How to unlock the Scavenger achievement in Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara - Definitive Guide

NOTE: EarthboundX said:
You don't actually have to be able to use the items that are dropped, to add them to the list as found. For example, I tried to get the Shield of Protection from Evil as the Thief, she picked it up and dropped it, but it still counted as found.
TOWER OF DOOM (less items)

Figure - this item is in a path, when you need to choose between 3 ways in the city, choose the last one. After going through the tunnels with water, in the next part there isa key, press A and a door will open, inside this is a treasure with the Figure.
izret102 said:
Figure WILL NOT appear if you have house rules on. Unsure if it is only the one for loot drops or all... turn the rules off. First try it was there.
Scroll of Lightning Bolt - This is just a random drop from any enemy. These are higher level, so select a level close to the end to try and find it. NOTE: The Elf is the only one who can use it, so you must be her to find this one.
TombOfAnubis said:
load up the level where you discovered the dying soldier in the thicket and are given the option to head to the town or go to the fort to help the soldiers. Go to the fort, and from the entrance screen take the stairway leading up to the ramparts, then continue to the right across the ramparts to the Displacer Beast fight. This seems to be the most common enemy drop for the scroll.
LV 1 Blue Slime said:
Ran the Tower and the Displacer Beast around 15 times each with no Lightning Bolt scroll. Googled, and someone suggested just using cloud kill on the first 3 enemies in the tower and then restarting if you don't get it. Took about 15 tries but that worked for me, so if the other 2 methods don't work, try that... Got the scroll level 8 from a gargoyle in the last level playing the elf, who IMO, is much easier to go through the last level with. Mine had the sword of legend, though I don't know if you have to unlock it first for her to have it. Either way, it was much easier than using the MU.
Scroll of Cloud Kill - found in a treasure chest in the first side room of the final level.

All Other Items - A run through of the game with each character should yield all the other items needed. I ran through with the Cleric first, then the Elf and got everything but made sure to check all side rooms and killed the dragon.

Earrings - See below:
BG Curator said:
I have found the earrings in Tower of Doom...they are NOT a random drop. I believe the only place they can be found is the cave with the ogre, and only with the fighter. Choose the fighter as your character, select chapter 1, and kill the first few enemies. When the caravan guard gives you the choice of heading to the mountains after the monsters or going to the town, choose the mountains.
Proceed through the level until you reach the ogre boss. On the far right side of his area are two treasure chests. If you are playing as the fighter, the top one will contain the earrings. Other characters receive different items.
SHADOW OVER MYSTARA

1. Stealing with Thief - use a Dash Attack into an enemy (double tap in the direction and the thief will run)

2. If you cannot seem to get through a barrier of fire or ice, most likely you need to kill an enemy or some scorpions. If you cannot reach them, you can die in the barrier and when you return, the enemies will be killed by you dealing damage when continuing.

3. If you are playing co-op, the item only counts for you if pick it up. Things picked up by your co-op partner DO NOT count for your treasure total. So make sure to hold on to a special item and have your partner die and come back as someone who can pick it up to make the grind go faster.

4. Do not go for this achievement until you have completed the game from start to finish with each character! Always choose the optional path that is available when playing as a specific character, such as the forest path for the Elf and the cave for the Dwarf.

COMMONLY MISSED ITEMS

Need to be Stolen by Thief
Ring of Protection from Evil - Select level "The Cave of Rafael" and start with the Dwarf. This way, in the next area, when selecting a path, a third path will open for you instead of the traditional fire or ice pathway. Choose the bottom option and you will be brought in a cave with some falling stones. If you are playing solo, then you must die with the Dwarf at some point and continue with the Thief. After the cave, you will come to a boss fight with Tel'Arin (the dark elf you fought earlier) and another green elf. Use the Thief to steal the Ring of Protection from Evil from Tel' Eleron (the green elf).

Egg of Owlbear - Stolen from Owlbears with the Thief in the first level ("The village of Trintan) or whenever you encounter them.

Circlet - Steal this from Shadow Elves.

Purchase Only (At Gnome Shop)
Warhammer, Morning Star, Two-handed Sword, Bastard Sword - all of this can bought in Gnomes Shop, after the chapter "The Grove of Destruction." A Gnome appears after you kill the D. Beast, and chose the option to save their village. After the next boss fight the gnome appear again, and he'll say you are too big to enter but can purchase a potion to enter their village. The shop is the first door but is locked when you arrive. Simply go into the next door, and talk with anyone inside. When you go back to the village, the shop will be open. You will need a Fighter to unlock all the weapons available. You get the Morning Star and Two-Handed Sword available by selecting them a few times with the finger. They are hanging in the background of the shop.

