Introduction [4H01]
This guide was written for the sole purpose of completing the in game
achievements. There are only marginal benefits to completing everything.
The Scribe crown has a stat boosting ability that gets enhanced as you
complete more achievements. Other than that, your reward is adding images
to the picture on the title screen.
Here is a list of the completion factors:
Obtain one of every item
Open 100% of treasure chests
Accumulate 9,999,999 Gil
Master all Crowns
Upgrade an item to level 99
Complete a bonus tower
Speak to every animal
This is not a walkthrough, but Missable, or hard to obtain items are
listed in order as you progress through the game. There are other
walkthroughs and item lists out there. This one is a combination of the
two, so you don't make it to endgame, realizing you missed something
simple like the Mythril Hammer.
There are two rules you need to keep in mind as you progress through the
game. Do not sell any items, and open every chest as soon as it is
available. This game is very linear, and sometimes you can not get back to
previous areas you just visited. The world is fully open to your
exploration after an event called darkness falls. This event takes place
after you have visited all seven towns. For some chests and items it is
mandatory that you get them at that point. Other chests and items can be
found later, and recommendations are made for when to get them. There are
many unique items in the game that are very easy to find in chests or even
as starting equipment. Not all of these items are covered in this guide as
being special. Assuming you do not sell any items, and open all chests as
soon as they are available, you will not miss these items. A few examples
are the Old Clothes Yunita wears when she rejoins in Urbeth, and the
Hunting Horn found in a chest in the Pirates hideout. Both easy to obtain,
but if you sell them you are screwed. Also, many people tend to sell the
Kings Shortsword Air starts with. Don't do that, not only is there only
one, but it is the best dagger in the game.
Treasure chests are all numbered, but as mentioned later this numbering
system isn't exact. Some story related chests do not count, and based on
the chest percentage completion, it appears the hidden treasures in the
towns do not count either. Following this guide closely will result in
100% chest completion because it did for me.
Finally, the content of this guide was generated from numerous sources,
most of the work not being mine. Special thanks to PiperStarfire Gilmore,
and ZorlockDarksoul for their guides, and the gamefaqs community for their
input. Also, while flawed and sometime misleading, the Brady strategy
guide also provided some good insights.
Item / Chest Walkthrough [4H02]
Horne [4H02H]
Hidden Chests
Potion - Brandt's house
Potion - left side of Brandt's house
Potion - Across bridge from Brandt's house, in field
Dragon Wing - In a house right of the Adventurer, in a barrel
Torch - Next to a bed on the top floor of the inn
Dragon Wing - In Horn's western most house, upstairs, check a box
Potion - Bottom leg of the wooden aqueduct by the storage shop
Potion - North of town to the right of the windmill
Other items in horn (may or may not count as chests since they are given
to you by NPCs. Might as well collect them just to be safe.)
Phoenix down - Guard right in front of Horn's south entrance(only
before speaking with king?)
Potion - Birthday gift from woman to the left of the item shop
Potion - From man outside of wireless shop
Steel Sword - From king Horn
100 gil - from minister to the right of King Horn
Phoenix down - From woman in lower right door in royal chamber
1. Wood Shield - Right room in Horn Castle with two chests
2. Potion - Right room in Horn Castle with two chests
3. Potion - Left room in Horn Castle with one chest
*One Time Only Item
Immediately after speaking with the king, go back to Brandt's house and
speak with his mother. You will get the inherited ring. This is only
available before you defeat Greaps in the Witch's Mansion.
*The Falcon enemies outside of Horne are a good early way to get Gale
Gauntlets: 2% drop chance. However the Arp Enemies you find after darkness
falls have a better chance of dropping tis item: 5.1% drop chance
North Caves
4. Potion - 1F
5. Phoenix Down - 1F
6. Phoenix Down - 1F
7. Hatchet - 1F
*The Bloodbat enemies are the best place to get Bloody Rings: .8% drop
chance. Best to get at least one before darkness falls. Blood bats can be
found in many other caves, so don't worry if you don't get one here.
