Star Ocean: The Last Hope

There are some great treasure lists out there, which I recommend you print out and use. It can get confusing if you're not keeping track, since you must backtrack for many chests. The list I recommend is found here:

Something that helps when hunting chests is Lymle's Treasure Sense skill, which can be taught to her with the corresponding Skill Manual found in the Alanaire Citadel on Lemuris. This causes all treasure chests to appear on your mini map, and will show you if you've opened them or not. For an even easier time, press start to view the larger map whenever you need it to scan a large area of the map for chests.

There are many missable chests throughout the early parts of the game. The list I linked to will tell you these chests, but for a quick reference, I've listed them here:

- The chest in Lymle's house in Triom must be opened before completing the Celestial Ship
- Fill your Fire Ring at Woodley before leaving for the Cardianon Mothership
- All chests on the Cardianon Mothership in all sections must be opened before you leave
- Fill your Fire Ring again before heading towards Earth
- Open all the chests on Earth before leaving

If you are diligent at opening all the chests as you come to them, the achievement will unlock sometime during your plundering in the Purgatorium.

The second dungeon, in a chest, there is a skill book called with Treasure something in it's name, apply that book onto one of your people, and you will be able to see all treasure chests on the minimap of each section of places you are in, then just go and start collecting.


(Note: With chests with ice, Ivy, Darkness, Holy Light, etc. you will need to wait until you get items later to open them)
