Dead Leaf is obtained through a short two-part event rather than from a chest or merchant. First, Mina must trigger the Leaf scene in Kindlewood near Septemburg Farm Crossing. After that scene, the trinket can be collected from a funeral at Occupied Bridge in Western Wilds.
This guide focuses only on reaching the event and collecting the reward. For a full explanation of the statue effect, limitations and recommended builds, see the Dead Leaf effects, limitations and best builds page.
Dead Leaf Location: Quick Answer
- Travel to Septemburg Farm Crossing.
- Burrow beneath the opening near the moving sentient gourd.
- Take the small southern burrow exit into the wooded Kindlewood area.
- Drop to the lower ledge near the Bonestone Shard chest.
- Jump and land on the Leaf or leaf pile to trigger the event.
- Travel to Occupied Bridge in northwestern Western Wilds.
- Find the funeral and collect Dead Leaf there.
Step 1: Reach the Leaf Event in Kindlewood
Begin at Septemburg Farm Crossing. Look for the section with the sentient gourd moving near a burrowable opening.
Burrow beneath the gap and continue toward the small exit at the bottom of the passage. This route leads into the wooded section of Kindlewood.
After emerging, drop down toward the lower ledge. A Bonestone Shard chest nearby can be used as a visual landmark.
Step 2: Land on the Leaf
Near the lower ledge, look for the Leaf or the suspicious leaf pile.
Jump and land directly on it. This triggers the event and cutscene required for Dead Leaf to become available.
You do not need to purchase anything from a merchant or open a trinket chest. Make sure the scene has fully played before leaving the area.
Step 3: Travel to Occupied Bridge
After triggering the Leaf event, travel to Occupied Bridge in the northwestern part of Western Wilds.
Look for the funeral gathering. The change in music and the gathered mourners make the event easier to identify.
Approach the funeral and interact with the Dead Leaf reward to add the trinket to Mina's inventory.
The item is collected directly from the funeral scene itself.
Dead Leaf Effect Summary
Dead Leaf turns Mina into a silent statue after she remains still briefly. Moving ends the transformation.
The effect is primarily designed for stealth and survival. Community testing has also identified strong interactions with summon-based Sidearms.

Dead Leaf Funeral Not Appearing
If the funeral is not present at Occupied Bridge, return to the Kindlewood event location and confirm that Mina landed on the Leaf and completed the full scene.
The funeral is tied to the first event. Simply reaching Occupied Bridge without triggering the Leaf scene is not enough.
Also confirm that you are checking Occupied Bridge in northwestern Western Wilds rather than searching a generic graveyard area.
