Endacopia Items — Every Key Item, Location & Use (2026)

Endacopia fills Mellow's pockets with "tools, toys, gadgets and trash" — and nearly everything has a use somewhere, often several rooms later. The official item philosophy is that every item has an evidence trail: where it came from, what it looks like, what it's been tested on, and what it eventually does. This guide gives the complete catalog: every key item, where it's found, what it unlocks, and the puzzles it feeds into — including the item-states gotcha (some items transform after use).

Per the official Steam description, Mellow's loop includes to "fill your pockets with tools, toys, gadgets, and trash" — the trash line is not a joke; nearly everything in the inventory system has a purpose.

Here's what you'll learn:

• How Endacopia's inventory system works (action cycling, combinations, item states)
• The Prologue items: Plunger, Cheese, Coins — and the Cheshire chain
• The branching items: Toy Saw vs Real Saw (code 471)
• The exploration tools: Metal Detector, Telescope, Lockpick
• The Office chain: Transparent Mug, Flower, Wrench, Core Key
• The Circus chain: Scalpel, Red Ball, Skateboard
• A full item table with locations and uses

How Endacopia Items Work

• Open the inventory with E or I. Left-click an item to select it, then left-click something in the world to use it.
• Right-click cycles actions on hovered objects — an item's target often has more than one action (examine, use, talk).
• Test items back where you found them — the environment usually explains an item's purpose visually (shape match, symbol, color).
• Track item states. Some items change after use: opened, filled, combined, consumed. The Cheese is consumed by the cockroach puzzle; the Transparent Mug must be filled with water before it becomes the Short Circuit tool; the Saw Box holds one saw and one only.
• Talk to characters with an item selected — dialogue can react to what you're holding.
• Re-examine items after big events — descriptions and states change as the world changes.

Prologue Items

Plunger

• Where: the Bathroom, after defeating Clocky.
• Use: the demo's ending trigger — use it on the toilet, choose the top dialogue option, enter Cheshire. PC Gamer's demo coverage noted the absurd puzzle design: players tried the plunger on several things before the toilet. In the full game the sequence is the Prologue's final beat.

Cheese

• Where: the Kitchen fridge, after the Henry stealth section and the Fridge Puzzle.
• Use: lures the cockroach in Mellow's room. Consumed by the puzzle.
• Chain: cheese → cockroach → 2 coins → Wall Bank → Cheshire password.

Coins (×2)

• Where: dropped by the cockroach when you step on it (Mellow refuses to pick it up by hand).
• Use: feed both to the Wall Bank behind the bedroom drawing — it reveals the Cheshire password. You need exactly two.

Chapter II Branching Items — Toy Saw & Real Saw

• Where: Henry's Saw Box, opened with code 471 (from PASSWORDS.TXT on Henry's computer) during the Chapter II epilogue.
• The rule: you may carry one saw only. The box won't let you return for the other.
• Toy Saw → Roger → Ending A (Escape / "Family!") → includes the mandatory Henry boss fight.
• Real Saw → Roger → Ending B (Return / "Family?") → darker epilogue variant.
• Back up first: single-save system + Steam Cloud (1.04+) mirror one slot, so copy your userdata folder before opening the box. Details: save file guide and endings guide.

Exploration Tools — Metal Detector, Telescope, Lockpick

Metal Detector

• Where: Beartha's PGD quest in Timesville — telescope constellation at the locked beach shed → skeleton room → raise all skeletons to the highest position except the upside-down one (arms outward) → pull the bone rope → wait for insects → collect it.
• Uses (all Stay-ending critical):
  • Misery Town cinema: find the remote in the sandy floor → reveal the map.
  • Timesville beach: dig up the Lockpick, then later the Camera, Fish Paper and PGD.
  • Timesville finishing paper (fish paper) for the Stay secret.
• Windowed-mode tip: community guides consistently report detector searches are more accurate in windowed mode.

Telescope

• Where: Timesville party chain — Catthew hide-and-seek ×3 → Fishing License → 6 fish → aquarium at night → party invite (password Yellow) → reassure the owl → gift.
• Uses:
  • Beartha's shed constellation puzzle.
  • The Office Stay secret: place it by the sleeping bench figure at the station entrance → read CALL US! 277-5944 → dial in the Jobs app → Morse "Behind the stairs 1 minute" → wait 60 seconds behind the stairs → VR helmet room.
• Patch 1.07 fixed telescope-related crashes near locked doors; keep the game updated for Stay runs.

Lockpick

• Where: beach dig with the Metal Detector (Beartha chain).
• Use: unlock Rat's room (2nd floor apartment) to gather blackmail evidence on Nibbles.

The Office Chain — Mug, Flower, Wrench, Core Key

The Gambling Den branch (needs all six phone calls correct for reassessment) produces the Office tool chain:

The Circus Chain — Scalpel, Red Ball, Skateboard

Other Notable Items

• Camera — from Beartha's second beach dig; used in Timesville photo beats. Patch 1.08 restored the Camera + green mug interaction.
• Fish Paper — second beach dig; ties into the Timesville Stay secret (18-fish key chain).
• Black Rose — Beartha's reward for returning the PGD; give it to Rosie's grave to reach the hidden chamber with the VHS Player.
• VHS Player — opens the Chameleon's den sequence (optional boss).
• PASSWORDS.TXT — not an inventory item, but the source of the Saw Box code 471 on Henry's computer.

The Plunger (bathroom) and the Cheshire password — which requires the Cheese (kitchen fridge), the cockroach coins, and feeding both coins to the Wall Bank.

Where is the Metal Detector in Endacopia?

In Timesville via Beartha's PGD quest: telescope constellation at the locked beach shed, then the skeleton room puzzle (raise all skeletons except the upside-down one, pull the bone rope).

What do I do with the Cheese in Endacopia?

Use it in Mellow's room to lure the cockroach, then step on the cockroach for two coins — the start of the Wall Bank/Cheshire password chain.

What is the Telescope used for in Endacopia?

The Timesville constellation puzzle (Beartha's shed) and the Office Stay secret — read CALL US! 277-5944 by the station bench, dial it in the Jobs app, decode the Morse, and wait behind the stairs.

How do item combinations work in Endacopia?

Open the inventory (E/I), select an item, then click a world object. Right-click cycles the object's actions. Test high-confidence pairs first, and remember some items transform or get consumed after use — re-examine items after big events.