Level-Specific Items
Sword of Legend - In the Cave of Rafael if you enter the first cave to the left while falling, you will find a Cursed Sword 2. It is on the other side of the fire wall after you kill the scorpions. Pick it up and equip it then try to swing it. You will be hit by the curse and lose health. After about 50 swings/hits, the sword will change into the Sword of Legend. You need a sword-wielder, such as Dwarf, Fighter, Thief, or Elf to pick it up.

Holy Avenger - Play the chapter Skies over Aengmore with a Cleric, then after killing the boss, select to go in the caves. Go up in this next area until you see a rock that you can push aside to reveal a hidden room, in this room lies Cursed Sword 1. If you try to pick it up several times with the Cleric, it will turn into the Holy Avenger. The Cleric cannot pick it up, but a sword-wielder can. You can opt to have a second controller come in as a Cleric to change the item is the easiest way in single player.

Sword of Flame/Sword of Frost - These are in closed off areas when you go through Lava or Ice Caverns after Cave of Rafael. You must kill something off-screen, like a bug or scorpion to get through the barriers, or have a ring of resistance on your character. Again, you need a sword wielder to pick these up.

Storm Blade/Staff of Elemental Power - this can be found in the last cave of the Cave of Rafael in the third cave room (the one on the right) as you are falling. You can get it with Fighter or Dwarf (maybe also with Thief or Elf but not confirmed). Use the Magic User to get the Staff of Elemental Power from this chest. The Storm Blade can also be found elsewhere: Achilles8249 said:
Just wanted to add that the Storm Blade is on the last level where you jump through the window and not in the cave of Rafael. Use the elf to get it in the chest.
Scroll Level 8 - Start the final level with a Magic User. Use the Start button to get the green one. When you defeat the boss Ezerhoden(the ghost-like boss), this item is/may be dropped. You may also find it on the gargoyles in the final levels as an item drop. NOTE: Gargoyles can only be killed by magic.

Medal - This is located in the bottom off-screen in the final levels. It is in a treasure chest in the area right when you come in where the Shield of Protection from Evil is located, which the room where there are doorways blocked by blue flames and lightning. NOTE: You may also get this by using Love01082008's naming trick listed at the bottom.

Shield of Protection from Evil - This is located in the final level behind some blue flames that have gargoyle statues around. This is the area where there are doorways blocked by blue flames and lightning. You need to kill the gargoyles to get through those doors. NOTE: You need a character that can wield a shield, such as Cleric, Dwarf, Fighter, or Elf. You can walk back through the wall, which has some blue outlines to it. In here is a chest behind some ice walls. You can get to it by going all the way over to the right, then push up into the walls of ice. You will get frozen and knocked back, but you have just enough time to get through the barrier if you move fast. Another option is to push into them until you are killed. When you continue, dash through the barrier while you are invincible. You can also backflip through the barrier with the Thief. There are gargoyles to the bottom of the screen and more treasure chests if you are so inclined.

Staff of Wizardry - This is located in a chest surrounded by flames in the area after defeating Tel'Arin. It is found in the area in Stage 10-3 where there are exploding fire traps on the floor. You'll see a window on the north wall before entering the room to fight the boss, this window is actually a secret room you can enter. There is another treasure chest behind flames this time. Use the same tactic for the Shield of Protection from Evil to get it. You must be the Magic User (not Elf or Cleric) to pick up this item.

Short Sword Level 1 - The Elf starts with a Short Sword Level 2. Start the game as a Dwarf instead. There is a hidden room if you press up by the first house you see in the background, after crossing the bridge after saving the villagers. There are some chests inside, one of them has the Short Sword Level 1.

Hand Axe Level 1 - The Dwarf starts with a Hand Axe Level 3. Start the game with a Fighter instead. The hand axe is in the same chest as the short sword if you have a Fighter.

Hand Axe Level 2 - For this one, play as a Fighter and after battling the Displacer Beast choose not to help the gnomes and pursue the sorceress. When you find yourself in the forest labyrinth, the Hand Axe Level 2 is in one of the chests inside the second opening where the ghouls are located.

