The Amber Castle region in Akatori holds six collectibles worth tracking down: five hidden cat spirits, known as Maneki-neko, and a single Bell of Chaos. Between them they hand you a new combat ability, two achievements, and the complete “Parable” lore entry. Here is exactly where each one sits and what you get for grabbing it.
Quick answer: Collect all five cat spirits to earn the “Spirits in the Amber Castle” achievement and unlock the “Parable” lore entry, then ring the Bell of Chaos and spend Chaos to unlock the “Dodge and Counterattack” ability plus the “Trial Apprentice” achievement.
All six Amber Castle collectibles and their rewards
Every cat spirit is tied to a lore entry, and the Bell of Chaos is a one-off pickup for this region. Use the table below as your checklist, then follow the location notes further down.
| Collectible | Name / entry | What it grants |
|---|---|---|
| Cat 1/5 | Old Men’s Curse | Lore entry |
| Cat 2/5 | Conspiracy | Lore entry |
| Cat 3/5 | A Day on Duty | Lore entry |
| Cat 4/5 | Immunity | Lore entry |
| Cat 5/5 | Parable | Lore entry (completes the set) |
| Bell of Chaos 1/1 | Inner Chaos | Dodge and Counterattack ability, Trial Apprentice achievement |
Note: The first cat spirit requires the Detonator, so make sure you have that tool before you go hunting for it.
Cat spirit locations in Amber Castle
Cat 1 – Old Men’s Curse: From the starting area, run right across the platforms. The Detonator is needed to reach it, so clear any blocked path with it before you press on.
Cat 2 – Conspiracy: Work your way across the platforms and ride the lift up. Defeat the enemy waiting at the top, then jump to the left to collect the spirit.
Cat 3 – A Day on Duty: Break through the wall in this section and take out the flying enemies. The cat spirit sits just past them.
Cat 4 – Immunity: Break another wall to reach a chest holding a Greater Health Potion, then drop down. Clear the enemies below and the spirit is yours.
Cat 5 – Parable: Climb the vertical shaft using wall jumps to reach a hidden ledge. It contains a chest and the final cat spirit, which completes the collection.
Bell of Chaos and the Dodge and Counterattack ability
The Bell of Chaos is a purple bell tied to the “Inner Chaos” entry. Interact with it and spend Chaos to unlock the “Dodge and Counterattack” ability, which then lets you enter the associated trial. Completing that step also pops the “Trial Apprentice” achievement.
How to confirm you got everything
Open the cat collection menu to check your progress. When all five spirits are gathered, the “Parable” lore entry appears as fully unlocked and the “Spirits in the Amber Castle” achievement fires. The Bell of Chaos is separate, so verify that “Dodge and Counterattack” now shows in your ability list and that “Trial Apprentice” has unlocked. If any cat is still missing, the collection screen will show fewer than 5/5, which tells you which region collectible you still need to revisit.
