  • There are 10 Glitchbirds to find
  • You can find them hidden behind bushes, trees, and in secret areas from chapter 2 onward

Glitchbirds are one of the two collectibles players can seek out in The Plucky Squire. They are little critters that look like a mix between a bear and turnip. They are quite shy and tend to hide away behind bushes, trees, and even in hidden areas. There are a total of 10 to find.

We’ll walk you through where you’ll find the Glitchbird locations across all 10 chapters, which are different to the Art Scroll locations. We’re still tracking down the last few, so this is a work in progress and we’ll update as and when we find the last couple little guys.