Random Item Drops - increased chance of getting the drop by defeating the enemy quickly or hitting it with special attacks, such as aerial or desperate attacks.

Skin of the Displacer Beast (from D. Beast)
Cloak of Displacement - During the fight with the Displacer Beast, it might drop the Skin of the Displacer Beast. Pick it up and in the next gnome shop, click on the merchant to exchange it for the Cloak of Displacement for any character. This also is the item given to the Thief or Magic User for the Dragon Scales. The Dragon Scales are easier to get to drop for some reason, so I would suggest doing it that way.

Dragon Scales (from Black Dragon)
SPECIAL NOTE: I noticed the drop rate increased dramatically when I selected the Fighter and used his "Desperate Attack." You can keep it going if you turn on "Vampirism."
Dragon Shield - After fighting the Displacer Beast a gnome will approach you asking to save its village. Refuse and you will be brought into a forest labyrinth. Always go up and you will end up fighting a Black Dragon. During the fight, it might drop Dragon Scales. If you are a shield-bearing character, such as Dwarf, Fighter, Elf, or Cleric, you can exchange them in the next shop by clicking on the merchant and you will get the Dragon Shield. You must have free space in your inventory.

Horn of the Dragon (from Red Dragon)
SPECIAL NOTE: I noticed the drop rate increased dramatically when I selected the Fighter and used his "Desperate Attack." You can keep it going if you turn on "Vampirism."
Dragon Slayer - In the level, "The Cave of Rafael" enter the second cave on the left while falling. You will discover hidden treasures and a Red Dragon. Choose to fight it. During the fight it might drop Horn of the Dragon. If you are using a sword-wielding character, such as Dwarf, Fighter, Elf, or Thief, you can exchange them in the next shop by clicking on the merchant and you will get the Dragon Slayer. You must have free space in your inventory.

Staff of Magical Power - Same as the above, only do it with the Magic User. This is done much more easily by playing co-op with a Fighter who can slash the dragon until it drops and the Magic User can pick it up. This is also located in a hidden room in Area 10 but it requires multiple players to activate the floor stones and open doors.

Staff of Snakes - Same as the above, only do it with the Cleric. You can also get this in "Cave of Rafael" in the third cave on the right when falling by opening the chest in there with the Cleric.

Burning Arrow
The 2nd item I had trouble with is the Burning Arrow, I beat the game twice with the Elf and it never appeared, since the Elf is so versatile with skills she gets scrolls as alternative drops, making it harder to get the burning arrow to drop. While doing the above method when you reach the stairway and all out battle, towards the end shadow elf archers will pop on the sides and fire arrows then disappear, since my 1st player was a magic user I would cast Cloud Kill, one of the archers dropped it. It does not need to be in your inventory, just going over and picking it up then watching it drop counts.
**Credit to xD RoDD for his solution, but I wanted to clarify some key elements.

NAMING TRICK - This is most useful for getting the hat/helmet for a specific class, but can also be used to get accessories for a specific class.
Love01082008 said:
...Each character gets a specific type when given a name from a numeric translation. To keep it simple, just use one letter for their name... If you name your character letter "A" then you would get a Medal to start the game. If you name your character letter "G" then you would get the Gauntlets of Ogre Power. List courtesy of BJayakody of GameFAQs guide.

Type Item
A = Medal
B = Boots of Speed
C = Hat/Helmet suited to your class.
D = Ring of Protection
E = Ring of Fire Resistance.
F = Ring of Spell Turning.
G = Gauntlets of Ogre Power.
H = Rod of Fire(Mage), Earrings(Elf), Anklet(Fighter, Dwarf), Brooch (Cleric, Thief)
I = Bracelet, Rod of Cold(Magic User)
J = Orb, Necklace(Elf), Rod of Lightning(Mage)
HopkinsBear said:
I had trouble with the Ring of Spell Turning not unlocking with the naming trick (kept unlocking medal instead), if you have this problem just name the elf KAYLA and it should give it to you.

Scroll of Lightning - Turn on the House rules to increase SP drops. Load up final level should drop in the first room. Will definitely drop before reaching final boss.
If you are having trouble finding something not on this list, let me know and I will add it. Hopefully this clarifies finding some of the more difficult/hidden items. It still comes down to luck for the random drops, but using combo attacks, desperate attacks, and killing the boss quickly increases the drop rate.

