This list goes in the order I grabbed the medals as I played through. I
tried to get them as soon as possible. As far as I know, there are 115 Small
Medals. This list is the same one found in section (III-I) of my Japanese
version appendix, except the names of places have been changed to work for
the North American version of the game. Pots may have been switched with
barrels; if that is the case, they are still in the same room, just in a
pot/barrel instead of barrel/pot.
You do not have to get these in the same order that I do, they will
still be there. Please note that Mini Medals #065 and 066 (both of the ones
found at Marta's Cottage) are "lost-forever" if you wait too long to get
them.
All that is different in 1.03 from 1.02 is the U with an umlaut above it
was not showing up correctly (some funky 's' was showing instead), so I
changed it to a regular capital 'U'.
003: Overworld: With the Thief's Key in hand, go back to Farebury, and into
the forest to the southeast, following the river. At the
end of the river, walk south a bit, and open the chest.
049: Overworld: Go southeast of Chateau Felix. After crossing the first
bridge, follow the southern coast until you find a chest
nestled in the corner by the mountains.
066: Marta's Cottage: Enter the stable and break the barrel on the left.
Note: Get this medal when you first get here; if you
wait too long, you cannot get this medal.
091: Overworld: Follow the shadow of the bird, then enter the portal to
the dark world. To the east is a fallen tree. Walk around
it and open the treasure chest.
098: Overworld: With the Godbird's Soulstone, fly to the southern area of
the desert where the Dragon Graveyard was. Open the treasure
chest behind you.
099: Overworld: Fly to the east of Farebury, and land on the high ground
area by the big red tree. Once there, break open the pot on
the right to find the medal.
100: Overworld: Fly to the east of Farebury, and land on the high ground
area by the big red tree. Walk down by the water on the
bottom.
South of the friendly Elysium Bird, check the sand between
the water and grass west of the pier (watch your compass).
There is a large, leafless tree on the western edge of the
area. About 7 steps east of the tree is the invisible Mini
Medal. Mash the X button while walking back and forth over
the sand, as it can be in varying parts of the sand.
104: Lord High Priest's house: Fly to the Lord High Priest's house behind
Savella Cathedral and enter the house via the
back door. Go to the room on your left and
break the pot in the corner, behind the door.
105: Lord High Priest's house: While you are still at the Lord High Priest's
house, go upstairs and into the Lord High
Priest's chamber. Open the door on the left
and search the dresser.
