Discover the locations and effects of the Orbs of True Knowledge in Noita. Learn how each orb grants spells and buffs, and how corrupted orbs impact your run.
Orbs of True Knowledge are special collectibles found throughout the world of Noita. Each orb is associated with an Emerald Tablet and often found within dedicated Orb Rooms. Collecting an orb grants a unique spell and a permanent +25 Max Health bonus for all subsequent runs. A counter appears on your HUD once at least one orb is collected.
