Learn about all the powerups in Axiom Verge, including Health Nodes, Power Nodes, Size Nodes, and Range Nodes, and how they affect your gameplay.
Alright, let's talk about powerups in Axiom Verge! These are super important for making Trace tougher and his weapons more effective. There are six types in total, but keep in mind that some are just smaller versions of others. Think of them like collecting puzzle pieces to get a bigger reward.
| Name | # | Effect |
| Health Node | 9 | Increases Trace’s maximum health amount by one chunk. |
| Health Node Fragment | 20 (+5 *) | Collect 5 to increase Trace’s maximum health amount by one chunk. 20 are found in the main game, but five extra Fragments can be found in the Secret Worlds and are not required for 100% completion. |
| Power Node | 6 | Increases the damage dealt by all weapons, including the Energy Drill (R2). |
| Power Node Fragment | 18 | Collect 6 to increase the damage dealt by all weapons, including the Energy Drill (R2). |
| Size Node | 4 (+2 *) | Increases the size of weapon projectiles. Does not affect some weapons. Four are found in the main game, but an additional two can be found in the Easy or Medium Secret Worlds, and are not required for 100% completion. |
| Range Node | 4 (+2 *) | Increases the distance of weapon projectiles. Does not affect some weapons. Four are found in the main game, but an additional two can be found in the Easy or Medium Secret Worlds, and are not required for 100% completion. |
Basically, you'll be hunting for these nodes and fragments scattered throughout the world. The full nodes give you an immediate boost, while the fragments require you to collect a few before they count. Don't stress too much about the extra fragments in the Secret Worlds; they're not needed to finish the game, but they can definitely give you an edge if you're aiming for 100% completion!