Witch's Mansion
8. Cure Tome - 2F
9. Potion - 1F
10. Steel Armor - 1F
11. Phoenix down - 3F
12. Horne's Bow - 1F (disguised by wall)
13. Dragon Wing - 2F
After a series of events in Horne, you are now traveling with Just Brandt
and Yunita. Now that you have the wayfarer crown, you can now begin
farming wireless points. This is very easy to do, the best method is to
collect rubies and emeralds to upgrade your crown and learn the Escape
ability. Set the ability on both characters, and get into a random battle.
Press the X button to activate auto mode and select Escape for both
characters. Now weight down the D-pad so you are continuously walking in
one direction. You will still encounter enemies when you are walking into
a wall or other barrier, so now you will continuously enter and exit
battles. You get five wireless points per battle, and can make about 875
points per hour this way. I like to do this immediately to get all the
high powered elemental swords from Horne before the Liberte shopkeepers
leave.
Moonlight Tower
14. Tempest Pike - 2F
15. Phoenix Down - 2F
16. Rising Sun - 3F
17. 1000 gil - 5F
*The Big Worm enemies outside of Guera and in various desert dungeons are
the best way to get Earth Gauntlets: 5.1% drop chance
*The Basilisk enemies are the best way to get Poison Rings: 2% drop chance
Guera [4H02G]
Hidden Chests
Potion - In the INN between the two beds in the right room
Potion - In the trees to the right of the well
Eye Drops - Table in wireless shop
Antidote - In the large three doorway house, left wardrobe
Antidote - Behind large three doorway house, next to a bush
Potion - In Magic Shop, left bookshelf
Animate Tonic - Behind wireless shop - requires animal form, you

have to return later
Guera Caverns
18. Torch - B1F
19. Wood Axe - B2F
20. Ether - B1F
20. Water Tome - B2F
22. Phoenix Down - B1F
*Access to the Guera Caverns is available immediately once you find the
town, however you can only get in at night. Make sure you get all chests
in this dungeon before you go to Quicksand Castle, as it will become
unavailable immediately after.
Quicksand Castle
23. Phoenix Down - 1F
24. Ether - 1F
25. Blue Shot - 2F
26. Baneknife - 3F
27. Earth Axe - 4F
*Strip Krinjh of his Krinjh's Sword before you fight the Sand Devil in the
Quicksand Castle. Take his Krinjh's robe as well while you're at it. This
will save time trying to steal one from him in the Bonus Tower. With the
proper set-up, you will not need Krinjh to live through the boss fight
anyways.
*One Time Only Item
The Earth Sword is a guaranteed drop by the Sand Devil boss. However, make
sure it does not end up in Krinjh's inventory after fight, as he
immediately leaves your party.
Liberte [4H02L]
Hidden Treasures
Potion - Right wall of storage shop
Gaia drum - Behind item shop
Phoenix Down - Southwest corner of town by tree

Potion - In the King's chamber, in a bush to the right
*Buy a Knife in Liberte or Urbeth before darkness falls. There are no more
in the game after this point
*Buy at least one Tranquilizer in Liberte before darkness falls. They are
hard to obtain after
28. Giant's Ring - Apollo's House
Pirate's Hideout
29. 300 gil - B1 Left
30. Rock Lance - B2
31. Terra Stave - B2
32. 500 Gil - B4
33. Icebrand - B4
34. 500 Gil - B4
35. Ocean Stave - B4
36. Hunting Horn - B4
37. Antarctic Wind - B4

Hunting Caves
44. Ether - B2
45. Thunder Axe - B3
46. Hi-Ether - B4
*Make sure you get the High-Ether now; it gets replaced with a quest item
after darkness falls
Urbeth [4H02U]
Hidden Treasures
Hi-Potion - Trylion's shop, right bookcase
Potion - House south of Accessory shop, dresser in back room
Alarm Clock - Box on pier south of Accessory shop
Hydraxe - inn, check the left tub
Zeus's Wrath - In the water behind tower to the sky
Great Tree Log - Bylion's item shop, upper level
Cross - Inside tavern, back left near barrels
Hi-Potion - to the left of the tavern, near wooden barrels
47. Red Shot - Tower to the sky back entrance
There are many items that you should get in Urbeth at this point;
fortunately money is no longer an issue. You can make unlimited gil by
selling stuff behind the counter in Thouzand's shop. This is explained
better in other guides, so I will not go into great detail here. Basically
buy as many ethers as you can from Bylion's shop. Talk to the man in front
of the Counter at Thouzand's shop and say you want to sell stuff. A screen
will pop up with places to put your items. You want the layout with two
"group" spaces, and one single space on the top row. If you do not get
what you want, cancel out and try again. Once you have the proper layout,
put five ethers in the top row, and mark them all for 5000 gil. Put the
"Hot Deal!" Icon over the single Ether slot. For each ether you sell, you
will make either a 250% or 500% profit. You will not necessarily sell all
five ethers every time, so repeat this trick as necessary.