A tip for anyone having trouble getting a Scroll of Lightning Bolt in Tower of Doom - load up the level where you discovered the dying soldier in the thicket and are given the option to head to the town or go to the fort to help the soldiers. Go to the fort, and from the entrance screen take the stairway leading up to the ramparts, then continue to the right across the ramparts to the Displacer Beast fight. This seems to be the most common enemy drop for the scroll.

I fought through the Sable Tower level a dozen or more times and couldn't get a SINGLE instance of the Scroll of Lightning Bolt to drop. The 3rd or 4th time I killed the Displacer Beast and low and behold, there's my scroll. smile

An Alternative method to Magic Scroll Lv 8, I honestly hated fighting the boss on stage 10-3 and hoping he would drop it, and preferred the Gargoyles as the target. To increase your drop chances you want to fight the most targets within the shortest amount of time. Sadly the last level is the best bet, as there are two gargoyles before the boss on 10-3, and there are 4 gargoyles after the boss. What I did was made the first player the green magic user and I started player 2 as the fighter, use the fighter to whoop butt on Elderin. Run to the next point every chance you get. When you get to the gargoyles use the magic user spell Cloud Kill, when I did it on the 4 gargoyles they died in one hit, and that is where I got my Level 8 Magic Scroll. I tried desperate attacks on the boss with the fighter hoping for an increase drop but to no avail. This method took me about 3 run through before it dropped (though I beat this area a few times and would deliberately switch to the magic user, the scroll never dropped.)

The 2nd item I had trouble with is the Burning Arrow, I beat the game twice with the Elf and it never appeared, since the Elf is so versatile with skills she gets scrolls as alternative drops, making it harder to get the burning arrow to drop. While doing the above method when you reach the stairway and all out battle, towards the end shadow elf archers will pop on the sides and fire arrows then disappear, since my 1st player was a magic user I would cast Cloud Kill, one of the archers dropped it. It does not need to be in your inventory, just going over and picking it up then watching it drop counts.

3rd challenging item, if you see XX Rodd's guide he links to GameFAQS and there is a flow chart showing the Staff of Elemental Power, that you can get it from the boss Nagpa. A far quicker method is the 3rd entrance on the right when falling down the stage with the Red Dragon. In that chest is the staff. Far easier than a boss fight.

Also to re-emphasize, when trying for the drops like scales and skins, absolutely use the fighter an desperate attack, I got the Beholder eye, Manticore Skin, Dragon Scale, all in one go using this method. Last bit, per the other guide, your character name has a numeric translation, but to keep it simpler if you just name him one letter i.e. A or B or C or D etc there is a corresponding item, the letter C is the helmet for whatever class you choose, some of the later letters can be accessories depending upon class, the above poster mentions Earrings, well with the right letter and playing as the Elf, the earrings are an item that can be given to you. The list is about 20 items if you google them.

Did you click on the sword in the background with the finger several times? It should become an option to purchase on the weapon screen (I think it is third weapon and the morning Star is the fourth). It should be in the second set of items (scroll) if I remember correctly.

cheers bro. Not sure why it would notclet me get the sword but the morningstar without any problem.i found it somewhere else i think. Found out about an alternate way to get it. A chest somewhere. Its in the link above i found it. Btw there is a fault in there. Staff of elemental power is not tradable in the shop after getting horn from red dragon after falling down and entering 2nd cave on the left in "rafaels something..." level. Actually its 1st cave on the right when falling . The lowest cave. Enter it with magician and it will be in a chest right there. Otherwise great guide and solutions.still plus one tho ;)

Staff of Elemental Power is different from Staff of Magical Power. You must trade for the staff of Magical Power (or get it in a chest in level 10). The staff of Elemental Power is where you say it is located but it is also elsewhere in the game. You should get it easily in your playthrough as the Magic User. I found it in several locations. The 2-handed sword is also somewhere in the game when you play as Fighter, but I could not remember exactly. The fastest way to get it was in the Gnome Shop. Thanks for the info.

Just wanted to add that the Storm Blade is on the last level where you jump through the window and not in the cave of Rafael. Use the elf to get it in the chest.

Hey Achilles, the window or chest you mean is in that cave when you fall down in "Cave of Rafael". In fact i think its the same chest as where i eventually found the staff of elemental power when opened with the magician.

By Achilles8249 on 14 Feb 2014 05:44
You need a female for the earring. Not exactly sure where to find it though, but it is fairly common. The figure is a random drop and not class dependent. I can't remember if it is in a chest somewhere. Make sure to play through the game on easy with each character before going for specific items. You can get over 80% that way without trying.

