Echo’s Memories Quest in Steal an Egg: All Dog Lost Items Locations

Where Echo's photograph, collar, bone, and toy are hidden, and how returning them leads to the Haunted Rod and Phantom Express Ticket.

Where Echo’s photograph, collar, bone, and toy are hidden, and how returning them leads to the Haunted Rod and Phantom Express Ticket.

In Steal an Egg’s Halloween Dimension, the Corrupted Realm, Echo is a spectral dog with long blue ears and a blue tongue. He has forgotten who his owner is. His Echo’s Memories quest sends you across the event map to find four small objects. Though easy to miss, each one sits by a noticeable landmark. Return all four, and Echo leads you to the Ghost Fisherman, who gives you a permanent Haunted Rod. Use it to earn the Phantom Express Ticket.

Quick answer: Talk to Echo, collect all four items in any order until the tracker reads 4/4, hand them to Echo, then follow him to the Ghost Fisherman on the Haunted Swamp pier.


Echo’s Memories requirements

None of the quest items exist on the normal island. Everything happens inside the Halloween Dimension, so getting through the portal comes first.

  • The portal is near spawn on the regular map, beside the Trails Shop.
  • Your main pet needs at least 2.5 million Speed to enter.
  • Ghosts and monsters roam the dimension and keep chasing you, even during Echo’s dialogue.
  • The items can be collected in any order.

Where to find Echo and start the quest

Echo lives in the Graveyard on the left side of the Halloween Dimension, near three mausoleums and a large skeletal bone lying on the ground.

Pass through the portal, then angle left as you move away from the spawn area. This path leads toward the Graveyard.
Pass the first structure and stop at the second, a house topped with an orange witch hat with three small tombs beside it. Echo glows blue outside, next to a cauldron and some bones, with a yellow exclamation point over his head.
Talk to Echo and let his short dialogue play. He explains that his memories are scattered across the realm and asks you to find them.
Check the top of your screen for the quest banner. It reads “Find the dog’s lost things (0/4)” once the quest is active.

Clicking that banner opens the Echo’s Memories menu, titled “Help Echo retrieve the items.” It lists all four item slots, a riddle for each one, and your current count. The riddles point at the same landmarks covered below. “I used to watch the trains at the old station…” refers to the collar, for example.

Enemies keep moving during Echo’s conversation, so wait until the area beside his house is clear before you speak with him.


All 4 Echo lost item locations

Each of the four objects is small and lies on or slightly above the ground, so search the floor rather than the buildings. When you’re close enough, a “Pick up” prompt appears; on PC, press E. Your tracker changes as soon as you collect an item.

ItemAreaLandmark
Favorite Toy (Mr. Squeaky)Near Echo’s housePumpkin house by the Halloween Altar
Chewed BoneHaunted SwampRiverbank rocks facing the Phantom Express
Old CollarPhantom Express stationLarge tree across the tracks
Old PhotographAbandoned ManorBehind pumpkins and rocks left of the gate

The rabbit goes by several names. The pickup prompt calls it “Favorite Toy,” Echo calls it Mr. Squeaky, and plenty of players just say plushie. They’re all the same item.

Favorite Toy (Mr. Squeaky): pumpkin house and Halloween Altar

This pickup is nearest to Echo. Look from his position toward the pumpkin-shaped house beside the large Halloween Altar near the mausoleums. Alternatively, leave spawn for the Haunted Swamp and turn left at the first wooden lamppost. In front of the house, a small white stuffed rabbit with patches lies on the ground. It isn’t a pet or something sold in a shop—pick it up directly. Echo says, “Mr. Squeaky! I missed you!”

Chewed Bone: Haunted Swamp riverbank

Head for the Phantom Express station on the right edge of the map. Stand in front of the ladder on the station’s right side and face the Haunted Swamp. A row of rock formations lines the riverbank there. The bone rests on the grass beside the second rock from the station, in front of two small pumpkins. Its riddle reads “I buried something in the swampy marsh… probably!”

This is the item players miss most, because its pale color blends into the stone. Walk through the area instead of sprinting. Once you grab it, Echo says, “My bone! Still tastes like home.”

Item 3: Bone01:01Item 3: Bone

Old Collar: across the Phantom Express tracks

From spawn, follow the straight route toward the Haunted Swamp and turn right at the third wooden lamppost. Keep going until the Phantom Express station appears. Climb onto the platform using the ladder on its left side, then cross the railway tracks. The red spiked collar sits at the base of a large tree on the far side. It isn’t on the train, so you don’t need to wait for the Phantom Express to arrive.

If you’re stuck at 3/4, check both spots around the station. The bone is by the swamp rocks and the collar is past the tracks, and finding one can make it feel like you’ve already searched the other.

Old Photograph: Abandoned Manor gate

Follow the main road from spawn all the way to the Abandoned Manor gate at the back of the map. Facing the gate, look left for two large pumpkins next to a rock pile, near the glowing crystals from the riddle “Those glowing crystals by the manor gate… something shiny was there.” The framed photograph is tucked into the narrow gap behind the pumpkins, between the rocks and the fence. You can’t see it from the front, so walk or jump around the back. Echo reacts with “That’s me… and someone with a fishing rod?”

How to get the Haunted Rod from the Ghost Fisherman

At 4/4 on the tracker, your task becomes “Bring them to Echo!” Follow the red arrow and ground path back to his house.

Give Echo the four objects by talking to him. His memories return; he tells you his owner fishes at the old pier, and the objective becomes “Follow Echo!”
Follow Echo over the swamp, keeping to the red chevron trail. He stops at a wooden dock beside Gilbert’s Hut in the Haunted Swamp.
Talk to the Ghost Fisherman on the pier once the objective reads “Talk to the Ghost Fisherman.” He has a yellow exclamation point over his head and greets the dog with “Echo?! Is that really you?”

The Fisherman thanks you for reuniting him with Echo, then conjures a rod. The message “You got the Haunted Rod!” verifies that it has been added to your inventory. The rod stays with you permanently and can also catch Candy Corn.

Don’t leave the game or teleport away while Echo is leading you. Either one can break the sequence and force you to re-enter the dimension.


How to get the Phantom Express Ticket with the Haunted Rod

Returning the items doesn’t award the ticket by itself. You earn it through a fishing challenge at the same pier.

Walk to the far end of the dock and stand on the glowing circular pad. The prompt reads “Cast at the glowing ripples!”
Cast the Haunted Rod into the glowing green ripples, then reel quickly. A huge fish will drag you underwater.
Steer around the sea mines on the underwater route by holding A or D to move left or right. Each run gives you three lives.
Make it to the chest at the track’s end. It opens by itself and displays “PHANTOM EXPRESS TICKET UNLOCKED!”

Afterward, the fish attacks, but the Ghost Fisherman catches you with his rod and hauls you back to the pier. If you own the Haunted Rod yet still lack the ticket, do the fishing challenge again. There’s no benefit to collecting the four objects another time.


What the Phantom Express Ticket unlocks

The ticket is permanent and lets you ride the Phantom Express whenever it pulls into the station, which happens roughly every 30 minutes. While the train waits, a “Boarding Closes In” timer counts down. Choose “Board Train” and the game confirms with “Ticket punched! All aboard!” You only need the ticket for your first ride.

The train takes you to a ghost-hunting arena associated with the Spectral Mutation. Use a vacuum tool there to capture spirits, including the Ghouler, Lost Spirits, and Haunted Spirits; each one rewards Souls. Lost Spirits yield 10 Souls, while Haunted Spirits yield 35. Trade Souls for Spectral Mutation Shards to gain another way of getting the limited-time Spectral Mutation.