Another tip for Urbeth is to buy three Hermes sandals and one Gem
Collector at the Wireless shop. These will be used to farm Diamonds from a
boss just before darkness falls, and from other bosses in the game. This
will set you back 21,000 Wireless points, so you may want to leave your
game auto-battling over night. Like mentioned before, you can get about
875 Wireless points per hour this way, so you will need about 24 hours of
points saved up.
*Buy an Ice Pick In Urbeth or Invidia before darkness falls. They are hard
to obtain after
*The Succubus enemies outside of Urbeth are the best way to get Confuse
Rings: 5.1% drop chance
* The Garm enemies outside of Urbeth are the best way to get the Lone Wolf
accessory: 2% drop chance
*The Ikakku enemies outside of Urbeth while on the boat are the best way
to get Death rings. 1.2% drop chance - You will find more of these enemies
throughout the game in multiple locations. Feel free to wait on this one
Arbor [4H02A]
Hidden Items
Hi-Potion - Grass a few steps in front of save point

Alarm Clock - Blue pot above item shop

Potion - Blue mushrooms in front of wireless shop
Potion - Basket behind Wireless shop
Phoenix Down - Queen's chamber, right path to the great tree seed
*Buy a Stun Stiletto In Arbor before darkness falls. There are no more in
the game after this point
*Buy a Silence Cape and a Sleep Cape in Arbor before darkness falls. There
are no more in the game after this point
Great Tree Roots:
48. Great tree harp - B1F
49. Phoenix Down - B2F
Animal Staff - B2F: This item does not count towards the treasure chest

Potion - Table south of weapon shop
Hi-Potion - Cooking pot to the east of the storage shop
Tranquilizer - South of the INN, stove with the teapot on top
Animate Tonic - On the staircase leading up to Rekoteh's room
Antidote - Sleeping man to the North-West of the math game
Bomb Fragment - Straight south from item shop on table
Potion - Tree north of dragon's egg
Dark Sigh - Window above Rekoteh
*One Time Only Item
Make sure you opt to trade mythril for the Mythril Hammer before you try
to wake the dragon's egg with Firaga.
*Make sure you buy the Elementalist Robe and the Ranger Outfit in either
Invidia or Spelvia before darkness falls
*Buy a Darkness Axe in Invidia before darkness falls. They are hard to
obtain after
*Before you go to the Invidia Underground, you are given the Magic Key.
Unfortunately, you can not backtrack to Horne until after darkness falls.
There is no path back to Arbor through the Ice caves, and the road through
the Animal Cave is now blocked as well
Invidia Underground
55. Inferno Stave - B1F
56. Book of Shiva - B2F
*Strip Rekoteh of her Rekoteh's Clothes and Shark Lance before riding the
Dragon to Spelvia
Urbeth
*Buy at least one Raven's Yawn from Urbeth after obtaining the magic key,
but before darkness falls. They are hard to obtain after
*As Yunita, speak to all the shop owners for new gear. Thauzand gives you
a Steel Sword +5, Trylion gives you a Trylion Ring, Bylion gives you a
Potion, and Mylion will trade you a pair of Rainbow boots for a mythril if
you have any. (Mythritoises are located outside of Urbeth at night.)