"4. Do not go for this achievement until you have completed the game from start to finish with each character!" Why is this step necessary? Is there some item that you obtain by completing the game with each character? If so, what is it?

By BG Curator on 25 Feb 2014 20:36
Several items are class specific and only drop or are available in shops if you are a certain character. There are also weapons that only certain characters can use, such as Mace level 2, 3,4 and short sword level 2, 3, 4. It is easier to go through the game with each character and then go back and clean up what remains. You can do it however you want, but it would be way too long to list out every treasure and where to find it, so I listed the most common missed items after several playthroughs since you have to fulfill certain requirements to get them, such as stealing or finding hidden rooms.

Thanks for this. Any tips for finding the earrings in Tower of Doom? I've been through the game 5 or 6 times now. It's the last item I need to complete the game and I am having no luck. Is it just a random drop that I am having a hard time finding or what?

By BG Curator on 01 Mar 2014 03:15
I would guess you get them when you play as the elf. Although I am not 100%. I must have gotten them on my play through and I do not recall an exact location. The earrings in mystara are also with the elf but you can use the naming trick to get them. Sorry I can't help more.

I have found the earrings in Tower of Doom. After about 8 or 9 playthroughs (with multiple characters), I believe I can state definitively that they are NOT a random drop. I believe the only place they can be found is the cave with the ogre, and only with the fighter. Choose the fighter as your character, select chapter 1, and kill the first few enemies. When the caravan guard gives you the choice of heading to the mountains after the monsters or going to the town, choose the mountains.
Proceed through the level until you reach the ogre boss. On the far right side of his area are two treasure chests. If you are playing as the fighter, the top one will contain the earrings. Other characters receive different items.

Honestly idk. It has been months since I played this game and not 100% positive. I had no problem getting the Figure in ToD in the place I mentioned. Got it on two separate playthroughs with different characters, but those were full playthroughs without level loading.

Do you have to do a full play through for the game to save your loot drops? I'm replaying the village level to get the Lvl 1 Short Sword and even if I finish the level it won't show that I got it...

Use a Desperate attack on the Maticore until it is dropped. Should work like all other boss drops. As for Lvl 4 short sword, that should come from the Elf after leveling up towards the end of the game. It's been a wile since I played this so it's hard to remember every item location.

Finally! If anyone is looking for a Polymorph ring, I found a chest that always has one. You must be a Magic User, load up the sky ship level. Kill the harpy and elf. Proceed to the Forest of Despair. Right at the beginning jump down the cliff, fight to the right until you get taken to the next "scene". Now go left, you'll see a cave that's flashing, enter it. Now open the bottom chest and BAM you've got your Polymorph Others ring

Pretty sure cursed sword names are flip flopped for the secondary unlock weapons.

Also Figure WILL NOT appear if you have house rules on.
Unsure if it is only the one for loot drops or all.

Spent a more hours than i care to admit replaying the same section over and over before i thought to turn the rules off. First try it was there.

Also
Thumbs up!

You don't actually have to be able to use the items, to add them to the list as found.

I tried to get the Shield of Protection from Evil as the Thief, she picked it up and dropped it, but it still counted as found.

Ran the Tower and the Displacer Beast around 15 times each with no Lightning Bolt scroll. Googled, and someone suggested just using cloud kill on the first 3 enemies in the tower and then restarting if you don't get it. Took about 15 tries but that worked for me, so if the other 2 methods don't work, try that. Very frustrating, even for a game that's intentionally supposed to be frustrating so it can eat your quarters...

Got the scroll level 8 from a gargoyle in the last level playing the elf, who IMO, is much easier to go through the last level with. Mine had the sword of legend, though I don't know if you have to unlock it first for her to have it. Either way, it was much easier than using the MU.

Battle axe - last level with dwarf, in the section where you face the two gargoyles, at the end before the exit to the next section there is a window you can jump through. Inside this chamber is a chest surrounded by fire. Get hit by the fire and then run through while still invulnerable and open the chest and the axe is inside.

Scroll level 8 - start at Caves of Rafael and drop straight down, choose the ice level and I got this with the Elf after killing some shadow elves and troglodytes. Ironically I was making my way to the frost salamander boss as I'd heard the gargoyles sometimes dropped them but it dropped in the main section instead.

Thanks to your guide (voted up), I got 100% this afternoon...but it didn’t unlock. Has this happened to anyone else?

