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:
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.
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:
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.
Love01082008 said:
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.
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:
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)
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.
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.

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.
so i played this a lot and u can find a lot of views, foruns and walks about the game and this itens... i am going make a preview about the most dificult in my opinion.

I hope this is useful for u guys, :D byeee
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.
ITEM: Battle Axe
"A great axe compromises using a shield in favour of sheer offense. Found somewhere in the Air Castle."
https://www.arcadequartermaster.com/ddsom_items.html
LOCATION: Stage 10-1 (Gateway)
Find the doorway with four floor switches (activate using the two knight statues and a second player).
Inside the room, find the three chests (one large wooden chest and two smaller metal chests).
The Battle Axe is in the metal chest closest to the bottom of the screen.
[Wooden chest]
[Metal chest #1]
[Metal chest #2] <== Battle Axe
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.
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.
