Treasure Chest Guide

Demon9Tom · 09-10-2008, 09:06 PM

This is a guide for finding all the treasure chests scattered around the game. Chests marked with "(Unique)" are required for the "Compulsive" achievement. Chest containing Notations are required for the "Artistic" achievement (these chests will also be marked as "(Unique)"). There are also some items that are used for other achievements, however these items can be found in other places so are nonessential.

Warning: You will only be able to access the Seraphic Gate if you are playing on Normal or higher difficulties, this means all chests listed in that section are unavailable on the Easy difficulty.

Links:

Some helpful links.

The Achievement Guide can be found here (LINK).
The Compulsive Guide can be found here (LINK).

Key:

The following character skills are required to find some of the treasure chests.

- No Text - This means you will not need any character ability.

- (Storyline) - Part of the games storyline, and unmissable.

- (Unique) - This item must be picked up for the "Compulsive" achievement, make sure you do NOT smash this chest, and that you pick the item up.

- (Trap) - This means the chest is trapped, and will damage you, or will cause a status effect when opened. It may also destroy the content of the chest, so use Vic or Komachi to disarm the trap.

- (Tune) - This means you will need to use Capell’s “Percipere” tune to reveal the chest, or room the chest is in. You will know when you need to use the tune as the screen will become distorted when you look at the hidden chest/passage. You will also be able to hear a strange noise that will become loader the closer you get.

- (Rico) - This means you will need Rico to talk to an animal to get to the chest, or use his "Penguin Parade" connect skill.

- (Strength) - This means you will need to use either Gustav’s Explosive Ride ability, or Balbagan’s Gigatackle ability to break a Cracked Rock.

- (Thief) - This means that you will require either Vic or Komachi's Thief ability to open a locked chest. When you are connected to either character you will be able to see both opened and unopened treasure chests on the map and the mini-map. You will unlock this ability after you have opened several locked chests using Vic or Komachi.

- (Grab) - This means you will need to use Komachi's Honeysuckle ability to get the chest, these chest are usually in high places or in water.

Are you positive thats its the cerulean chain - this is the one with the tidal wave. I may have destroyed it, so that may be why I can't find it.

Syraphin · 09-10-2008, 11:22 PM

Graad Prision Chests:

1 - top of stairs, just open for boots (cant rememebr type, i'll check later)
2 - next to the above one, locked chest but as you cant re-enter the prision, you must smash it (so no, smashing wont affect achivement).

Thanks for the info on the prison, and the confirmation of what Ulquiorra14405 said, I don't intend to include information on what the chest contains unless its a uniques item, or a very useful item, but if people want them listed I will.

Syraphin · 09-10-2008, 11:57 PM

A Blue Berry Potion?

I didn't think it would be anything important but it always best to be sure, thanks for the confirmation.

Syraphin · 09-11-2008, 12:07 AM

nope, black berry potion lol.

to get it > just unshethe (sp?) and put away your sword 3 times, should get the potion.

also, i forgot > the man in the cell beside the save point gives you a coin to give to his wife. this is ~probably~ needed for this achivement.

I'm not certain whether or not side quests are required for this achievement I'll make a note of it and include them later if they are needed, I really hope there not though as some require you to be connected to specific characters to even start the quest, and that will be a real pain in the arse to check.