The thought of it having maybe glitched and having to do another playthrough after this grindy thing is disconcerting.

BURNING ARROW: just kill the Manticore in "Battle of Strong Oak" with the Thief and it can drop it.

This guide was incredibly helpful, but I still had to go looking elsewhere to find help for a couple of my last treasures.

Battle Axe (also written in various locations as Battleaxe or Battle-Axe). In the Sky Castle's second area there's a window you can jump through. In the hidden room behind that window is a chest surrounded by fire pilums. Play as the Dwarf and open this chest for the best chance to find the Battle axe.

Ring of Polymorph Others. This is supposed to be an uncommon drop from enemies like Gargoyles, but I never got it to drop. Another internet source provided this alleged 100% spawn chest. Play as a Magic User in the Forest of Despair. Keep south at the start and jump down as soon as you can, you'll land near a cave entrance. Jump down again and there's another cave. This cave has a chest in it which should have the ring.

The Hand Axe Level 4 seems to be bugged for me. Cant seem to unlock it even though I've played with the dwarf many times. Anyone had issues like this?

EDIT: I played as the dwarf from the beginning of the game and the achievement unlocked after fighting Tel' Arin on the Sky ship in Chapter 3. If anyone has similar glitches, try that and hopefully it works for you.

I manage to get the figure in tower of doom using a fighter from the manticore when i defeated it. I had turned off everything in the house rules. (Not sure if that mattered).

The only item I can’t get is the necklace. Every time I name my elf J to get the necklace, it makes me Type E instead of Type J, and gives me the ring of fire resistance

Yeah, the naming part is just completely wrong. My Shadow Over Mystara game only uses Types A-E, and cycles through those if you use letters past E. Types F-J don’t exist

Types F-J are had with names 0-4 (digits) respectively.

The scroll of Sticks to Snakes (Tower of Doom) can only be found by the Cleric (I found it in the second level after killing the owlbear).

The Ring of Djinn Conjuring is found in the Beholder level. Select the forest of Despair (after the zeppelin scene), and jump down to the floor of the level. Instead of going up to the green rock blocking a cave, jump right and down to the floor, then go all the way to the left of the level. Found in a metallic chest.

Probably worth explaining that the Morning Star and Two-Handed Sword in the Gnome Village are 8,000 and 6,000 gold respectively so if you just play from the start of the relevant level you won't have enough gold for either one.

Easiest way around this is to change the House Rules so more money drops, and play as the Fighter a level or two before you get to the Forest. I started at the Skies level (where you're on the ship in the sky) and by the time I got to the shop I had enough for both the Morning Star and the Two-Handed sword so you can get them in one go.

Negative because there are too much misleading information that should be corrected. For example on of them is about eh holy avenger! It is not were you push a stone. But a bit further on that level very close to the stone you can push is a secret room. It looks like a huge egg you can walk into. In there is the avenger if you try to pick it up with a second controller that is cleric 8 times. It will then change and you can pick it up with your fighter.

The level is the forest of despair after the flying ship level.

****SHADOW OVER MYSTARA***

DISPLACER CLOAK - thief or Magic - select this chapter ~ the grove of destruction ~ and when u kill the boss, a gnome will appear, select the first option, go find the sorcerers... so in this part u have a lot of paths, up or down, if u make the correct sequence u jump the boss, but we need fight with the black dragon, so select all paths UP, when u fight with this dragon, he need drop an item ~ Dragon Scales ~, with this item droped, in the next shop after the battle, use your cursor in the guy and he will trade this item for an displacer cloak or dragon shield, depend your character.

when u start this, u are falling, the second cave in your left side, when u go is hidden treasures, someone start to talk with u and make u 3 questions, simple, the first and second u choose no and the last one yes, so after this u will fight with the RED DRAGON, when u fight with this, he need drop this item ~ Dragon Horn ~, same as the last itens, in the next shop trade this for the item.

Might as well add the final item I ( and a friend of mine ) were looking for.

STAFF OF WIZARDRY : Is found right before entering the room to fight Ezerhorden on the final level * Gateway *. ( Stage 10-3 ). You'll see a window on the north wall before entering the room to fight the boss, this window is actually a secret area. Inside you'll find the same room explained in Daeryoon's guide to grab the shield of protection from evil.