Tower to the Sky
57. Cura Tome - 2F
58. Dark Cape - 3F
59. Star Earring - 4F
60. Raise Tome - 5F
61. Ether - 6F
62. Hi-Potion - 7F
63. Soil Cape - 7F
64. 500 Gil - 8F
Spelvia Dungeons
65. Phoenix Down - B3F
66. Shining Axe - B3F
67. Shine Cape - B2F
68. Book of Ramuh - B2F
Spelvia
Hidden Treasures
Remedy - To the right of the dungeons exit
Shining Harp - Behind tombstone
Holy Breath - Behind pool of water, right of the tombstone
Indra's Spear - Behind item shop, around the back
Animate Tonic - Candles, in the bottom right corner of inn
Dark Sigh - Broken pillar in horizontal hallway before throne room
Dragon Wing - Throne room, left staircase at the end
Echo Herbs - Rolan's chamber, left side
69. Courage Ring - Throne room, right staircase behind pillar.
*Make sure you buy a Stardust Bow from the Spelvia Weapon shop before
Darkness falls
Rolan's Soul
70. Hero Armor - Underneath central staircase.
*The Doppleganger enemies in Rolan's Soul are the best way to get Curse
Rings: 5% steal chance
*The Doppleganger enemies (specifically Aire) in Rolan's soul are the best
way to get Cursed Blades: 5.1% drop chance
*Strip Rolan of Rolan's Clothes before defeating Geri and Freki in Rolan's
soul
Spelvia [4H02S]
*The Rolan boss fight is the best way to get a Lightbringer sword: 25%
steal chance
*The Rolan boss fight is also the quickest way to farm diamonds. This is
explained better in other guides, so I will not go into great detail. The
best set up is four Merchants with the Keeper ability. Three of your party
members should not equip armor or shields, and they should have Hermes
Sandals equipped. For your fourth member, equip the Hero Armor you just
got, and a Gem Collector accessory. This ensures at least three get a
chance to find a gem, and the fourth has the chance to survive the first
round of Rolan's attacks so they can find a gem as well. Enemies target
your characters from strongest to weakest, so try to have your gem
collector on your "weakest" character. For me at this point it was Yunita.
After Darkness Falls [4H02DF]
Horne
This is a good time to go to Horne and check your chest percentage.
Immediately after darkness falls, you should be at %. There are four more
chests to get in Horne Now that you have the Magic Key.
Your percent after each chest should be as follows:
71. X-Potion - Cid's House
72. Hi-Ether - Cid's House
73. Soul of Thamasa - Horne Castle
Using a simple algebraic equation, now we know there are exactly # chests
in the game, and that we are on target for 100%
*The Arp enemies outside of Horne after Darkness falls are the best way to
get Quaking Harps: 10.2% drop chance AND Gale Gauntlets 5.1% drop chance
Liberte
There are a few more Magic Key Chests to get
74. Soul of Thamasa - House locked by magic key in Liberte Town
75. Remedy - House locked by magic key in Liberte Town
76. Stunning Harp - House locked by magic key in Liberte Town
Mt. Gulg
77. Flameblade - 1F
78. Fire Axe - 1F
79. Burning Harp - 2F
80. Flame Cape - 2F
81. Elf Cape - 4F

82. Fresh Meat - B4F
83. Dancer Clothes - B4F
84. 1000 gil - B4F
85. Monk Robe - B4F
86. Death Tome - B4F
87. 1000 gil - B4F
Rusty Compass - B4F
Hunting Caves
Hi-Elixer - B4F
*The Fungus enemies in the Hunting Caves after Darkness falls are the only
way to get the Great Tree Sword: 5.1% drop chance
*The Lilith enemies outside of Urbeth after darkness falls are the only
way to get Whispering Harps: 10.2% drop chance
Sun Temple
88. Growth Egg - B2F
89. Fossil Cape - B2F
90. Death Cape - B2F
*The Mammon Boss is the only way to get the Claustrum, and only from the
first fight with him: 5% steal chance
Ice Caves
There is a secret entrance to the Ice caves with two chests
91. Turtle Shell - 1F
92. Hi-Ether - 1F
*The Wraith Enemies in the Ice Cave and Rolan's Soul after darkness falls
are the only way to get Silence rings: 5.1% drop chance
Magic Laboratory
93. Star Earrings - B4F
94. Darkness Staff - B2F
95. Evil Lance - B2F
96. Darkga Tome - B2F
97. Black Book - B2F
*Stealing from Satan is the only way to get the Darkbringer Sword: 5%
Steal
Star Chamber
98. Phoenix Down - B1F
99. Ribbon - B2F
100. Kiku-Ichimonji - B2F
101. Ether - B2F
102. Fresh Meat - B2F
103. Hi-Ether - B3F
104. Hero's Will - B3F
105. Fortune Egg - B3F
106. X-Potion - B4F
Bonus Towers [4H02BT]
* Chests in the bonus towers do not count towards the totals, however be
on the look out for the Elixir Item which may be found randomly on any
floor besides the exit floors.
