come from a shop or a merchant like Panino. You can find this NPC on the east side of Ossex, near a canal and close to a bridge in the Eastern Heath area. Use the nearest mirror to fast-travel close if you've already explored the east side.

Location

From Osseus Ice Street, head east into the city area. Look for:

  • A canal running through the area
  • A nearby bridge
  • A blonde boy/lad standing around with a green kite overhead

This is the clue that you are in the right place. The kite is not just background decoration; it hides the trinket.

How to knock down the kite

To get the Windfall Charm:

1. Go to the opposite side of the canal from the lad.

2. Aim at the green kite.

3. Do not rely on a normal weapon swing, since the kite is too high.

4. Switch to a ranged sidearm — the Pistol (mapped to X by default) works well here, as does the Throwing Axe or Volt Hatchet.

5. Hit the kite to make the secret trinket drop.

Windfall Charm effect

The reward is the Windfall Charm trinket. Its effect is useful if you like using sidearms :

  • Picking up jewels restores some plasma.
  • Enemies defeated by sidearms can also drop jewels.

This makes the Windfall Charm especially helpful for sidearm-heavy builds, since it turns every sidearm kill into a potential plasma top-up — effectively reducing your reliance on healing vials. It's one of the better utility upgrades for players who favor ranged combat over melee.

Why grab the Windfall Charm early

This is a secret trinket — unlike the ones sold at the trinket shop or by Panino, you can only get it by finding the lad and knocking his kite down. There's no bone cost, which makes it a great detour if you're low on currency.

The plasma sustain it provides stays useful into New Game Plus , where tougher enemies and secret bosses demand better resource management. If you're working toward the harder endings , a reliable plasma loop from sidearm kills can make the difference.

For other hidden pickups nearby, check the all trinkets database — Spring Heels is another secret mobility trinket worth grabbing in the same region. And if you're near the canal, you might also want to try fishing while you're there.

Quick checklist

  • Start from Osseus Ice Street.
  • Head east.
  • Find the blonde lad with the green kite near the canal and bridge.
  • Move to the other side of the canal.
  • Shoot or hit the kite with a ranged sidearm.
  • Pick up the Windfall Charm secret trinket.