Taken from his guide but replacing * ice * with * fire * : * You can get to it by going all the way over to the right, then push up into the walls of fire. You will get burned and knocked back, but you have just enough time to get through the barrier if you move fast. Another option is to push into them until you are killed. When you continue, dash through the barrier while you are invincible *

P.S Thanks for all the help Daeryoon!


Edit : If you are missing any of the hats/ helmets. For example : Magical hat or Tiara, all you need to do is start the first level and go through it until they ask for your name, put in the letter * C * as your name, and your character will switch to * type C * which starts you off with their hat / helmet. To validate this yourself press the back button and you'll see the hat/helmet equipped. Kill yourself and get game over for credit.

Glitched

This is the most time consuming trophy in the game. To get it, you need to find and pick up every single item in both Tower of Doom (47 items) and Shadow over Mystara (121 items).

While Tower of Doom items are usually in plain sight and just need exploration of the various branches of the game, some of the items in Shadow over Mystara are really bothersome and hidden. I will try to list some of the most elusive ones but if you can't find something in particular then see this FAQ here: LINK (Credit to IGN.com for the link)

It is not entirely accurate but hell of a lot more detailed than my list. With the help of both, you will have all items in no time.

After finishing both games, you will have the majority of items. To pick up the rest, use chapter select to jump to the location of the item, then do what you've read on the net (or here) to get it.

Here's the most probable "missing" list:

Ring of Protection from Evil - You need to finish "The Cave of Rafael" with a Dwarf. This way, in the next area, a third path will open for you. Choose the third option and you will be brought in a cave with some falling stones. Die here, if you are playing solo, then continue and select the Thief. After the cave, you will come to a boss fight with the dark elf you fought earlier and another green elf. Use the Thief to steal the Ring of Protection from Evil from the green elf.

Egg of Owlbear - Stolen from Owlbears with the Thief.

Displacer Cloak - During the fight with the Displacer Beast, it might drop the Skin of the Displacer Beast. Pick it up and in the next gnome shop, click on the merchant to exchange it for the Displacer Cloak.

Dragon Shield - After fighting the Displacer Beast a gnome will approach you asking to save its village. Refuse and you will be brought into a forest labyrinth. Always go up and you will end up fighting a Green Dragon. During the fight, it might drop Dragon Scales. Exchange them in the next shop by clicking on the merchant and you will get the Dragon Shield.

Dragon Slayer - In the Cave of Rafael enter the second cave on the left while falling. You will discover hidden treasures and a Red Dragon. Choose to fight it. During the fight it might drop Horn of the Dragon. Exchange it in the next shop for the Dragon Slayer by clicking on the merchant.

Staff of Magical Power - Same as the above, only do it with the Magic User.

Sword of Legend - In the Cave of Rafael if you enter the first cave to the left while falling, you will find a Cursed Sword. Pick it up and equip it then try to swing it. You will be hit by the curse and lose health and probably die a couple of times but at some point, the sword will change into the Sword of Legend.

Holy Avenger - Play the chapter Skies over Aengmore with a Cleric, then after killing the boss, select to go in the caves. Go up in this next area until you see a rock that you can push aside to reveal a hidden room, in this room lies another Cursed Sword. If you try to pick it up several times with the Cleric, it will turn into the Holy Avenger.

Short Sword Level 1 - The Elf starts with a Short Sword Level 2 so to pick this one up, play as the Dwarf. At the Village of Tristan there will be a hidden room if you press by the first house you see in the background, after crossing the bridge. There are some chests inside, one of them has the Short Sword Level 1.

Hand Axe Level 1 - The Dwarf starts with a Hand Axe Level 3. To get level 1, do the same as the above only this time do it with a Fighter. The hand axe is in the same chest as the short sword.

Hand Axe Level 2 - The Dwarf starts with a Hand Axe Level 3. In order to get level 2, play as a Fighter and after battling the Displacer Beast choose not to help the gnomes. When you find yourself in the forest labyrinth, the Hand Axe Level 2 will be in one of the chests you will come across.

Attention!!! The trophy is buggy (this is also confirmed by foreign sites). I recommend that before completing the last test, save to the PS PLUS cloud, or to a flash drive.
Important!!! If the trophy is bugged, then this case can be cured (unlike the trophy for all the tests). This case is treated in the following way: if you do not get the trophy, then close the game completely through PS and enter again. Select the “Tower Of Doom” storyline through SELECT " and select the very first chapter and any character. We start the level, and after some time, literally a minute, you will get this trophy.