*The Wyvern enemies in the Mysterious light house are the only way to get
Holy Lances: 2% drop chance
*The Adventurer in the Trial Tower is the only way to get the Adventurer's
garb: 25% steal Chance, 15% drop chance
106 chests = ~9.4 percentage points per chest. I tracked the percentage
points starting when Cid is first available. If you have every available
chest by the time you reach Cid, you should be at 68%. The first chest you
get in his house will bring you up to 69%, and it will remain at 69% when
you get the second. The math does not add up, so I can't say for sure
exactly which chests may be optional, so just get all the ones I listed to
be safe. I'm happy to update my data if someone can determine exactly what
counts, and a few others validate it.

Other achievements [4H04]
9,999,999 Gil [4H0499]
This is a very time consuming achievement to complete, and you might as
well wait until after darkness falls. There are two methods to complete
it. The active method involves farming Diamonds from Ogre Bear, and the
passive method relies on the auto-gem farming trick to fill your
Amethysts, Aquamarines, Topaz gems and rubies overnight. The Bear method
will get you about 500,000 gil per hour of tedious farming, while the
auto-farm method will get you about 250,000 gil every four hours while you
leave your game to play on it's own.
The optimal set up I've found for the Ogre Bear method is four Story
Teller Crowns each equipped with Finder, Keeper, Kamikaze, and Escape.
Three party members should have Energy Screens from the Invidia wireless
shop, and the fourth will need the Gem Collector Accessory. This character
will need very strong physical defense by upgrading armor and the
unyielding shield. The goal is to have all four characters use Finder and
Keeper before they are KO'd, then have everyone use Kamikaze to end the
battle and go again. The Ogre Bear will consistently attack the same
character first, so make sure that character is one with an Energy Screen,
and give them the Shield of Light to prevent the instant KOs. The Ogre
Bear is in the Animal Caves, so save in Guera and turn all characters into
animals and enter the cave from the west. Escape from all battles on the
way.
For the overnight gem farming, you can use the same set up as above, but
equip exactly two Storytellers with Hermes Sandals. Have these characters
Auto-battle set to use Finder, and the other two set to use Escape. Travel
To Invidia, and go outside into the Ice Caves. This place is important
because the Behugemore enemies have Amethysts.
Use both methods to minimize the time it takes to complete this
achievement.
Mastering All Crowns [4H04CR]
Use the Gem farming method above to max out your gems. Leave your game
auto farming in the same Ice Cave location, then to the left of Horne. Max
diamonds from Ogre Bear, and repeat as many times as necessary to master
your crowns.
Upgrade an item to level 99 [4H04UP]
Farm gems, upgrade any item that can be upgraded, repeat. After +9, you
will need to give the upgrade shop an Orihalcon to upgrade 10 more levels.
You'll need 10 Orihalcons total to upgrade to 99, and keep one for your
item list. Upgrades will cost one more gem per 10 levels, and will
eventually include all gem types.
Complete one bonus tower [4H04CO]
You'll need to do this many times over for the other achievements, so you
do not have to worry about this one.
Speak to every animal [4H04AN]
For this achievement, you must speak to every animal in the seven towns in
animal form. The adventurer's fox counts, but you only need to speak to it
in one location. As far as I am aware Torte, other temporary characters,
Arbaroc, and the parrot in Brandt's house do not count. This achievement
can not be completed until the curse is lifted in Horne. If you are
starting this task before darkness falls, the list below only applies to
the daytime.
*Please note one animal is missable! Talk to the cat in Rekoteh's room
when you first arrive in Invidia. It will disappear after darkness falls.
