Quick Answer
How Do You Burrow in Mina the Hollower?
Short Answer
Burrowing is Mina’s underground movement technique. Use it to reposition, cross short dangerous spaces, avoid pressure, and reset your angle before attacking again. The key is to practice it before you are surrounded, not only after you are already in trouble.
Many new players treat burrowing as a panic button. That makes it feel inconsistent. A better approach is to use burrowing as part of your normal movement plan: enter a room, read the danger, choose where you want to end up, then burrow to improve your position.

When to Burrow
Burrow when walking is too slow, when your angle is bad, when an enemy is controlling your path, or when a room gives you a short window to cross a risky space.
Do not wait until every safe tile is gone. Good burrowing starts early enough that you still have a choice about where to go.
Burrowing in Combat
In combat, burrowing is useful after a missed attack, before an enemy reaches you, or when you need to escape a corner. It is also useful for resetting the fight so you can attack from a cleaner angle.
A simple beginner habit is: if you are too close after landing a hit, move or burrow before attacking again.
Burrowing for Exploration
Burrowing can help you look at terrain differently. If a route looks unreachable, a gap looks suspicious, or a room seems to have an alternate path, experiment carefully with movement instead of assuming the path is impossible.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Burrowing without choosing a destination.
- Waiting until you are fully surrounded.
- Trying to attack immediately after a bad burrow.
- Ignoring burrowing in easy rooms, then failing to use it under pressure.
FAQ
Is burrowing only for exploration?
No. It also helps with combat positioning, escaping pressure and creating safer attack openings.
Why does burrowing feel hard?
It usually feels hard when you only try it during emergencies. Practice it in calm rooms first.
